02/09/2024. For the past 4 or 5 days I've been getting a warning not to proceed any search on Firefox. Here's part of the message: "Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to resultsvlt.com. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details. What can you do about it? The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

Hello, yesterday (Friday) I downloaded the program Pure Web Browser, which was one of the advertisement on Firefox website when I opened it. Later, I discovered that Pure Browser was blocking many things, because I could not perform functions on some websites, such as getting my email because it blocked me signing in. This happened with several sites.

Could you please tell me how to delete Pure Web Browser, as it is causing problems with the PC. I have tried, and had no success.

Thanks for your help.

As per the subject, I can no longer restore all of my settings after this last update. I guess it's time to explore other options. Mozilla is nowhere as good as it used to be. That's progress. Low-paid interns and shoddy support help to influence.

I just wrote this blog post and someone suggested I contact you.

I have my default browser set to Firefox on Linux (Debian Bookworm). When I open an http:// or https:// URL, it opens in Firefox, but when I open a file:/// URL, it opens in Chromium. It seems that file:/// URL makes it resort to the MIME type.

Is there anything Firefox can do here or is this a Debian or freedesktop.org issue?

Thanks!

FFox on Win11.

I thought this would be easy to find. It's not. I consider that a bug.

I originally was trying to find out what the yellow dot to the right of the refresh icon meant. I'd still like to know.

I have a 30-day free trial for DeepL add-on (and enabled it in Firefox). I tried to use the extension when I visited a Russian website and clicked DeepL and "Translate this selection" and nothing happened. The webpage wasn't translated. Do I have to be a "Pro" user to use DeepL? If not, how do I get it to work? I'm using Firefox 122.0.1 version and Windows 10.
