Firefox Community Forum

This started a few weeks ago. I thought it might have been because I synced the passwords with other devices. I reverted it back.

When in about:logins, I click on the log in button but nothing happens.

I am trying to use FanDuel Sportsbook. I have always used this successfully with Firefox. I just set up a new computer and installed Firefox and can no longer use FanDuel. I can still do it on Chrome just fine, and I can use other betting sites on Firefox with ease. The issue, I assume, has to be with the security settings on the current version of Firefox that I just installed. I have reviewed the settings and nothing I do seems to have an impact.

Please let me know what might be preventing FanDuel from accessing my location.

Thanks.

I'm concerned about cross-tab privacy. I have a paid Gmail account and recently explicitly removed the Google Sites app from that account as I don't create websites using it and I don't want Google tracking me on sites others create with it.

Using the most current Firefox for Windows and Duck Duck Go for search, I was blocked by Google from bringing up this site, with a message that "I don't have that app installed."

Gmail is open in a separate tab in my Firefox browser. I do power down my PC daily. On this same computer, I opened Bing and the site comes right up.

Why should I be blocked from seeing it in Firefox if I can see it in Bing? Is it because I'm signed in to Google to get to my mailbox in another tab? It appears that way since it is bringing up the same symbol top right as it does in Gmail.

Unfortunately I had to visit the site of Telus.com and use tech support. Now, there is always a Telus cookie in my Firefox settings. If I clear it, and block in PERMISSIONS, it still reappears as soon as I visit any web page. I always use private browsing. Right now I'm using Vivaldi until I get the thing resolved. Is there any way to kill the thing? Thanks for any assistance.

I have a Logitech Streamcam that I have been having some problems with. I noticed that Firefox stopped working with my Webcam some time ago and I can't seem to figure out why.

My webcam works fine on Chrome and using the camera app on my desktop. I hooked the webcam up to my Macbook and was able to connect to it just fine, even using Firefox.

I tested my webcam using this website: https://webcamtests.com/check When I go there I get this error message: "Could not find a web camera, however there are other media devices (like speakers or microphones). Most likely, this means that your webcam is not working properly or your browser cannot access it."

When I try to have it forcibly start the camera it gives me this error message: "NotFoundError: The object can not be found here.; DOMException".

I tried clearing the cache, running Firefox in safe mode, clearing all privacy and security settings, and reinstalling Firefox but none of it help, I also tried clearing the cache and got the same result.

Windows security settings show Firefox last accessed my webcam on 2021-11-08 and there are no access requests from Firefox since then.

Any idea of whats going on or what troubleshooting I can do from here?

Hi.

Does anyone know at what regularity the disconnect.me integration as part of the enhanced protection mode is updated please?

The company I work for had an update to the URLs on the disconnect.me side on the 21/08 and this takes affect browser side after it’s been updated by the browser code. But we can see that all URLs are still blocked, rather than some specific ones, with the enhanced protection mode so it isn’t reflecting the updated code disconnect.me have available

Thanks

Is there a about:config entry for controlling the different types of data collected in the background? I'm asking because I have them switched off yet the app is still trying transmit.

Recently when viewing the ESPN website, it abruptly changes to Qwest. When I back click to return to the previous page, instead it switches to Amazon. The initial switch to Qwest happens whether or not I click on an ESPN story link or not (I never click on ads). When this occurs, I avoid clicking any links on the Qwest page, instead opting to close the page and then Firefox altogether to avoid a security risk. Are there any steps I should take to prevent this from occurring? Thank you for your time and consideration! Brett Portland, Oregon

I am unable to see anything on X / twitter. Windows 11. This is a continual problem with my laptop and my desktop (Windows 10). I have Firefox set on Standard tracking, and have added x.com and twitter.com as exceptions. Please fix this so that I can access my x.com account.

Hi! I have a new laptop and want to export a certificate I had installed in my previous laptop. When trying to do so, I'm asked to choose a certificate backup password which I need to enter twice to validate. Once I do it, this message comes up, "Failed to create the PKCS #12 backup file for unknown reasons". I've tried several times with different passwords but the same issue remains. Can you please help me out with this? Many thanks! Alex

What should be my response to these messages? Dismiss closes the particular message, but it is immediately replaced with another similar one. I have no idea what the xxxx.mergenetworkprotocol is or how to use it. It is real or a phishing scam? Is it safe to simply tell Firefox to hide it?

I thought at first that the Master Password was for that, it seems however its purpose is only to protect access to the saved sites passwords. I set it up and it did in fact ask me for a password at startup but with just 2 tries to close the window, the prompt went away and did not prevent me to use Firefox further. It eventually appeared again but the result was the same. How can i prevent unathorized people using Firefox right at startup?
