Firefox Support Forum

Every time I open the NY Times website (my homepage) I get this popup. seemingly regardless of settings. This didn't used to happen. How do I stop it? Message n popup-- "We've updated our terms We encourage you to review our updated Terms of Sale, Terms of Service, and Privacy Policy. By continuing, you agree to the updated Terms listed here."

When I close Firefox and open a new browser session I have to always recover my Google account(s) because it signs me out of all of them despite my settings under 'Privacy & Security >> History' being set to Firefox will remember history. I tried uninstalling Firefox and reinstalling from scratch and followed guides but nothing is working and it is so frustrating to have to sign into multiple accounts every time I turn on my computer to use the browser, check my emails, view my calendar, or to just go on YouTube. I cannot do anything without singing into my account every time and I have no set rules to auto delete cookies or any browser data whatsoever. This started occurring randomly after Firefox auto-updated and I can't figure out what changed to cause this to happen.

I am trying to remove my login details on firefox for my microsft account. Everytime I try i go to www.office.com or portal.office.com to log into my account the username for the account is always displayed.

I have gone on the the privacy and setting and removed all cached data, removed history and cache when closing firefox.

But everytime I go to the website to log onto my microsoft account the account user name remains. Is there a way of removing this information. I ahve also cleared auto.fill and disabled this within the about:config.

Could anyone advise me how this can be done as I cannot seem to find anyother settings that I may have to change for this to be done!

Thanks!

HI all! Hope you all are doing well.

I am using user.js file to harden my Firefox to the best possible way. I have few question about that process.

1. Where i can find the complete list of all active user_pref settings? All of the options i have to edit them. like user_pref("security.sandbox.content.level", 6); - now i have 6 by default but what is the range?

2. Is there any tool i can use to update my list with the latest entries, and to remove the obsolete entries?

3. Sandbox - what are the best possible ranges and settings for the below entries?

ser_pref("security.sandbox.socket.win32k-disable", true); user_pref("security.sandbox.content.level", 6); user_pref("security.sandbox.content.shadow-stack.enabled", true); user_pref("security.sandbox.gmp.win32k-disable", true); user_pref("security.sandbox.gpu.shadow-stack.enabled", true); user_pref("security.sandbox.gpu.level", 2);

Thanks well in advance! Firefox 116.0.3

What is bizarre, Mozilla, is the fact that in Windows version 116.0.3 64-bit, that while using <browserleaks.com> test for webRTC, that the WebRTC leak test, RTC PeerConnection, & RTC DataChannel leak in Windows & not in the Linux OS.

Bottom line: how do we configure Firefox in Windows to NOT leak?

Hi,

I was doing an online CTF challenge that uses an http server and doesn't work with https. The challenge features a fake login prompt and firefox keeps showing me the "This site is not secure" warning when I try to type a password, which is distracting and completely useless here because I'm not sharing any private info on that site.

Im using firefox version 116.0.3

I've enabled the setting in about:config that requires my windows password when viewing/copying a password (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1318874)

Is it possible to have firefox authenticate me each time it autofills a password as well?

I cannot use my laptop to access my company network. The network keeps displaying "turn off your ad blocker". I must access the company network in order to accomplish my work. Can I disable ad blocker or grant access to the Keller Williams network? Please don't send me to Chrome !!!

I'm trying to set up 2FA on my account. I scan the QR code and the generated codes do not work. I've tried many times. Firefox is the ONLY account I have that does not work. Any ideas? Using Google Authenticator.

i had recentaly created firefox account to switch from old to new pc and i had synced all saved logins and passwords to new pc firefox browser and i checked and they were there in the saved logins . and now that the old pc is sold and formatted the logins from new pc is gone.

I have an account at Walmart.com. After the last time I placed an order, something changed. Now, just for simply going to their online site to browse, the page immediately rolls over to a login page. I cannot access the site simply to shop at all, without Walmart forcing me to sign in. This is annoying enough that I am considering canceling my Walmart account and shopping with other retailers. There is plenty of competition out there. This does not happen (as far as I know) with Chrome or edge, the browsers that do not prefer to use.

After recent update I cannot access my Medical Info online. This is the error message I receive.

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to epicpnwmychart.optum.com. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR

Error code: PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR

I accidentally blocked the DrJava website due to not paying strict attention to what I was doing on the screen when using Firefox to go to this site - www.drjava.org. I don't know how to reset my access to this site and this site only. Is there a method I can accomplish that will reset this ONLY blocked site on my Firefox and Dell PC. Thanks in advance.

Trying to browse to a website that I know is safe, but it's an old site and it looks like the security certificate is expired. I'm getting:

"Firefox detected an issue and did not continue to jeconais.fanficauthors.net. The website is either misconfigured or your computer clock is set to the wrong time.

It’s likely the website’s certificate is expired, which prevents Firefox from connecting securely.

What can you do about it?

jeconais.fanficauthors.net has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem."

I cannot find a way to bypass this or turn this off. Why is there no option to do this (when there has been in previous versions)?

Hi, Many websites are updating their security protocols, for example United (screenshot below), no pins, usernames or emails to sign in. After updating passwords yesterday I made the changes in Firefox Password Manager. Now it seems these new passwords don't work. Has anyone else report this? Thank you very much.
