Firefox Support Forum

Why does Firefox 'DEMAND' that I give my age when I open an account? Is it for selling to third-party companies? You do a lot and say a lot to protect your security but it would appear that by insisting that I reveal my age you are not respecting MY privacy. Mike

For the Send websites a "Do Not Track" signal that you don't want to be tracked, one of the options is "Only when Firefox is set to block known trackers".

How do I set Firefox to block known trackers? How do I set Firefox to not block known trackers?

Is having Enhanced Tracking Protection ON the same thing as having Firefox set to block known trackers? So if I turn OFF Enhanced Tracking Protection, Firefox will no longer be set to block known trackers?

So this visual bug has been happening on my Nightly install for months now. The "Site information for website.com" menu that appears when you click the lock icon in the address bar is basically unusable for me. The menu's header, "clear cookies" button, and arrow button are all fine, but the text in between is covered in globe icons. The "Connection Security" sub-menu that the arrow leads to has a similar case. (See screenshot.)

Huge disclaimer: I am using Shadowfox, which modifies a Firefox install to make UI elements darker. It has made text difficult to read for me at times, but it has never produced any really strange artifacts like this one as far as I can tell. I do have a Developer Edition install with no Shadowfox and it doesn't have the issue. However, maybe this is a common Nightly issue. (I guess this wouldn't make sense since DE is even more experimental than Nightly? I think?)

Maybe this is a problem for the Shadowfox team. Ultimately, the solution I really want is native support for a full-fledged dark mode, with black or gray color for UI elements such as the context menu. If this isn't going to happen and Shadowfox is indeed the source of the issue, I'll gladly let them know. But I thought it would be good to share with Mozilla, and why not the community, too. (Feedback tool is down right now.)

The FireFox browser will store passwords for sites and load them as needed. However, some airline sites require user ID, last name, and password. FireFox does not seem to support all three fields. Is there a way to have FireFox enter all three fields on these sites?

Recently getting ads popping up on my android S6. I erased a few of the most recent aps and found one called Peel something or other. But the ads continue and pop up after entering my security code. I tried some blocking program but that didnt help or point me to the culprit. And I think the ads have something to do with yahoo although I dont have a yahoo ap on my phone. In the meanwhile I will try some other aps to block them. Thanks

I have a private network where a server still uses TLS1.0. Users currently have an option to continue to use the site by enabling support for TLS1.0/1.1. It will be a few months before we can migrate off the current server.

How long will this feature be supported where users can still access servers on old TLS?

Looking for a solution/work around to the new FF protocols which REFUSE exceptions, which has cut me off from streaming from LEGITIMATE web sites like https://news.stlpublicradio.org/ and other sites as well.

I have used FireFox since Netscape, but am now using Chrome which works fine.

Security is great, but when the security Trumps the ability to actually USE the web sites, then how is that different than just blocking the "offending" website.

You should ask yourselves why the FF market share is so low.

You guys need to come out of the clouds and smell the digital earth where most of us dwell. I love you all for what you do, but you seem to be blowing it. Please get it together.

I have enabled HTTPS-only to everywhere.

Unfortunately I have a site that I need to use for work. The site is only available over a VPN, so security isn't a huge concern to the site operators.

The really unfortunately part is that the webserver seems to be poorly configured. So if I go to "https://dumb-work-url.com" then it resolves, but then just shows me a 404 error. I really need just vanilla "http://dumb-work-url.com" to work. As far as I can tell the override option that is on the padlock only works if I land on the functioning page.

I can disable HTTPS-only, and then go to the site, but then the padlock doesn't give me the option to disable HTTPS-only for just that website. I'd really rather keep HTTPS-only on all the time since I'll need to be visiting this site quite a bit.

I need a way to add this url to an HTTPS-only "off" exception list before I visit it. Is there a way to do that?

on the https site, I turned off HTTPS-only (under the padlock), but that setting either isn't working, or isn't applying to the http version.

cant log unto wpt poker site since last update by firefox can you please help [email-removed] thanks

Firefox Firstly, let me start by acknowledging the wonderful work the team of volunteers do to in producing an FREE excellent browser for which I have been a fan since your inception. However, unfortunately Firefox has been caught up in the hysteria of the planet over security issues with the Internet.

