Tracking Protection

I recently encountered an issue when attempting to login to The Coventry Building Society website using Firefox (desktop PC & Windows 10):- https://www.coventrybuildingsociety.co.uk/ It failed to display the page used to enter the one time passcode used for two factor authentication.

After looking on some forums I discovered this is because 'Strict' tracking protection was enabled. If I change to 'Custom' and uncheck 'Tracking Content' then things work as expected.

I also read on a forum that you can leave tracking protection set to 'Strict' but enter the URL for the problem website under 'Enhanced Tracking Protection -> Manage Exceptions'. I tried entering 'https://www.coventrybuildingsociety.co.uk/' Initially this appeared to work. However, when I tried it again the following day, the page failed to load as before. I had to change back from 'Strict' to 'Custom' and uncheck 'Tracking Content' once again. It's as if the exception URL is ignored in 'Strict' mode.

Am I doing something wrong or is this how it is supposed to work? Do I need to click on the shield icon (to the left of the padlock icon) and turn off 'Enhanced Tracking Protection' every time I visit the website?

I was reading about CSS custom variables at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_cascading_variables/Using_CSS_custom_properties, and noticed that the example at "Using @property to control inheritance" does not work as described in the latest Firefox (115.21.0esr, 64-bit. on Windows laptop).

More specifically, both the parent and child divs come our in green, but the child div is supposed to come out in cornflowerblue.

Although it is not affecting me yet (I haven't decided whether to use this particular CSS feature), I was wondering if the issue was known.

I am trying to log into the indian evisa (indianvisaonline.gov.in) website to print off an ETA (Electronic Travel Authorisation) and when logging into the site I am getting a warning saying potential security risk ahead


Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to indianvisaonline.gov.in. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.

What can you do about it?

The issue is most likely with the web site, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it.

If you are on a corporate network or using antivirus software, you can reach out to the support teams for assistance. You can also notify the web site’s administrator about the problem.

I do not know what to do for the best

automatic request to enter primary pw when I open Firefox

Until I installed the latest update (136.0.1) I could open Firefox and navigate, never having to log into PW manager until I came to a site where I had to log in and use a saved PW. I have many sites where my login is remembered, and I don't have to log in, so this isn't needed most of the time.

Now EVERY time I open Firefox that request for my primary PW pops up and I have to hit CANCEL twice to clear it before I can to anything. It's an annoying pain in the tush.

How do I turn this off, or set it so that that pops up ONLY when I have to log into a site?

Latest update of Win 10 3/15/25

Thanks.

I am trying to login to email service tuta.com. Due to malicious actors, the site is being blocked by Firefox when it should NOT be. Malicious actors have made false reports to create a DDOS on Tuta. When I try to connect to the site I get this message: "Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue"

How do I tell Firefox to stop blocking this site as there is NOT a security issue.
