I just created a policies.json file in the appropriate distribution folder with ONE policiy, then restarted the browser, and now the browser shows: The browser is managed by your organisation. ("Der Browser wird durch Ihre Organisation verwaltet." in German.)

Now the question occured to me: Has this any effect on the changes I made before manually in the about:config section, or in the settings UI, other than the one change by the one policy I put in the policies.json?

We realized that our Firefox ESR 91.4.1 (installed on couple of hundreds of PCs) tries to connect to the IP 34.107.221.82 which is marked as high risk. How is it possible? What exactly wants Firefox to do with this IP.

It is strange that connection to this IP goes directly and be blocked on our corporate firewall. Why does it go directly even if proxy is enabled and works. ?

Kind regards Vladimir

Hi,

Is there any possibility to provide funding to prioritize the resolution of certain defects in Firefox? We do not have the in-house knowledge to contribute the fixes ourselves but would be interested in providing funding to have them resolved faster. Is there any way to achieve that through Mozilla foundation or could please recommend some other solution?

Best regards Josef

As Chromium has been announcing, version 98 removed support for TLS 1.0/1.1. I know Mozilla has extended support for TLS 1.0/1.1 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Other browsers did the same.

I’m curious if there is an official statement on a target end date for TLS 1.0/1.1 in Firefox Extended Support release. While the warnings show up, “Connection not secure. This page uses weak encryption”, can we expect Firefox ESR to stop this displaying websites using TLS 1.0/1.1?

What I’m hoping to avoid is a surprise. Thank you for your time, and I really do appreciate this community!

There is a certificate for an internal website that FireFox is saying is not valid/secure and it makes you add an exception. However, if you use IE, Edge or Chrome it loads fine with the valid CA Certificate. I've cleared all data (cache/etc...) and it hasn't fixed it. Hopefully someone has a fix for this?

Getting "SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER" for the certificate and its saying:

I am using Firefox ESR 102.2.0 version which I updated yesterday. Now when I try to login to my account on "https://myaccount.hdfclife.com/login", the captcha is covered and I can not read it. See the attached file.

It was working fine in the previous esr release 102.1.0. I have tested it with a new profile and captcha is visible in 102.2.0 version.

My query is about the cause of this issue and how can I fix it. I have checked and found that this issue does not appear on other websites. If there is an issue with the profile it should be with other websites which is not the case.

Please help

Hello,

I'm trying to deploy Firefox with several languages.

I followed the guide on [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/deploying-firefox-language-packs].

Everything work fine until I set up ExtensionSettings policy. This policy hide and block languages menu.

After scratching my head for a while, I finally figured out how to do it. I would to like to know if an easier way to whitelist all locales and dictionaries. I would like to only control the extensions.

Hello,

I am managing Firefox for a very large organization. We have several extension that we deploy using registry keys and we don't allow users to install additional addons. However, since version 102.3 I noticed some extensions that are present on the machine as .xpi files, but should not install unless a specific application is also present, are also being activated. They are enabled in the add-on manager, the information is present in the "extensions.json" and "extension-preferences.json" files. This should not happen. Is there any way to prevent the activation of these files?

Thank you!

When deployed to test devices, all extension previously installed get removed and Ublock get installed, seem like working as intended but when I try to install any "Allowed" I get the block installed message. I see no error in "about:policies". I don't know where else to look for why its getting blocked?

Any help will be much appreciated.

Version: Firefox ESR 102.9.0 (64-bit) - Windows 10 Enterprise 22H2

Customers have been complaining for about 6 months that they can no longer drag and drop email attachments from Outlook (Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2019 - Exchange) into a Help Desk formula. I tested dragging from Outlook desktop and from the web version.

Drag and Drop works when using Edge and Chrome.

This is not a major issue, since customers can use the other browsers, but since they would prefer to use Firefox, a fix would really be appreciated.  :-)

  • 1Password; and
  • Firefox Multi Containers.

This is my json:

Please submit a ticket to Help Desk if you need access to this extension.", "install_sources": ["https://addons.mozilla.org/"], "installation_mode": "blocked" }, "{bc8367b6-d946-484e-8da6-37691f23ee64}": { "installation_mode": "allowed", "install_url": "https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/latest/1password-x-password-manager/latest.xpi" }, "{2a28e7e4-64c9-4e7f-81fb-0475af840c0f}": { "installation_mode": "allowed", "install_url": "https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/latest/multi-account-containers/latest.xpi" } }

I have tried the obvious and removed the {} from both extensions, however still having troubles.

Is someone able to point me in the right direction?

I am using the intune preview feature which allows you to import admx/adml instead of using the custom injection method. Everything works far better then with the injection method, except for one settings:

ExtensionSettings this setting is working when I have only one setting set (ex):

{"someplugin@test.com": { "installation_mode" : "allowed" }}

If I add a second line to the entry:

{"someotherplugin@test.com":{ "installation_mode" : "allowed"}}

I understand this is a new feature, but if I had the correct format that would work for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox\ExtensionSettings to allow two plugins to work I belive I shouldn't have any issue getting the admx feature to do this, I even tried manually editing the registry setting and it breaks whenever I add the second line to it.
