Firefox Support Forum

Hi! I'm having an issue where when I try to login to my Firefox account from the Firefox browser I get an error message telling me to enable cookies and local storage. Both of those things ARE enabled - I have the 'Standard' option selected for cookie management, and even clicked the shield that pops up on the login page and turned off enhanced protection. I have cleared the cookies and the cache and I have made sure the browser is updated and I continue to get the error message. At the moment I'm logged into my Firefox account from Vivaldi, which feels a little ridiculous. I've even tried turning my VPN on and off. Any suggestions?

I am a consultant and I have, typically, about 2-3 clients ongoing at any one time. These clients, inevitably, each assign me a Microsoft 365 userid. I also have my own personal Microsoft 365 userid.

Unfortunately, given Microsoft's fairly aggressive attempts to "capture" my attention, it has "remembered" each and every one of these accounts, and it sort of tries to log me in all the time with the wrong account into different clients' Office 365 online platforms. So I sometimes find myself sending external mails from the wrong accounts etc. It really is a mess, because then certain O365 "policies" from one account, prevent another account from logging in, for example, creating what I suspect is an almighty spaghetti bunfight of clashing Microsoft properties in my browser.

So I thought I'd assign each client their own container, and using the multi-account container addin, I though this would segregate the accounts, by setting it up automatically to open my different client O365 bookmarks in different colour-coded containers.

Unfortunately this not seem to keep Microsoft in check. It seems to be able to "see" other MS logins across containers, because a few hours ago I experienced a situation where in Client A's container, Microsoft decided that I should be logged out and logged back in with Client B, for some unknown reason, probably because I had logged in as Client B in another container tab. But this doesn't seem to happen all the time. I can't pin down exactly when it happens. Microsoft is basically able to see across my containers, it appears.

Is there any way to keep each Microsoft account where it belongs, namely strictly inside the container tab I have assigned each to? Facebook style? With a nice high unclimbable fence?

How can I fix this? No idea what it is talking about and can load on Safari fine. I could load www.jimmchughphotographs.com fine on Firefox a little while ago. Just noticed the blank screen on my computer tonight. Is it Firefox, my computer, how to fix. Thanks, Jim McHugh [email removed from public forum] but [email removed from public forum] may be best email at moment.

bold textI forgot my primary password on my PC and I have my account synced with my phone and i still have access to my passwords from my phone. can I reset the primary passsword on the PC then re- sync it with my phone to restore all the login information? or would it also get deleted from my phone?

When Firefox automatically updated to 109.1 tonight, I lost all my saved passwords and bookmarks. The bookmarks aren't in a file under 'Restore' in 'Manage Bookmarks' (but I had saved them so I got most of them back). But I can't get my passwords. What happened?

I am new to Firefox and I have no idea if I have setup everything correctly to secure my PC? As a Pensioner I am finding this extremely difficult and have no idea where to or how to get to any of the pages in Firefox to check if I have correctly secured my PC? Please would someone be kind to take control of my PC and check for me please? I would be most grateful for you kind assistance herewith.

Many thanks to all those who take the time out to assist others, we appreciate your time and kindness.

Thank you

I am attempting to disable the Recent Bookmarks section from the bookmarks menu in Firefox Windows version 111. The main solution that's been suggested in the past is to use about:config and change browser.bookmarks.showRecentlyBookmarked to false.

This setting appears to be ignored in my version as changing it has no affect.

Any other steps?

Yahoo Mail will no longer allow me to get to their site without I put them in both Tracking Protection Exception and Cookie Exception. Is there a way to stop them from this? I'm on a Mac Mini (2018) Intel. I have my "Settings" in "Privacy & Security" set to - Custom: Cross-Site Tracking Cookies and Isolate other Cookies. I have had it set this way or similar with Yahoo Mail and all other sites for probably over 15 years.

Hi Firefox team,

I searched online about TLS 1.0 support history events. Looks like Firefox previously (around year of 2020) stopped supporting TLS 1.0, but later re-enable it to support some goverment TLS 1.0 website for COVID reason.

We now have a website(based TLS 1.0). That site is no longer available on Chrome, but it's still available on latest Firefox version by today(Mar 21, 2023). I'd like to know do you have a plan to officially stop supporting TLS 1.0 website again without exception? If so, when will it happen?

Thanks

I got a "Secure connection failed during a connection to duckduckgo.com. I am using WIN xp and Mypal browser. I get the same message if I try Firefox. What do I do now?

I tried to get a Account recovery key. When I enter the password it responds that it it is not correct. This is the password I have for my account. Why is this happening?

Firefox is my default browser. I am sure that I have literally dozens of site logins that use my primary email address as the ID or as a recovery email (including Firefox itself). I now want to use a different email address (gmail or something more generic), since there's a slight possibility that my current email provider may not exist in the future. Is there a way to get Firefox to give me a complete list of all website logins that use this specific email address? (I don't care about passwords, I just need to know which sites I have to change.)

autofill for credit card not longer available. I had it for some time, but within the last week or two, it disappeared, and there is no longer an option under privacy/security settings in the browser.

I am trying to block out the new little "stick marks" that post while I try to log on to a site that that I need to "google" and log on to. I tried to sign out of all the "outside sites" that want to log on, but there are sites that I need to log on to and have done this in the past. I usually go to these sites because they are important to my transacting business, accessing my bank, places I pay my bills, etc. If I want to get to these and order or pay a bill, I have to unblock each one of them??? How do I do that? If a credit company wants to contact me, they cannot do this even if we have contacted each other previously? Really?

How do I undo this already-marked system and get out of it? As you can guess, I am old and not up with the times. Please simplify your answers so a not-technical person can understand it.

When I log into my bank account and verify via a security code, it will ask me to save my Device Name. The problem is Firefox responds as "My Firefox 03/21/2023 01:34 PM" instead of my real computers name. Since the time always changes, even if I save it, it will never be unique. That means I will be asked to verify every time I log in. How can I make Firefox present my computer name instead of "My Firefox" followed by a date and time stream?

The one killer feature Safari on a Mac has that keeps me from fully embracing Firefox is its integration with Messages for two factor security codes sent via text. In Safari, you don't have to jump over to Messages to copy and comeback to paste the code into the field. A box drops down under the field you can click on to autofill the code right there on the webpage.

Does Firefox have this ability somewhere or are there plans to add it soon? I seem to have read that Apple allows third party apps to add this integration since Big Sur.
