Anyone want to try something tough...? I find that the telephone confirmation system for ID checking used by Paypal does not work with Firefox. It used to, but now it won't. The system offers to call you, putting you up a number of the screen, and then calls you to get you to put that number into the keypad on your phone. It used to work fine, and validation was not an issue. There is no problem when using Chrome, but only with Firefox. There is some sort of issue with the connection as, when using Firefox, Paypal's computer does not seem to 'hear' the numbers entered on my phone, then suddenly, unasked, another code appears!

Anyone had this? Justin

Own CA: Self-signed Certificates not longer secure under Firefox Android but still under the Desktop

Hello there,

I'm using an own Certificate Authority in order to create certificates for intranet websites. There's a chain of trust, I always imported the public part of the ca-certificate into the phones "Trusted credentials" store of android. Then it is listed under the Users-Tab. The expected behavior would be, that the Browser now trusts the all the self signed certificates from that CA. This worked many years, however this is not the case any more. Now I get warnings in Firefox under Android, that the intranet sites are not providing a secure connection. (Secure connection failed, Accept the risk and continue)

Using Firefox on an actual desktop pc however works, the certificates are still trusted, the connection is shown as secure.

I wonder what has happened to the Android browser version. Is it a bug or is it a feature?

Btw, googles chrome also doesn't accept the certificate any more, also says insecure connection. And on Desktop, they also work.

I'm not questioning that it works on desktops. Thats's why I made all the effort to set up a local CA, to have a secure connections within my intranet. I just wonder why it doesn't work on mobile phones any more.

Best regards Ben

I'm curious about the current state of Web Speech API. This is a W3C specification that was implemented in both Firefox and Chrome and includes Automatic Speech Recognition.

There is a demo page at https://mdn.github.io/dom-examples/web-speech-api/speech-color-changer/

To use this in Firefox, I have to change two settings in about:config to True: media.webspeech.recognition.enable media.webspeech.recognition.force_enable

There used to be a setting that could be used to set a specific endpoint for the actual STT processing, but that doesn't show up in my list of settings anymore. I guess I could add it, but have no idea if it would be respected by the browser or what the endpoint should look like. Anyway, whatever endpoint Firefox is currently using does not seem to be working anymore, so I just get an "Error occurred in recognition: network" error.

In Chrome it works, but most likely is sending my raw audio to Google Cloud STT to do the actual transcribing. I'd like to be able to control the endpoint so I can use a local service connected to VOSK or Whisper or some other locally hosted STT engine.

I'm thinking about implementing something using WebRTC, but if anyone is working along similar lines, I'd like to join that project rather than creating my own.

Is anyone working on this?

I have signed into my Firefox account on my parents computer in order to see my bookmarks & have saved passwords, etc easily found, signed into & used. Sync is off but after I sign out bookmarks & password still on this computer. I don't want to remove these bookmarks & passwords from my Firefox account on my home desktop or my phone - just from this one computer. Research I found say a Firefox account not for this "function" - but now that I've done it is there NO way to remove it & not have to start from scratch & thus lose all the saved data, extensions, etc.???

I'm a little fuzzy on recommended safe browsing habits.

When I visit banking sites they always recommend closing your browser when you're done for security purposes. I generally have lots of unrelated tabs open on my browser. Is it unsafe to have those tabs open when I go to the banking site? Does closing the browser and reopening it (after the banking session) flush out the data even when all those tabs remain open?

Unable to allow access to a mcrophone and camera ever since the upgrade to Sequoia 15.0 on my MacBook Pro

Good evening,

I was successfully using Mozilla Firefox version 115 to login to my work portal that I use as the interpreter. That means we are using audio/video option. My firewall is on and all the connection to and from Firefox are allowed, and were allowed all along, I did not have to allow it after the Bug 1919173 was identified for some users. I was able to use the Internet on Firefox, and I am using it right now logged on using Firefox browser. But the issue is now with the upgrade that the calls I am receiving are being disconnected whether it is the audio or video. Video freezes, and that never happened before the upgrade. According to my MacBook Pro Firewall, "all connections to Firewall allowed", I don't understand then I am being disconnected when all the permissions are granted to access the microphone and the camera whenever prompted. I looked at the Privacy and Security/Permissions/Microphone/Camera/Settings, in Firefox Settings/Preferences and the dialog box that opens after clicking on Settings, basically does not serve the purpose because there is no +sign to add the portal webpage name to "always allow access to Microphone and camera" despite the permissions were already allowed numerous times from Firefox prompts when the call/session started. I did not have the portal webpage added to this specific dialog box because it was not necessary, and frankly I never opened the permissions under Privacy and Security so I don't know if the + sign was enabled before the upgrade. I opened the firewall on my MAC and Firefox is one of the applications allowed with "All the communications to Firefox Allowed" with green dot right by it. I am afraid to delete it and then add it again Under my MacBook Pro Settings and the firewall because of possibility I would not be able to use the Firefox then, at all. Do you know if anybody tried it already and succeeded? I even tried to install newer Firefox version 130 but that one had sound issues with crackly and breaking up issues from the other end. I uninstalled Firefox version 130, and I am keeping this one, version 115 that I used successfully for VoIP for at least last six months. Is there any plan from developers to work on the dialog box under Privacy and Security/Permissions/Camera/Microphone/Settings and have the plus sign enabled to be able to add the portal web page I am using for my work? Are there any other suggestions or we just have to wait until Apple would work on the fix and issues the patch for this bug? Thank you so much.
