This past Friday morning, May 29, I tried to access www.healingwell.com which I have always been able to do. But this time Firefox gave me a red screen with message: "Firefox blocked this page because it might try to trick you into installing programs that harm your browsing experience, for example, by changing your homepage or showing extra ads on sites you visit." And same message again over the weekend. But yesterday, Monday June 1, I was able to access that website, and all seemed normal. Why did Firefox give me that message on Friday, but not yesterday or today?

Suggestion: I am interested in having a most secure version of Firefox that works just like TENS developed by US Air Force..

There is a program called TENS (Attached image) that is used by the Dept. of War that was developed by USAF. I would love to have a Firefox version that does the same thing on a bootable flash drive. I would use this only for banking, medical, IRS, SSA, etc. I am sure others would like it for different reasons, so include a statement to users that IP only log file is generated and state that this is for security/quality control/legal accountability of Firefox purposes and that this data is saved on your server.

After all of those years, am I witnessing now that FF literally failing?

How could it become mysterious by that it lets user's location leaked to github even though: - third-party HiFi company VPN is active and in OpenVPN UDP/TCP, Wireguard, IPv6 On/Off, etc... - No bookmark to corresponding website - Cache and website data were so-called cleaned, - Other browsers don't give that symptom, only FF - No related plugin, out of only 3

it's impossible to find out how it lends to the language and region query of this website every time after cleaning. Is FF getting closed app?

Is that a no-way-to-explain effect of language models' evolution is exponentially higher in every 4 months after two years?

Google has falsely flagged my own website. I need to disable Safe Browsing just to access it, so I set browser.safebrowsing.malware.enabled to false, but Firefox Android keeps reverting it to true on every restart. I really dislike this overbearing behavior. Does anyone know how to disable it permanently?

Was there any Webkit based Firefox or is it UA spoofing?

Hi all the people, I was just surprised to see this in an Apache HTTP log: "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Firefox/58.0.… (read more)

Hi all the people,

I was just surprised to see this in an Apache HTTP log: "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Firefox/58.0.1"

This bugs me. My first guess would be that a Webkit based Firefox could not be qualified as really Firefox. Although that, I could imagine a Firefox for iOS or MacOS based on Webkit, may be, but it says it is on Windows, which makes less sense.

I suspect this is a user agent string spoofing, but I just need to be sure (I try to get ride of far too invasive bots, while I’m afraid to disrupt browsing from legitimate web users).

With thanks and my apologizes for such a question which may looks obvious or strange to people who know for sure.

Further to the malware, it references Windows OS but has seized her Mac. I powered off. Rebooted. Within about 15 seconds of opening Firefox the malware pops up and freezes the Mac. By the third time I was able "force quit" Firefox and the other applications function properly. I beleive I deleted Firefox but probably didn't get it all out. I reinstalled firefox and upon booting up Firefox the malware is still activated. Can you please assist with a fix?

My cat jumped on my keyboad and Firefox detected 'unusual activity' She probably hit a combination of keys which lead to said activity. Instantly, I had to verify whether I was a human. I did, but really, it was my cat. Neither my cat, nor myself have bad intentions. I just thought Firefox security should know that these things might happen.

I hope that my cat's activity didn't compromise my account. Maybe 'unusual activity' should be less strict, though I do understand that Firefox must be vigilant. Maybe it would be a good idea to let users describe what happened, before sending Captcha?
