Firefox Community Forum

Hi all the people,

I was just surprised to see this in an Apache HTTP log: "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Firefox/58.0.1"

This bugs me. My first guess would be that a Webkit based Firefox could not be qualified as really Firefox. Although that, I could imagine a Firefox for iOS or MacOS based on Webkit, may be, but it says it is on Windows, which makes less sense.

I suspect this is a user agent string spoofing, but I just need to be sure (I try to get ride of far too invasive bots, while I’m afraid to disrupt browsing from legitimate web users).

With thanks and my apologizes for such a question which may looks obvious or strange to people who know for sure.

I am following the instructions in section "Install Firefox from Mozilla Repository (Recommended)" at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/run-firefox-chromeos At step 4 I am receiving a permission denied error: "-bash: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mozilla.sources: Permission denied" I am not sure how to resolve or continue.

Last command and output:

username@penguin:~ cat <<EOF > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mozilla.sources Types: deb URIs: https://packages.mozilla.org/apt Suites: mozilla Components: main Signed-By: /etc/apt/keyrings/packages.mozilla.org.asc EOF -bash: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mozilla.sources: Permission denied

I do not understand what is meant by the address bar in the info about stopping the Passkey notice in Firefox. I tried typing in the line where the description of the webpage is located with no success. This line: (.https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new/firefox/form).

My cat jumped on my keyboad and Firefox detected 'unusual activity' She probably hit a combination of keys which lead to said activity. Instantly, I had to verify whether I was a human. I did, but really, it was my cat. Neither my cat, nor myself have bad intentions. I just thought Firefox security should know that these things might happen.

I hope that my cat's activity didn't compromise my account. Maybe 'unusual activity' should be less strict, though I do understand that Firefox must be vigilant. Maybe it would be a good idea to let users describe what happened, before sending Captcha?

My firefox is on the latest version and up-to-date but will not access my home router which l normally us ip address. When trying to acess in edge works with no issues I am using windows 11 and all ok but wish to use Firefox And the IP adress is corect Can you advise

I frequently need to access logs in HTML format from a particular application. I find Firefox more comfortable for this, so I visit the parent path directly in the browser. However, the default sort order is by name; since these are logs, it's more useful for me to list them by last modified time. Is it possible to make this sort order the default when visiting file:// paths?

I've attached an image of what I typically visit for completeness.

Thanks.

I have DuckDuckGo as the search engine in my Firefox Browser. When I type a question in the screen box the words automatically populate in the address bar. How to fix?

I lost all my data after installation of new firefox. I have lots of important data in that profile.

I forgot the password to sign in and when I reset, a new profile was created for me and all my data are gone.

Now, I even know the original password. I did not know, I will lose my data. How can I get my data back? Please help.

I changed ma mozilla acc password and when i try to log in with new password on mobile "unknown error" occur. I can login on desktop with same password just fine. What to do?

Over the last week or so my personal websites (such as Banking, Amazon, Facebook, etc.) suddenly started asking for (text or email) verification to sign in successfully. This only happens after a restart. (Sometimes I run a 'restart to untangle some glitch - but some Windows updates do a restart automatically.) And I have to go through all the verification stuff again! VERY ANNOYING!! Some MS tech this morning had me uncheck Cookies and other data in the Privacy and security category. But that didn't help. I just did a restart and AGAIN my bank(s) websites asked for a texted CODE. So did Facebook, and Amazon. Once I complete the CODE requirement it stays good until the next restart. And when I went to change that "cookies" option was nowhere to be found (to change it back) In SETTINGS>PRIVACY & SECURITY - NOW shows just the green button and box that says "STANDARD". I don't want or need this annoying added verification on every site that I use daily. I don't know exactly how or when this started...(maybe about a week ago).

I got so frustrated with not being able to reinstall Firefox because I kept getting the error message "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible". So I deleted all the profiles after copying them to an external hard drive. Then I copied the file ending in.test from the Old Firefox data folder on my desktop to the AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/ profile. Then I copied the biggest file ending in .default from the backed up Local profiles to the AppData/Local/Mozilla/Firefox/ profile. It doesn't matter if I delete or keep the Old Firefox data folder on my desktop, I still get the Profile Missing error message. What can I do, so my laptop would appear as if it had been powered up straight out of the box and never had Firefox initially installed or what do I do with my profiles to make them accessible?
