Fóram Tacaíochta Firefox

Hi,

I am running Firefox 74.0 on Windows 10 (1709). I have created a policies.json file and saved this in `C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\distribution`.

The settings within it are not being applied. I tried to put this same policies.json file in a new folder named `distribution` under Firefox's binary location in a Linux environment and the policies didn't apply there either.

File as below:

{

 "policies": {
   "Certificates": {
     "ImportEnterpriseRoots": true,
     "Install": [
       "cert.pem"
     ]
   },
   "Homepage": {
     "StartPage": "homepage",
     "URL": "http://<our homepage redacted>"
   },
   "Proxy": {
     "AutoLogin": false,
     "HTTPProxy": "http://<proxy server redacted>:<port redacted>",
     "Mode": "system",
     "SOCKSVersion": 4,
     "UseHTTPProxyForAllProtocols": true,
     "UseProxyForDNS": false
   }
 }

}

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Kind regards, Edan

Look, this is a huge problem because this message isn't just showing up on my Fire Fox browser, it's also on my TOR browser. I'm not seeking to fix TOR here, I'm just saying that it's on there too and TOR uses Fire Fox - this message appears nowhere else on my PC or browsers. My system was just purchased brand new in Feb. This message did not display when I dl either browser. I've NEVER downloaded ANY Avast or anything like it, I use Windows Defender and that's it. I'm not a techie - but I'm like really neurotic over hard drive space - I don't download ANYTHING unless I absolutely HAVE to with the exception of browsers. I only download those from their official websites though. I do play some games, I've only downloaded games from Steam, Origin, and Utomik. I do have all of their clients on my PC. Other than that, there's been NOTHING I've dl. I only included that info because I thought it might help. Can someone PLEASE help with this. I tried to look at the registry, I'm not seeing anything that seems amiss but I need more specifics - I've read the other questions and answers on this - but I don't know HOW to change anything to see if it helps. I already am scared to death to touch the registry.

I have a couple of websites that keep popping up from time to time unexpectedly. There must be a way to simply add websites names e.g. www.ihatetheseguys.net to someplace on my Firefox browser, something like a BANNED LIST. And once added that website can never open on my browser again.

This seems like it should be a very simple to thing to do.... it would be like the exceptions list we can access in options where we add websites to a list and they are allowed to open, but this would be the opposite.

I have searched around and it seems there are some add-ons/apps/programs I can download and run on my computer, one called BLOCKSITE. But I dont want to download anything. This seems like it should be a very simple to thing to do on the option page. Simply add a BANNED LIST where we can type in websites and when they try to nope they get noped away to oblivion.
