I am trying to manage Firefox browser for our users with MDM. On doing so, I can't able to get expected output on blocking the camera access for certain websites with the following OMA-URI.

./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/Firefox~Policy~firefox~Permissions~Camera/Camera_Block

I can add websites in allow section and even lock the setting so that the users can't change. But facing issues with blocking camera access.

Is there any place where I can see the log if there are any error encountering by any chance? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I confirmed this problem on two separate computers(windows 7 and windows 11) and version 115.23.0 of Firefox ESR can not properly play streams on twitch.tv

Audio will play, but the video does not load with only a black screen with question mark icon replacing video feed.

I need assistance with updating an old version of Firefox installed in the local AppData folder on our users' machines. We currently use Intune for application management, but I'm unsure how to remove the user-based installation and revert to a system installation without losing bookmarks.

Could you please provide guidance on how to:

1. Numbered list item Force update Firefox to the latest version while keeping user data intact.

2. Remove the user-installed version of Firefox using Intune.

3. Ensure that bookmarks are preserved during the update process.

Thank you for your help!

Добрый день Есть ли возможность установить плагин .xpi в mozilla через cmd. AltLinux. Конечно я уже прочел статьи существующие. Не сработали рекомендации. Можно ли сделать вывод что Firefox 128.0 ESR не поддерживает установку плагинов через cmd? Если да, то можем ли мы сослаться на официальный ответ firefox ? Благодарю за рекомендации.

We have an application running on Firefox and noticed that with new Firefox ESR, Ajax call (XMLHttpRequest ) from js script running on Firefox browser on thin clients seems to be blocked frequently (same call succeed most of the time, but blocked from time to time). Issue was raised starting with Firefox 128.2.0esr), but in general persist with newer Firefox ESR. We tried replacing XMLHttpRequest with fetch which seems making no much difference so far.

Hello,

I would like to create Managed Bookmarks for our company and distribute them via Group Policy. However, I am unable to create subfolders for these Managed Bookmarks, so they would all be in one folder and quite disorganized, which is why I need subfolders. Can I map this using a JSON file, and if so, could someone assist me with the structure of the JSON file?

Thank you in advance!

Kind regards

I am going to deploy Firefox ESR in an environment where the default topsites provided by the top-sites.json included in omni.ja (namely Wikipedia, youtube and reddit) are not desirable, and I want to provide my own. I cannot find a way to do so.

Setting the browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.default.sites preference through the policies.json file does not work (the pref gets loaded but it does not influence the actual default topsites, which is not surprising since the default value of this pref has nothing to do with the actual default topsites).

Note that I am not seeking to remove the topsites from the homepage entirely (as would be achieved through the FirefoxHome/TopSites policy), I want to change the default ones.

I tried creating my own top-sites.json in /lib/firefox-esr/browser/ where omni.ja resides, but to no avail.

Hi, we use Firefox 128.9.0esr (64bit) on about 6000 workstations. We redirect the stored bookmarks on a personal network drive for each user. For that we use these settings via Windows group policy:

browser.bookmarks.file = P:\Firefox\Bookmarks browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML = true browser.places.importBookmarksHTML = true

For some time the automatic export/import with that settings above does not work any more. When I close Firefox on workstation A, the bookmarks seem to be exported correctly in that export-file (check the file via editor). But when I use another workstation B an start Firefox, the exported file does not import on startup. But this worked fine in the past.

I found out, that the switch "browser.places.importBookmarksHTML" is obviously automtically set to false when I have startet Firefox (checking with about:config). I dont know if it is correct.

Any suggestions? Maybe it's a new bug?

Thanks Malte

Dear Community,

i had .cfg file with following settings to clean up some userdata after closing firefox:

//Clean UP Cache etc. lockPref("privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown", true); lockPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.cache", true); lockPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.cookies", false); lockPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.offlineApps", true); lockPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.sessions", false);

This cleaned the "Storage" Folder in the Firefox Profile folder, but cookies and sessions where remaining, so the logins where active.

Now i saw that all useres have lots of folders in the "Storage/Default" folder. After some research i found out that this behavior startet at 02.10.2024.

I also found a new pref: privacy.clearOnShutdown_v2.cookiesAndStorage which was set to "false". No idea where this key came from? When I set this key to "Yes", the storage is cleared after closing Firefox. But so also all the cookies. Was there a change at the prefs?

And is ther any other solution to clear the Storage but remain the cookies?

Thank you in advance!

These 2 extensions just installed themselves in Firefox ESR and disabled ALL my current extensions!!? I can't seem to remove them either.. please help!

I'm running Parrot OS (Linux) and had just signed myself in @hackthebox.com , which is a friendly place where people can learn to develop their cybersecurity skills. security on this site should be great, i don't know if this could be the issue...

Thanks in regards!

Hello,

For enterprise solutions, for our browser extension can we disable the switch button where user can turn-off the "Access your data for all websites"?

This can be informed to the end user and also approved by the IT admins.

But the option to disable at runtime on the fly needs to be disabled.

When a user logs onto the PC, FF creates the Task scheduler folder but not the task inside. This only get created once the user opens FF for the first time.

So as an admin how would I manage the updates for FF when the user never opens Firefox?
