With Google selected as the default search engine if I enter any search term into the address bar I get:

Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This page checks to see if it's really you sending the requests, and not a robot. Why did this happen?

I'm then presented with a captcha. A serious PITA! Note that any proper address is evaluated properly.

Strangely enough if within a few seconds I enter the same term into the Chrome browser I get the expected number of results.

I can of course get around this by changing the default search engine but I'm wondering why Chrome works but Firefox doesn't. Win11 Home 23H2, all the latest Update fixes, latest Firefox and Chrome

just checked - seems to only happen with Windows, my Android phone doesn't have the problem...go figure

I want to be able to see the full text of my specific bookmark. My bookmark says "First National Bank of Huntsville". At present, it shows "First National Bank of..." Is there a way to do this?

How long before Nightly download site is available again?

It authenticates then says there is an error. Private doesn't work. Clear history doesn't work. Should I go back to a previous verson of Firefox? 133.0.3 (64-bit)but it's the only one that works. HELP. Thanks Guys. See images. marcij@harvestcapitalholdings.com

In my previous mail I stated, that after the last Firefox Update last week virtually all my Bookmarks in the Bookmark sidebar AND the Bookmark toolbar have been blanked out i.e. the URL links have been eliminated, the ext is still there with a 'world icon'. Firefox does not let me restore from a saved .json file. Please let me have a solution for this problem, which is absolute first since using Firefox 1 1/2 decades ago. Thank you

My main, daily used computer updated to FF 134.0 when it was released. Two other computers that are less used will not. All are Win10. The two computers were booted up this weekend, but when you try to check for updates, it says they are already up to date. Both are 133.0.3 and have never had update issues before.

Was the 134 update pulled for some reason?

I know I can probably manually download and install the update, but am worried there may be problems with 134.

Can you add a configuration setting to Mozilla Firefox to disable Create New Profile, configurable in the policies.json file? (A second option but a much uglier one would be to disable being able to select a file location for a new profile. Then you could make the default profile directory write only, which would also accomplish the same thing.) (A third option would be to able to configure extensions by default upon installation in the ExtensionSettings policy.)

To explain, I use LeechblockNG on Firefox on Ubuntu. Very helpful. By placing a policies.json file (see at bottom) in /etc/firefox/policies/ directory, I can create a system wide policy. I can make the LeechblockNG extension mandatory and to be installed upon every new profile creation. That all works very well. HOWEVER, there is NO way to be able to set those options in the new profile. So LeechblockNG is installed with default options (which are no blocking at all), which effectively bypasses the addon.

I am also writing the author of the leechblock extension to see if there is any way to set the options for leechblock upon installation (the third option above).

But I know other people have this same question, and at present, if I am correct, there is no way to block new profile creation, or the Profile Manager window in Firefox.

So could you please add that option to the Firefox policies.json configuration? Something like "DisableNewProfiles": true would do it.

Thanks!

My current policies.json file in /etc/firefox/policies/ directory: { "policies": { "BlockAboutConfig": true, "BlockAboutProfiles": true, "PrivateBrowsingModeAvailability": 1, "DisableSafeMode": true, "ExtensionSettings":{ "*": { "installation_mode": "blocked", "blocked_install_message": "Prohibited install more extensions." }, "leechblockng@proginosko.com": { "installation_mode": "force_installed", "install_url": "https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/4374316/leechblock_ng-1.6.6.xpi" } } } }

Hello,

on some websites firefox does add one space in front and after copied text. This does not happen with Safari or Chrome:

Example: If you try to copy the movie title you can reproduce the problem: https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/212989-lego-ninjago-dragons-rising

Firefox: " LEGO Ninjago: Dragons Rising (2023) "

Chrome & Safari: "LEGO Ninjago: Dragons Rising (2023)"

This happens on Windows and MacOS. I did not test Linux or other systems. Firefox Version was 134.0 ARM for MacOS and 133.0.3 64-Bit on windows.

Help!
