i'm tired of overriding firefox settings so that i can access my servers and lab equipment, or run scenarios to point out why security is in place. some of the about:config overrides work sometimes, others they don't. then firefox updates and I hve to reset them or go through the whole proccess every time i spin up a new environment.

please tell me someone knows of an easily solution for this? is it a dev release of firefox? a different browser?

i tried installing old versions of firefox but they don't support modern stuff. how difficult is it to be able to, in the same way i can allocate permissions per website for things like location or camera access, for insecure tls or invalid certificates?

i know it's invalid and can't be verified. that's the point.

Dear Sir/Madame. I have tried to figure out how to get Mozilla (Firefox) to store my bank card details so I do not need to fill it in over and over again. The information I find on Internet is either from 2020 or do not work. Do you have any solutions to suggest me?

kind regards Henry

When using PowerSchool, there are lots of students with addresses listed, in the various forms. Every time we leave the page, if we edited anything, Mozilla asks if we want to save the address. This is verified to be Mozilla when we click on the 3 dots for settings, and it takes us to the Autofill and Save Adresses box that is clearly unchecked.

In the Privacy and Security settings, we have unchecked the boxes for saving and filling addresses, as well as auto-filling form information.

What else do we need to disable to get it to stop asking to save addresses for every single student we need to modify in PowerSchool (and probably for other sites as well)?

Although the tab for "Autofill Payment Methods" is checked within the Privacy and Security section in settings, when I click on one of my various saved credit cards, autofill doesn't seem to happen anymore when I'm trying to make a payment. That applies to all of my saved credit cards.

Why, and what can I do about it?

The makers of the Avada theme for WordPress adviced to set dom.events.testing.asyncClipboard to true for the copy paste function between sites. A function they have added recently.

However, here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1411533 I saw this comment:

"Recommendations to flip dom.events.testing.asyncClipboard to true are a fundamentally bad idea. This pref was meant for automated testing, and bypasses all security/permission checks on clipboard access.

If you toggle this pref, any site has full access to your clipboard all the time without asking you or you even noticing so we suggest that you do not touch that pref.

Had the same problem with firefox and outlook web.

My solution was:

  open "about:config" in firefox (type it in the webadress line and hit enter)
  accept the risk in the pop up
  type "clipboard" in the search line
  change the following settings (as shown in the image attachment) from false to true (klick on false)
  restart firefox (close it & open it again)"

The image attachment mentioned, showed that dom.events.testing.asyncClipboard WAS set to true. So now I am confused :-D.

Is it dangerous to set it true and why?

I adjust my Settings, but there is no "Save Settings" button that I can see. The next day, I check my settings and they are reset to what they were before. What am I doing wrong?

I'm totally fed up with this! I got this particular one trying to go to Amazon via a link from search but it's happening constantly with links from search and from other sites that I'm on. I am on Amazon a lot. I don't know what this behavior is, where it's coming from, why it's happening, or how to stop it. I'm at the point of just uninstalling Firefox because of it. I've tried the common fixes such as clearing cache and cookies as well as all saved data and it still persists. Firefox has been my default browser for a very long time but if this can't be stopped permanently, I'm done with it!

No matter which way I try to close it, Firefox Will Not Close and stays open 24/7. I do not know how to get this browser to close! Firefox continues to freeze and shut itself down, but NOT close out. I do believe it is a security risk. Thank You for your help.

Hello,

I am unable to use "Restore Previous Session", "Recently Closed Tabs" or "Recently Closed Windows" options despite having Firefox settings in Privacy & Security set to have Firefox "Remember history". These options are greyed out. I have tried toggling between the Privacy & Security settings between "Remember History" and "Custom settings for history" as well as deleting and redownloading firefox but the options still remain greyed out. My Mac os is Ventura 13.0. Please help!

Thanks in advance!

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?

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.

Hello. When trying to browse websites using cellular data only, some kind of security block prevents the websites from loading. It says the it’s pretending to be the website and possibly could steal my information. When using WiFi, the same websites load without any issues and no security blocks. The warning message also says something about only the administrator can make changes or something along those lines. What should I do to get this bullshit off my phone? Please help! I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

Hello,

I have all the the telemetry collection options disabled in "about:preferences#privacy". However, I've observed that my browser is still connecting to "incoming.telemetry.mozilla.org".

Any idea what this is about? Is there another setting somewhere I need to disable, to prevent it? Or is data being sent despite my explicit request?

Thank you!

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.
