Firefox for Enterprise Community Forum

Hi all,

Firefox 140.10.2esr Windows 11

Opened Firefox this morning and it said I was using an old version of Firefox and it couldn't load my profile. I have always used the esr version.

I had a look at the compatibility.ini file under my profile and it had version 150.xx. Is that a bug with the last update?

To recover I backed up my profile then changed the compatibility version to the version of Firefox I am using. I was able to load my profile and while all my bookmarks and settings are there, my saved credentials are not. The key4.db and logins.json file are both still under my profile folder, they just don't seem to be recognised; no errors. Viewing the logins.json shows my encrypted credentials.

Does anyone know what is going on and how to resolve?

thanks

Co żeście spieprzyli w tej przeglądarce? Claude AI zawiesza całą przeglądarkę. Od kilku wersji coś jest fundamentalnie zchrzanione bo nawet Pikvm nie serwuje obrazu. Do tego popsuliście coś z profilami, że nie można wrócić do starej wersji przeglądarki. Cała masa błędów. Na siłę próbujecie udaremnić działanie wtyczek blokujących szpiegowanie użytkowników?

Hallo, my setup is some server (keycloak) with mTLS needing keypairs just for allowance for the machines in the enterprise. But as far as i know, i need to setup personal keypairs for the users, not just the machines. How do i push a ".p12" keypair into the browsers trust stores? Is there a way via GPOs? As far as i have read the https://firefox-admin-docs.mozilla.org/reference/policies/, there is no support for ".p12" files?

The only way i got told from AI is via a script. If i could just stuff that ".p12" file into some place in the GPO, i would be perfectly happy... (?)

Hello,

support.mozilla.org/kb/website-translation says, when you do not have downloaded translation packs, parts of the packs will be downloaded when you first use the translation function.

My questions about this feature: - How does this work exactly? - Will the words from the website which i try to translate be collected and "downloaded"? - How are the translation language packs parted? - What information will be used and sent to servers/cloud to request these parts of the translation packs?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best Regards

I know nothing about the dev options for Internet settings and minor turned on and it says the remote server is set to production. No flipping idea what this is. Can somebody please help me?

There is a enterprise download for windows and Apple but i do not see a download option for Linux from this site. https://www.firefox.com/en-CA/browsers/enterprise/

But there is a download for the ESR version from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/

Is there a reason why Linux is not on the main enterprise download page ?

We need to disable the VPN functionality in Firefox for macOS in our environment using a configuration profile deployed via our Jamf Pro VPN. I have done internet searches and found suggestions to use either a custom upload or external application configuration profile payload to disable the VPN functionality but have not been able to find a configuration that works.

Can you advise

This is a personal computer, not associated with any organization. I do not believe it to be necessary on this browser. If it is, please advise. If it is not necessary, please tell me how to disable,deactivate, or remove it. This message only appears in firefox. I don't know where it came from and therefore I do not trust it being there. If it was placed there BY fire fox, also please advise.

I am using Firefox as a multi-tab courseware viewer but need to block the user bringing up the Library page as then the user can see the courseware URL's - I am running it on AWS AppStream and can lock most features down., but this one eludes me - there seems to be no policy to block it. I have tried intercepting keystrokes at the GNOME level and autoconfig javascript to block keys. Is there a way to do this please? Blessings, Ian

My in house security team, recently suggested that Firefox be marked for automatic updates. I did so reluctantly and within three weeks, my feelings were confirmed. I logged in and hit the firefox button. Not found. OK, where did they move it? Program Files. OK. I opened Firefox. No configuration, no passwords, and no bookmarks.

The help to restore previous bookmarks does not work, presumably because the file was deleted with everything else in Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox.

You should not force an update that will cause the user to lose work -- never, ever.

If you're going to move the installation directory, the user should get a chance to backup first. I did not get that chance and I've lost work. Further, I've lost confidence in your product. I can no longer recommend Firefox to others as I've done for decades.

This is not a good day for you and your product.

Hi,

In the latest firefox update 149, no start pages are displayed that were distributed with a registry key via group policy. It only works again if you change this setting manually in the Firefox settings.

In Version 148 it´s fine.

Hello,

I recently heard about an app called “Bombitup” that can send a large number of SMS messages repeatedly to a phone number. I am concerned about how such tools might be used for spam or harassment.

My question is: Can tools like this affect online privacy or browser security in any way? Also, are there any settings or features in Firefox that can help protect users from spam-related websites or services connected to such tools?

I would appreciate any advice on how to stay safe online and avoid potential spam or abuse.

Thank you.

When logging into microsoft web apps using Firefox 140.9.0esr (aarch64) on my MacBook Pro, I get an error message reading "Bad Request - Header Field Too Long. HTTP Error 400. A request header field is too long." This error page loads after I sign-in using my workplace credentials on the sign-in page. For example, going to outlook.office365.com/mail.

I've done some searching online already for solutions and have tried: 1) turning off enhanced tracking protection for this site 2) turning off all browser add-ons and extensions 3) regenerating the cookies4.sqlite* files in the Firefox Profiles folder 4) starting in "Troubleshoot Mode"

The only thing that's worked has been to start Firefox in the mode where windows are not private, and then select "New Private Window" from the File menu. Within that window I can log in successfully to Microsoft Web Apps. BUT, when I turn on "Always Use Private Browsing Mode" in the settings and restart firefox, I get the "Header Field Too Long" error message even though the browser window is private. I'd like to run in Always Use Private Browsing mode.

Ideas and help? TIA Dave
