Firefox Community Forum

hi, I assumed that I am allowed to use your latest version of Firefox browser at my work but have received company's email (not spam) today:

<<Please note you’ve been detected as being the user of a device running the Firefox browser. There have recently been critical vulnerabilities announced, and all versions of this software must be removed or updated to remediate these.

Please note Firefox is not "_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ " approved software (both Edge and Chrome are supplied as standard), and unless there is a critical business reason (i.e. developing software that has to be tested on the Firefox browser) the software must be removed. The vulnerabilities in this software are of the highest severity, and if not remediated, devices will be isolated from the corporate network for protective purposes. If you require assistance removing, or updating this software please contact the IT Service Desk. Regards, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _>> I don't like and never did using Edge or Chrome but now it seems I have no choice, unless Firefox improves its security critical vulnerabilities. Could you advise please if you have any alternative solution for me, and many others like me, or maybe there is more secured or light versions of Firefox available.

Kind Regards tank_t54@tuta.io

I’ve been using Firefox on my Mac without any issues, but I recently had to erase and reset my Mac. After reinstalling Firefox and attempting to sign in to my account, I am unable to sync my data.

When I click “Sign in” and enter my password, I successfully log in. However, it immediately returns to the message “Please sign in to reconnect,” and I am unable to proceed with syncing.

This is the first time I’ve encountered this issue.

On a positive note, I can still see my organized bookmarks on Firefox for iPhone, which were synced from my Mac before the reset.

I felt forced to update bc of the recent RCE. And what do you know, all sorts of unnecessary crud has been added that I've now had to turn off. But I can't figure out how to turn off the Firefox-specific notifications. NOT WEBSITES. There's nothing in settings under "notification" or "tracker" and it's wholly unnecessary. There is 0 need to to pop a flashing orange desktop notification for tracker statistics. Like this is not important info, nor is it a crisis that requires a notification.

This issue is new and I have never experienced it before. Upon trying to open anything in a new tab, firefox gets completely stuck loading the site, and when refreshed, does the tab becomes "dead" and nothing can be entered or clicked on, even after minutes. I know it is not my internet connection, as other browsers such as opera and edge work, as well as my ability to download games from steam, and firefox is also up to date as shown by the settings page, but firefox does not allow anything to be opened or viewed other than the settings page, which I used to navigate to the support page. I could not even use "continue with google" as a method of signing in and needed to manually enter everything.

I am having increasingly frequent cases when Mozilla impedes the correct operations of final actions such as 'submit', 'enter' 'place order' etc. On such occasions, applying the cursor has a minimal effect on the relevant Click Button. I have also had trouble with its proper interaction with Roboform. The latter have tried to provide me with solutions but none have worked so far. I am now in the middle of establishing a separate Profile for Roboform. Surely, all this should not be happening. It certainly does not with Microsoft Edge, which I have had to use in such occasions. It feels as if there is a barrier around Mozilla preventing correct interaction with other bodies. Please help.

I need to know (in layman's language) how to fix the sight connection problem. For example: I try to connect to Google.ca. Firefox comes back saying this site is not secure. Use HTTPS. This is where it is so confusing. I am sure that the Google site is a secure sight. So why does Firefox keeps rejecting me. It can become very frustrating really.

Thank you.

ps. I am willing to read and learn

I recently got a new computer, Apple iMac. I'm trying to transfer all my bookmarks I have on my older HP computer to the newer computer Apple. I downloaded the Firefox browser to the iMac. I see where there is a link to transfer bookmarks when I loaded the browser. But, when I click on the link, nothing really happens? There is no transfer of my bookmarks for my old computer to the newer computer. My OS with my older HP was Windows 7. My OS with my acquired Apple is Monterey. Can someone be of help with transferring bookmarks from one computer to another? I have many bookmarks so it would be very helpful to be able to make that transfer. Thank you.

Recently, when I try to log into my amazon account, when I get to the password prompt, a window pops up from Defender saying firefox asked it to request a PIN. I close this window and proceed with any problem. How can I stop this annoying, useless action?

message says Firefox can't find server when I am trying to log into my .local site.

Here is message: If you entered the right address, you can:

   Try again later
   Check your network connection
   Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall)

Today, something has changed in my Firefox browser. When I click on a link in my gmail inbox, it opens a new tab, as would be expected. But, the browser commits a google search to that link... this breaks the link! I have turned off Google as the default browser in settings, but still no luck.

Example: Link in gmail: https://accounts.firefox.com Link created in new browser tab: https://www.google.com/url?q=https://accounts.firefox.com

I recently began having trouble logging into a retail web site that I have had an online account with for several years with no problems. One day, when I tried to log-in from the site's main page, I got nothing but a white screen with the following message:

Bad Request Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. Size of a request header field exceeds server limit.

I tried the usual fixes: reboot my computer, re-set my password, etc. It called the site's tech support and they were mystified. They ended up deleting my account and sending me a special one-time activation code to set up a new account. But when I tried to set up a new account, I once again got the "Bad Request" message. I'm beginning to think it's a browser problem, but I can't say for sure. Any suggestions?

I should note that all of my other online logins are still working fine, and that I have made no recent changes in my computer hardware (I use a desktop) or peripherals. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated!

Nothing returns to my screen when I search via duckduckgo. If i enter google.com, bringing up google search, google works fine. I can to to the duckduckgo.com website. As mentioned in the subject, duckduckgo is my only defined search option.

Hello This morning, Firefox would not open via the desk top short cut. Choose the open via 'run as an Administrator'. Nothing.

Although I had cleaned cache etc the night before I cleaned it all again with Ccleaner.

Shut down the computer and restart.

Firefox did open, the menu bar shows but.... All Bookmark pages I tried to open are blank, white screens.

I am on Goggle now in order to connect. Appreciate your help

Is there any way of Firefox Blocking these infernal pieces of Microsoft Garbage from loading into Memory? Edge the drayhorse i suspect keeps loading them?

The Taskbar turn-off option i have read on forums is primary shool it doesn't do anything.

Is there no way you can block this Rubbish from loading? without having to go to the regedit? I suspect the next windows update will undo stuff like that anyway.

Why does Microsoft do this? Will they ever learn that they should be serving their users.

I suspect not, just a thought and another star for firefox?

When viewing pdfs sometimes it adds a white border around the pages and doesn't scaled the image correctly. Zooming in or out changes how big the borders are and the positions. Tried a few other pdf programs and none of them had trouble displaying the pdfs as intended.
