Some of Firefox's security features may off less protection on your current operating system.

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

Security flaw: Settings accessible after canceling OS authentication prompt

When accessing about:logins, Firefox prompts for system authentication (Primary password or master password). However, if the user cancels the prompt twice, the password manager still opens and displays all saved logins without authentication.

This behavior bypasses the intended security check and could pose a risk, especially in shared or public machines

Hello!

I would like to know if Firefox has any settings to disable the POP-UPs that inform that "the password is being entered via insecure means (http)" and/or alarms for self-signed certificates on local networks? I work accessing the configuration pages of equipment (routers, switches, firewalls, APs, etc...) and these messages are very annoying. They disrupt the workflow and are unpleasant.

Is there any extension that makes a list of security exceptions (for example, everything on the 192.168.0.0/16, 172.16.0.0/12, 10.0.0.0/8 network)? It would be interesting if Firefox itself had this exception option.

PS.: Translated by Google.

Where are these coming from? Sidebar is off. I have all preloading off, all suggestions of every sort off, any predictive anything off.

I am not experiencing this on my win10 machine.

Hello.

I use the Firefox Multi-Account Containers extension to separate my browsing data. I have one container for my personal account (Google, YouTube, etc.), another for Amazon, another for work, and another for web searches.

Can I delete the cookies from the containers independently?

Let me explain. I'd like to keep the cookies from my personal container (to keep sessions open), but I'd like to delete the cookies from the "searches" container.

Best regards.

My browser (on a second device) is sending me messages that a Trojan has been discovered - will not stop so I uninstalled it. If I download a new browser will the same messages continue? Has this breached the whole of my Mozilla Firefox account?

I am not sure how the architecture works and to clear the other device.
