I believe I was just in the process of adding my Gmail account to my Mozilla account. But I did stop and use the restroom in-between initiating this dialogue and it opening, I could have forgotten my reason... Yes, that quickly. Please forgive any inconvenience I may have caused. Oh!!! I do want to use encryption, but I can set "use https only" myself. I remember!!! It was checking if I had the latest version and I'm not sure why I'm in this area of support. Have a great day or evening!!

     Thanx

Until I installed the latest update (136.0.1) I could open Firefox and navigate, never having to log into PW manager until I came to a site where I had to log in and use a saved PW. I have many sites where my login is remembered, and I don't have to log in, so this isn't needed most of the time.

Now EVERY time I open Firefox that request for my primary PW pops up and I have to hit CANCEL twice to clear it before I can to anything. It's an annoying pain in the tush.

How do I turn this off, or set it so that that pops up ONLY when I have to log into a site?

Thanks.

I used Chrome until two days ago. I just got tired with how shitty the browser was, how bloated it made my computer, and how much Google treats everyone like a data product. However, I use hella google systems from Voice to Chrome to Drive to more and it all worked great together. Choosing to change to Firefox wasn't an easy decision but I knew it was a good one

Which makes it super irritating that some of the functionality is already facing problems. I have shortcuts I built to make it easier to study or do random things so I don't get distracted or tired. One shortcut is clicking a key that should launch UWorld in my default browser & use Lastpass to autologin (I couldn't get it to launch the service but that was a separate issue).

I check if autologin was on for the password on LastPass I've allowed all permissions to the LastPass extension I clear my cookies on UWorld & turned off enhanced tracking protection for the UWorld login portal site

What should I do to fix my one button shortcut again?

I really don't want to go randomly turning off every protection that Firefox gives me to figure it out so I'd appreciate someone who understands the browser better helping me out. Also, bonus points if you can help me build a single shortcut button on my Mac that can launch UWorld & navigate me straight to the question bank. (I do think the issue with autologin on LastPass is going to become more of an issue as I start opening up more websites I used to use on Chrome so I'd rather nip it in the bud before I see the problem occur more often)

Open my desktop and NordVPN starts up. The Firefox extension frequently shows I an not connected via the VPN whilst Nord says I am. I have in the past clicked on the extension to connect the VPN and this has worked but recently I just get an error. Same thing occurs with NordPass.

I was reading about CSS custom variables at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_cascading_variables/Using_CSS_custom_properties, and noticed that the example at "Using @property to control inheritance" does not work as described in the latest Firefox (115.21.0esr, 64-bit. on Windows laptop).

More specifically, both the parent and child divs come our in green, but the child div is supposed to come out in cornflowerblue.

Although it is not affecting me yet (I haven't decided whether to use this particular CSS feature), I was wondering if the issue was known.

so each time i set my network to manual proxy configuration, the browser wont load searches and still can't intercept request on burp suite. i have imported the certificate,and added foxy proxy add-on . Note that i was able to do all of this few months ago and it suddenly stopped working. i was seeing a message that says invalid peer certificate signature

I'm trying to disable the "Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead" message in Firefox when accessing websites with self-signed or invalid certificates. I understand the security implications, but I'm a cybersec professional where I frequently need to access such sites. Is there a way to permanently disable these warnings?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I tried to go onto Weatherbell (www.weatherbell.com) and got the Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue. I had just been on the site 2 hours ago. Why all of a sudden is there a security issue? I cannot contact the website manager there, as I can't get on the site to email them.

Solution?

This mandatory upgrade completely illustrates the point of why so many never did. Upgrades tend to lose functionality- add-ons, etc, that we're accustomed to and still work quite well with don't function anymore with browser upgrades, and there's no viable replacement available so we stick with what works and find other ways to compensate for any perceived vulnerabilities. Now, like Microsoft, you're forcing consumers to do things they never wanted to and taking away the reasons for using this browser to begin with. Given that we've been able to use older versions for years with no issues, there's no sugarcoating that this is all on you, Mozilla. Calling this course of action disappointing is a gross understatement and nothing more than keeping things polite.

when managing an extension, you describe all the things it can do such as read anything on your computer. But you never say what the consequences might be, such as stealing or selling your info. Why don't you tell the reader what the consequences might be?
