Look at the screen shots, a picture is worth a thousand words. I've tried numerous times to find an ad blocker in use but can't find one. prime video doesn't like firefox either for some reason but it is up to date. signing into ring is an issue unless I go into safe mode. There has been more but those are the ones I can remember at the moment. I've already spent countless hours trying to fix issues because I like Firefox but no longer. If you cna't fix the bugs I'm out of patience, I'll be looking for another browser.

Security features warning

You may see a warning that “some of Firefox’s security features may offer less protection on your current operating system”.

The sandbox in Firefox makes use of unprivileged user namespaces when creating new processes for enforcing more security. This can be considered a security risk, therefore some Linux distributions have started to restrict its usage and only allow it to work where there is an AppArmor profile.

Such profiles can only cover a limited set of installations paths, including Snap and Debian packages. They cannot however cover some other use cases, such as tarball installations as well as local development builds.

To create an AppArmor profile for Firefox:

In /etc/apparmor.d/, create a file with the name firefox-local

In the file, add the following:

  1. This profile allows everything and only exists to give the
  2. application a name instead of having the label "unconfined"

abi <abi/4.0>, include <tunables/global> profile firefox-local /home/<USER>/bin/firefox/{firefox,firefox-bin,updater} flags=(unconfined) {

   userns,
   # Site-specific additions and overrides. See local/README for details.
   include if exists <local/firefox>

}


Replace <USER> with your Linux user name. This assumes the Firefox install is at $HOME/bin/

Once you have saved the file, run sudo systemctl restart apparmor.service in the Linux terminal.

Hello, after installing a new hard drive (the old one died and I couldn't recover the data), I reinstalled everything on my PC, except that a friend recommended installing Arium (Windows 10.8 LTS). It works fine, except that now I have no way of connecting my Mozilla account to Firefox to recover my passwords and other saved tabs.

I've searched a lot, tried several installations, and even installed a previous version of Firefox, but nothing works...

Do you know why? Is it because of Arium?

Thanks

Hi! I'm currently on Mozilla Firefox's Version 138.0.1 for 64-bit Windows 11, but I don't have the new features for tab groups or profile customization. I checked for updates and disabled my extensions, and still no options for either of the new features appear. Is there a way I can get these features activated on my Firefox? Thanks!

I can not edit the domain address in the password save section. I can change user name and pw, but not the domain name/address. This is very annoying for sites like twitter that have now changed to x as it's not straight forward and prohibitive to my own saved information and it not allowing me to alter it in the EDIT section. Thank you for any help you can provide.

hello,

Since the last update was downloaded, I can no longer view content created using Genialy.

We are a training organization with an e-learning platform and today our content created under Genialy is no longer accessible if you use your browser.

With other browsers like Edge or Chrome the content is easy to read.

Thank you for fixing this bug.

Sincerely,

I have tried everything. I've gone into the permissions, I have it set that everything is allowed. I reset and forgot the sites multiple times, zoom and Google Meets, and when I reload still the same issue. It says I do not have a camera. The camera works for both Edge and the camera app on my laptop. I even checked my settings on my laptop, and Firefox has permission to access my camera. However, in the camera request history, it does not show that Firefox asked for access to my camera. It also says the last time it accessed my camera was last year, but I have been trying to get it to work this entire time. I am updated with Windows 11 and the latest update of Firefox. How do I fix this? Is it an issue with Firefox or Windows?
