Why does Firefox no longer allow for a provision to remove the: "This connection is not secure." message?

Hello,

Firefox used to provide a way to remove the: "This connection is not secure." warning message for sites that are using "http". Believe me, I understand the need for security, but when the site is an internal, intranet site behind a firewall, why is there no longer a provision to turn this warning message off? This makes no sense to me. I have no problem with the "Not Secure" indicator up near the URL. That makes sense. Chrome does this, but they don't assume every "http" site is most likely dangerous. Again, I'm talking about "http" sites that are internal, intranet sites that can only be used by people inside their firewall.

Thank you, -Joe Hummer

Firefox built-in VPN Availability

So, can somebody please explain to me why Firefox VPN is now unsupported in so many countries where people can only exercise their freedom of information by using a VPN?

Do local laws and restrictions apply to the people of these countries because of their governments' actions, while those same governments don't even need a VPN to access such information? Instead, they censor it to prevent their citizens from accessing it.

You claim to be sanctioning the "governments", but in reality, you are only sanctioning the "people" — the very people who are actually fighting against their governments' practices.

Urgent Request to Restore Firefox VPN Access in Iran

Dear Mozilla / Firefox Support Team,

I am writing to formally and urgently request that you restore access to the Firefox VPN service for users in Iran.

Until recently, the Firefox VPN service was working very well for us. However, today we discovered that the service has suddenly become unavailable. Whenever we try to activate it, we receive the following message:

    • "VPN is inactive."**

This is extremely disappointing and frustrating, especially considering how important and necessary this service is for users in Iran.

Internet access in Iran is subject to significant restrictions, censorship, and limitations. Reliable VPN services are not simply a convenience for us; they are an essential tool for accessing the open internet, communicating freely, obtaining information, and carrying out everyday online activities.

We strongly urge Mozilla and the Firefox team to reconsider this restriction and make every possible effort to restore VPN availability for users connecting from Iran.

    • We respectfully but firmly request the following:**

1. Please investigate immediately why Firefox VPN has become unavailable in Iran. 2. Please clarify whether access has been deliberately restricted for Iranian users or whether this is a technical issue. 3. Please take the necessary steps to restore the service in Iran as soon as possible. 4. Please do not permanently exclude users in Iran from accessing this essential service. 5. Please provide an estimated timeline for restoring access.

We want to emphasize that users in Iran need this service more than ever. Disabling access to a reliable VPN creates additional difficulties for people who already face serious internet restrictions.

We genuinely appreciate Mozilla's commitment to an open, accessible, and free internet. We hope these values will also extend to users in Iran.

    • Please treat this request as urgent and escalate it to the relevant technical and policy teams. We strongly insist that Firefox VPN access for Iran be restored as quickly as possible.**

We look forward to receiving a clear response and, most importantly, a practical solution.

Thank you for your attention and cooperation.

Best regards, A Firefox user from Iran

Page content doesn't load correctly in Incognito only (works after changing IP or using a VPN)

Hi everyone,

I'm a website owner and not very technical, so please bear with me.

One page on my WordPress site does not display correctly for me in a Firefox Incognito window:

https://towalisoviejo.com/blog/towing-with-a-tow-strap/

What happens: - In Incognito, the page content sometimes doesn't load correctly. Refreshing doesn't fix it. - It only happens in Incognito. In a normal Firefox window the page looks fine. - Sometimes it starts working again if I change my IP address or turn on a VPN. - It is not constant. Some times it loads fine and other times it doesn't.

My questions:

1. What could cause a page to break only in Incognito? I know extensions are disabled there and there is no saved cache or cookies, but I don't understand why that would change how the page loads.

2. Why would changing my IP or using a VPN make it work? Could this be a caching, DNS, or network issue on my side, or does it point to a problem on the website's side?

3. What is the best way for a beginner to find out what is failing? I opened Firefox DevTools but I'm not sure what to look for in the Console and Network tabs. If someone can tell me what errors or failed requests to look for, I can share screenshots.

