Firefox has decided to open twice instead of once. The version with the preset tabs is not opening automatically. Instead, the version I don't want is opening. I cannot figure out how to get rid of the version I don't want.

When Firefox displays a **"Your connection is not secure"** warning like this, it means the browser has detected an issue with the website's security certificate or configuration, preventing it from establishing a safely encrypted connection.

      1. What You Should Do Right Now
  • **Do not log in or enter sensitive data:** Never type your passwords, credit card details, or personal identification information into a page that triggers this warning.
  • **Do not bypass the warning blindly:** While browsers sometimes offer an "Advanced" option to proceed anyway, doing so on an official government portal experiencing cryptographic or certificate errors puts your data at high risk.
      1. Why This Happens & How to Check It

1. **Certificate Issues on the Server:** Government portals sometimes experience expired SSL certificates, incomplete security chains, or misconfigured domain names. If the website's security credentials have lapsed on their end, Firefox blocks access to protect you. 2. **Incorrect Device Clock:** Check the date, time, and time zone settings on your computer or phone. If your device's clock is significantly out of sync, Firefox will incorrectly think the website's security certificate has expired or isn't valid yet, triggering a false alarm. 3. **Network Interference:** Public Wi-Fi networks, captive portals, or local third-party antivirus/security software can sometimes intercept traffic and cause certificate mismatch warnings. Try switching to a different network (like your mobile hotspot) to see if the error persists.

      1. Alternative Official Channels

If you are trying to apply for an Indian visa from Bangladesh, the primary and centralized portal managed by the Government of India is:

If the specific subdomain or link you are using continues to throw certificate warnings, it is usually best to wait until the site administrators resolve the server-side security fault rather than risking your personal data.

About 3 weeks or a month ago I no longer can identify if I am in a private window or not. I used to get a screen with dark borders and it identified itself as a private window. I've tried everything in settings to try to get this private screen back but have not been successful. I have not tried falling back an update or 2. I would appreciate some help with this issue.

Hello: w11p laptop. FF dev 153.0b.11 (12july). The overflow option for the menu bar containing the address field does not let me move extensions icons from the "always view" choice to the overflow. I have already looked at "extensions & themes dropdown. I have already viewed possible answers here & the worst one says: "NO." That is, this used to be a useable item, but w/changes, no go. I have a 18 in /45cm (only) monitor & don't use FF full screen hardly ever, just 1/2 is enuf. Any solutions/add-ons for a workaround so I can see more than 1/2 in of address field (when the whole browser window is 6 in total)? Tx.

Right-clicking on an open web page displays a menu of options which includes an option to add the tab to a group, and the sub-menu shows two options, one of which is Closed Groups (the other is add new group). So where are these groups ? And why were the groups closed?
