Are there any plans to make configuration of the setting "network.proxy.system_wpad" available via ADMX (grouppolicy under Windows)? We need to deploy this to 100 computers ans I still have no idea how.

Feature was introduced in FF 125: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-enterprise-125-release-notes We currently use 128.4.0esr.

Thanks, Torsten.

Metamask extension is not properly loading- opening the extension that should lead to the PW/login screen only shows a loading/spinning wheel with the MM-Fox logo. Any idea why this might be happening and any solutions would be immensely appreciated. Using the latest version. have tried toggling ext on/off, and other simple troubleshoot. For context. there is not the same issue on other browsers, even on Firefox on other PC. Could this be related to a PC component? Have experienced frequent tab crashes lately after upgrading my CPU- garbage 14th gen intel that's crashed a few times. what PC settings could be playing a role? BIOS settings default- no overclock or other mod. I have (2) firefox's on my pc- one downloaded from Mozilla, and the other from MSFT app store. MSFT app has no issues and functions fine. Appreciate any help. Happy New Year

Since I updated firefox, something has been wrong. Twice now it's like the browser has just stopped working. When I use google, and I change the search. The page html keeps changing back and forth between the two pages.

What's worse, is that the connection stops working. I can't get any of the pages to load. I thought it was the WIFI connection but then I started using Microsoft Edge and it's fine. It's not the WIIF. It's the FIREFOX MOZILLA browser that is not letting me load the pages. Which is annoying as hell because I use YouTube a lot and the videos won't play. Or stop loading in the middle. There has to be something that can be done about this.

Everytime when going to youtube with firefox, I get language "dansk" instead of "german" or "swiss german". My firefox: 132.0.2 (64-bit). My language setting in firefox: german My language setting in Windows 11: swiss german

this is very annoying, because I first have to change on the youtube page the language to "german" in order to understand the menu.

In Google Chrome youtube behaves normally.

Hi, FF updated to version 134.0.1 and the password generator is gone. I checked, the web page does uses correctly input type="password", but when I right click on the input form field, it doesn't have the usual "suggest secure password" anywhere. In about:config, the signon.generation options are all set to true. Any ideas, how can I generate a secure password without any external tools? Thx.

For no apparent reason I suddenly found that I could no longer browse via duckduckgo or Google (but could through Edge!). The on-screen response just informed that the sites were not available. I had no idea what could have caused this but a Microsoft fault search identified it is a DNS problem. I prefer to use the duckduckgo and need to resolve the DNS situation. Is this a Firefox problem, and if so, how do I fix it while still maintaining security?
