Hello,

I process phishing URL's,

I have recently come across URL's that make use of a BLOB: syntax on the URL:

blob:https://bolig.botik.dk/16c8c011-0fa5-4ba0-a10f-ed7675055cc6

You can see an example of the Phishing URL in this PhishTank entry:

https://phishtank.com/phish_detail.php?phish_id=9118779

That URL then re-directs to the above "BLOB" URL.

My understanding is that it is "locally" generating the phishing website, similar to an old fashioned about: syntax, however it's not clear what the significance of bolig.botik.dk URL is - loading that URL without the BLOB: prefix causes an error

Can someone explain:

1) What is the BLOB: syntax, and 2) what would be reported to have the phishing URL removed in the above example?

I have just restarted my computer following installation of updated software. I find that Firefox has lost all my bookmarks. Are they stored somewhere, and if so how can I recover them?

Firefox keeps crashing and Hanging and I get the error message "gah your tab etc" I have followed the advice for fixing the problem but it keeps coming back Its really annoying when you are trying to do something I'm no computer whiz and I have looked at the crash reports, its just gobble gook to me, I need help to fix the problem.

The latest update said something about browsing changes and shows a box in the address bar. I see nothing of the kind and, frankly, none of the myriad of updates has ever changed anything in my browser. What might be the problem? Thank you.

Hello,

as the title suggests, I moved my whole profile folder to a new PC, and have since formated my old PC. I just noticed that the key4.db file is missing from the old profile folder. I have followed all instructions I managed to google, which ensured that it was enough to just copy over the old folder content into the new one, nowhere was it mentioned to look after if a key4 or key3 file are present. How is it possible that multiple of your support articles don't mention this? I am now stuck with only a json.login file from my old profile and no way to import my saved logins to the new PC.

I am using Latest version of Firefox (139.0.1 - 64 Bit). I have tried the "hardware acceleration" option on/off and Safe Mode as well. None of it can make Prime Video, Amazon Music or Spotify work! Surprisingly, the podcasts work in Amazon music but not the songs.

I am able to use these in Chrome.

Thanks in advance for the possible resolution steps!

Full access to one of my favorite websites -- BillO'Reilly.com, which I visit daily -- has been compromised through Firefox. If I access it's home page, it briefly appears in color -- then quickly changes to black and white! This is the case in pages throughout the site. Only O'Reilly's "No Spin News" program comes in color but, only if you're a paid subscriber to the site. The site comes in perfectly on other browsers (e.g. Chrome and Edge) and I have informed the site's technical staff about the issue.

Please look into this.

--Thanks, Steve Saucedo

I had an issue with the hidden task bar not showing up when I moved my cuser to the bottom of the screen, so I was "playing around" and messed it up. I created another profile, but lost all my bookmarks and so forth. I copied files from my old profile to the new profile, but now I can't get to michaels.com - it won't load. Also, I have my yahoo mail tab looks like it's loading, but I got in my email and when I went to blackforrest.com it does the same thing.

I still have the issue of my task bar not "unhidding" when I go to the bottom of the screen. I have to minimize my screens to see the task bar.

Can you help, please?

with the new function of Tab Groups i was wondering if it is possible, or can be added in the future, to sync existing Tab Groups to all or specific devices in order to access created groups on my private Macbook to my work Windows Firefox.

thanx for any reply

If I enter file:///d:/web/index.html in the search box then it returns the expected web page but if I edit it into a Firefox home page shortcut then I'm told a valid URL is required. A bit of research here makes me think I need to edit policies.json but I can't find that file in Windows 10, Firefox 139.0.1. I note that the posts giving the advice are six years old and Firefox has changed greatly since then. Please could someone tell me the current method to achieve what I want?

Hello, My Mozilla browser has been displaying new websites in black and white for two years or more (NYT, SMH, NZ Herald, Gdn - see screenshot attached). Substack, random theatre co, Airlines, conferences etc etc everything else appears in colour!

I am not great on tech so I have looked at Settings and asked google and got nowhere. Thanks people for any advice - It will be appreciated.

(PS seriously Mozilla help please do not offer those asking for help a manual troubleshooter link without stating it will wipe their help request when they use it. This is just mean of you).

Hi, Re Firefox browser how do you get back 2 windows with tabs that disappeared when restarting the PC. They are not in history anymore at all, they are gone. What opened up instead after the restart, was 2 lots of Windows & tabs that just disappeared in the same way, from 3 years ago, & they reappeared on the browsers. Can you tell me what is going on please & how to fix this problem in losing them in the first place? This problem has happened several times before & is very upsetting. Can you help in finding my recent loss of windows/tabs please? Regards Doug
