Firefox Support Forum

Newer release of Firefox auto-fill username and password when they should not. I have a web application that has a list of people. Optionally (form is even hidden requiring a click to see) a person can be a user (rare). My username and password are auto filled in ALWAYS now for the person (even when the form is not showing). Can I just change the field names (username, password) in the jsp and have Firefox NOT fill mine in automagically? Or if not, how do I tell the browser that these are normal fields - leave them alone PLEASE (do not auto-fill)?

Firefox allows the show password option in the firefox password manager This is an extremely dangerous situation as it gives someone access to all your passwords if they have your windows login and your Firefox password is saved in Windows.

This means that if you save your Firefox password to Windows, and someone gets access to your PC, they can get a copy and read of all of your account names and account passwords in the Firefox password manager.

Access opporrunities for example are a technical support person working on your windows account.

A security update should change this to encrypt stired passwords and remove the show password option in the Firefox Password Manager.

Hello, only Firefox is blocking this website for me. I wanted to get away from Chrome but I may have to go back if this can't be fixed. The website is https://rotary.vsgdover.com/ How can I just add an exception to make this site load? I really don't want to go back to bloated Chrome just for one silly website.

I went to clear my recent history, but it will not do so. Then I went to Menu, Settings, Privacy and Security, Cookies and Site Data, Clear Data. No change. I tried do a Refresh installation. No change. I exported my bookmarks to my hard drive, and uninstalled Firefox. I downloaded a fresh install of Firefox, and installed it. ALL MY BOOKMARKS AND SETTINGS ARE STILL THERE!! Still won't allow me to clear History. Whatever happened, happened less than 24 hours ago, going by the websites showing in Recent History. Can you advise me?

Hello, I have been using the app/extension Grammarly on various platforms. I added an extension for it on Firefox, but it appears that Firefox is leary of this extension. How should I proceed?

I'm an old Firefox user. Thank you for excellent Browser!

However, I've seen some bad things in Firefox 89, so I'll report it. After upgrading Firefox to 89, access from behind the proxy no longer reaches all addresses beyond the firewall. I noticed that the page opens correctly when I play around with the settings, which is related to the HTTPS-Only Mode and Automatic proxy configuration URL settings. I specify the address of "http:" in the Automatic proxy configuration URL. In that case, if HTTP-Only Mode is ON, it seems that the proxy configuration file cannot be read correctly. When I turned off HTTP-Only Mode and reloaded again, the page was displayed correctly. Alternatively, I can give up the specification in the Automatic proxy configuration URL and switch to the manual specification. That said, before 89, all settings were displayed correctly, so I think it was a trigger for the change in 89. Is there anything you can think of? Is such a phenomenon happening in other people?

Firefox does not connect to "google.de" or "amazon.de" do to "HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)". First I cleaned the "Firefox" (about:config). Then I deinstalled and reinstalled it. No change in behavior. I started with an empty "SiteSecurityServiceState.txt" Anyway still no connection possible to "google.de" or "amazon.de". I would be glad if anyone could help me.

BS is WIN10 Version 20H2 (Version 21H1 could not be loaded yet --> mistake while installing. I am still waiting for a solution to this problem via MS)

Sorry for my humble English.

I've accidentally blocked notifications on a website that I cannot use without its notifications. There doesn't seem to be any way to undo this in the notifications settings, and I'm at a loss.

My bank (cibc.com) has recently started randomly sending a code which hs to be entered to login. The problem is it happens to me every single logon, even if I logon, enter the sent code, logoff then immediately logon on again. I have disabled tracking protection for the site ( the shield icon) but no change. I only use ublock origin and have disabled it for my banking site. But there is no change. Every logon the bank insists on sending a code to allow a logon.

I am at my wits end and about to start using Chrome to see if that works.

Some websites have this text box under their articles to write a comment and post it on Facebook (see the screenshot). But for that to happen, first you must login to your Facebook account. The problem is that when I click the button "login to post", nothing happens - as if I didn't click it at all. I suspect the reason for that are the integrated anti-tracking options in Firefox 89. So the question is: how do I get this plugin to work in Firefox 89?

P.S. Until a month ago I was temporarily using Chromium as default browser and there the FB plugin had no issues. Chromium has no anti-tracking options which is why I think this function in Firefox is the reason for the FB plugin not to work.

I connect to Zoom (or any other site that wants permission to use my mic, my camera, my files) and a permission popup appears - Site xyz wants to use abc, Deny/Allow (buttons) and a ckbox remember this. I click remember and click Allow - nothing, popup still there - click clickclick @$!#! CLICK! nothing. OK, Deny, click - nope, don't remember Allow nope. And here I sit with 10% of my screen with this permission popup that won't go away. FF 88.0.1, FC32, Lenovo laptop

I'm getting the below message on certain websites (www.planetf1.com for example), when trying to view comments. I've got uBlock Origin and Dark Reader installed, but disabling uBlock doesn't seem to fix the issue.

Anyone know how I can allow this? Also is it a massive security issue if I do allow it?

It seems that you have rejected Vuukle from accessing your browser storage through Consent Management Platform. Please enable Vuukle from your Consent Management Platform partner list for smooth functioning of the platform.

On major updates to Firefox you sometimes get a one time message about some new feature, etc. When you respond it does not come up again. I do not want to get any one time messages after an update. Is there some option besides 'kiosk' mode to accomplish this?

Thank you

Have recently uninstalled SSL certificate for domain marycliff.co.uk which now points to clifford-evans.com via masked web forwarding. However hard I try and test this forwarding in Firefox, it always converts the URL to https which invalidates the web forwarding process as clifford-evans.com already has SSL.

I have reinstalled Firefox and disabled HTTPS-Only Mode in Privacy and Security, but the https still appears for marycliff.co.uk and I can't see the web forwarding because a notice appears "Secure Connection failed". Firefox is seeing an SSL certificate which in fact no longer exists.

The web forwarding works perfectly in Chrome, Edge Safari and Android Can anyone help please? Best wishes, Clifford

Recently, I switched from using Windows to using Mac. While on Windows restoring previous session, for some reason, it never works on Mac. The setting is 100% saved - I checked Firefox js file, but it still doesn't restore it. Is there anything I can do? I really don't want to switch to another browser.

Hi,

we have 2 computers , both Win7 and Firefox 64b up-to date Both FireFox are configured on the same way but one is displaying sponsored contents on websites (as exemple news paper ou TV guide), and not the other. This does not concerne FF main page. On the concerned computer adds are displayed between the text.

In many articles a Firefox Add-On named "Better Privacy" is mentioned agains super cookies. However I cannot find this Add-On when I search in the Firefox Add-Ons. Doesn't it exist anymore? Has it been renamed? If so, into what? If not, what? Thanks for your help
