Firefox Community Forum

I'm on Mac desktop, Sequoia 15.3.2. I am trying to access a site. I get a message, "can't access site, check Firefox firewall settings." Please help me solve this in simple terms. Thank you.

I may have inadvertantly blocked Firefox from executing. I run Windows 11 on my desktop, and use SpyBot as my virus defender. Last night SpyBot may have run and prevented Firefox from running. This morning it would not open at all, no matter using a shortcut button or activating the program directly from Menu. I tried re-installing, but a window opens saying, "Hmm. For some reason we could not install Firefox." I tried uninstalling Mozilla but the window opens to initiate the process but in 20 minutes less than 1% of the procedure bar is lit and blinking. Do you have any suggestions?

Firefox is locked by this:"Your browser is being managed by your organization." I have No Organisation. I am a private user! How do I unlock it? as nothing seems work!

Firefox keeps asking to update. When I click yes, it updates but then a User Account Control window pops up, saying that the update was blocked for security reasons.

I'm a single home user connecting via my phone hotspot. Att is my carrier. In settings/general it says my browser is being managed by my organization. Is att that organization or have I been hacked?

I have a whole mountain of Mozilla/Firefox URLs blocked in Pihole. Unfortunately, that is apparently necessary to protect my privacy and not have to install forced updates every day or two with a mandatory restart of my browser included.

To my great surprise, I see that the last 2 updates just came through. The first one I can understand becuase I had Pihole open for test_purposes. But that is closed and this morning I got another one. Has the update_procedure changed? Are the IPs hardcoded or is DOH being used to get past my firewall?

If so, I need the ip addresses because I don't have the time to go put a Wireshark on it. Unfortunately then Mozilla will also show up in pfSense also. Or I choose a completely different option to say goodbye to Firefox after al those decades. Because I'm totally done with having to invest a lot of work because my browser can't behave.

Please help because I can't find it within an hour search.

You are fools. With the new desktop version you destroyed all my settings, all the sites I have remembered for years, without asking me if I wanted it because you turn off all my extension. You shameless idiots, you have destroyed all my years of work. And now I have an empty Firefox. Since it is empty, I will never work with you again, because I do not know what you fools can do, and you do not even ask me. I will switch to a new, smarter browser.

I am getting the question whether firefox has permission to open the page? Does it have, aand how should I handle tht when i want to open an online page?'

I use the email server fastmail.fm inside the Firefox browser on a 2023 Macbook pro. In the main everyday pane (the list of emails) there is a right-hand scroll bar. Frequently that scroll bar is MUCH too long, so that I cannot scroll all the way to the bottom of the list of emails. Both Apple and fastmail.fm are pretty sure they are not responsible. When the scroll bar is too long, I know a work-around, but I would like the problem not to happen.

I was tracing some network activity for an unrelated issue and noticed that when FF starts up it immediately makes multiple TCP connections to livejasmin.com. I have this site blocked by the Windows Firewall and have the host file direct it to 127.0.0.1 so nothing is actually going in or out, but why is FF doing this and how can I fix whatever was done to enable this happening?

I have cleared all cookies and cache, and disabled all addons, and even started in safe mode, but regardless of what I do the very 1st connections that FF makes are always to livejasmin.com, which is obviously not a legit place for FF to be doing any of its routine updates or optimization tasks. My home page is https://google.com and the livejasmin.com connections appear before the 1st attempt to connect to google so this is clearly something malicious that found a way to get into FF early in the startup process.

I have also run 2 different scans tools on the entire computer and both found nothing. I have reviewed all the running processes and do not see anything suspicious either. I do not see this issue with Chrome or Edge, just FF which is my primary browser. All browsers are updated to the latest version as well as the WIN10 OS.

I have also removed my profile and started FF up without the profile, and I noticed the livejasmin.com connections again while the FF "your profile cannot be found" error message popped up. When I had FF make a new profile and set it as the default the same connections to livejasmin.com were made when I restarted FF with the new profile. So it is not tied to my profile.

Hi, unwanted site opens every first start of mozilla after PC has been reloaded.

the site is: „www.url-advertisement.org”

I've scaned with malwarebytes, did a refresh of mozilla browser

I'm using Linux Mint cinnamon 22 and have the latest version of Firefox installed or updated from the app updates. Firefox was already installed and is my preferred browser. But i have the problem when i go to the settings page i see a message on top (picture attached with this post) that says "Your browser is manged by your organization".

Which is simply not true. This is my personal laptop and it belongs to me. I see an answer from Linux mint devs that they will take it up with Mozilla. But that was three years ago. Can this message be ignored or is it still the case? For peace of mind, how do i verify that something is not managing my device?

My firefox browser being hack multiple times, so I dident use it for multiples years... Now I just want to give it an other chance by removing everything that could create trouble. When I get over the setting windows I can read this: Information Your browser is being managed by your organisation.

I don't understand, this is my private computer. How to remove this organisation management???

One specific cache entry always contains a trojan virus everytime I run an anti virus check. I can't say where this cache comes from as it appears even if I don't open a single new website. I delete it but it appears everytime I use the Browser again, even multiple times during one session. It is always the same entry code. Is there a way to block a specific cache entry or at least to discern where it originates?

Information Your browser is being managed by your organization.

I did not enable this setting and it has to be disabled. I t seems one of your updates enabled it. Tell me how to disable it please!
