Firefox Support Forum

I am comparing different browser-based password manager implementations.

I noticed that Firefox prompts to remember credentials when a form is submitted, but some other browsers, e.g., Google Chrome, wait until the server responds with a success status before prompting (and, if the server responds with an error status, then the browser does not prompt to remember the credentials).

I assume there are pros/cons to these different approaches, and I would like to better understand the trade-offs.

Right now, all I see is that it is possible—even likely—for a user to tell Firefox to remember an incorrect/invalid password—which seems like a downside to Firefox's approach.

The "Ask to save logins and passwords for websites" setting is cleared every time I restart FF. This needs to be the first item to change when I start FF. Any ideas about how to make this 'sticky'?

When I try to download a .dmg file the default is to is to open it with "DiskImageMounter". This is disastrously bad behavior and there seems to be no way to change this insane default.

earlier logins used to be displayed as dialog/popup. but now, since logins and options are displayed in tabs called lockwise, can addons having all tab data permission read them?

Very recently there is an annoying pop up (despite my settings for blocking pops up and virtually everything else) called Maps and Directions Online Promos. I have removed it from my toolbar and it is hidden, but it exists and performing. Can I delete this new tool, or at least stop it from functioning? I'm considering dropping FireFox as my browser which I have used for years because of this.

How can i fix this? Autocomplete should suggest saved passwords for the current url only. What is the point of auto suggest passwords saved from others subdomain. If you have multiple saved password this could be very annoying

I am currently using Firefox 72.0.1

Hello, Each time I try to download the new version of Firefox (70.0.1) it is redirecting to download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net however the link displayed from the right click of the mouse is https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-latest-ssl&os=osx&lang=en-US

I am also trying to find out the file size of the dmg (mine says 72.5Mb) and the Firefox app which seems to be very bloaty in excess of 203.9 Mb

When I drag the Firefox folder to the Applications folder.

However I have gatekeeper set to Allow Apps downloaded from the App Store. YET Firefox opens without having to go into gatekeeper and make changes.

eg. "Open anyway" or "App Store and Identified developers"

Can someone confirm the following i) Current version of Firefox for Max OS X ii) The current size of the dmg iii) The size of the app iv) whether download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net is a a valid Mozilla.org affiliated website

I am attempting to prevent all users in the business from preventing automatic updates. Is there any means of .cfg file, or policy that will grey-out the option for users to "check for updates but choose when to install them. Thanks for any help!

I currently have Privacy Badger and Privacy Possum installed and activated in my desktop browser, but I also have Firefox's Enhanced Tracking Protection turned on and set to Strict as well. Some sites I go to, both Badger and Possum say that they are blocking trackers, yet the Firefox ETP Shield doesn't indicate that anything is being blocked at all. Is it possible that both Badger and Possum are interfering with Firefox ETP, keeping it from working by getting to the trackers first? If that is the case, is it a good idea to keep these addons or should I let ETP handle all the work with protecting me from trackers?

Logging onto Asus website at http://router.asus.com/Main_Login.asp to update / change info, Firefox indicates not secure. when i call Asus they claim it is. How do i find out if my info is safe, and thank you. Mark

I'm logged into Firefox with a Firefox Account and want to have to log into that account every time I open Firefox after closing it.

When I say "Firefox Account", I mean the one found under "Sync" in Firefox options, or the one managed from accounts.firefox.com.

In Firefox's history settings, I have "Use custom settings for history" checked and only "Clear history when Firefox closes" checked. I have checked "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed."

It seems very strange to me that Firefox would keep me logged into my Firefox Account with this setup.

Great FF does not recognise that the VPN has been turned off, no matter how many times it has been restarted. Whilst MS Edge and Chrome both work well. Trying to connect to sites that track the IP to tell if you are from the UK or not.

As an aside Troubleshooting Information: Automatically Add fails

For the last several days McAfee has blocked the following IP address 52.216.241.14 as being suspicious. When I Google searched this IP address FF lit up with a red warning message. What's up with this address? Also, is there a better forum to get more information about this address? Thanks

Each time I turn off Firefox, all cookies, cache and browsing history are being cleared. I turned off all the "clear data when Firefox is being turned off" options in the setting but it did not solved the problem. Re-installing FF is not helping either. How can I solve this?

I want to delete Firefox browsing history on a regular basis. For instance, I want to delete browsing history which is more than 3 months ago AUTOMATICALLY. Is there an option to do this?

Hello,

I have a problem that firefox saved my login details and does not ask for the password when logging in, but I do not see this data in the password manager, and I urgently need to read this password because I forgot it. Can I ask you for advice on this matter? How can I restore the display of saved passwords in my firefox?

Thank you for any tips and help.

It started yesterday. When I open my XFINITY email service and try to read any e-mail, the whole body of the e-mail is "Blocked by Content Security Policy." And it says further that "Firefox prevent this page from loading." It looks like it is a problem from the Firefox browser. Your help would be appreciated.
