Hello,

We have set a fixed proxy in Firefox on our employees' notebooks. However, when the notebooks do not have a VPN connection to our network, the proxy cannot be reached. Firefox then disables the proxy after a short time. I found the setting network.proxy.failover_direct under about:config and thought that setting it to false would solve the problem. However, Firefox behaves the same way.

How can I prevent Firefox from accessing the internet except through the specified proxy?

Thank you.

I searched this question in your "support" section It has been asked many times but no answer has been given. In addition the community forum site itself says that 0, 1 or 2 people have this problem when there are many more posts about exactly this problem. Google doesn't seem to be happy about my using Firefox as my browser and now send me directly to their page on cleaning up cookies, etc. When I go to settings in Firefox I get the "Your browser is being managed by your organization" message, but just like the many others who have commented in the community forum, I don't have an organization to manage my browser and I can't even seem to find out what organization Firefox thinks is managing my browser. How do I regain control of my Firefox?

Hi, my account seems to have some kind of admin or enterprise control on it, but I'm not part of an organization. It says:

Information Your browser is being managed by your organization.

I don't know how to fix this, but it is keeping me from updating and doing other things like clearing cache and adjusting my settings.

How can I fix this?

I don't know how it happened.

Thank you

My account is personal. Why is there a notification saying that it is being managed by my institution? I have been retired for almost four years, and have been able to use Mozilla Firefox without any problems until this morning. I have been using Mozilla Firefox long before I started working with my last employer.

I was wondering if there any option to make my savings more structured, here is an example what i mean: all my downloads are saved in "\Downloads" or i can select it EVERYTIME i download ANYTHING from ANYWHERE, this sucks and i want it to be like this: "\Downloads\web.url\" so it gonna be like: "\Download\youtube.com\" or "\Downloads\gtihub.com\" and i want to have an option to define custom folders for each website, for example for github.com i want set this path: "E:\github-dl\", in my case, E: is my external hard drive. This solution will make user downloading experience much better and our filesystem will say thank to you! I hope you got my idea, i tried to search any extension in your shop, and chrome market but i didn't find any luck, so im asking you directly. I also never saw this kind of feature in any other browser so you could be the ever first one:)

Subject: Clarification on Adding Username and Password to Proxy Settings

Dear Firefox Support Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to seek clarification regarding the configuration of proxy settings in Firefox. Specifically, I would like to understand how to include a username and password along with the IP and port address when configuring a proxy server.

Currently, I can enter the IP and port address in the network settings, but I am unsure how to include authentication details, such as a username and password, for proxies that require them. Is this feature natively supported in Firefox, and if so, could you please guide me through the steps to set it up?

Thank you for your assistance, and I look forward to your response.

Best regards, Emmanuel

In the "General" section of my Firefox Settings, it states that "Your browser is being managed by your organization."

When I click on that, it shows the word "Certificates" under Policy Name, and "ImportEnterpriseRoots" under Policy Value.

Is this something that Firefox installed, or is it something a third-party (like my former company) installed on my computer.

Also, would this possibly slow down my computer?

Thanks for your feedback.
