I know nothing about the dev options for Internet settings and minor turned on and it says the remote server is set to production. No flipping idea what this is. Can somebody please help me?

I am logged on to my Credit Union and attempt to download my statements. When using Firefox I get the message: {"Errors":["Authorization has been denied for this request."]}

When I contacted my CU, they said to add an URL to the Manage Exceptions. This worked, but I want to know why Firefox needs this but Chrome doesn't.

Hello,

I had issue to verify the cert on android app for https://partners-enrichment.heytelecom.be. On Windows I didn't have the same issue.

version 144.0.2 / build id 20251027123126 / target arm64-v8a armeabi-v7a x86_64 Device: Samsung S22 / One UI 7.0 / Android version 15 / version S901U1UES8FYI2 / Security patch level September 1, 2025

Error: Secure Connection Failed, because its certificate issuer is unknown, the certificate is self-signed, or the server is not sending the correct intermediate certificates.

CertChain RCA: DigiCert Global Root G2 DCA: DigiCert Global G2 TLS RSA SHA256 2020 CA1 cert: partners-enrichment.heytelecom.be

1) I couldn't check the cert from the gui as on windows. Shield in search bar / Connection not secure doesn't opened the cert. Is it expected?

2) I found this helppage: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/setting-certificate-authorities-firefox

Unfortunately about:preferences isn't available on android (ref. https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/u593x0/how_to_access_to_aboutpreferences_on_android/)

I see in about:certificate which is the correct RCA (I verified the pem file with the root). DigiCert Global Root G2

Where do I check the Intermediate CA's (DCA)?

3) When exporting the RCA it has been download as: digicert-global-root-g2.pem.txt Why the txt at the end?

On Windows it downloads as digicert-global-root-g2.pem

Kind regards,

I have several users that are running Firefox 137. When attempting to update, they get the message that the organization has blocked updates. There is nothing I can see that we have done. Attempted to update registry and .json file. I cannot find where the block is coming from. Do I need to delete and reinstall?

I want nothing to do with AI.

I have unticked perplexity.ai in preferences#search but every search from the search bar and address bar goes to perplexity.ai then immediately crashes and displays "Internal Error".

To use DDG I have to type duckduckgo.com on the address bar then search from there.

Firefox 140.4.0 ESR.

I've' scanned the PC with malwarebytes. I restored windows from a backup image I haven't made any changes to the PC at all. Was working fine in the AM but by later afternoon, it started using perplexity.ai exclusively.

How do I get rid of perplexity.ai

I look after about 20 PCs. All Windows 10. All were running Firefox ESR ranging from 115 - 128. As I get time I update each to the latest 128.x. Using group policies I've disabled all update settings.

However, on two of the PCs, they have updated to v139.0.1. Both of the users swear they did not manually do any update. I can't figure out how they got downgraded to the retail channel.

So my question is, since 128 < 139 how can I get them back on to the ESR channel, without loosing history, bookmarks, passwords and saved logins? I gather FF's installer will detect 128 as an older version and throw an error?

ESR -> Retail to me is a downgrade. So is it possible then to upgrade back to 128.11.x?

Each PC is refreshed annually and the only backup of the profile folder I have is from the last refresh, which in most cases in 8-9 months old.

Is there any way to find out why the downgrade happened when group policy forbids it, and the user did not manually download and install the latest version?

When these downgrades happen they break things. For example, when one PC was downgraded to retail his outlook.com email no longer works. If he uses his laptop which is on 128.11.0 it works fine.

Hi,

I have 2 machines (Win10 and Win11) with FF 140.3.1esr (32-bit) installed which demonstrates the same failure when I enter one site's url:

PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR

Chrome at the same machines goes at this url w/o any failures. Any ideas what to change on "about:config" in FF to allow it opening this url w/o such error?

Hello

We want to set up a GPO that when users exit their Firefox browser, all of there cookies and cache gets deleted.

How do we do this?

Thanks

Hi all,

For quite a while I'm working together with others on a voluntary base (nobody gets money) as members of a computer-club, a charitable NGO and NPO (in German: gemeinnütziger Verein) for seniors in order to bring them closer to the use of digital devices and media. It's not only teaching, but administrating the hard- and software as well.

I can remember that it was possible in former versions of Firefox to include at least a script into "defaults->prefs". I think it was user.js (not sure) in the installation folder to define common preferences to be fixed, like proxi settings. It always worked well, preventing non-privileged users from making any unwanted changes. As a I found out there must have been a very similar way to include add-ons (like uBlock Origin).

Unfortunately all content I found was older than about 10 years. When trying setting up Firefox as it is now, my test system didn't care about anything I've tried.

I'm talking about > 50 Windows-PC having in average 3 user profiles each (for teaching more than 400 members). We are amateurs regarding PC administration, except some network ex-professionals. "Baking" installation media including our needs, as I already found on Mozilla's pages, seems to be beyond our abilities as well as distributing a fitting profile (we don't have a MS-server), not speaking about Group Policies.

Is there any usable guideline for people like us? Today, each FF-installation looks different and I would like to unify this as easy as possible.

Hi,

I am having the issues on more than 1 pc that after updating the firefox esr 128 version to 140 esr version, the firefox does not work properly, specially with xWiki. when i click on xwiki (on-premis server), i can read the contents and all. but when i click edit then it shows the blank page. this is very odd as it happens after updating to 140 version. picture is attached.

Thanks Sheras

How do I lock the Microsoft Purview settings in the attached image using intune, so users cannot change them.

I have been able to make it that they cant disable or remove the extension but cannot figure out how to make it that they cant change the settings. I did try making a json file but it does not seem like Firefox uses it.

We are allowing end user to scan 2D matrix barcode using a wedge scanner in our application. We are facing a problem where different elements of the bar code are not getting split into the application. On investigating this further, we found that Firefox browser not recognising the FNC character(input character 29) coming from input stream (barcode scanner in this case).

I have a few questions regarding the auto-update policy of extensions installed via ExtensionSettings with the force_installed installation mode.

1. Can the extension receive auto-updates just like extensions installed through normal means? (e.g. extensions installed from https://addons.mozilla.org)
2. If so, will the user be notified when the extension requests new permissions?

I've been tasked with removing Firefox from all Windows workstations in our enterprise environment. Our users don't have local admin, so when they install Firefox, it is installed in the user's profile.

I've just installed Firefox 143.0.1 in my own user profile for testing purposes. However, when I attempt to uninstall, either from Control Panel or by running %localappdata%\Mozilla Firefox\uninstall\helper.exe manually, UAC prompts for elevation, even though I installed without elevating.

Is this a known issue? If yes, is there a workaround?

Thanks!
