duplicate of /questions/1474560 thread

I think browsers should slow down their release cycle and release secure and debugged software. Take the time to fuzz, use static and dynamic security checkers. Maybe a release every 3 months. I am tired of re-imaging and switching between browsers to escape hacking attempts.

On firefox, pop ups persistently appear in the top right at random times saying to update firefox, and sometimes pop ups in the lower left when browsing like today offered bing extension this morning. Pop ups FROM FIREFOX ITSELF are absurd annoying and unacceptable. How can I set it to ABSOLUTELY NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE pop up a message or notification of any kind?

At computer cold boot on windows 11 home pro, Firefox view is open even though it is not in the start menu. It displays a flashy investment type site with a popup "sign up now" window over it. It does not happen on every cold start but does regularly. The site it displays does not show in history before of after it happens. I can find no place on the computer where that site exists, Bitdefender doesn't find anything and neither does Malwarebytes.

Is this something that Firefox did at last update to 132.02 which is when it started happening? Are you now going to have ads all over?

How do I stop this before there is an accidental software install from what looks like a very questionable website.

It was called "Trendview" which an existing website that doesn't have a great reputation and no way to contact them on their website that I can find.

I can open Firefox and it works fine on my (admin) user account, as it has for years.

Starting today, when my wife is logged in on her account/user on the Mac, when trying to open Firefox there is a prompt "Firefox is trying to install a new helper tool" and requests the admin name and password. I authorized yes to install the helper tool, and then the Firefox icon bounces on the dock indefinitely and Firefox is "not responding" and never opens. If I force quit and try again, I get the same prompt to install the helper tool and the cycle begins again.

I think this started after I updated a BitWarden extension on Firefox on my wife's account, but not sure if that is what provoked the problem. The same Bitwarden extension exists on Firefox on the admin account, and that Firefox works fine.

What I have tried so far: Shut down all BitWarden apps. Refreshed Firefox on the admin account - which deletes the BitWarden extension. Moved Firefox to the trash. Restart the computer. Re-install Firefox from the admin account (Firefox again works just fine when admin is the user). But Firefox still does not work when another user (my wife) is on her account - same issue with asking to install a helper tool and Firefox never opens.

Hardware: MacBook Air M2, Seqouia 15.1

Any help is much appreciated.

Hi there,

Our website is not showing to our customers and they are receiveing this error MOZILLA_PKIX_ERROR_OCSP_RESPONSE_FOR_CERT_MISSING

We have checked our site with SSL Labs https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=locomotivestation.com.au and it returns showing the SSL is fine.

We can see the site and operate on Google Chrome but cannot work out why it is not displaying on Firefox.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi, I have AVAST anti-virus.

Trying to connect to my YAHOO site (and many other sites) from Firefox , I get an "unrecognized issuer" message regarding the AVAST CA: i.e. the avast certificate is not recognized (see image)

Trying to connect to the same site(s) from Chrome, I get a "valid CA" message regarding the YAHOO certificate (see image) - no AVAST CA in the middle (at least not mention in a message...) .

My question: Why ?

Hallo Wenn ich in Firefox eine Seite Öffne kommt sofort eine Betrugsversuchsmeldung von meinem Bitdefender Internet Security Programm. Inzwischen fast 500 mal seit 14 Tagen. Es handelt sich immer um die selbe Seite.

Habe die Seite am Router Und im PC  gesperrt. Hat nicht geholfen. Außer 2 Abstürze in den vergangenen Tagen kann ich jedoch keine Fehler oder sonstiges feststellen. Schon seit längerer Zeit kann ich mit Fierefox nicht mehr auf mein Bitdefender Central einwählen.

Hier die Copy der Meldung.

Wie kriege ich die Ratte wieder los.
