Ever since updating Firefox to version 115.1, I have an issue with correct accessing to banking website through an additional Firefox tab, secured by antivirus software. In my case it is ESET Internet Security. Normally once I tried to access a banking website on Firefox, antivirus automatically put me through to a secured tab. Since the update, it's not happening and the only way to do it is to force antivirus to used that security addon on all websites, not just those selected in the program. I see no reason to use it apart from banking websites. I would like to point out that other browsers I have tried don't have that problem. And it's definitely not a problem with antivirus software, since there were no changes or updates to ESET software between period when Firefox received updates. I have also tried out a beta release of Firefox (116) and the problem is present there as well.

I am waiting for your feedback. Thank you in advance. Michał Baranowski

hi!

i always have to type in my email for desktop twitter log in, although both login ID and passwords are saved as autofill.

the password pops up, but how do i have my ID (email) pop up as well?

many thanks!

So it used to be that when I started typing in the address bar, it would autofill with my most visited site after the first letter or two, which was very handy and a good feature. Since an update a while back, though, that seems to have been replaced with autofilling whatever the most popular search is. I used to be able to just hit p and go automatically to a site I frequently visit, but now it automatically sends me to pinterest. I don't have pinterest. I don't want or like pinterest. I filter pinterest out of my searches. There's absolutely no reason for my search bar to be autofilling to pinterest. I've already got sponsored suggestions disabled so it's not that.

I'm getting really tired of accidentally going to pinterest due to muscle memory (and, presumably, reinforcing that suggestion by accident). Haven't been able to find a setting that turns it off. Would really, really like to.

i have completely uninstalled Firefox to include deleting folder from local, locallow and roaming. however i didn’t remove any register entries. the purpose of this total removal was to try and rid myself of whatever is in the system which will not let establish a default page of that it other than something called dgs.dl. please assist me.

HI,

Can anyone shed some light on this website (Flplayer.net) that wants to automatically load after a refresh? It just hangs and never opens but it seem suspicious.

Thank you.

Hi,

I am implementing passkeys for my website (navigator.credentials.create). For testing purposes, I created passkey with a displayName (publicKey.user.displayName) of "5" . Everything words like a charm on my desktop.

Now, on my firefox Android app, it always suggests to use that credential. However as I deleted it on the server, I also want to delete it in the app.

How can I do so?

Thank you Daniel

Tôi không thể truy cập vào Gmail để kiểm tra khi dùng Mozilla Firefox? Khi truy cập vào Gmail thì chỉ hiện trang có thông báo như sau: "Không kết nối: Sự cố bảo mật tiềm ẩn

Firefox phát hiện một mối đe dọa bảo mật tiềm năng và không tiếp tục đến mail.google.com vì trang web này yêu cầu kết nối an toàn.

Bạn có thể làm gì về nó?

mail.google.com có chính sách bảo mật được gọi là HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), có nghĩa là Firefox chỉ có thể kết nối với nó một cách an toàn. Bạn không thể thêm ngoại lệ để truy cập trang web này.

Vấn đề rất có thể xảy ra với trang web và bạn không thể làm gì để giải quyết nó.

Nếu bạn đang sử dụng mạng công ty hoặc sử dụng phần mềm chống vi-rút, bạn có thể liên hệ với nhóm hỗ trợ để được trợ giúp. Bạn cũng có thể thông báo cho quản trị viên của trang web về sự cố.

I work with Keller Williams real estate and the company has launched new products that employees access through the KW network. I cannot access these programs. The company network displays, "disable the ad blocker". My work is generated thru the company campaigns, so I must access the company network.

        My Firefox ad blocker on my laptop is interfering with my work interface. I need to be able to enter the                 company network. How can I disable the ad blocker?

Hi,

to get rid of old remains in my very firefox portable installation, I decided to install FF from scratch. After the installation, I installed some add-ons + imported settings for umatrix and ublock origin + imported my backuped bookmarks. Now, I was checking the cookies settings, because I want to have most of them deleted after closing ff. I realized, that there are cookies from sites, which I didn't visit since the new installation. And no, I don't think that these are third party cookies, which were set during the visit of other sites, because those sites are for sure don't interact with other sites for merchandising reasons etc. The sites are also not to be found in the "History". I just installed FF three days ago. I'll deactivate the "history", too.

Does anybody has a clue how it come, that I have such cookies in my list?

Many thanks

Though i did not log into any sites recentl, the status for all my saved logins indicate they were last used either yesterday or the day before. How can this be? Have they been compromised?

Hello and great work so far Firefox team!

Currently, Firefox can be used in Windows from the command line to open any URL (start firefox www.google.com). Since any browser is expected to have Internet access to any website or IP address, this is a real security concern in case of default deny security for firewall outbound traffic.

Here is a hacker scenario: The PC has a list of whitelist applications allowed to connect to the Internet. This prevents lots of malware from connecting to their remote servers. However, malware can bypass that by listening on localhost and requesting Firefox to open the remote server. This way the malware sends and receives data with the server using Firefox after requesting an URL with the malware local port specified as query parameter.

This can be avoided with a special about:config option that completely disables command line processing. I don't know if that's entirely possible, but preventing Firefox to start URLs from command line or explicitly requesting Internet access for static HTML files should be enough.

Note: I use NoScript and that helps in this case, but it is not a bullet proof solution. It may be possible that one of the CDN I have allowed gets hacked with malicious JavaScript. If the malware is already on the PC, it can connect to the remote server using the hacked CDN that is allowed in NoScript. This is a two piece attack, but I still think that using Firefox to access to random URL from command line is dangerous and should have an option to be turned off.
