I have no idea where the ad blocker is here on Firefox and cannot turn it off when I need to. It is crazy that it is so difficult to find AD BLOCKER - I find articles that say how to do it but they make no sense because I try to follow and it still does not work. I need to know how to turn off the ad blocker - especially when I want to use Rakuten - I cannot never use it because I cannot manage my ad blocker when I need to

Firefox Version 139.0.4 (64-bit)

Its been an issue for me for quite a while. Seems to occur for some websites. But it's getting to a point where it feels like every website is encountering this issue.

Firefox does a good job storing password and usernames when creating said username and password. But it will never suggest a username...

A similar topic is, how can I make firefox autofill username for websites?

I am trying to log into the indian evisa (indianvisaonline.gov.in) website to print off an ETA (Electronic Travel Authorisation) and when logging into the site I am getting a warning saying potential security risk ahead


Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to indianvisaonline.gov.in. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.

What can you do about it?

The issue is most likely with the web site, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it.

If you are on a corporate network or using antivirus software, you can reach out to the support teams for assistance. You can also notify the web site’s administrator about the problem.

I do not know what to do for the best

Selenium Automation in Firefox (Python) Blocked by Captchas & "Browser is Being Automated" Error

Good day,

I'm using Selenium with Firefox in Python to automate browser testing, but I keep encountering captchas that prevent my script from proceeding. Additionally, I receive an error stating that "the browser is being automated" (Reason: Marionette).

My intended automation flow:

  1. Open Firefox
  2. Go to www.google.com
  3. Search for "YouTube"
  4. Click on the YouTube link
  5. Search for a video
  6. Play the video

However, captchas appear during the process, and I suspect it's because Firefox detects that it's automated. Is there a way to disable automation detection in Firefox or configure Marionette to reduce captchas when using Selenium in Python?

Any guidance or workarounds would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

02/24/2025 @3:22 pm CDT -- Hi; Firefox has recently been telling me [in the Settings screen] that "your browser is managed by your organization." This is on the 'General' page. THAT'S A PROBLEM, esp. on a STANDALONE PC. I didn't change any settings for that to happen.

Since I first saw this message in January, I've reinstalled Win 11 several times; wiped my drive b/c of a security compromise, changed a whole lot of PWs and other things. This is from 48+ yrs. of being a Tech Lady. But I couldn't find a solution to this - to remove this 'organizational' mgmt. of my box. How can this be removed and the browser again realize that I am one independent person?

Thank you.
