I'm setting up a cloud-init to make it easier to deploy Linux workstations. I want to display the various links to my sites on my Firefox browser. Bookmark my services. Do you think this is possible? I've already applied a rule to retrieve certificates, but it seems complicated for bookmarks.

Here's an extract  :

{

 "policies": {
   "Bookmarks": [
     {
       "Title": "Main",
       "URL": "https://service.net",
       "Folder": "Bookmarks Toolbar"
     },
     {
       "Title": "Service 1",
       "URL": "https://service1.net",
       "Folder": "Bookmarks Toolbar"
     },
     {
       "Title": "Service 2",
       "URL": "https://service2.net",
       "Folder": "Bookmarks Toolbar"
     },
     {
       "Title": "Documentation",
       "URL": "https://docs.net",
       "Folder": "Bookmarks Toolbar"
     }
   ]
 }

}

Best Regards,

Dylan

Il y a 2 semaines je travaillais comme d'habitude sous Firefox et faisais appel à des services Google, tels Photos et GMail et d'autres . SANS PROBLEME J'ai renouvelé mon abonnement a AVAST et en ai profité pour exécuter certaines options de nettoyage qu'Avast me proposait. J'ai été surpris quelques jours plus tard de ne pas pouvoir accéder à Google Photos : j'avais les emplacements et commentaires mais pas les photos !

Puis j'ai remarqué que Gmail n'acceptait pas des screenshots

En cherchant l'aide, j'ai supprimé tous les Cookies de Firefox

Depuis lors, que ce soit pour n'importe quel service de Google, autre que RECHERCHE, MAPS, Youtube et Chrome j'obtiens un écran de rejet de GOOGLE quand il est demandé par Firefox. Toujours la même réponse , comme dans le fichier joint

Si je n'arrive plus a travailler avec Firefox que j'ai toujours utilisé, il faudra que je passe à un autre navigateur C'est dommage et contrariant

When I am using certain apps as webpages and I input information firefox keeps asking to update password even though the password has not been changed nor am I even in the place where passwords would be entered. Is there a way to turn this off at least for certain webpages ? Even manually and individually would be fine, maybe an option on the "update password" box to "not on this site" or something like that. Thanks,

Hello, I’ve been having this weird artifacting happen on YouTube when skipping ahead or backwards with the arrow keys, or when scrubbing/clicking on another point on the time bar. It’s this garbled mess of the last screen that stays there until a new shot or enough of the current image changes. It is really annoying as I am someone who tends to skip around a lot in videos and I tend to have to replay parts because of this or just deal with this mess. It only happens on YouTube and only on Firefox for some reason. If anyone knows what could be causing this, I’d really appreciate it. I haven’t been able to find a similar issue online, maybe I am searching the wrong thing. Tried to get some screenshots of it with something that would really show it. This has been happening for a while. I use a Mac Studio with an M1 Max since it released in 2022. I've tried reinstalling Firefox as well and that did not fix it.

This happens on any video regardless of what quality settings it is at. I've tried adjusting hardware acceleration to no avail. I dont really know what else to try at this point.

Hi there, in my settings in firefox: there is a website that refuses to go away from the "Manage Data" section of the "Cookies and Site Data" section of my Firefox settings. I will select to remove all of the cookies ever, and even when I refresh the settings page, or close and restart the App, or turn my computer off and on again, it is still there. Strange! I would like assistance with this.

of note, I've checked w/ third party extensions that manage cookies, and that website doesn't show up when I manage cookies via said extension.

I have MacOS Big Sur, 11.7.10. I have the latest version of Firefox.

Thank you!

I have version 105 and version 132 now installed on my computer. What is the best way going forward? I had 375 tabs open and of course designed my way. Besides saved passwords I have a couple gigs of cookies. Some pinned tabs etc. Should I just start over with version 132 and struggle through it for a few weeks? It used to update automatically but for some reason it did not these last few months and 105 didn't even have an option to update. Thanks for any suggestions.

I was live streaming last night, and the page started acting up, so I refreshed it, and my camera disappeared.

I went to my stream settings, and there were no cameras available (I have 3 running and available always).

I went to my permissions page, and all permissions were enabled. After finding a troubleshooting page that showed me how to get to Firefox's "Troubleshooting information" to see all Input Devices, and there were no cameras. Screenshot attached. (Funny, because the "C920 Webcam microphone" was listed, but not the camera)

When I reboot/refresh Mozilla, I AM able to see and select a webcam, but only upon initial startup. If I refresh the page, or open a new streaming page, all cameras disappear again. This is not a long-term work-around, as refreshing FF clears my cookies/cache and I have to spend 30 minutes setting my stream pages up from scratch.

Any ideas what could cause this, and if there are any other troubleshooting steps worth trying?

One of the add-in permissions is "Access your data for sites in the “named” domain". I looked at that and thought, "That certainly cannot include passwords"; BUT the explanation for this permission is: "The extension could read the content of web pages you visit in the specified domain, as well as data you enter into those web pages, such as usernames and passwords. "

I was stunned.

That means that addins that get this permission have access to my banking/medical/etc. usernames & passwords. This is not acceptable. Can a permission be developed that would be: "Access your data for sites in the “named” domain" (except usernames/passwords).

The permission "Access your data for all websites" is significantly worse in that it applies to all sites.
