Hello,

These two programs claim they can recover deleted history, including passwords that you entered in incognito mode:

https://recoverhdd.com/investigate-browsing-activities/

https://www.starusrecovery.com/data_restore/software-web-detective/

My computer currently isn't available for me to use, so I can't verify it, but you should see if they are being honest and if they are, you should deal with the issue.

Thanks in advance.

I enjoy Firefox, however I've recently realized that hackers are using the Firefox browser to attack and enter my system, despite a firewall and VPN and even in private browser. I've been forced to cease use of the Firefox browser and decided to bring this to your attention after realizing that this surely will become widespread if not already. Is Firefox aware of such attacks and if so what are you doing about it and when do you think I will be able to safely use your browser again? Also I'm open to explore any suggested setting that may help with the security of your browser. Thanks.

When using Google Meet, you are given the option to share your screen — either the entire screen, or a specific Firefox window.

I've noticed, however, that no matter what Firefox window is used, if you access an extension that creates a pop-up dialog, such as the Container selection button from Conex, the uBlock origin settings popup for each webpage, or a password manager pop-up such as Bitwarden, those popups will appear on the shared window, even if you decide to do this from another Firefox window altogether.

This is a major security concern for me, as I've had circumstances where the password entry window for Bitwarden will appear on any window, even if I open the extension pop-up from a window not being shared to Google Meet. I'm not sure where to submit this issue, so I'm starting from the Mozilla support page and going from there. Would appreciate anyone's help on getting this issue resolved. Thank you.

This has happened to me several times and I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, but then it happens again weeks, months later. It says to contact Mozilla for a correct certificate but how do I do that. There's no instructions on how to do this. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.

Help continuously mentions something about clicking a "shield" to the left of the address bar, yet my up to date Firefox shows no "shield" anywhere i can find. Has an update obviated the need for it, and if so, do we have updated help files to reflect the new control for security, vpn and cookie usage?

Windows 11 x64, Firefox 110.0.1. HTTPS-only mode disables. OCSP enabled. I've tried playing around with these flags, nothing works.

  • security.certerrors.mitm.auto_enable_enterprise_roots
  • security.certerrors.mitm.priming.enabled
  • security.ssl.enable_ocsp_stapling
  • security.insecure_field_warning.contextual.enabled
  • security.certerrors.permanentOverride
  • network.stricttransportsecurity.preloadlist
  • security.enterprise_roots.enabled

Do not recommend me to click Advanced -> Accept the Risk and Continue. I want to disable the warning forever for all the hosts. For example, Chrome supports flag --ignore-certificate-errors, I need something like this.

Hello!

So a while back I deleted (shift-delete or ctrl-delete, whichever it is) an auto-complete address from preferences. Turns out I kinda need it back and I shouldn't have deleted it... Is there a way to get that address back into the auto-complete list? I've tried adding it as a bookmark, but that didn't seem to help. Ideas? Or is it gone forever..

Thanks! J

I am using Firefox to interact with Babbel language software. I cannot get Firefox to allow me to use my standalone microphone. I tried all the Firefox recommended fixes, but I cannot make them work. I go to the "Microphone" permission setting. There is nothing listed there and it will "not" allow me to add the Babbel website? What do I need to do to allow my microphone to work with Babbel?

Computer: Apple MAC 27" 2017 model with a 3.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 Processor Software: macOS Monterey Version 12.4 Babbel: Latest software application downloded May 26, 2022 Firefox: Downloaded May 30, 2022 Microphone: JOUNIVO Voice Microphone JV-601Pro (Connected to MAC via USB Connector)

Thank You, William A.

Would be nice if someone from Mozilla could build this into the browser, so users can easily change their Time Zone.

( Timezone Difference: The time zone of your browser is UTC while your request IP location timezone is different. )

Currently have privacy.resistFingerprinting on which is giving website the UTC time zone. How do I change this without disabling the setting.

Can I go into About:Config and add a new timezone?? that the Javascript request will find.
