Firefox Support Forum

I get a "Potential Security Risk" warning when trying to access a Spanish government website in order to download a digital signature (which is required for all interaction with government agencies, etc.) From what I've read, Firefox is blocking this site and there is no way to override this. Is that true? If this is the case, (although I have used Firefox forever) would it be advisable to switch to Chrome or some other browser? It is essential to be able to access this site. Thanks so much for help with this!

I had to reinstall windows 10 (this was done by Microsoft with my permission) and so firefox was uninstalled (long with all apps). i have reinstalled Firefox, but can't retrieve my old bookmarks. I have a file of very old bookmarks, but the "import/restore" function doesn't restore or import using that file. Help please. Can the up to date bookmarks be retrieved from my uninstalled Firefox?

One of the foreign website I need to visit seems to work only with ASCII chars on its URL, even though the website itself will request URLs with foreign characters!

Is there a work around?

Hi,

Firefox issues warning while accessing websites which are signed by Internal CAs. However, we could see the same website working fine with Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, etc.

Firefox work fine while accessing websites which are signed by Public CAs. The issue is only with websites signed with internal / Private CAs.

Below is the error message:

Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to "XXXX.XXXXX.com". If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.

What can you do about it?

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it.

If you are on a corporate network or using antivirus software, you can reach out to the support teams for assistance. You can also notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

I have vision issues. I would appreciate that an outline of the empty check boxes in your FireFox settings was made available. I cannot tell at a glance what the configurable options are at a glance.

I don't like Firefox videos showing up in my media player controls, so I turned off media.hardwarekeys.enabled, but it doesn't seem to do anything anymore. I'm pretty sure it used to work at some point, don't know when it stopped working. Even though I have it turned off, videos still appears in the Media Player on my panel, and I can play and pause them with the play/pause button on my keyboard. I have also tried disabling dom.media.mediasession.enabled, but that doesn't help either.

Hi Support team,

I been using Fire Fox for a long time. I upgraded to two step authentication with the ten code numbers. But every time Fire Fox System keeps asking me for an authentication code to pair iPhone to desktop. I tried all the apps but I don't how to obtain the code from those app.

Can you please explain/guide me how to find this code or the app I need to use.

Thank you for your time.

So I have Firefox set to open a certain set of pages each time I open the browser. It does that, however, it's not the latest version of the page therefore I have to manually reload the tab to get to the latest version. This is a pain in the ass. Chrome dynamically refreshes pages each time you open the browser. Is there a setting somewhere I'm missing or is this just how it's going to be?

I'm having a problem using my bank website with Firefox - I get a message when I move from one page to another, and that message closes the bank website - Here is the message: "Bad Request Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. Size of a request header field exceeds server limit." It is very important to me to be able to view my accounts and investments daily - please help me solve this!

With my last version of firefox I was able to right click and select take a screenshot. However, the item is now missing from the context menu? I am unable to bring back the feature or find it in the customize toolbar items either?

Dear Anyone

You'll laugh like drains. I've got PagePlus 9 which lets you design .PDFs with fillable fields in, the idea BEING I could send out a form which anyone could fill in in their browser without having to understand word-processing. Looked great in PagePlus 9, loaded it into Firefox and it sucked royally - fields and data all over the show. Back to the drawing board. Nearly 5 hours and countless revisions later, it still sucked royally in Firefox.

Then I tried it in Chrome, Edge, Hola and CCBrowser and it worked like an absolute dream. Displayed perfectly. Let you enter data perfectly. Put it back into Firefox and it immediately sucked blue whales through thin straws again. So it's GOT to be a hewge bug with Firefox and .PDFs. Anyone know what it is and how to handle it?

In retrospect, I, too, find it Pretty Darned Funny that I didn't think of testing it in another browser before spending 5 hours on the thing! But if it's a Firefox and PDF bug, why's nobody spotted it in Developerland? That's the bit I don't get really. (If they HAD, surely they'd've just opened up the inner workings of another browser, learned what they were doing wrong and used what they'd learned?)

Can reload it and take screenshots if requested.

Yours puzzledly

Chris.

I need some help with figuring out why when I switch from windowed mode to fullscreen mode my theme breaks. First image is how it should look and how it normally looks while I have a small window open and it isnt stretched. Second picture is what it looks like when I stretch it out or go fullscreen mode. I was wondering is there a way I can fix it myself or can it only be done by the author?

I sign into Xfinity email using this: https://connect.xfinity.com/appsuite/#!!&app=io.ox/mail&folder=default0/INBOX I get a jumble of data but only one of four mailboxes. Microsoft Edge shows ok. Xfinity installed a new mail process from a company called OX.IO Thanks for your help

When I go to youtube.com in firefox it redirects me to https://secure.winred.com/save-america-joint-fundraising-committee/google031723/?utm_medium=ad&utm_source=ci_d_google&utm_content=kw002_na&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIx7rq04KK_wIV4-jjBx34MgztEAAYASAAEgKXMfD_BwE&exitintent=true. This only happens in firefox, not chrome or edge. How can I prevent this from happening?
