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

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:

   Peer’s Certificate issuer is not recognized.

Hi,

I got an issue that bookmarks are saved in the library, but this doesn't reflect on the Bookmark toolbar.

I hope somebody can help, this started happening recently it seems.

Thanks in advance!

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!

I need to set the max TLS version to 1.3 and the min version to 1.2 on my shstems. The max and min TLS versions are set to 4 and 3 by default in about:config. If I use lockPref(“security.tls.version.max”,”3”), it is still 4 in about:config for some reason. If I set the min version to 2, it is still 3. This also doesn’t work if I use “SSLVersionMin”: “tls1.2” how can I fix this issue? Thank you in advance!

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,

We want to run Firefox in our environment which is constantly scanned by a security scanner, and deducts points for applications which have a vulnerability that has an available patch, but the patch has not been installed. These are on shared Windows terminal servers. Firefox is one of two browsers, Edge being the other one.

If users do not launch firefox at least once, then Firefox never gets updated.

Yes, we have the background update service installed, but it sets itself to manual, and if I try to start it, it simply gives the error "error 1: incorrect function"

How can we configure Firefox 115ESR to be able to run this service automatically, check for updates, and install, without a user on a particular terminal server ever having launched the application once?

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?

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.  :-)

In Supernova (v115) on Windows 11, when I view a message by double-clicking it to open it in a new window, I can set the Mail Toolbar to visible, then right click on it and select Customize. In previous versions I would put large icon/text button up there for Reply, Reply All, Forward, Print, and Delete. Those buttons don't appear to be available in Supernova for this toolbar.

Some of them appear to be in a fixed area as buttons with text beside the icon, and this area does not appear to have any customization available. For example, I don't use the Junk and Archive buttons, so if this "button area" must remain visible in this position, I'd like to be able to customize which of these buttons are visible.

My real preference would be to not have these buttons appear where they are now (to the right of the FROM: info), but instead to be able to have them in the Mail Toolbar at the top of the window as I could in the past. See attached screenshot for clarification of the Mail Toolbar->Customize window that doesn't currently allow for Reply, Reply All, Forward, Print and Delete to be added to the top Mail Toolbar.

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!

Hi,

i'm running Firefox on +70 Windows 10 PCs in three labs in a university. I've applied a computer configuration GPO with AppAutoUpdate enabled, BackgroundAppUpdate enabled and DisableAppUpdate disabled to my PCs, but it looks like i don't get automatic updates. In my labs i see some workstations have Firefox 108.0.1, but most workstations still have Firefox 107.0.1...

As my users can switch between workstations and labs, this leads to the annoying 'older version' message box when a user worked on a PC which already got the update and later uses another PC which didn't get the update. The users are also forced to create a 'new' profile then, which is quite problematic because of the size of the roaming profiles.

Any hints?

I have seen many references to this problem that Mozilla does not seem to want to fix.

I have to log in to my (remote) server regulary using the server IP address - there is not a domain name.

Every time (cookies/history always cleared on exit) it presents the message "Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead" and then have to click advanced then accept the risk. Under previous versions I use, this could be stored so you do not have to go thrugh this process EVERY time on logging in to the server.

Everyone knows you can NOT assign a security certificate to an IP address so why does Mozilla not take this into consideration?

Will they change this in future versions?

Is there a work around (no config changes seem to work or chrome changes)
