Firefox Community Forum

My account is personal. Why is there a notification saying that it is being managed by my institution? I have been retired for almost four years, and have been able to use Mozilla Firefox without any problems until this morning. I have been using Mozilla Firefox long before I started working with my last employer.

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

Hello,

We have set a fixed proxy in Firefox on our employees' notebooks. However, when the notebooks do not have a VPN connection to our network, the proxy cannot be reached. Firefox then disables the proxy after a short time. I found the setting network.proxy.failover_direct under about:config and thought that setting it to false would solve the problem. However, Firefox behaves the same way.

How can I prevent Firefox from accessing the internet except through the specified proxy?

Thank you.

Latest update Firefox Version 134.0 (64-bit): Won’t allow me to open previous tabs on start up. When I try to change setting it says this:

Information Your browser is being managed by your organization.

How do I fix this? I am the organization and this setting was previously working for years???

WHAT DOES "YOUR BROWSER IS BEING MANAGED BY YOUR ORGANIZATION: ?

"YOUR BROWSER IS BEING MANAGED BY YOUR ORGANIZATION"? THERE IS NO ORGANIZATION ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LAPTOP.

HOW DO I GET MICROSOFT OUT OF MY COMPUTER?

EXAMPLE: I NEVER SIGNED UP/IN FOR ONE DRIVE. IT MEANS THAT THINGS SUCH AS DOWNLOADS HAS A MICROSOFT TOOL IN THE FILE LOCATION.

HOW DO I QUICKLY FIND THINGS LIKE MOZ VPN TO DOWNLOADS? I RECEIVE VPN FOR FREE. IS THERE A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE THAT JUSTIFIES THE COST OF FIREFOX'S VPN?

THANKS FOR THE HELP,

DAVID MARSHALL

I was wondering if there any option to make my savings more structured, here is an example what i mean: all my downloads are saved in "\Downloads" or i can select it EVERYTIME i download ANYTHING from ANYWHERE, this sucks and i want it to be like this: "\Downloads\web.url\" so it gonna be like: "\Download\youtube.com\" or "\Downloads\gtihub.com\" and i want to have an option to define custom folders for each website, for example for github.com i want set this path: "E:\github-dl\", in my case, E: is my external hard drive. This solution will make user downloading experience much better and our filesystem will say thank to you! I hope you got my idea, i tried to search any extension in your shop, and chrome market but i didn't find any luck, so im asking you directly. I also never saw this kind of feature in any other browser so you could be the ever first one:)

Been using Netscape then Mozilla load since 1996. Jan 13 2025 I turned on computer (for 3rd time) and (all browsers) Mozilla is blocked by windows defender firewall. Jan 14th I turned on PC and same.

Setting\windows defender firewall setting is now in perpetual circle of processing request.

• Windows Smart App Contol is turned off.
• advance virus scan will not launch due to alpha characters will not populate, only numeric, even when switching keyboard languages.
• quick and full scan work with no errors, prior successful was Jan 10th , 10 min before turning off computer (quick)
• no error or alarms other than "firewall is blocking Mozilla & Mozilla VPN". MS Edge Browser just sits with no pages loaded, no error messages.
• NIC and internet is working fine as ping and othe CMD to international work. Email clients work.
• Client ( L&T TS) Microsoft Intune installed for work Account

Windows 11 pro, all updates to windows and Mozilla, virus and dell processed through January 10 (from history)

i AM RECEIVING EMAILS ALL DAY LONG FROM SECUREDJOINTNETWORK TELLING MY SYSTEM IS INFECTED.. MY SECURITY PREVENTS THAT i WANT THESE NOTICES STOPPED, BUT DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO IT.

After accidentally closing firefox I could not restore my last session after going to. history because the restotre tab was not there. Only recently closed tabs and recently closed windows and search history was there. I also had the box sent in setting to restore last session but it did not do that either. Am I missing something. Sorting through all the history would take quite a bit of time. I am on a macbook with sequoia ios.

Thanks
