Steps to reproduce- (1) Enable 'accessibility.blockautorefresh' in 'about:config' (This is said to ask for permission before redirecting) (2) Go here (3) End up here without permission

Extensions I'm using- Privacy Badger, uBlock origin, clearURLs and Show/hide passwords

Another question, does enabling this setting also stop internal redirection?

I used Firefox almost since its inception. But I stopped using it when one of my games on Facebook kept asking to upgrade flash player in order to play. I know that flash player is no more and the problem likely lies with the game but I can play the game on every other browser without that message so finally I stopped using Firefox. Is there a setting I can use so that I can go back to my favorite browser and play my game with it also?

Your Computer Clock is Wrong

Your computer thinks it is Jan 8, 2025, which prevents Firefox from connecting securely. To visit r8---sn-1vob-aixe.googlevideo.com, update your computer clock in your system settings to the current date, time, and time zone, and then refresh r8---sn-1vob-aixe.googlevideo.com.

Is there a way to temporary bypass updates warnings for the sake of other people's privacy?

Hello,

So, I got the "Restart to keep using Firefox message" while working to make sure that certain HIPPA protected data. I cannot close out of the browser because I am in an incognito window.

Is there a way to pause the message or can I only prevent it by disabling automatic updates?

P.S. So I work in the very sensitive part of Data Engineering e911 that deals with medical patient reports that given ONLY to the doctor at the hospital when the fire department drops you off at a Hospital. Because of extremely sensitive nature some of the specific report fields, I am not longer legally allowed (by HIPPA as old as the law is) to use browsers like chrome. So, I have to use browser like Firefox that are still in compliance. I want Firefox to update, but I want to choose when it updates (on the first weekend when there is a national fire or storm disaster happening... which technically will be this first Saturday since the update on the 15th).

You haven't provided an off switch for this "thumbnail preview image of the webpage" on my taskbar? I don't want anything dropping down from my task bar on hovering over it.

This is a new thing, that Firefox for some reason thought was a good idea. Mouse hovering on my taskbar, and have a drop down thumbnail preview image of the webpage?


Thank you all in advance...  :)

After accidentally closing firefox I could not restore my last session after going to. history because the restotre tab was not there. Only recently closed tabs and recently closed windows and search history was there. I also had the box sent in setting to restore last session but it did not do that either. Am I missing something. Sorting through all the history would take quite a bit of time. I am on a macbook with sequoia ios.

Thanks

I was using DuckDuckGo and it failed a connection, now trying to switch to Firefox as my browser. I still get confused about browsers and search engines, but I want to be able to connect to a website that did not function with DuckDuckGo, all of a sudden and for no reason I could figure out. I have Microsoft 365 Windows 11 (I think) on 1 laptop and Windows 10 on another laptop; I am trying to use the newer laptop with Windows 11 but not totally switched over.
