I didn't even realize you discontinued this security product. So it is synced across all my devices, and I want it GONE. I have old software on a Mac and it is embedded in my Firefox browser version 78.15.0esr (64-bit) I synced a phone and iPad. I updated to a new mac and then discovered Lockwise has been discontinued. Yes I was using it since '21 without knowing it was no longer supported.

I want it gone from everywhere. I manually screen-shot EVERY SINGLE PASSWORD, because I could see no way to export them all. I think that a password manager who has been discontinued for any reason really has an obligation to loudly inform users. Seems like a horrid security risk not to.

Bottom line: How do I delete all the data across the devices I so lovingly added the Mozilla family to? I'm really hoping it's not by going to each one and selecting REMOVE. PLEASE and thank you.

Hi,

I clear my history every time I close my browser. And I periodically clear my history during my sessions.

When I open a new Window or Tab and begin to type an address, Firefox prompts me with websites I have previously visited that begin with the same letters. Firefox should NOT know my previous websites, if it has cleared my history.

In the attached image I typed in the letter "m" and Firefox prompted me with a recent pages I visited page and a list of other pages I have visited, at least one of them from a week or 2 ago.

Obviously, Firefox is not Clearing the History. It maybe clearing some of the history, but not ALL of the history.

Love the Browser. This should be fixed.

Thank you

Hello,

Recently I've created a wordpress website with a domain and have a valid SSL cert. It works in every browser except Firefox unless I disable DNS over HTTPS. I have had friends try and they run into the same issue. How can I make sure my website is compatible with this so it will work on Firefox as well?

Dear Sirs,

today i did lockout everybody on a test server of a web application while playing with CSP on the server side. no modern browser was able to open the page anymore. but the real problem was that the configuration interface was also not accessable anymore.

the option security.csp.enable is long gone since FF 99 and i had to ""downgrade to FF 98"" to be able to access the misconfigured server.

please enable that security.csp.enable in about:config back again at least for the development version of FF. someone might need it. other options are to install risky extensions and i would like to avoid that in the future.

Yours

I get an e-mail each day from The History Channel. Up until maybe four months ago I never had an issue, but recently I get the message Something Went Wrong Setting Up a Google DAI Stream as pictured below. I've got the latest Mozilla FireFox browser and Windows Home Edition 10. I can't quite figure out what is causing this. The link below works fine in Chrome and Edge. Any ideas for me? I prefer the FF browser. Thanks. - John

So, I've seen many apps that looked like they'd be helpful one way or another. (The latest was Malware Browser Guard.) When I click to install them, I'm warned that I'll be allowing the app to read what I enter, change things, etc. When I read more it sounds more reasonable -- it sounds like that at each step I'll be asked if I give permission for the app to read or edit -- the implication being read this specific page or edit this particular entry.

So by downloading these apps am I giving blanket authority to them to monitor my every click and keystroke or am I only telling the browser that I might want them to be able to do these things, but I need to be informed first when they are actively seeking to do something so I can decide whether to allow it at that point?

I don't suppose I have any guarantee that any software I use isn't collecting my userids, passwords, sites I visit, email I write, etc. -- but when I'm specifically warned I am authorizing a program to read what I enter, etc. it gives me pause. It's one thing to not know, another to say, no problem, have at it.

I'd like to take advantage of what some of these apps purport to provide. I'm hoping for some reassurance about downloading ones from presumably reputable companies.

Thanks.

This is getting real annoying! Almost every time I log in to a website, I get a message that I haven't used this device before - when I've actually used it 50 times - and I have to use the 2FA to get a code sent to my phone. Complete waste of time. FF is behaving like I'm clearing all cookies every day - I rarely clear them. How do I fix this??

I have a simple html/php form that I believe is getting high jacked by Firefoxes "autofill" function. After filling in the username/passwords/confirmation fields and hitting submit, I get a popup that says "View Saved Passwords" (and submittal back to the server is blocked). Setting "signon.showAutoCompleteFooter" to false in advanced preferences fixes this problem, but that only solves it in my personal browser and not the general user. Asking the general user to mess with their Advanced Preferences is not an option. Is there someway using html to get this form to work without using the autofill feature grabbing it?

Code: <form method='POST' action='my_profile.php?idupdate=2'>

  <fieldset>
  <legend>User Personal Login </legend>
  • Login Name (up to 30 characters): <input type='text' name='nlogin_name' value='$loginName' size='30' pattern='(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z]).{3,}' title='Must contain at least one number, one uppercase and one lowercase letter, and be at least 3 or more characters in length'>
  • Login Password (up to 15 charaters): <input type='password' name='nlogin_pwd1' size='15' pattern='(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z]).{8,}' title='Must contain at least one number, one uppercase and one lowercase letter, and at least 8 or more characters '>
  • Retype Password for confirmation: <input type='password' name='nlogin_pwd2' size='15' pattern='(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z]).{8,}' title='Must contain at least one number, one uppercase and one lowercase letter, and at least 8 or more characters '>

?>

My website https://www.kdka100.org will not load all data on its front page on Firefox, but works fine on Edge and Chrome. I have looked for settings to correct but to no avail. I spoke to the hosting company and all certificates should be OK now. The front page portion being blocked has photos which use the rollover feature to display text. The rest of the site appears to be working as it should. Any help appreciated.

Hi,

we have some appliances with a webadmin interface over https with a custom port. Since one of the last Updates, Firefox 102.3 (portable) is still working, I can not load the webadmin of said appliances when I try to connect over DNS or the WAN IP, it's only allowed to be accessed through our WAN IP or from the local network. When I connect with the internal IP address of the Appliance or if I use Opera/Edge (both I don't want to use) I get the option to accept the Security Risk and Continue. It's not with every Appliance, same vendor, same firmware but maybe newer certificate. But all certificates still valid, but self-signed.

What can we do, other than not use Firefox?

Greetings from Germany, Andreas
