Hi I have a problem where some malware - opicle.go2cloud.org, has been installed on my Windows 10 PC. When you click on a link, the malware "intercepts" the website and in most instances returns a "404 Not Found error". I did think the problem may be with Windows, but I used Edge as a browser and it worked OK....indicating the problem is with Firefox.

I've checked enabled extensions and plugins and can't find anything. I've also looked online for help but no joy. Any help here is appreciated Thanks

Synchronization on other Firefox with "Key Sync"

Hello to all,

I'm a "beginner" on Mozilla sorry if my question seems stupid, moreover, English is not my mother tongue. Mozilla is my main browser since 12 years.

I had a 2011 mac (personal) on which I had a bunch of bookmarks and passwords saved since 2011. I had Sync enabled back then and have a Firefox Sync key (8 series of 4 numbers/letters). On another Mac (for work), much more recent, I also use Mozilla and I created an account (with my email address, the same one I probably used in 2011) as soon as I installed Mozilla.

I have the impression that in the meantime the way "Sync" works has changed (before with a key, now with a login/password).

My problem is the following : my personal Mac broke (impossible to turn it back on) and I would like to be able to recover my bookmarks by posting them on the new Mac (pro), but... I can't find anywhere where I could enter my Firefox Sync key. I can "log out of my account" or "connect another device" but nothing else. When I log out of my account, I can log back in but only an account with an email (the only thing it asks me is an email).

Would you have an idea how I can get my bookmarks back? I had a hundred of them, very well organized, for professional purposes and I really need them. How can I keep my account (with my email) and add my bookmarks saved on my Key Sync ? (if needed, I can migrate all my actual account (profesional) on Google Chrome and start again on Firefox with my Key Sync but, I can't find how..)

Thank you very much for your help and advice

I am trying to do some local web development, if I open an index file directly in Firefox it complains that the CORS request is not being made over HTTP. I know I can try and set up a local web server for development but that's beside the point.

According to this previous Mozilla post linked below I can set privacy.file_unique_origin to false, and it's suppose to override the security setting. This does not work for me, setting it to false and closing all browsers and testing the HTML file again, I still see the CORS error. Is this setting now useless in the newest version of Firefox? Is there a different config setting I need to adjust?

Firefox dies during upgrade process and can no longer be opened

Hi,

While using Firefox just now on Windows 7 as a limited user, it crashed. So far as I'm aware, my version was up to date as of yesterday or so.

When I reopened Firefox after the crash, I checked the About menu item which said that Firefox needed to be restarted to be updated. Doing so disabled the program and I cannot open it.

So I downloaded the installer thinking that I'd have to do a clean install. When I ran "Firefox Installer.exe", it said that Firefox needed to be updated and said it would do that. I have tried that twice now, and both times the updater got about 75% through and just died. I still cannot access Firefox and when I try to run it through the Start/Run menu, I get a message saying that "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You many not have the appropriate permissions to access the item". I have tried looking in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox and can see firefox.exe, but it will not run and gives me the same "Windows cannot access..." complaint. I tried running it as administrator, and got the same complaint.

I have copied the contents of install.log into the troubleshooting information area below on this page. I tried to copy installation telemetry.json into the same form, but it wouldn't paste into the box and opened a new tab instead.

At this moment, I don't see a way around doing a clean install. That will be a pain in the ass as I had a lot of context open, and would rather not have to reconstruct that, but I see no choice at this moment.

Any suggestions that you have will be greatly appreciated.

Greg

While attempting to do a clean install, I started to uninstall Firefox and was given a message saying something like "Firefox must be restarted complete an update." I tried to cancel the uninstall but could see no way of doing so. I closed the control panel item and I restarted my computer. Firefox came back up and now says that it's up to date.

Perhaps the installer really was finished but neglected to tell me a restart of the computer was required. I'm quite certain that no such message was given and Task Manager told me that the installer was no longer running after what appeared to be two failed attempts to update Firefox.

I'm still confused by what happened, but am happy to report I can now drive on (93 minutes later) and my context wasn't lost. ;-)

I tried to register at link text and when I entered my email addy it told me that email address is already in use. I tried my secondary email addy and was told same thing. I don't remember username and for that matter, don't remember a previous registration. So how can I contact admin at site or who do I contact to resolve issue or what do I so now?

So I had a crazy number of bookmarks, many duplicates. I did a major cleanup of dupes. I now see about 20 "other Bookmarks" folders in my MENU. I tried consolidating them, moving their order in the list, deleting, etc. The act like a ghost in the machine.

Lots of strange behavior: If I drag to reposition, it makes a duplicate, they multiply on their own....

I use my sessions and wonder if it somehow related. I don't want an others bookmarks showing up in my list, I'm grouping via folders according to what i want to see, and other bookmarks ain't it. Especially unruly multiples of such. All I have found was how to hide on the bookmarks toolbar, which I do not like, nor use.

Thank You Kevin

The website below is one that my entire company uses on a daily basis and towards the end of last week, all of us using Firefox noticed that we can no longer access this site while inside our own network. Our IT team is unable to find a setting to change or an exemption to add to allow us to use this site.

Is there anything that can be done to have Firefox accept this site's certificate?
