Firefox Support Forum

Firefox is asking for a password but I dont have one, (using a 2012 imac). I'm locked out of using my computer. Started 3 days ago and I entered 3 false passwords which opened a window allowing me to quit but now it doesnt matter how many false passwords I enter it wont allow me to access my computer.

Yes, I know I was only just complaining about all my logins being lost when I start firefox. This is (to me) a different question.

Ok, I get it, security is important and remaining logged in is usually a good idea. But as I am one person and it is my machine......

But there is a twist to this.

Places like shops / e-bay / amazon / etc.....

I log into them, do my stuff, and close the tab/window.

The log ins are kept.

(Side story) I seldom / never "quit" Firefox. As is, I turn on the machine. If/when needed I start firefox and that's that. When I'm done I just shut down the machine. (firefox still "running".)

Next time I turn on and start firefox, things are as I left them.

That is the ideal situation for me.

I've since discovered that there are a few ways to "exit" firefox.

FILE/QUIT quits firefox. Menu/QUIT does the same. But if I go through and close the windows: that's a whole other story. Likewise if I go out of firefox, RMB on the icon and say QUIT.

So, how do I make sure that if/when I close a tab (I'll keep it at that level as that is what is logged into the site, not necessarily the window) the cookies are wiped?

In the settings/privacy / TRACKING I have CUSTOM set, with all the boxes ticked. DO NOT TRACK is set to ALWAYS Alas (due to local reasons) I have Don’t enable HTTPS-Only Mode set.

What am I missing? Thanks in advance.

Total Webshield. Is it a legitimate product that you recommend? I’ve been told about this product. Do you recommend it for your Firefox users? Many scams now so I’m just checking. Thanks Sophia Valente

Entire screen taken over by what I think is a Bogus security alert. Claims to be Apple Platform Security - *** ACCESS TO THIS PC HAS BEEN BLOCKED*** ... it has been infected with a Trojan Spyware This is followed by phone numbers to "contact Mac Support - 1-833-798-2936— (plus another number)" I have contacted Apple and APPLE SAYS: they would never send such a notice. IMPORTANT: This only occurs on FIREFOX. It won't go away when I shut down or even if I erase and reload Firefox app. NOTE: It does NOT happen with Safari.

Hi Firefox team Hope you are doing well. Having been using FIREFOX for ages, continue to use it and tell others to use it.

For the last couple of days encountering a problem. I regularly visit www.tribalfootball.com website to read soccer news. Never had any issue. For the last two days, when I go to www.tribalfootball.com, the home page of the site comesup, but then automatically takes me to https://duta.in/tribalfootball-iframe.php after few seconds. Whatever I do to get back to tribalfootball site home page, it again takes me to duta.in website.

Don't know why this is happening and also don't know how to fix it. Uninstalled FIREFOX from my macbook and installed again but the issue still remains. Any help from you would be great. Note that I don't see this issue in Safari browser.

Thanks, Kumara

This will be brief.

Can I rename the .corrupt file to restore my logins and passwords? This seems to have occurred during the last update. I am have heart palpitations. I have no other backups.

I have two .corrupt files created at the same time (see image), but their appear identical. This is odd. Does this even matter.

thanks for your help,

Liz

Hi Colleen,

I’m not able to log into my Bold App to review recurring customer subscription orders using Shopify.

It says that I can't open it because my browser does not allow third party cookies.

How do I change my settings so that I can view third party cookies on Firefox?

Hello, I tried to sign in to my firefox account on a new computer and it appears the rules for password format have changed such that my existing password is too short to be used. How should I proceed to either sign in or reset my password without affecting my existing firefox browsers and lockwise app? Thank you.

How do i protect cookies from being deleted in mozilla firefox? I have one account that "doesn't recognize my device" when I enter my user name and password, and requires them to contact me with a code every time I try to log in...It is very annoying!!

this msg has blocked me for 2 or 3 weeks, whats up? - - - Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to r20.rs6.net. The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

Problem: different areas of the same domain requires unique passwords. eg example.com/admin1/ user: name example.com/admin2/ user: name

The user name is the same for both, are fixed and cannot be changed.

When I log in to admin1/ but then need to log in to admin2/ Firefox thinks I am updating my password used in admin1/ .

I have read question 1280159 (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1280159) which only partially solves it IF the user name can be modified.

How can i solved this without accidentally losing my password/s ?

Hi, I got a new computer and need to sign in to my account but can't remember my long, auto-generated PW. How can I reset with out losing all my data? Is it possible to talk to a human on the phone? thanks, Tyler

Hello... EVERY time I try to sign into my Yahoo email, I have to go through hoops to actually get there. When I click the box that says ...never ask on this device again, your system ignores it. This "Added Security" is not helpful. nor is it adding any security to anything. All you are doing is making me look for other web browsers. Google Chrome does not do this. Safari does not do this. Opera does not do this. I do not need to be contacted via text message, OR ANY OTHER WAY, to gain access to MY email account. Stop holding me hostage!!

Please tell me how to get rid of this absolutely horrible "feature."
