Firefox Community Forum

Hello,

We are running Roaming Profiles from our Active Directory architecture. It seems that a lot of files happen to have too long path&filename for example :

\\Serverinfo\Username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\FirefoxUserProfile\storage\default\moz-extension+++f9efba58-d1ae-40d1-993c-f56654dc34c0^userContextId=4294967295\idb\{d1ae6e36-40f7-4f62-88b9...

Do you have any idea to configure Mozilla so we keep it able to handle these filename length ?

We cant use wildcard in exclusions so we cant exclude whats in a subfolder of each profile. It's not supported by ActiveDirectory GPO.

Hope it was understandable please let me know if you need further details.

Regards, Yannick GANTOU

Hello! I am developing a web server, from which users can download large files. These files take a few seconds to generate, and cannot be generated ahead-of-time; only when a user requests them. The server therefore responds to such requests by first sending the HTTP response headers (without "Content-Length"), which can be written immediately, then generating the file, and sending the generated file as the response body.

In Chromium, this leads to the "Save As..." dialog appearing instantly, so the file can be generated & downloaded in the background while the user picks a location.

In Firefox (v132, linux x64), the "Save As..." dialog waits for the file to be generated before appearing, which is not user-friendly. During deeper testing, I discovered that Firefox appears to wait for my server to send at least 1 byte of data from the file (in the response body, after sending the HTTP response headers), before the "Save As..." dialog appears.

I have searched the Firefox settings and documentation but did not find anything that would explain this behavior. Is this a bug?

I have downloaded additional dictionaries to spell check when I'm writing in other languages on the firefox browser, yet I am unable to switch to those dictionaries. I've tried multiple. I have cleared caches. I have restarted. I have installed and uninstalled. I have the latest version.

They simply do not work. I work in multiple languages and would love to continue to use Firefox has my default browser.

I am trying to log into the indian evisa (indianvisaonline.gov.in) website to print off an ETA (Electronic Travel Authorisation) and when logging into the site I am getting a warning saying potential security risk ahead

Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to indianvisaonline.gov.in. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.

What can you do about it?

The issue is most likely with the web site, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it.

If you are on a corporate network or using antivirus software, you can reach out to the support teams for assistance. You can also notify the web site’s administrator about the problem.

I do not know what to do for the best

Hello I installed Windows some time ago, after that when I installed Firefox and added my account to it, none of my data was there, even though I had backed up a lot of passwords, bookmarks and add-ons. Now I have to check if I have any data. Syncing is not happening. Please check my account and help me recover my data.

Thank you very much.

Hello to all,

I wanted to use DoH (dnsforge.de) under “maximum protection”, but with one exception: I would like Ecosia.org to be able to place ads for me, because I am convinced of Ecosia and want to support this project. Tested this with Cloudflare as well, setting up an exception here does not work either.

Now the exception set in Firefox has no effect. It should not be due to the DNS provider, because Ecosia.org is not blocked and has even been whitelisted.

What is the expected behavior of the “maximum protection” setting?

Kind regards

Hello Mozilla, I have a Lenovo G700 laptop with the WINDOWS 7 Pro operating system My browser is Firefox 115.19.0 (see file Firefox.jpg) During the security check in online banking I am told that the browser is out of date (see firefox2.jpg) But I can only update the version and it says "Firefox is up to date" What's wrong with that?

Best regards Heimo Ganzoort

Over the last few weeks, it feels like this browser is doing updates almost every day on my pc and laptop. After done updating i lose all my cookies, logging me out of all my accounts, dark modes and settings. This is my final attempt before swapping browsers.

Hi there, I just got a new work laptop and tried to sync my firefox browsers so I could keep my passwords and bookmarks from my old laptop. Unfortunately I forgot my password, so I had to reset it on my new device. I logged in again on my old laptop but it's still not syncing or updating the bookmarks on the new laptop. Is there any way to move my bookmarks and passwords over to my new laptop? Thanks!

I seem to have found a fake Firefox phishing website. The content of the website is in Chinese and it is included in Google search.

The fake websites are cn-firefox.com and www.firefsioix.com, I hope the community members can confirm the website information.

Namate from India,

I would like to donate all of my Data since 2005 I opened Gmail Account from Launch. I was very first to use Gmail and other services in Google.

So far I have contributed so much in the form of Queries. This AI based coding I am searching from 2008.

There are so much info in my legacy Data requested to get downloaded from today.

I love Mozilla Firefox from Initially and used many times, before that I was the user of Netscape Navigator. And lot more Open Source projects I am aware of and commerical people started taking forks and started selling their products. All well it's their job to Business.

But recent practice of Internet is not fair, tracking you without taking consent, and tracking what you see, what you watch, what you search more and much.

But some enterprises don't adhere to policy of States like in India. People are very new to Internet and there is a saying here "Data is Gold" by Richest person in India.

People are designing Apps and websites without taking proper Audit

I have blowed whistle against LinkedIn and sent mail to CEO Ryan Ros.

In India majority of people don't understand English and Technical English is very Far.

Results India is the hottest Market for all to Steal Knowledge, Data & Money.

What I want to string e-governance here and working on some of the projects.

But Google is fair and passed All Audits by Govt of India and Now Google Login Is inbuilt.

Let's open the Internet together by establish fair practice. Very few people on Earth 🌎 do work for Real Not for Profit.

I can do advocacy of Mozilla Foundation and Train people in State Govt to design more fool proof and Apps and Web.

But alone it's not possible. I am not getting right people here, sometimes I get very frustrated.

I love EFF and keep involving with them.

Rest looking for your Support.

I can also rasie a lots of Funds by launching a campaign from Good Corporates and other Philanthropists In India.

I am attaching my LinkedIn Profile Screenshot.

Looking forward to your suggestions.

Sincerely Vishal Seth
