Firefox Tekoha Aty

One specific cache entry always contains a trojan virus everytime I run an anti virus check. I can't say where this cache comes from as it appears even if I don't open a single new website. I delete it but it appears everytime I use the Browser again, even multiple times during one session. It is always the same entry code. Is there a way to block a specific cache entry or at least to discern where it originates?

Is it possible that every single add-on I had has been simultaneously disabled because it is "corrupt" or the sign-on could not be verified? Is it due to my old operating system (El Capitan)? If that's the case, I will have to stop using Firefox on my old iMac and use it on my MacBook Air, a device I really don't like because of the keyboard.

I subscribe to my city's newsletter. It gives quick links "click here" to register for a class, "click here" for information about an upcoming parade. I used to be able to click and get it. Now it tells me It can't find the site OR I might be connected but behind a firewall. There are too many options and too many terms, I don't know what to do, I just want to click links from my city newsletter, and get taken to them. Help???

Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

We can’t connect to the server at vu4mbwlab.cc.rs6.net.

If you entered the right address, you can:

   Try again later
   Check your network connection
   Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall)

Well, it's happened. I am using the unbranded build specifically so that I do not have to have signed or verified extensions. But tonight my browser broke anyway because of the expiring CA TLS certs for the add-ons repository.

"One or more installed add-ons cannot be verified and have been disabled [Learn More]". If I click the [Learn More] button nothing happens. It just disappears.

And when I check: "uBlock Origin could not be verified for use in Nightly and has been disabled."

This should not be happening in the unbranded builds. I imagine it is happening in the custom Debian esr too. They're supposed to allow unsigned/unverified extensions/add-ons but now this apparently bug is happening.

To be clear, this was expected for normal Firefox releases with all normal extension signing stuff. But that was explicitly not supposed to be required for the unbranded builds. And so this is a bug.

Information Your browser is being managed by your organization.

I did not enable this setting and it has to be disabled. I t seems one of your updates enabled it. Tell me how to disable it please!

I have always had them setup. And I would expect a prompt when my computer had been shut down, or OS/FF had updated - seems normal. As of a couple weeks maybe months ago, I'm being asked for it what feels like constantly. In fact, It just asked me twice back to back withing the same session/tab/interaction with Passwords. That feels like a lot, esp if you actually have longer and more complex pwds than 90% of us. (And me sometimes, not claiming to be a pw angel or anything lol). But personally, Mozz/FF passwords fall into the top tier of my brains security hierarchy, along with my Apple Account, private keys, device encryption, MFA recovery, etc...things you'd generally be sure to incorporate best practices with and really don't wanna forget or lose. I don't really love the idea of turning it off, buuuut getting a bit grumpy about being pestered all day from Firefox.

So bug? Updated policy? I just woke up form a Coma and simply don't recall 2024? Hopefully not the third one.

On an M4 Max running Sequoia Version 15.2 (24C101) using FIrefox 136.0.1 at the moment, but have noticed the same on a Yoga/Windows 11, iPhone, M1 Macbook Pro.

Privacy/Security is set to Strict. No sus permissions I can see. HTTPS only. DNS over Cloudflare (Default Protection). No exceptions of any type granted. Aside from Mozilla (for Extensions), and Google (for Popups).

Thanks yall.

Oh (and I should prob open a proper ticket but while) but I'm here, and I just noticed the line about "On macOS, some background tabs will be moved to lower power cores, reducing energy usage." from a recent Firefox update brief. I've been having a rough time lately on this M4 Max - 16 cores, 64GB mem with tabs freezing up the whole browser, every window. Sometimes the whole OS. Not specific to any certain site, and has happened with 1 windows and 3 tabs open just as often as 4 windows with 40 tabs open. And usually I cant even get to Activity Monitor at that point to see if it looks like a memory leak, or whatever. And if I can get it to shut down (the browser), it will get into this loop where it just loads back up all the same windows, and that same particular tab will lockup again as soon as I click on it. And it takes foreevvvver to load back up even when I don't interact with the browser aside from CMD-Tabbing tf out of there. Tbh I'd prefer FF to launch clean after being told to shut down. Always have the option to load recent windows anyway....

^ aaand then saw the blatantly obvious checkbox to turn off reload on start my bad. 😅

Sorry last thing - what exactly does "We've made some educated guesses about your current browser and operating system." mean? Yeah that sounds straightforward, and I would expect that from most websites? I think? I know you want to be transparent, but that phrasing sounds weirdly aggressive lol

I'm afraid I've tinkered around too much while not knowing what I'm really doing. it seems as though I've caused havoc and can't tell where/what I've done wrong. Its astounding how convoluted site disclaimers can be for cookies, ads, info sharing etc., and my tiny brain isn't savvy enough to know how to protect myself without going overboard. Is there a way to reset default settings and start over using a tutorial or something?

My account with you was hacked… my info is now leaked on the dark web. He is now in my phone again for the last two months my account was mcclishcandy144@gmail.com he has ruined my life and right now has made me c lose my job! I put faith in the fact that i thought I was c protected. What I want is some info. Also a way to get the guy who is harassing me by having everything I own and disrupting my entire life! I’m on the verge of filing a law suit
