Firefox Community Forum

Hey team at Firefox, I stream a lot of movies illegaly, animes and shows too on Firefox and one of the most common exploits used by bad people is spyware and injection of malware seems inevitable. even with all the amazing protection features offered by you guys and UBlock origin don't seem enough at all. using a VPN and a amazing browser suite can only go so far. i had the idea of sand-boxing on my PC but a pain to do it every single time and keep a track of everything i am doing. The idea here essentially is to somehow sandbox certain tabs or windows entirely and to be able to pick up where u left off. this paired with the Firefox advanced features and all the amazing extension still available here instead of chrome will make the experience even safer. Hopefully this is something you guys can actually do. More than that i hope this reaches the relevant people at the company not just drowned in a pool of support tickets. I expect no credits or anything like that. I just want to know if its possible and this reach the devs so maybe they make it happen. I do think this is a great idea and a possible feature on here. i can think of more ways to use sandboxing like that but this is just how i want to use it. Kind regards.

I am in a situation where I need to prove that my browser data has not been tampered with. How can I do this? So far, I have only been able to locate my places.SQLite file, but it is hard to prove that nothing has changed within the file.

hey i cant seem to figure out why the tab for the ai chat bot on the left hand side of the screen can not access my microphone.. i like to use google gemini and my microphone registers fine if i go directly to geminis website in my fire fox browser. but when i use the integrated tab on firefox it will not register my mic

Hi guys,

I connected my private crypto wallet to a fraudulent OKX scammer wallet extension, downloaded from your Firefox store couple of weeks ago. I deleted the wallet after I realized it's a scam but the scammers already drained my entire wallet afterwards, I lost approx. 14,000 USD.

I saw this warning too late: https://t.co/wSQv696SvM

Do you guys have any idea, where I can report this case or what I can do? I mean, I am quite sure that I am not the only one affected by this scam.

Thanks Marc

I’ve been hacked by thomas Scott in Lucedale Mississippi 145 Ed lawrence rd Thomas.scottallen1977@gmail.com Also man other emails please see freshcoatpaintingservicesllc@gmail.com Thomas.scottallen1977@gmail.com

Since I restarted my MacBookPro this morning, this pop up message continues to pop up. Apple said it couldn't see any other avenue except for the use of the FireFox browser. How do I make it go away?

“MajorChannelSearchDaemon24374364674” was not opened because it contains malware. This action did not harm your Mac.

With the change in the Privacy policy and TOU for Mozilla, it's been mentioned in several official responses that certain functionality will not be possible going forward without those changes.

If I never use suggestions, hints, or any mozilla services with firefox. Just what functionality becomes a problem that you need to change the "We will never sell your data" and the other equally disturbing "you grant mozilla a irrevocable non-exclusive royalty free right..."?

How about some clear transparency instead of the opaque non-specific statements you've been making?

Loyal users of firefox for the last 20+ years deserve better than this.

Oh, and why can't I remove the search shortcuts for bookmarks, tabs and history, I'd like to map those keys to something else.

Hello, a locally hosted application has a web interface which tries to send a data (POST request) to a remote resource (which is under my control) yet the web browser (Firefox ESR 128.9.0esr) blocks this resource request saying in a developer console (F12) this:

• NS_ERROR_GENERATE_FAILURE(NS_ERROR_MODULE_SECURITY, MOZILLA_PKIX_ERROR_SELF_SIGNED_CERT)

• Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://myRemoteServerIP/request.php. (Reason: CORS request did not succeed). Status code: (null).

I suspect that the CORS blocking is a result of the first (SSL) error, AI also told me that I can configure my remote server/resource (e.g., using Apache, Nginx, or PHP) to include the necessary CORS headers in its responses and indeed the remote server of mine has such lines inside a PHP script that is receiving the request: header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *'); header('Access-Control-Allow-Methods: POST'); header('Access-Control-Allow-Headers: *');

The remote resource (server) is using self-signed SSL certificate and it is referenced using IP instead of a domain name.

When I try to do the same request via Private browsing window (without extensions), there is no NS_ERROR about self-signed cert. but only CORS one. When I try browser Librewolf 137.0.2-1 (my FF version is older: 128.9.0), the request is NOT blocked, is OK..

My main aim is not to avoid blocking in my browser, but in all main browsers for everyone.

Is it so that this kind of blocking is default behavior in browsers? Is there please any way to avoid that, beside getting a domain name and CA signed SSL certificate?

how to protect my user name and password to avoid hacker accesibilty because every time he calling to offering products by email, i need support to protect about it.

don't use my data for selling to cookies or perform illegal and unethical hacking.i am trusting your web

server.data safety 

thank you

Hi!

I am seeing the message in the subject line having completely removed all trace of snapd and installed Firefox deb under Ubuntu 24.04 using the ppa https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/mozillateam/ppa/ubuntu

about:support says "User Namespaces false — This feature is not allowed by your system. This can restrict security features of Firefox"

The page shown following the link does not help as it just assumes I have installed from a tarball - not the case.

Any idea whats going on?

I am using the plasma DE having installed kde-plasma-desktop if that's of any consequence.

Thanks for looking

You state that Firefox has no back door which allows you or anyone else to track browser user history or browsing information. But is that really true?

First of all, when a user searches using your browser, the search is conducted through Google. Unless one clicks on the button offered by Google to reject normal choices, and specifically opts out of user data sharing with their company, every trace of the user's search will be mined by Google. You should install an override which automatically precludes this step when searching on your browser, and ensure that there is no such sharing or mining.

Second even your company has admitted that you HAVE opened a back door for the NSA and other government agencies to track user information online. That means your browser is no different than any other one; for anyone who knows how to access and redirect this data can continue to do so, just as they would with any other browser.

While I applaud your effort to minimize data sharing on your browser, your publicity appears to be somewhat of a myth, for it bears little relation to reality .

The Firefox 2FA setup guide lists Google Authenticator, Authy, FreeOTP, and a few others.

Can I use Protectimus OTP for Firefox 2FA, instead of Google Authenticator or Authy, or the others listed in the 2FA guidance? I already have some other accounts set up with Protectimus and would prefer to stick with one 2FA authenticator app.

Thanks.

Hi,

I literally just created a Primary Password for my account. It worked fine a few times and now it is not working. It says it is incorrect.I saved it in my notes with all of my other passwords before creating it, and even copying and pasting it does not work. I don't understand how it worked 5 minutes ago and now it does not. I don't want to reset it and lose all my saved passwords.
