OK - I must be missing something. On my previous browser, Opera, if I wanted to see details of my passwords then I needed to put in the computer password, so keeping them quite secure. However, Firefox seems to let anyone using the browser to access the full details of all my passwords, even offering to copy them! This has to be the most insecure approach possible - surely this can't be correct, can it?

I am using apache tomcat web server at 127.0.0.1 If I access Windows r %mis_int% it is opening https://127.0.0.1/postofficeinterest.html However it is displaying the warning: Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead To resolve this error I used to perform following action: Tools => Settings => Search Trust => Click View Certificates => Add exception => provide https://127.0.0.1/postofficeinterest.html Click Get cerfiicate Click Confirm security exception Press Ok Refresh https://127.0.0.1/postofficeinterest.html This is displaying updated page at local host. However I am having clogall shell script inside bash.exe (putty.exe) at localhost This used to clear all cache and files at /tmp and $TEMP directories at windows and cygwin. Due to this if I open %mis_int% again it is reporting same security warning. clog actions: 1. cd /cygdrive/c/Users/MURUGE~1/AppData/Local/MICROS~1/Edge/USERDA~1/Default/Sessions Remove all https...microsoft all wastage of memories Remove all cookies at banking/post office session related entries I need to know how to remove exception "Potential Security Risk Ahead" without adding localhost certificate again ? clogall never use .cer *.crt related sed -i actions. I used to upload postofficeinterest.html to geocities after testing that file at localhost.

I noticed an Other Bookmarks folder in my bar yesterday. Clicking on it showed 3 bookmarks: One labeled as move: https://www.lyricsondemand.com/tvthemes/rawhidelyrics.html One for Google And one for my bank account with log in information all filled in so that you only had to click submit to get into my bank account

I didn't create any of these. What is most disturbing is my bookmark for my bank account log in is first enter username, hit submit, then password is auto-filled in the next screen, hit submit to log in and see account details.

Again, I didn't create any of these!!! How can I see when they were created?

Can I see how they were created?

Anything else?

This is of course very disturbing!

I have changed my log in and password and checked off every notification feature in my online banking privacy area.

Thank you

Shaun

I recently got seriously worried when I became aware about the new AI firewalls these days, which monitors or inspect SSL encrypted packets, before the packets reach to the main website. These new AI firewall systems are installed in some countries by their governments to suppress free speech, or just spy on its people. These firewalls, as you may already know, uses DPI-SSL system, which decrypts packets traveling from user to the main website. To decrypt the HTTPS packets, these firewalls uses its own self signed CA certificates. So I am asking the firefox developers, that why you guys allow this privacy issue? Does the packets sent from a firefoxe browser to other websites are also decrypted, by these firewalls? If yes, then why you guys allow this? Firefox must ONLY allow a specific CA certificate made for firefox browser only. Firefox browser must never let other third party softwares, or any software, to decrypt its encrypted packets. This is a serious privacy issue. With these firewalls, they can see what users write in chats, or posts, they can see witch content we are watching on a website, they can see who we follow on social media platforms, they can see which content or posts we like and etc. Even passwords are not safe anymore, which e use for any website of platform. When passwords are not safe, so does our accounts of various websites. This is a serious privacy breach.

These firewalls is a weapon for those countries which want to suppress free speech or suppress opposition sides in a government or spy on its own people.

Please let me know if I am mistaken or my concerns are genuine.

Prior to today, on my Edwards Jones site, I could click on market commentary or check on latest CD rates and see results. But today, you have apparently changed the way 'embedded sites work and it traps an error. Right clicking on the link does not work ... So this obviously your latest new and improved feature to protect my security does not work as intended . . . what are you going to do to fix it?

I'm talking about how when you go to fill out a text input, it'll suggest that input next time you go to a similar field. Well, that system just saved my social security number as an input after I filled out a government form. I would like to turn this feature off now, and delete the history of it if I can. Is there a way I can do that?

I'd attach an example image of a different website, but the box goes away when trying to take a screenshot.
