When I try to access a function of my banks website I get the message: Authorization has been denied for this request

Late last year this occurred when using FireFox but not Chome or Edge. I have contacted my bank and was told I need to add an exception to the Manage Exceptions list. I did that and I was able to access that function of the site. Now the error is occurring again. This time I figured out what the URL was that needed be added. All other functions of the site work fine without these exceptions.

My question is: what are the security ramifications of this and what do I tell my bank so they fix this? Does this make their site less or more secure? Is it necessary to fix this?

Windows 11; FF 146.0.1. All updates installed.

The new built in VPN doesn't appear to work (tried in on bluesky to bypass age verification - im 31). Is there a way to find out which country it is placing us in?

There are urls saved in my firefox which are not listed under "Manage Bookmarks". At least one is my own bookmark i already deleted. All others seem to be basically advertisement. Urls i never visited and don`t want suggested to me. I do not use a firefox account and my settings are set to only suggest my bookmarks in the url bar. How to remove this Garbage?

Since updating Firefox from a previous version, the browser no longer displays any Unicode emoji characters. Where an emoji would normally be rendered (👁), the browser instead displays empty space. Websites such as twitter and discord, which use their own artwork for emoji, are unaffected. This has negatively affected my browsing experience.

For illustrative purposes, I will add a series of emoji and include a screenshot of how they are displayed: (😀🙁😡💀). Other characters still display correctly: (β❖♞䷲⎈𐘢𓀺இ). My computer otherwise displays emoji correctly. The issue persists after disabling extensions, and has persisted between computer restarts.

I am using Firefox version 147.0.4 (aarch64) on a Macbook Air running macOS Sequoia 15.5.

when I go to a web site I get an error msg saying You don't have permission to access "http://www.att.com/" on this server. why and what does it mean and how do i fix it?

On the new tab page I have set for 4 rows of shortcuts. In the fourth row I have 3 open spaces for tiles/shortcuts. There is no way to add the tiles whereas there was previously a tile that would show that said "+add shortcut". Given I have room in the row to add 3 shortcuts, how do I add tiles to allow for added shortcuts?

Nach dem letzten Update auf Version 150.0 wurde ich auf den integrierten VPN-Support hingewiesen. Eine Aktivierung ist nicht nöglich, da ich die Aufforderung zur Aktivierung nicht finde. Gehöre ich noch nicht zu denAuserwählten oder verstehe ich etwas falsch?

I've been using Firefox for a while, and while there are many things I like about it, it has always been a resource hog. In the past I could get around this by just killing Firefox in Windows Resource Manager and restarting, but ever since getting a new computer an upgrading to Windows 11, it's gotten worse. Every couple of days my computer freezes for 10 or more minutes, I'm having to do a hard reboot ever few days, and I'm even bluescreening about twice a month. I'm pretty sure Firefox is the culprit because killing it will usually resolve the issue.

I'm wondering if there is some way to put Firefox in a sandbox so it does not consume nearly all available memory and other computer resources. It is by far the biggest consumer of resources on my system and I do not want to dedicate 4GB+ of memory to an app that is just showing a couple of web pages and playing YouTube videos.
