Reason: CORS request not http, can't bypass with file_unique_origin - Firefox 89

I am trying to do some local web development, if I open an index file directly in Firefox it complains that the CORS request is not being made over HTTP. I know I can try and set up a local web server for development but that's beside the point.

According to this previous Mozilla post linked below I can set privacy.file_unique_origin to false, and it's suppose to override the security setting. This does not work for me, setting it to false and closing all browsers and testing the HTML file again, I still see the CORS error. Is this setting now useless in the newest version of Firefox? Is there a different config setting I need to adjust?

Why, when I click on a URL while using Firefox on my Android phone, is it always invoked in the address field via google.com? I get that Android is Google, but does anyone know a way to disable this totally unnecessary, and privacy-destroying, functionality?

Hi,

my Firefox suddenly stop autologging my to Facebook or Gmail. After every restart of the application, I have to accept again cookies on every site. I have followed these steps and nothing helped. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1176200

Then I tried to restore my default settings and autologin works again. Until my Mozilla synchronised with my account.

Can anyone, please, help? Thank you.

TLS connection/certificates information

Hello Community,

In Firefox for Android (both Stable ans Beta) I am completely unable to find a way to show the details of and HTTPS/TLS connection (protocol and ciphers used, issuing authority, common name and SANs, validity and so on).

The desktop version of Firefox and almost every other mobile app I tried support displaying this information (with varying dégrée of verbosity).

Especially when the certificate verification fails it would be very useful to see such details, and it seems a bit weird that a browser like Firefox doesn't provider such a basic feature. I am sure that I'm missing something very stupid

Today when I opened my Thunderbird email the attached warning popped up. When I looked over your guidelines it said there was nothing I could do about it and I needed to go to the actual provider to report it. When I did, their SITE also was also non-attainable. How do I report the issue when I cannot even get to the provider?

My Thunderbird Email: artstar@ihot.com False Certificate s certification (attached) : mail:ihot.com:143

Service provider: cPanel (ihot.com) True Certificate info - host30:ihot.com

  -  cPanel, Inc. Certification Authority
  -  COMODO RSA Certification Authority

Provider website: False(not secure)- https://ihot.com:2096/ (attached)

Any suggestions?

Thank you. Rob artstar@ihot.com Alternate: rhugger@att.net

Firefox asks for my Primary Password on every page of Firefox I open whether I want to use a password or not. I have to click to remove the box and I lose control of the page because the page will move opposite of the direction my cursor moves. Can I open the "Primary Password" box whenever I want to use it instead having to deal with it every time I open a Firefox webpage?

This can be very frustrating.

Authentication failure while connecting to imap servers for INCOMING & OUTGOING gmail.com and yahoo.com

GOOD THING I MADE A COPY OF THIS MESSAGE. IT TIMED OUT BEING SENT.

I have two gmail accounts, one yahoo, and one hotmail on my HP laptop, running Windows 10.

I've been having server authentication problems with Thunderbird on all of them ('except 'hotmail) since 9/22/21 for incoming mail and 9/17/21 or 9/20/21 for outgoing mail. Each account gives me the "failure while connecting" message. Screen shots attached.

Hotmail often gives me "your email was not sent; try again later" message. BUT it has sent the message and it has been received! Sorry, no screen shot of that error message.

I don't remember the terminology, but I have "listed" Thunderbird as safe/allowed to log in on my behalf with each of my accounts.

From the PC, I am able to log in to all of these email accounts directly with the same user/passwords entered in Thunderbird. My Galaxy S7 Smartphone successfully sends & receives from each of these accounts using a different mail client.

Please let me know if you need information on the server set ups. Until today, I did not realize the extent of this issue. I really need help! Thanks.

Two different public keys made by Thunderbird

Hi. Probably just a stupid question but still can't figure it out: why do I have two different public (and private) keys? When I go to "Account Settings -> End-to-End encryption -> Copy public key to clipboard" is creating a different key from the public key that is usually attached when I send an email.

The same happens with private key: the secret key in my file and the private key I produce when I select the "Backup secret key to a file" are different.

Why is this happening? Thank you

Problems with banking and two-factor authentication

Since my bank, the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC), introduced two-factor authentication (TFA) some time last year, I have had to go through the authentication steps each and every time I log in (albeit with no problems). I always use Firefox for my banking (currently version 92.0.1) and always the same Windows 10 home computer. I had expected that TFA would only occasionally and randomly be required in my situation. This is obviously not the case.

I finally got tired of this and called the CIBC. They told me that they were familiar with this issue and that the problem is with the Firefox browser and its apparent inability to store/keep TFA cookies. They recommended that I switch to Chrome. I have read responses from moderators on this forum to similar questions and can categorically state that I do not prevent the placement of cookies or delete them. I do, however, have the uBlock Origin extension installed for ad blocking.

I look forward to any suggestions that may resolve this issue.
