I am satandalone user win 10 am administrator for my personal pc Firefox has been hacked and says it is managed by my organization. Norton nor bitdefender can get rid of the malware that has done this. Is there a patch or malware fixing bit of software that can clean this infection from my computer please. Chrome has the same problem so I have had to uninstall it an forget about it.

Googling the problem just comes up with all sorts of unintelligible to me tecky stuff Im not going near.

I see on the forums this is huge problem no one seems to have easy answer for.

Why does Firefox not have a version without this vulnerability for the millions of standalone personal users. Regards Mike Milletr

Recently my HBO max started to not load on firefox... I've tried the usual suspects, cleared cache and cookies multiple times, but when trying to pick a profile, just a black screen loads. Nothing happens.

Picture below, every logged link of the site is like this, i can only access links before login, like answers/support/ads,campaigns etc. Those kind of pages load.

Also, sometimes, when accessing the site through search engines, the site loads, but on a different profile than the one I use, but when trying to switch profiles, the same thing happens again, nothing loads.

Firefox quite often will remove, replace, add, or layer text as I use it. It has been doing this since I first downloaded it, and I haven't had it for long. (I will say that it isn't the first program I've seen do this. the only other program I've seen do this is Zotero.) I'm not doing anything weird with it, it just happens as I use it. Some of the screenshots I've submitted are of what I'm literally typing right now.

I've tried using troubleshoot mode, but it works just fine when I'm using troubleshoot mode, so I can't appropriately use that mode.

On the Save Page As dialog on Linux, how do I edit the choices of where to save?

The stock options are Home, Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Pictures, Videos, and + Other Locations.

I don't use most of these directories, but I do use two dozen others. Navigating to them using Other Locations is painfully slow; it would be ok if I could then save the location I've navigated to, but I haven't found a way to do that, and clicking one path element at a time for 6 element paths over and over gets old quickly.

Typing the path I want either nukes the default filename, or else it tries to match the filename string from the URL in the target directory, which doesn't show me existing directory contents.

Thanks for any clues...

Hi, I have a large number of tabs and also have pinned tabs. When I click a link outside of Firefox (FF is my default browser) it always opens them at the end of my tabs (on the far right). I would prefer that the newly opened links open at the beginning of my tabs (the far left) but just after my pinned tabs. Is there a was to do this?

Thanks!

Dear Anyone.

Trying to download Tampermonkey for Firefox. I'm NOT very good at computers, be nice! Every time I click on the "Add Tampermonkey to Firefox" button, I get "You are not online. Please check your internet connection." and it won't download it.

I AM on the Internet, tried it just now before coming here and it still won't believe I'm online. Everything else does. Why won't Tampermonkey?

Yours puzzledly,

Chris. Who's using Windows 10 on an antique computer that was designed for Windows XP! And Firefox, Best Browser.

Does FF offer a setting to address the following two incompatibilities?

1. In the iCarol web app, as the user is approaching the timeout limit, in Chrome the browser tab flashes a warning. This does not happen in FF.

2 In the Diaplad web app, if the user needs to record a voicemail greeting, in Chrome this ability is present. In FF this ability is not present.

There is a black box on the top left corner whenever firefox is maximized. This problem appeared when I got my new computer screen (Asus 27" TUF Gaming VG27AQ1A, 170Hz WQHD). My old computer screen (23.6" VE247H LED, Full HD, 2ms, 10M:1) didn't have this issue.

Any help how to fix this issue?

Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to nrega.nic.in because this website requires a secure connection.

What can you do about it?

nrega.nic.in 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.

Probably nothing, since it’s likely there’s a problem with the site itself.
