I am an administrator at a university and we use Blackboard and Zoom as a couple of the tools at our university. We install Firefox on all of our PCs across campus. After a recent update, when our instructors try to launch Zoom using the integration setup in Blackboard, the meeting fails to launch. We have found that disabling Enhanced Protection fixes this issue. Is there a way to add this exception to an install file that can be sent across many PCs on our campus? We have hundreds of PCs and going from one to another to install this exception would not be practical.

Do you have any suggestions? Justin

Hi,

I've been tasked to make some changes to the way users deal with logins and passwords in the office. So, in short, one of the issues is this: is there ANY way to disable (I'd say "hide" is more accurate) the about:logins page on Firefox?

  • pref.privacy.disable_button.view_passwords (with a lock pref) in autoconfig only disables the "View saved logins" button in Settings.

As for policies:

  • a few policies for blocking about: pages do exist - BlockAboutAddons/Config/Profiles/Support, but can't find one, say, "BlockAboutLogins" or something like that.
  • PasswordManagerEnabled set to false disables the password manager completely, including about:logins, password autofill is disabled as well - not what I need.
  • WebsiteFilter, as expected, doesn't treat about: as a protocol, so it can't be done there either.


Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Automatic redirect in pac files doesn't work

Hello,

I have a problem with a pac file in our org. We download it from a server. The basic functionality is applied and it does redirect the desired traffic to the proxy. The problem occurs when the proxy goes down, it then should automaticaly start making direct connections, but the connections fail. We want to proxy only http and https and event that with some exceptions.

It was done according to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Proxy_servers_and_tunneling/Proxy_Auto-Configuration_PAC_file#example_6

Is there any problem with PAC file or does the browser have issues with the config?

Thanks for any help.

function FindProxyForURL(url, host) {

   /* Our proxy list */
   OURPROXY = "PROXY 172.22.59.X:3128; DIRECT"
   INOUR = "ourgroup.internal"
   /* Normalize the URL and HOST for pattern matching */
   url = url.toLowerCase();
   host = host.toLowerCase();
   /* Our Network Entry */
   if (isResolvable(INOUR)) {
       /* Don't proxy local services */
       if (isInNet(host, "10.0.0.0", "255.0.0.0")
       ) {
           return "DIRECT";
       }
       /* Proxy only http & https */
       if (url.substring(0, 5) == "http:" || url.substring(0, 6) == "https:") {
           /* Don't proxy local hostnames (without dots) */
           if (isPlainHostName(host)) {
               return "DIRECT";
           }
           /* END: Don't proxy local hostnames */
           /* START: Internal systems */
           if (shExpMatch(host, "*.example.com") ||
               shExpMatch(host, "example.com") ||
               /* END: Internal systems */
               /* START: Split VPN tunnel */
               shExpMatch(host, "*.example2.com") ||
               shExpMatch(host, "example2.com") ||
               /* END: Split VPN tunnel */
           ) {
               return "DIRECT";
           }
           /* END: Don't proxy to internal systems */
           return OURPROXY;
       } else {
         return "DIRECT";
       }
       /* END: Proxy only http & https */
   } else {
     return "DIRECT";
   }
   /* END: Our Network Entry */
   return "DIRECT";

Hi,

I'm blocked because for my company i have to make a GPO that will setup the default handler for pdf files. I picked up different codes on internet but it went the same way for all of them, it didn't work. Im pretty sure that's not a GPO application issue because actually all the others setings are working perfectly.

The json code was paste on the Handlers settings as u can see in the attachement.

Hopefully that i will find help there.

Cordially.

OCSP validation failing.

Hi, Background: a few months ago I had to redeploy the CA for a network I manage. I was able to do so and publish the new intermediate CA's cert via Active Directory. Since then, I've updated certs on webhosts with certs from the new CA. Whenever a user uses FF (version 91.12.0) to browse to a site with the newly signed cert, I get an error stating "sec_error_ocsp_old". I've been able to temporarily advise users to disable OCSP Validation in FF security settings, but I'd REALLY like to fix this.

Other browsers (Edge, Chrome, Opera) all load the sites without issue.

Using this the below article, I double checked the time settings on the CA, Webserver, and clients: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-time-errors-secure-websites

All the machines/VMs in question show the same time source, time, time zone, and sync interval.

I'm at a loss for what is happening. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Some users in my organization have been complaining about FireFox location protection since the update to 103.0.2. We would like an option to completely disable this "feature". Our users are complaining about having to individually make exceptions via the shield icon and selecting custom and unchecking all boxes does not work for our use case scenario. Is there any option to disable this completely or are there plans in future releases to allow us a disable feature (like you used to have) or is the only solution to switch our users to Chrome? Thanks
