Firefox 119/120, one two different Mac computers. One will show login information under the about:login, giving me a about:logins#****************** path or profile. The other computer does not have any of that information when viewing about:logins.

Both machines assigned to same account with Sync being active, also an iPhone and iPad on the account. Three of the four devices show the information.

A refresh of Firefox did not resolve the path issue.

How do I correct something like this, getting it pointed to the correct location so I can edit and manage these logins?

I started getting screen flashes and then identifying pop up windows that go to adform dot com addresses, that are blocked on my computer so nothing other than a error shows up. Its annoying and random. I have checked security page and it says Block pop-up windows and this is blocked. Two exemptions are there which are acceptable. I have run virus checks on Bitdefender and Malwarebytes (Latest versions update) nothing is reported. - What is causing this and how do I stop it? After opening up the hidden window that flashes it tries different pages all fail then eventually the pop up window closes on its own.

Using latest version of Firefox browser 117.0.1 (64 bit) Don't get the pop ups on Google Chrome.

I am using the web api for videogame controllers to make a web remote controller for a robot, i use django to host the server. When i access the ip of the Django server in firefox i get errors like: getGamepads is not a function or errors while trying to get gamepads from the navigator, but when i access through chrome this does not happen. These errors only happen while accessing through the django server, when i access through the local file or other pages in the web that use gamepad api there is no issue. Because of that i think that it has something to do with firefox tight security restrictions on http sites, but i can't find a way to grant permission to my page to work properly, i am willing to compromise in security since it's just going to be used locally

Firefox Suggest and Bookmarks Broken

Due to a recent update, Firefox has changed its search results in the URL search bar.

I used to be able to turn off ALL search suggestions other than bookmarks. However, now it shows expanded results based on my bookmarks that are actually NOT bookmarked pages.

NOTE: This appears as separate behavior from Firefox Suggest. However it is linked to the settings for Firefox Suggest. The heading "Firefox Suggest" in the URL bar provides the correct link.

For example, I have a single page bookmarked from wrapbook, but instead of suggesting that bookmark it suggests the root domain/homepage.

I have no interest or purpose in visiting that homepage, but hitting enter it will autofill to that page. This is super annoying as it's not in my history or bookmarks.

Turning off bookmarks completely in Firefox Suggest settings fixes this behavior, BUT it means I have no access to my bookmarks from the URL search bar. This makes it a 3 step process to open bookmarks then, and is a poor UX design.

I have copied my settings and example screens below for reference.

I'm using the current version 118.0.2 (64-bit). Windows 10 Pro x64

Previously I turned off all search suggestions and it worked correctly. Just FYI, I also whitelist all websites and use restricted/strict cookie settings. The only cookies that are retained between sessions are those that I manually add to the "exceptions" section of settings. All other history and cookies are cleared.

When I try to go on my bank's online site, I get this message. Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to onlinebanking.northwest.bank because this website requires a secure connection.

What can you do about it?

onlinebanking.northwest.bank has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

I've had this for a few months now and it's driving me crazy.

I have blocked reddit.com, http://www.reddit.com, https://www.reddit.com, I delete the cookies, it keeps coming back. So I finally deleted every trace of Firefox off my computer, deleting the library files, everything. I download a brand new copy of Firefox, start it up and within seconds have a reddit.com cookie. There are no reddit pages open, no tabs, no nothing.

Also, I keep reading that you can right-click or control-click on a cookie to inspect it but that does not work for me on FF 115.4. I cannot find any way to look at the cookie code in Firefox.

I'm on the verge of just giving up on Firefox at this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

OS: Ubuntu 23.10 Firefox version: 119.0 Mozilla Firefox Snap for Ubuntu

I have DNS over HTTPS enabled and set to Default Protection in Firefox.

According to the following article (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/dns-over-https?as=u&utm_source=inproduct#w_why-would-a-network-tell-firefox-not-to-use-secure-dns) DNS over HTTPS should automatically switch to "Not Active" when connected to a VPN.

I am using the NordVPN CLI for linux and have found that when I connect to the VPN, Firefox DNS over HTTPS stays active and does not switch to "Not Active" like it is supposed to.

Does anyone know why this might be happening?

I was using Lightspeed today, and the website pops up a confirmation dialog box (probably through JavaScript) so that you can confirm that you want to do a specific action. I got annoyed with the dialog and clicked the included "Don't allow this website to show prompts anymore" box when I hit OK. But now it won't perform any action that requires you to hit the OK in the prompt, so I need to make the dialogs come back so I can do my job. I can't find any setting anywhere in the browser that I have actually disabled or changed by hitting the box in that prompt.

Hi, I want to delete my acccount entirely and start fresh, I login to the website just fine, but when going to the "Delete Account" button I keep getting an "Incorrect Password" pop-up.

I've changed the password twice now, logged in just FINE, yet keep getting told I'm using the incorrect password when trying to delete my account.

I've tried on multiple different browsers now to delete the account and it's just not working.

I really wanted to swap over to Firefox but everytime I try, I get some insanely stupid issue that never ends up being resolved, I've found another thread from 2021 about this and they stated it never got fixed and they had to make a whole new email just to use the service.
