Firefox Community Forum

Firefox on my computer is controlled by an enterprise, notwithstanding that my computer is not connected to an enterprise and never has been.

How can I remove the enterprise limitation?

Hello, I am asking for help to fix the following issue with Firefox when I try to update Firefox get the following message on screen updates disabled by our organization.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Firefox has taken to deleting cookies and site data each time I close. I have gone into Settings and unticked the box for this and all seems well for a short time, then it starts up again and when I go back into Settings, it shows the box ticked again. I untick it and sooner or later, it re-ticks it again and starts dumping my cookies/site data.

This seems to be part of a larger issue that has been happening over the last eight weeks or so where I need to reset Firefox frequently because it suddenly opens multiple windows and stops working unless I quit and restart. I'm sensing it has to do with Enhanced Tracking Protection but don't know how to stop the above from happening

I am on a Mac desktop running Ventura 13.7.4. I run Firefox at the Strict level (and have done so successfully for years.) I have extensions Adblock Plus, Don't Track Me Google, FoxClocks, Ghostery and Privacy Badger. These have all played nicely together for a long time. I also had Facebook Container and CanvasBlocker but these are currently disabled. I had hoped they might be the cause of the resetting issues as they've both been touchy in the past but there hasn't been any improvement since disabling them.

How can I stop Firefox from continually dumping my cookies and site data at the end of each session?

Hi,

I'm having an issue with Firefox (on CachyOS, but i'm pretty sure that is not relevant) when I try to hit domain with PORT number.

To be clear, I have a "service" I am locally hosting on a more widely available "domain.com" (those are examples of course...) I am using this typology to still be able to generate Let's Encrypt certs for domains (that I own) not accessible outside my network for those sub-domains, and am using therefore Pi-hole to serve the few IPs of my few "service123.domain.com"

When I use a Chromium based browser (or FF ESR v128) the only DNS query is for "https://service.domain.com:8000" is "service.domain.com" (as seen on pihole queries and in FF-ESR/Chromium DNS cache), whereas FF 135 there is first a "service.domain.com" (righfully answered by my local DNS), and then a second query "_8000._https.service.domain.com" is sent, but my pihole doesn't seem to recognize (and shouldn't have to interpret anything concerning ports), so it sends it to upstream DNS (which are unable to answer)

I have disabled DoH, and every extensions. So I am really lost on what as changed in FF that would explain this, or if it's a pihole config problem (weirdly only affecting FF 135+ ...)

Feel free to ask anything, I may have omitted important info. Thanks in advance

I went to IT at school because the VPN wasn't working. The VPN we need to access all school resources uses the device's default browser to do whatever it does. The IT guy said my issue probably had something to do with the VPN detecting saved passwords for the school and seeing that as a security threat. The temporary solution was to switch my default browser, but I hate both chrome and edge.

What do I need to change about my firefox settings to avoid the conflict with the VPN? I don't want to clear all my passwords; is that necessary?

a website im using is trin to call an api with referer header and policy of "origin-when-cross-origin", but firefox overides it to "Same Origin Policy" with console msg: Referrer Policy: Less restricted policies, including ‘no-referrer-when-downgrade’, ‘origin-when-cross-origin’ and ‘unsafe-url’, will be ignored soon for the cross-site request

After a lot of search, i found that network.http.referer.disallowCrossSiteRelaxingDefault config setting should be set to false to allow any policy, but toggling between false or true has no affect. The request still fails with a cors error "Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at..."

Is there a way to make this work? Or a way to allow the request to have this referer policy.

The bookmarks and history system will not be functional because one of Firefox's files is in use by another application. Some security software can cause this problem. -It is on the top of the screen

I suddenly got a bunch of notices on my computer saying that malicious software has been installed on my computer. They just kept coming and coming. So I turned off notifications in Firefox, and that seemed to fix the problem. But has my computer been taken over? Is it safe to use it? I hope you can help me. Thank you, Ree_B333@yahoo.com
