Uncontrolled connections

I start firefox with following policies.json

{

   "policies": {
       "AppAutoUpdate": false,
       "BackgroundAppUpdate": false,
       "DisableAppUpdate": true,
       "DisableFeedbackCommands": true,
       "DisableFirefoxAccounts": true,
       "DisableFirefoxStudies": true,
       "DisablePocket": true,
       "DisableSystemAddonUpdate": true,
       "DisableTelemetry": true,
       "ExtensionUpdate": false
   }

}

But uncontrolled connections to the following addresses continue anyway:

I may have missed something and you can tell me how I can control these connections inclusive. Because all other connections can be controlled by configs and policies. But not these and it raises big questions. It seems to me that the browser should allow to configure any network requests that aren't related to the user web browsing itself. If some connections cannot be controlled in any way then I can't call it anything other than either a bug or an attempt to monitor users as do in Google Chrome.

Is it possible with the iOS app (128.3) to view values of cookies stored for a website? It doesn’t appear as though that is data that can be synced to desktop, either. (Would make sense for some browser-specific key:value) If it helps, I know the name of the cookie I’m specifically looking for.

I keep getting pop-ups in the right lower corner from "mozilla firefox" (not sure if they are legit). They will say: "zeus.2020 trojan detected" or "virus detected" or "system is infected", etc. All have "Mozilla Firefox" in the upper left of the pop-up, and "via rgfirewall.xyz" at the bottom. Is this truly legit, or is it just a nuisance? I've just been closing them with the x or dismiss buttons.

How to set a password to open Thunderbird?

I just installed Thunderbird 115.16.0esr (64-bit) on Ubuntu 24.04.5 LTS and it is working with the email I linked it.

I wanted to set a password to open TB because it is enough to click and it access the linked email.

I tried startupmaster-1.6.5-fx+tb.xpi but when trying to open it firefox says "corrupted file"

I don't like master password, I type passwords myself

Any clue?

thanks

Currently, I am using the desktop version of Thunderbird and I have my email account configured to digitally sign my emails with an S/MIME certificate. I cannot find a way to import my certificates on the android version of Thunderbird. Is there away to setup certificates in the Android version of the app?

Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue

I have been having this issue for a while now. I will get this message on different websites, and then if I try again later it might work. It seems like it's a random chance of me getting this error. I have tried "about:config" commands as suggested on other posts on this forum and they didn't work. I checked my licenses, proxy settings and still nothing. I got another web browser to see if it's my PC or Firefox, and the other browser worked just fine. I am guessing there is something I need to do within Firefox, but I am not sure what that is.

Find that at each update, the Startpage search engine is re-installed WITHOUT my permission. I understand startpage can be defined as a PUP, and I don't trust it. The most aggravating thing is that installing add-ons and extentions without users' permission is unconscionable.

Would like to know if there is any way I can block the reinstallation of this at each update.

Thanks.

ios app switcher is showing private information

With the last update of iPadOS 18 and Firefox I recognized, that when in background and when I switch between apps, the Firefox screen is showing a website with private information. It is always the same screen from a wensite where I had to put private information in. Even a restart with reset and a new installation of the firefox app does not change that.

In connection with the fact, that private browsing mode is not the default on ios this is concerning me. Firefox should be private first!

When in background the app switcher should show nothing from my browsing window. Is there a way to change this behavior?

Thank you for any help in this regard!

HTTPS unsecure connection message with self-signed certificates

Hello,

We are manufacturers of networking devices.

As most networking devices, ours can be configured by navigating to the default gateway IP address via the browser. With the rise of security awareness, various regulations are forbidding the usage of HTTP. This is bothersome to us, as connecting to our devices via HTTPS and our self-signed sertificates will always throw an error of an unsecure connection to the end user. We understand the technical reasoning for this and that users are able to ignore the message, but this does impact our user experience and it may even discourage users from using our devices.

As these regulations will be impacting networking devices globally, we want to ask you if there are any workarounds for the self-signed sertificate "unsecure connection" message. Perhaps there is an argument that can be set, or an ongoing effort from browser vendors to assist networking device manufacturers with this.

Any information or help is appreciated.

Thank you.
