Firefox Community Forum

Hello

I would like to report an issue on Firefox If i work on my Private domain on my laptop my cursor is moving alone some time to time I have also sometimes intrusion after my CPU FAN run very high

I'm on Linux Mint last version but I have also the issue on Linux Mageia 10. (last version one month ago)

I have posted some question to mageia Team Post : viewtopic.php?p=92060#p92060 viewtopic.php?p=93642#p93642

My Suspicion so far from now : The problem is probably an HTTP Flood that permits access to User Security.

So I have two problems: • The problem of the cursor moving. • I also have my CPU fan increasing speed from time to time without reason after I change my User Password. ( Less noticed on Mint so far from now but it's doesn't mean it's better )

After reinstalling my laptop and not moving files, the issue generally occurs again. It's less occuring if I change my IP Address, meaning if my Internet Provider change IP everyday it's less occuring

I went to discuss it with an External IT Consultant (we tried to scan the laptop for viruses and found nothing with multiple antivirus programs, DocWeb, Kaspersky, … ISO Boot Scan). So the issue is probably only an intrusion without any virus, as a Security Leak Exploit on Firefox

(maybe an HTTP Flood Attack from my IP found when I connect to my Domain). Both issues generally occurred first if Firefox was open. It stops if I close Firefox.

It occurred after my work on my private domain. I strongly think, after experimenting with reinstalling, rebooting, etc.,

it’s a security bug or issue on Firefox that makes someone able to control “a little” the cursor when the cursor is moving on the page, which makes life very difficult when you work on your stuff. The cursor is able to go up and down, up and down, something like that. Sometimes it goes across or moves to the bottom of the screen suddenly. Only from the CursorPad. If I use the button mouse controller from my laptop keyboard, the cursor does not move in the same way, I believe. I didn’t try so much with an external mouse. I don’t want to hide the issue.

Trying to currently install a Gateway on my Personal Internet Broadband (but currently an issue because my new Gateway turned off and was not able to start anymore, so I sent it back to the Seller). So still waiting for this.

Issue on Mageia or Mint, so the problem does not come from the distribution, but ( I suspect ) it took time for the guy to come back to the same level. Of intrusion, They need to adapt to the new version of the Distrib. I suspect I'm not 100% sure I’m reporting it to Mozilla Firefox, Mint, and Mageia here.

Thanks for your help. ( I have lot of problem of Availability currently... I'm sorry if I'm not replying so much )

Problem occured also on Mageia 9 and 10 last version

I keep getting small windows (boxes) on my computer that say they are from Mozilla Firefox. They say things like: Hackers control you Chrome! Run a scan immediately! Then at the bottom there are two options: Scan Now! and Block Malware

How do I stop these from continuing on my computer?

Thank you Jenny 10-1-26

Hey

I'm genuinely curious about Firefox BTS in this scenario.

Example: I open website (http://homedevice:1000) and it requires me to log in. Then I log in at (http://192*:1000) and it requires me to login. "homedevice" is a domain name for 192*, yet I still have to log in twice for the same IP under the same port. Why is it treated seperately the homedevice:1000 and the 192.*:1000 address?

I have FF-156 (snap) on *buntu 26.04, and if I use a custom user agent for privacy reasons, I no longer have access to some websites because Cloudflare thinks I am a bot. Somehow, Cloudflare is able to detect, that I am not running FF on Windows, and that suggests that some sort of fingerprinting defeats FF security settings.

Steps to reproduce on Linux: Update FF to latest version (156.0.Something), create a new profile, and go to "about:config", search for "general.useragent.override" and set the string value to "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:156.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/156.0". Go to "https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=63" and you will enter a "Verifying that your are a human" loop.

How can Cloudflare detect this change, and what is there to do about it?

the website netbenefits.401k.com manages my GE Pension. it's been flagged by firefox as not safe. how can i override this and stop it from blocking me.

My Firefox was taken over by a 'windows defender security center pop up scam. I closed Firefox by using task manager but everytime I reopen Firefox: get the same thing. Have had to use Epic, much to my dismay. What to do? should I uninstall Firefox and start over? Help. Thanks.

I am using a local library and it comes to me that I find some activities that occur whilst working on my daily tasks and wonder, I would really like to run a diagnosis in my tasks and activities and check if there are no spams running me dry.

In the Settings, the "HTTPS-Only" feature seems broken. There is an option to 'Don't enable" this feature, but that doesn't make any difference. I can get to an "http:" site using any other browser, but not with the latest Firefox.

Versuche ich eine bestimmte Internetseite aufzurufen erscheint: bnsrchrdr.com Vor dieser Seite wird gewarnt. Bei Microsft Edge habe ich dieses Problem nicht. Warum ist diese Seite nicht in deutsch?

It's a pity Firefox Focus is available only on iOS. Why can't it be a Mac desktop app, also? Or (even better!) maybe Firefox desktop browser could have a setting allowing "Private Window" to be the default view for new tabs or windows, and on startup.

Be careful. Something doesn’t look right.

Firefox spotted a potentially serious security issue with telewebion.ir. Someone pretending to be the site could try to steal things like credit card info, passwords, or emails.
