In the last two days I have a recurring message that I am unable to delete despite rebooting my 2025 iMac! The mesage is: "SmartSignalSearch" was not opened because it contains malware. This action will not harm your Mac." When I press the Done button, nothing happens. There is a Trash button to dump this message. I did a search to find where this malware could be. Nothing! I am grateful that my Security & Privacy functions are working, but how can I dump this Malware Blocked notice off my screen? Thanks for any help that you can offer!

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

When i try to access other sites on your system, the site i need access to always says that my password and/or my username does not work or they can't recognize me, i don't understand what to do? thanks.

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.

Win11 Firefox 138.04 It appears some of the shortcuts on the Newtab page are preloading somehow.

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.

How do I stop this?

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.

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

Why can't Firefox permanently save settings queried in Privacy Policy nags? Add-ons and frequently-visited websites constantly nag the same tired questions day-in and day-out and I am SICK of it. Chrome doesn't do this. Why can't Mozilla find a solution? What's my motivation to keep donating to Mozilla or using Firefox if this continues to be ignored? This is a serious usability issue!

I am currently a victim of grave identity theft over several platforms which prevent me from smooth and segure sign ins, confirmations, password changes , etc. Safari is gravely affected, as a mother browsers. My last resort will be to stick to Firefox/ Mozilla gladly. Any advice to further my viver security? Thankfully…Sergio

For example, on the Google login web page there is a field to enter your email and phone (username). When I click it, I can see all my usernames, which are stored in the password database. Previously, I could only see the ones I had used previously on that page. Is there any way to adjust this old behavior? Thank you.

Why recently after one of the most recent firefox updates, does firefox no longer delete ALL temporary cached files when I manually do so?? For years I could delete all the files, now it says there are (everytime now) exactly 2.9mb whatever, and will only go down to no lower than 2.6. What is going on? Thanks for your help.
