Windows Security popup blocks user input

As WIN11 Pro administrator, using Firefox desktop 132.0.1, a popup saying "Windows Security - Do you want to allow public and private networks to access app? firefox.exe"

This popup blocked all user input except to click on the popup. That behavior is suspicious, so I used ctrl-alt-delete to close it - but no user input was allowed because the Task Manager was behind the modal full-screen popup. I manually shutdown (uncontrolled crash) rather than click on it. I suspect this popup is normal behavior, though I've never seen or heard of it before. Not all software plays fair after all. Nothing to report from perfmon.msc > reliability report. But we live in a software minefield, and I can't find record of anyone stepping on this mine before. If anyone has seen or heard of similar please make a comment. Thank you guys!

Good afternoon, I have recently swapped back to Firefox and would like to install the Online Insights Study extension but it is getting blocked for "stability or security problems." This is a Google product, so I was wanting to reach out to see if I could get a further explanation as to why this might be getting blocked, or as to why I cannot allow it to be used on Firefox, but can on Chrome?

I'm on version 131 on Linux. Even if I clear the hisotry entries in Ctr+H or Library Window->History tab, the search bar history still remains and I can view all my searches by clicking in the search bar and typing Ctr+Z. This history is only cleared when I close the browser and open it back up again.

Can anyone else reproduce this problem?

How can I just straight up disable this search bar history and how can I clear it without doing Clear Browsing data and cookies -> Everything?

Hallo Wenn ich in Firefox eine Seite Öffne kommt sofort eine Betrugsversuchsmeldung von meinem Bitdefender Internet Security Programm. Inzwischen fast 500 mal seit 14 Tagen. Es handelt sich immer um die selbe Seite.

Habe die Seite am Router Und im PC  gesperrt. Hat nicht geholfen. Außer 2 Abstürze in den vergangenen Tagen kann ich jedoch keine Fehler oder sonstiges feststellen. Schon seit längerer Zeit kann ich mit Fierefox nicht mehr auf mein Bitdefender Central einwählen.

Hier die Copy der Meldung.

I have an overactive spam folder. I have added numerous websites/emails to my contact list several times and these senders are still sent to the spam folder. I have to check spam and inbox folders for my legit emails. I have used FF for years and not had this problem! It is making me want to change my settings and forget FireFox!

I had a problem some months ago and my filters were compromised, so I was put on hundreds of mailing lists from commercial sites all over the world. I still get a new one once in a while, but there's one persistent one that doesn't have an 'unsubscribe' option and--despite repeatedly marking it as 'Spam' and trying to block it via a filter STILL keeps getting thru, generally an email or two about their products per day. Is there any way to report these people as a nuisance or block them totally? The problem isn't earth-ending but it is Vexing. Thanks.

On firefox, pop ups persistently appear in the top right at random times saying to update firefox, and sometimes pop ups in the lower left when browsing like today offered bing extension this morning. Pop ups FROM FIREFOX ITSELF are absurd annoying and unacceptable. How can I set it to ABSOLUTELY NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE pop up a message or notification of any kind?

Bonjour, Les boutons d'acceptation de cookies ne sont pas actifs et par conséquent les vidéos sur le site "Le Monde" via Firefox ne sont pas accessibles (cf capture d'écran). J'ai pourtant géré dans les exceptions le site "Le Monde.fr" mais il s'agit en l'occurrence d'autoriser la catégorie "contenus tiers" et je ne les connais pas individuellement. Comment procéder? Merci de votre aide. Cordialement.

Hello The cookie acceptance buttons are not active and therefore the videos on the "Le Monde" site via Firefox are not accessible (cf picture). I have managed the "Le Monde.fr" site in the exceptions but in this case it is a question of authorizing the category "third-party content" and I do not know them individually. How do I do it? Thank you for your help. Kind regards.

Since the update I've had a few issues, most I was able to fix but this one eludes me. Opening up various news sites I get the "Firefox prevented this page from reloading" error at the top and clicking allow does nothing. Anyone know how to get around this error? I'm not looking to totally disable the FF feature that prevents other pages from loading a different one, but just to browse the website after hitting 'allow'.

Thanks in advance.

I'd like to name my windows without including the name of any tab in that window. Window Titler extension does not allow users to exclude the title. This should be a native feature to Firefox and work as cleanly as Chrome's naming feature. Is there a way to perform this action?
