Device Bound Session Credentials

Google has made Device Bound Session Credentials (DBSC) generally available to all Windows users of its Chrome web browser.

What is FIREFOX doing to defend us from session cookie stealing malware (STORM)?

i am having pop-up messages that there are viruses on my computer causing security & privacy issues, your timely help required as my work using my computer is lingering on.

I just purchase Malwarebytes Standard plan to help strengthen the security of my laptop which runs on Windows 11 .After installing the standard plan, Malwarebytes recommended I install, for free, an add-on called Browser Guard for Firefox. However, Mozilla sent a cautionary statement: 'This add-on is not actively monitored for security by Mozilla. Make sure you trust it before installing.

Is the Malwarebytes Browser Guard for Firefox safe?

Seriously Mozilla.

First with ramming AI everywhere in Firefox, now a browser VPN, why?

I do not want a VPN the web browser that I didn't ask for or other features you think people need without asking.

Corporate and business users would not have a bar of this either.

Enough!

Remove this from Firefox please in the next release.

In the meantime, tell users how to disable this VPN via the Settings and "about:config" so this never gets turned on.

When the browser is open - whether with tabs or not - it disables NVIDIA ShadowPlay. The NVIDIA overlay says “a protected app is preventing desktop capture,” and I’d agree with that if it only happened when tabs with DRM content were open, but it happens even in an empty browser.

Is there any documented way our I.T department can disable the ability to connect to or even see the Firefox VPN that is being rolled out via group policy or another settings method? Firefox is a great asset for our agency but we cannot have users having the ability to bypass our web filtering. If there's not an option currently, could we have the IP's or the servers that it runs off of so we can manually block it in our firewall?

I'm sending this from my phone. My desktop FF (Win 10) suddenly displayed a black wireless globe type icon called Prox-Media pinned to my taskbar. I can't find the app on my system, though, but the full path leads it to a firefox.exe file. Before my brain kicked in, I'd clicked on the icon right after noticing it, and Firefox came up with the attached error message displayed.

"Prox-Media" comes up nowhere in my searches - not as legit, not as a virus - just no results. Can you help?

I have a paid AVG account and I ran a deep scan but it found nothing.

I had Credit card Ads before many times and I could at least block them and be able to get some peace but now they are using Firefox & Firefox is actually putting them in a place of being able to literally Stock me And message after message they use Firefox to get to me all day and night and I can't stop it it's been so brutal for me I already have been stocked by my ex boyfriend and it was so scary so horrible I have bad panic attacks and anxiety, PTSD, truly afraid and I can atleast be able to block them they get new # new w Everything by next day and I have to block them daily & sence getting Firefox I have just figured out it's Seriously @Firefox that's allowing and giving these horrible scammers & worst credit card companies saying whatever they want to mess with you on a daily bases & I just found out it's because of Firefox I can't block them and get any help they help these companies actually stock me worse then anyone or any place ever before and there supposed to be a security company to keep me safe my Google Reviews I have awards getting 100,000 views first month & awarded for people truly caring what I have to say and I can't let other wemon & victims be brutalized like I have been through the 1 company suppose to keep me safe it's heartbreaking and has effected me in such a bad way I'm scared and not okay now after what I been through in last 24 hrs even how could this be right or legal or okay at all

Also McAffee notification with all these popups stating that my McAffee protection expired yesterday - I have never had a McAffee notification for a virus or pair for protection from them. Popups are happening every 10 seconds continuously! looks like about 20 or more popups describing different problems with 20 digit numbers and letters as a serial number of the problem!

Hello,

I am running windows 10, firefox 148.0.2 (64-bit) and when signing onto amazon.com I am greeted by this annoying pop up. Screenshot attached,

"Windows Security Making sure it's you

Please sing in to amazon.com This request comes from Firefox, published by Mozilla Corporation"

I do not find a need for this pop up and would like to know how to disable it. If you know how, please let me know!

The title. I want to be able to browse while trusting a specific CA certificate, but have the option to browse without it as well. If there is no way to do it, is there a way to toggle whether Firefox trusts a CA without needing to reinstall it every time?
