My primary email that I used for my FireFox account was discontinued years ago and I no longer have access to it. I need to add my new email address, but the settings will not allow me to until I input the confirmation code that is sent to my discontinued email address. How do I fix this?

I frequently need to access a Hi-Fi device on my local ethernet network from https://www.skytune.net For example ... http://192.168.1.68/ or http://192.168.1.62/ (The last 2 digits of the IP change from time to time)

Recently, I keep getting unnecessary security alerts - Any idea why? I have use https only disabled.

I could be with skytune's certificate. I have done everything I can to bypass these errors.

The Disable Protection For Now option seems to be unavailable if the latest Firefox.

Clearing history doesn't seem to work

I use private browsing mode exclusively. For years I've used Tools > Settings > Privacy & Security > Clear Data > Clear > Clear Now to clear the history, cache, cookies and so on during a session without having to close the browser, or so I thought. However, yesterday I ran into a situation (dealing with tech support for software) where it became painfully obvious that that process was NOT clearing out the history. So, a couple of questions:

1. Why, why, does it take 6 clicks to do that, instead of, say, just one click on a button on the toolbar?

2. Why didn't that clear out everything?

3. Where can I look to see whether all that stuff is cleared?

Thanks.

I am using Tor nowadays because I get a trojan horse or other possible threats, every time using Firefox. I use ClamTk on my HP computer with Linux Mint 21.1 installed.

These are the 3 files that usually turn up after a full scan with ClamTk:

Mozilla Firefox PUA.Win.Trojan.Xored-1 Mozilla Firefox PUA.Html.Exploit.CVE_2012_ Mozilla Firefox PUA.win.Exploit.CVE_2012_none

I found out when my website turned out to be hacked, so I installed the ClamTk virus scanner.

Just to let you know so you might find a solution.

Thanks, Frank

How do I get Firefox to stop suggesting my email address, city, state or other information on lines for logins or applications? I have turned off all the autofill selections in security and privacy and it still offers suggestions. I don't want any suggestions AT ALL.

Hi. I don't normally have a problem presenting my Spanish tax online, using an electronic certificate.

However, yesterday I got the following Error 403 message (in Spanish) : "Identification error. Electronic certificate is not detected or has not been selected correctly. If you have an electronic certificate, check that it is correctly installed in the browser"

I have checked that the certificate is loaded on the browser, that it is valid, and I have validated with the FNMT, which reports that it is working normally, so, why does my browser not recognise/detect the certificate.

Without resolving this issue I cannot make my tax declaration.

I would really appreciate any suggestions, please

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone can help me here. I use Google Fi to make and receive calls from my browser. I accidentally denied microphone permissions to Google Fi from the Firefox dropdown prompt and I cannot find how to get it back.

When I click the dropdown menu, I see no options to enable or disable permissions. I also do not see anything listed in the Security settings of the browser. When I check the google fi settings, I see it complaining about denied permissions though.

I've attached screenshots. Does anyone know where I can revoke the blocked permissions?

Thanks,

We have set up exceptions for mail.google.com and accounts.google.com in Settings. Yet, Gmail is still asking for passwords to log in and saving them. I thought I had done all it would take to have Gmail remember them. Am I missing something?

Also, we cleared cache.

Thank you, Meg

I was previously able to connect to my local NAS using the server name, but now cannot. I verified that the server certificate error exception is still listed.

Here is the text of the error message I receive:

"Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site. We can’t connect to the server at [server name redacted]. Did you mean to go to www.[server name redacted].com? If you entered the right address, you can:

   Try again later
   Check your network connection
   Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall)"

I am able to connect using the IP address.
