Firefox Community Forum

some firefox has kept my username and password for my bank.

i go to that page and they are both prefilled. I have tried to use the password manager to remove them but failed. I did find an entry and clicked to remove it but it still does it.

How can I get this out of the system? Pretty serious, eh?

And it is firefox, not cookies. I have a cookie manager and there's no cookies for the site.

105.03 on Macos 12.5 & 12.6, Apple Silicon

I recently received a SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN error when trying to connect to a Heroku site (addons.heroku.com) I think. I thought it was a Heroku problem, but noticed that on clicking "advanced" the certificate was described as being for completely different domains, on every refresh.

Shift-refresh fixed this.

Since then I upgraded to Macos 12.6, and today received a similar error when trying to connect to https://www.theautopian.com/mclaren-f1-chief-engineer-gordon-murrays-mk-i-ford-escort-is-a-restomod-masterpiece/ – again, the certificate was described as belonging to a different domain. As before a shirt-refresh fixed this.

I need to exempt a site from the pop up blocker process. When I go to Privacy & Settings/Manage Exceptions, there is no text box or other way for me to enter the site. Am I doing something wrong or do I need to change some other setting to allow exceptions?

I received an unknown sign in on my Firefox account from a different city from Chrome nonetheless.

Is there any way I can check if my saved passwords were accessed from within my Firefox browser? Unfortunately, there's a lot of passwords which I need to now go through and change passwords to.. ugh

A while back i asked how to avoid the unique identifier / download token that every firefox installation now has when downloading from https://www.mozilla.org/eu/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release As a response you told me to use either of these: What's the difference between archive.mozilla.org and ftp.mozilla.org?

Both sites look exactly the same from what i can tell. Also you warned me that downloading from these sites can be insecure because the sites might be vulnerable to "hackers" or might have been "infiltrated" by third partys. What's better getting a unique identifier or downloading from the archive and accepting potential risk? None of this would be necessary if mozilla didn't push a unique identifier.

When downloading from the archive the sha512 and sha256 always match the installer, doesn't mean anything if the site itself has been compromised i guess? Then again why would it be compromised? Seriously? I could download the fire installer from the official site and from the archive and compare if both sha512 and sha256 match each other, if so i guess no compromise and no token, right?

I recently deleted some email from my Yahoo.mail account and asked for it to be restored by Yahoo yesterday. Today the time stamp on all of my incoming mail is wrong. I contacted Yahoo and they said that I needed to enable my location to Yahoo from within Firefox. Yahoo is not listed as requesting permission so I am not able to enable the location for them. I switched to Chrome and the time stamp in Yahoo was correct. I exited Firefox and tried reloading yahoo.mail, but it did not fix the time stamp problem. They suggested I contact Firefox. How can I fix this?

I install the latest firefox version and discovered that firefox connected to tracking-protection.cdn.mozilla.net This adress (server) appears to be owned by Google LLC [United States of America] AS396982

See images attached below, or try for yourself https://dnschecker.org/all-dns-records-of-domain.php

I asume Mozilla rent's those servers from Google or just has a contract with Google to allow them and use their servers? Anyways i see this as a big issue, who can guarantee that Google doesn't see the traffic of these servers???

I notice firefox will sighn off on its own after I sighn in. Also notice site "Privacy Protection" button is off. I slide this button on, only to notice later that again this is off? HTTPSEVERYWHERE also has a slider button I continue to turn on , yet it turns itself off. Can you let us understand the "reasoning" for this?

I just downloaded the latest firefox installer and ran it, after the installation was completed i was asked by my firewall programm if setup.exe should be allowed or denied network acess. I found it's located here: C:\users\user\appdata\local\temp\7zsc6e8770c\setup.exe Now what is this and what does it do? What happens if i grant it network access, what data does it send to Mozilla and why?

I want to use this opportunity to also ask about defaultuseragent.exe, why does it even exist? What data does it send to mozilla, what does it do exactly?

I'm hoping you can assist me with the following issue. Unable to access NCAA Football or CBS Sports websites even when the website is bookmarked and/or listed as an exception in my Firefox settings (CBS Sports). Please explain why the exception list and bookmarking websites no longer allows me to access these sites. This is a recent issue.

This issue has become a nuisance and unfortunately as much as I trust Firefox (I actually donate monthly) I may have to start using a different web browser such as Microsoft Edge if this issue cannot be resolved.

Thank you in advance for you help.

Sincerely, Mary

On over half of all websites I've visited today have came back with the error "OCSP response is not yet valid" including one of Mozilla's own sites (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/) and they work fine in chrome so it's not the sites.

I used a friend's Macbook a few months back and then weeks later he asked me in passing "Why can I see all of your search history?" I really didn't understand his question at the time and wasn't sure what he was referring to. Fast forward to last week and my friend's Mac was stolen. The question he asked in passing now became crystal clear - I had logged onto my Firefox account from his Mac and didn't log out. I have been searching for a way to "Log out of all devices" but have not found a solution. I've read that I can go to that computer I would like to un-sync and log out OR change my Firefox password then change ALL of my other saved passwords. Certainly there must be a simple way to force any device using my account to input the new password next Firefox is accessed.

Firefox Browser: Your browser is being managed by your organization

In about:preferences i read: Your browser is being managed by your organization For german Users: Der Browser wird durch Ihre Organisation verwaltet. No further info.

This links to: about:policies Enterprise Roots Certificates ImportEnterpriseRoots true No further info

Search here: about:config security.certerrors.mitm.auto_enable_enterprise_roots true security.enterprise_roots.enabled true No further info

So i used regedit.exe Nothing to see here but 1: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox\ HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox\ No further info

Where else could we see WHO is watching us? This is very important and if we can not see this, EVERYBODY could be this even Malware :( Why is that not visible under about:policies#active ? So this is a security malfunction of Firefox i mean.

Here i found no solution: "Security software uses this to hook in the Firefox internet connection to be able to monitor your internet traffic and possibly warn you or even prevent you from visiting not trusted websites." Topic: What is "ImportEnterpriseRoots" 2019-11-13 https://support.mozilla.org/lt/questions/1272909 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1354393 All archived.

BUT how to proove or deny this? I have no control over my security? How should i believe this?

So, I recently had to have my PC repaired. Before sending it in (which ended in a factory reset) I exported all my saved login data to a .csv file. Now, I already changed the setting to allow it to import from a file, but when I select that specific file for import, and hit the button.... nothing happens.

No passwords imported, no popup like I've seen in so many other posts about this issue, no nothing.

How do I fix this? I need to get it operational ASAP without manually copying every single log in. from the plaintext file.