Undoubtedly there are such issues, just as they currently are with Covid 19 such issues, but the solution to Covid 19 is not to carpet bomb the whole of the planet - but, in actual fact that is what Firefox is now doing with websites security.

I build websites for a hobby and currently have published about 50 over the last 20 years , many of those are informational only sites. So, there is no exchange of data, so no avenue for any security breach or for damage to be done to either my website any visitors computer or the server upon which my websites resolves.

My first website was published in 1998 even way back then we all knew that you approached any website with caution. However with a bit of due diligence it was possible to make a reasonable judgement as to the nature of validity of the website and those that constituted some risk and those that constituted none.

One of the websites I publish is goofygoogle.com. I have had this website since I purchased the domain in 2001. The website is informational only, however despite the fact it has been around for that period of time and you can find out who the domain owner in any WHOIS search, for the first time ever Firefox is now telling their browser user/visitors “Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead”.

This, is in spite of the fact there is NO potential security risk 'Ahead' -AT ALL, in visiting this site.

Can we please wind back the hysteria or egotism or whatever else is the basis for this overreaction OR if we don’t want to do that, can we please get even smarter so that we actually can interrogate the site properly to determine if there actually is a “Potential Security Risk Ahead” before we ‘slander’ it?

I’m in your hands

Thank you

Today I found out that Many apps on my system work in the background and slowing down my machine. I enlisted the consulting assistants of an expert and was told that the biggest are Adobe and Microsoft. I had a cleaning done to my system and the results were amazing. I disable Apps I didn't need, uninstall App I did not use in a long time and disable services that did not provided me with any substantive experience or improvement in productivity. The results were amazing. My system was running faster than I have ever seen it run, including the first year after I purchase it. Well, about 2 hours later, I got this notification from Microsoft saying that I have to enable these optional services because Edge would make it better for me to serve the web and have a custom experience and get tailored adds based on my activity. If I had a choice I would pick No Adds. After I read their notification that I had difficulty reading and understanding little of it, I felt pressure to signed up with Edge as my browser. These services were eating my resources like there was no tomorrow and were effecting my productivity level. Microsoft's notification included a screen shot of the changes I did today in my settings with the disable buttons in Privacy and Personalization areas. I have all the required setting about diagnostics, etc. enabled, is there anything I can do to prevent them from using me like a cheap prostitute? Can they shot my account down for that? Is there any other OS providers I could get?

i have just deleted all firefox files on my computer and re-install it after that i trusted that all my information can be restored just by signing-in with my account and for some reason i put my password and it didn`t sign me in so i tried resetting my password after that i look at my passwords & Logins and it all was GONE ! i made most of my accounts with the random password service that FireFox provides So is there ANY way that i can contact mozilla to bring my important information back PLEASE ?

Hi, i need to disable the warning "In order to display this page, the data sent by Firefox must be resent ..." on reloading a page for load tests on my application. Is there a way to disable the warning? maybe a flag in the configuration? about:config

Best Regards,

Hi, folks. Firefox (87.0) has just started blocking my popups on gmail even though I have an exception for mail.google.com. (I can no longer compose/edit a message in a new window, for example.) - I can't choose to "allow popups for mail.google.com," as that option is grayed out (likely since I already have that exception in place), and if I choose to "show" the window, it isn't functional (just blank). - I tried starting in Firefox Safe Mode (extensions disabled) and have the same trouble. -If I edit my popup blocker settings so that I'm not blocking _any_ popups, this does resolve the problem: gmail functions as it should. But of course I'd prefer to have a popup blocker in place for other sites. I welcome any wisdom. Thanks!

I can access the login page of the online course I am taking but cannot enter the course. It could be a firewall but I have no idea and neither does my husband. It started when he got a new lap top and linked/synced to our desktop.

As a security feature on a shared computer, I'm wondering how to restrict the ability to alter add-ons and I was hoping that there was a way to disable Safe Mode (aka Restart With Add-ons Disabled')
