I am getting notifications with the Mozilla logo or sometimes with McAfee logo saying "5 Viruses found, your computer is unstable" and various other warnings. They all also say "via qltuh.titanicooler.top" I have attached a picture.

I have closed the browser, I tried clearing my cache, I have scanned using both AVG, AVAST, F-Secure Online Scanner, and Microsoft Safet Scanner. I am not quite sure what else I should do.

Thank You

Firefox is notoriously adept when it comes to browser/user protection, (THANK YOU!!!!!!!!). Are there any plans to include protection against homograph/homoglyph attacks please? I think the simplest way would be to just search the URL for any characters that are not part of the current/usual typeset?

Hi Firefox is not showing Accept the risk and continue-button when advance button is clicked. Due to this i am not able to access server. Image is attached for reference.

Using 96.0.2 (64-bit) on Window 10.

I am unable to livestream video services from a monastery in the UK. I have clicked into the little shield at the left end of the web address bar in order to turn off the enhanced protection, but this does not have any effect, even though the website shows up as having had the protection disabled. I don't know whether I need to do anything in Firefox settings.

I was advised to use Google Chrome, and that browser does let me enter, but I prefer to stay with Firefox for all my browsing. I am an elderly person, and have to work harder than my children and grandchildren to keep up-to-date. If you could help me with some very clear instructions with the minumum of technical jargon I would be most grateful. I submit below a screenshot of what I see on the site despite the protection having been switched off on the little shield.

I don't know why, it is NOT Ancestry, as I can sign in to it on other browsers. I get this error message below.

Access Denied Error 21 What happened? This request was blocked by security rules. Your IP: 73.94.12.65 Incident ID: 6eae587fcef92d46

I have no idea what security rules, but I am working on a genealogy project and have never had a problem signing into Ancestry in multiple tabs before today. How do I fix this? Besides getting rid of Firefox, I mean. I have the same security extensions on this browser as I use on Vivaldi, Brave and Chrome - I avoid Chrome, but use Vivaldi and Brave regularly, along with Firefox.

In China (Mainland) the Firefox Now showing both Associate Press and Russian sputnik concerning Ukraine as "Deceptive Site" (e.g. https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-putin-europe-nato-49abe49e9b35833a385fe10db802dc5a). So I have 2 questions.

1 Who is responsible for the collection of Deceptive Site in China (for those who don't know, Chinese Firefox is run and supported by "Beijing Zhimou firefox", not mozilla) 2, and more importently. what information would it need to be sent to use the "Deceptive Site" function (or more sepsifictly, is firefox sending what sites I visit to its partner? and if yes what, and who)

Hello,

From the version 89... we have a non solutioned problem with Firefox... In Belgium, we use a "electronic Identification card" to access differents officials web site. but with Firefox I (We!!!) have a problem... the identification process loop with a message "Please insert the smart card" ??? After I receive the message: "Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to certif.iamfas.belgium.be. A PKCS #11 module returned CKR_GENERAL_ERROR, indicating that an unrecoverable error has occurred.

Error code: SEC_ERROR_PKCS11_GENERAL_ERROR"

I restart, I reinstall FF, I reinstall the eID software... no way!!! But it's work fine with Chrome, Edge,... Why not with Firefox 98.0.2 ?!? It's very important to find a solution for the belgian users, without this support, the users go to Chrome, Edge,... Have a nice day, Philippe

Is there any way to use different search engines in different multi-account containers? I know it is quite the niche use case, but I'm still curious if there is some sort of way. I would like to generally use DuckDuckGo, but my school blocks it, forcing me to use google. Is there a way I could set just the school container to use google? Thanks!

A website MultiSafepay.com has saved my CVV number in Firefox.

How do I edit the autofill data?

I can't get to the same payment page, to be in a position to delete it.

Most links on this matter refer to:

 Options => Privacy & Security => Forms and Autofill

However in my Version: Firefox 98.0.1 (64 bit) running on an up to date Windows 10 this feature is missing or deprecated.

Can anyone say how I could edit/delete this specific entry, or point me in the direction of where this data is stored?

In the mean time I can't recommend using Firefox for entering critical security data, where websites can allow the storage of CVV numbers.

Hi all :)

From a fresh Linux Debian Bullseye I try to connect to a local machine with Firefox (v97 64-bits) by its hostname (avahi server with default domain "local") with the port 6180 bound to a remote web service port (61 is the distant machine IP and 80 is the forwarded port).

When I want to open this URL : http://bionic.local:6180/ FF displays "We can't find this site ... Unable to connect to server at bionic.local ... check your network connection and firewall"

BUT ping bionic.local works perfectly and resolve the good IP address from the Chromium navigator the same URL works without a problem, I can open the distant web site.

This workaround works : add a static resolution in the /etc/hosts file : 192.168.0.71 bionic bionic.local => so FF works in the expected way for now ! But as I said this a workaround and a bad solution.

I supposed too the port was blocked because I accessed an unusual port. So I tried this without success.

How the hell make that FF v97 allows me to use an unusual port ? Or is it bound to the domain "local" which is no more accepted by FF ?

Thank you in advance for your help. With adelphity, lnj

Thank you in advance for your help! Background: I use FB container, do not have a FB account (although did several years ago), and have other privacy add-ons through Mozilla. I have 'high' security settings. Issue: When I am asked to create an account using an email address - the FB container pops up and indicates that if I use my 'real' email address (I have a few on different services) - FB can track me. Note that FB container does not pop up when using other sites where email accounts are required. Question(s): Can FB track me even though I don't have a FB account? Even if I use an email alias - am I still protected from FB?

I looked at Relay - but it looks like it needs access to your computer and complicated.

Thanks again. You are a great team of folks who volunteer.
