Hi, my account seems to have some kind of admin or enterprise control on it, but I'm not part of an organization. It says:

Information Your browser is being managed by your organization.

I don't know how to fix this, but it is keeping me from updating and doing other things like clearing cache and adjusting my settings.

How can I fix this?

I don't know how it happened.

Thank you

I raised a support request for MalwareBytes Browser Guard version 2.6.27 blocking EASYLIST.

This is an anti-tracking tool, that some site use in their anti BOT checking JS scripts, prior to outputting the reCAPCHA Challenge, so it gets blocked, stopping users signing up, or signing in.

Here is a typical site: https://www.grandstream.com/newsletter-sign-up

Please explain why Mozilla/Firefox has prevented Browser Guard from being updated to the later 3.x.x. releases.

I was tracing some network activity for an unrelated issue and noticed that when FF starts up it immediately makes multiple TCP connections to livejasmin.com. I have this site blocked by the Windows Firewall and have the host file direct it to 127.0.0.1 so nothing is actually going in or out, but why is FF doing this and how can I fix whatever was done to enable this happening?

I have cleared all cookies and cache, and disabled all addons, and even started in safe mode, but regardless of what I do the very 1st connections that FF makes are always to livejasmin.com, which is obviously not a legit place for FF to be doing any of its routine updates or optimization tasks. My home page is https://google.com and the livejasmin.com connections appear before the 1st attempt to connect to google so this is clearly something malicious that found a way to get into FF early in the startup process.

I have also run 2 different scans tools on the entire computer and both found nothing. I have reviewed all the running processes and do not see anything suspicious either. I do not see this issue with Chrome or Edge, just FF which is my primary browser. All browsers are updated to the latest version as well as the WIN10 OS.

I have also removed my profile and started FF up without the profile, and I noticed the livejasmin.com connections again while the FF "your profile cannot be found" error message popped up. When I had FF make a new profile and set it as the default the same connections to livejasmin.com were made when I restarted FF with the new profile. So it is not tied to my profile.

I have a flag that says my Browser is managed by the Organization. I cant find any help on HOW to fix it, I only find pages telling me things that make no sense to me as a sole user. None of my other computer have this flag on the settings page.

How do I remove this or changes this setting, since it makes me feel like some outside agency has tried to control the browser

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.

Hello,

So, I got the "Restart to keep using Firefox message" while working to make sure that certain HIPPA protected data. I cannot close out of the browser because I am in an incognito window.

Is there a way to pause the message or can I only prevent it by disabling automatic updates?

P.S. So I work in the very sensitive part of Data Engineering e911 that deals with medical patient reports that given ONLY to the doctor at the hospital when the fire department drops you off at a Hospital. Because of extremely sensitive nature some of the specific report fields, I am not longer legally allowed (by HIPPA as old as the law is) to use browsers like chrome. So, I have to use browser like Firefox that are still in compliance. I want Firefox to update, but I want to choose when it updates (on the first weekend when there is a national fire or storm disaster happening... which technically will be this first Saturday since the update on the 15th).

I'm new to Firefox (I just started checking it out today). I came from Chrome and I have some questions.


1. Does Firefox have a limit to how much internet history it can hold? I did a full sync from Chrome.

2. Can I delete the folder "Old Firefox Data"?

3. How do we turn off "Thought-provoking Stories"?

4. Will there be an option to upload images to make them the homepage background?

Since your last upgrade, I have been able to get into any sites using CloudFlare security. Prior to that I had no problems at all. I have tried closing extensions and or clearing cookies. I especially want access to my banking account. How can I disable whatever was added to effect CloudFlare? CloudFlare either continues to cycle, or gives an error message.