4. Is there anything I should test first, like clearing DNS cache, trying another browser, trying mobile data, or turning off Chrome's secure DNS or other settings?

I'm using firefox on windows. Thank you so much for any help.

Hello,

I am using Windows 10 (64-bit) and Mozilla Firefox.

Since Microsoft has ended Windows 10 support, I would like to know:

1. Will Firefox continue receiving security updates on Windows 10? 2. Will I continue receiving the latest Firefox versions? 3. Do I need to install Firefox ESR? 4. What do you recommend to keep Firefox secure on Windows 10?

Thank you for your help.

Firefox’s built-in VPN worked until yesterday, but now it loops between “Continue to VPN” and “Get started.”

I use Firefox 159.0.1 (64-bit) on Windows 11 Pro (64-bit).

I have already checked the following:

Signing out of my Mozilla account and signing back in several times did not help.

No “VPN - MVP Beta Holdback” study is listed.

“Allow Firefox to improve features, performance, and stability between updates” is enabled.

The Policies page says “The Enterprise Policies service is inactive.”

The preference browser.ipProtection.entitlementCache exists, but its value is empty. I have not changed or deleted it.

Please help me determine whether this is an account-eligibility problem, a service problem, or a Firefox issue. Please provide simple, step-by-step instructions.

VPN has yet to appear in my browser

Hello, I saw that Firefox is offering unlimited VPN throughout the holiday season on this article here: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/firefox/built-in-vpn-unlimited-data/?utm_medium=organicsocial&utm_source=reddit&utm_campaign=vpn&utm_content=

However, I have not yet received the option to use VPN whatsoever in my country Italy. I have checked the list of countries and I am sure it's supported...

I remember there was a similar program earlier this year which had unlimited browser VPN, but my Firefox browser still does not have VPN whatsoever at all.

How do I get access to VPN? Or do I have to contact support to get access? I'm just confused that I seemingly don't have any access to it, this would be my second time not being able to take advantage of the free VPN period.

I was was reviewing my FF settings to help a friend mimic some of my privacy and autoplay options (including settings in about:config regarding animations, autoplay, media, video, etc), and without deliberately changing anything related to my cookies permissions, I somehow messed them up my daily logins. I clear cookies and browsing data when I close the browser, but allow a half-dozen trusted sites only to keep their cookies. Despite my best attempt to save them as exceptions under

Settings > Privacy and security > Browsing data > Manage exceptions

I now have to login every time. Trying to figure out what I changed--or a helpful cat may have changed while walking across the keyboard and interrupting--and how to change it back. I've been reviewing the support articles but can't find my answer.

FF 160.0b5, MacOS 26.7.1

I may be slow in responding because I'll be away from this computer for the rest of the day, but I really appreciate tips on how to navigate this again.

Hi Firefox Support Team, I have been using Firefox Sync for almost 5 years without any issues. Every time I reset my PC, I simply log into my Firefox Account, and all my saved passwords, bookmarks, and sync data restore automatically. However, after my latest PC reset, I logged into my usual Firefox account, but none of my saved passwords or bookmarks were restored. The sync seems completely empty. I did not reset or change my account password before or after this process. Could you please check if my account data is still stored on the Sync servers, or help me understand if there was any server-side glitch during the sync fetching process? This account contains critical passwords collected over the last 5 years. Account Email: sakibshovon62@gmail.com

hello, i'd like to inform my disappointment from not being able to access to vpn solely because of my region, which we need VPN to do our basic activity in a daily basis, especially university students such as me who uses the firefox VPN to ressearch, study and fulfilling our projects.

due to war situations which has erratically caused sky rocketing inflations and to mention on strict sanctions, we're facing with sacrificing our needs for the sake of survival . it's really expensive to buy VPNs here, so i'd like a review on giving access to iranian users again

thank you for readding this.
