I recently updated Firefox browser. Since doing so, I get a warning window that pops up after launching Firefox advising that VERIFICATION.EXE "contains a virus or malware."

I assume that verification.exe is associated with Firefox. What am I supposed to do in response to that message?

Thanks,

I want to delete/cancel the relay service for my nytimes subscription. I simply wanted to see how the service works. Now all my emails and notifications from nytimes.com are duplicated, one comes directly, then again via the relay. How do I cancel this? Everything in Mozilla/Firefox is aimed at selling more services, not canceling anything.

every time whe I download a rar file it is opened with winrar even the setting for the rar file extension is set to save and not open the file. Also some about:config settings I learned from some forums on the web do not help. I think this missbehaviour took place in the past after updating FF but I cannot remember which update it was. How can I configure FF to not open downloaded rar files with winrar (I want FF only to save the file)?

I would like to suggest a Chg 2 DNS resolution, don't return 404 4 http://coles.5118.50.au allow a 'Config' to RTN IPV4 Addr. eg 203.217.10.10

As a index.html cannot be found on HTTP server as DNS A record doesn't exist, use AI to build a static HTML page we call these Go Pages from a template 'Config'

This means that AI generates HTML / CSS / JS instead of a web server returning a list of files from ITs disk.

Now we have No DNS Web ?

I'm having a problem logging into one of my banking sites. I talked to the bank tech support yesterday and did a password reset. There was nothing wrong with my old password. That worked yesterday but today I'm back to the same problem. It won't log me in.

I deleted cookies and cleared cache but still not logging me in. I tried another browser (Edge) and got right in. In Firefox, I use private mode to log into financial accounts but I also tried the regular browser and still won't let me in. This is the only account I have a login problem with. It did work after the password reset if that's a clue but I don't want to have to do that every day just to check my account.

Here is the site:

https://www3.citizensbankonline.com/efs/servlet/efs/login.jsp

I need a fix for this. It's very inconvenient and it is the only account I have a problem logging into with Firefox.

Thanks for the help.

The web page

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Native_messaging#troubleshooting

says: if the native application sends any output to stderr, the browser will redirect it to the browser console.

Is that still supposed to work? I'm asking because it seems that in recent versions of firefox that no longer works. I do not see any output that my native app emits to stderr. I tried multiple systems (all Windows based) and multiple versions of Firefox (including "115.9.1esr (64-Bit)" and "116.0.3 (64-bit)")

I'm having this exact problem from here , but browser.taskbar.lists.tasks.enabled has always been set to true. Toggling it does nothing in itself in between restarting my machine. I am certain it's not a jump menu thing because this isn't about shortcuts (and besides the point, enabling the jump shortcuts from my OS side of things does not display it either way). I just want the stuff that the user in the above link listed.

Coincidentally, I had this exact problem a short while before, and I think it may have had to do with an update, because I remember Firefox updating at least twice fairly recently and it is in this time I've noticed this issue. The first time around it resolved itself, but this time it has not and I do not know the cause.

Unpinning/pinning the icon on the task bar does not resolve this either. It seems none of the conventional solutions in the past work, so unless I am missing something, something broke.

Hello!

Since at least one update, and maybe two, I have been having the following experience:

For context: I do remote work via Zoom and Teams. I am using an iMac running Sonoma 14.1. I use a magic keyboard and magic mouse. I bought the computer in March of 2023.

1. Open Firefox and use it for a while. All is well.

2. Out of nowhere, with no sequence or pattern I have been able to discern so far, Firefox stops responding to left button mouse clicks. Right ones still work.

3. Quit Firefox and re-open.

4. It responds to left button clicks again.

I don't usually have to do this more than once per day, although I had had days during which I had to do it two or three times.

This does not occur in Safari or Chrome.

Thoughts? X-sH

I'm running Firefox 123.0.1 on Linux Mint 21.2. Something changed after my last update. I visit a number of web sites at which I scroll down a window to a link, click on it to open it, read that link, and then return to the previous page. Examples are news sites like slashdot.org, associated press, or arcamax. Firefox used to return to the place in the original site page where I had clicked on a link. Now, it returns to the top of the original site page, and I have to scroll down again to where I had clicked on a link. I can right click on a link, open a new tab, and then close that tab, but that requires multiple clicks, and I used to just click/click. Is there a way to set up Firefox to go back to the previous behavior? Thanks in advance. ;

I'm using the Firefox browser for Android. When I'm on Bluesky with my Android phone and go to create a post, I tap the image to upload an image. I get the post editor box on the top, the keyboard on the bottom. When I tap the image to add a photo, the keyboard disappears leaving only the box to edit the post and it doesn't go on to the next step where I would choose the image I want to upload. I'm using Firefox for Android 124.0 and a Galaxy A53 5G with One UI 6.0. Android version 14. Also, I have it set to use Spanish.

while reading an MSNBC or Fox News article (for example) from flipboard, suppose there is a video at the top of the article. But I don't want to watch that video... I just want to read the article that appears below it. So I start to scroll down, reading the article, and when the video scrolls off the screen at the top, a picture-in-picture with that video appears at the right side of the article, (sometimes blocking part of the article). If I had wanted to see the video, I would have watched the video! STOP these blasted picture-in-picure pop-ups.

Every time I look for help online, all I see is how to enable/disable the PIP controls, and no help on how to block PIPs themselves.

Sorry for the long post, but I don't know how else to describe the problem succinctly. Jerry (at wit's end)
