Hello, my name is Dimitris and I have pc with windows 11 and bitdefender total security installed and fully updated. Since yesterday when I open mozilla firefox a file on desktop appears with the name bd_config.cfg. I wonder whether my pc is infected with a virus or malware?

Best Regards

On Windows 10 with 64-bit Firefox, after updating from version 144 to 145, some local HTTP-only servers stopped working and became inaccessible. When I enter http://<local server name>, after a few seconds it automatically changes to https://<local server name>, and since no HTTPS service is running, it ends with a “Server not found” page. It seems to be related to DNS — accessing http://<IP address> works fine.

I tried a clean installation with a new user profile, but it didn’t help. Downgrading to version 144 fixes the problem, but at the cost of losing the user profile (which is a disaster). I also tried to check the HTTP-only settings (which I’ve never modified), but that didn’t help either.

Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?

Hi, I recently visited what I thought was a valid website only to get bombarded with ransomware popups. They state that my McAfee account has expired, an account that I never had, and they insist that I click their link to repair it. It doesn't appear to be a hack or that it is currently mining any info from my account. Obviously, I know better than to click on the link ( one of which is: d3venj8hubcc73ch6bp0.texonnerro.co.in TROJAN VIRUS FOUND Click here to secure your data. There are 4 different messages but all have the same URL address). It's really just annoying at this point. Also, it is specific to my Firefox browser. I have no issues when I use MS Edge. I looked to see if I could uninstall Firefox but did not find any way to do that. I know I would lose all my settings, etc doing that, but if that's the only solution, then so be it. Any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

To sign into Chatgbt I used my google account. Mozilla asks me "do I want to store info in persistent storage?" I click "learn more" about persistent storage. It takes me to a page that has zero mention of the words "persistent storage". That is a huge UX error. It says to me that really, you don't want me to know about persistent storage, and prefer that I remain confused and feel forced to agree to things I may not really want to, because you're making it difficult to understand what's actually involved. Not cool. Definitely now considering changing my browser after over 20 years.

My browser is being managed by "your organization" but I belong to NO organization. How do I regain control of my own browser?

Message reads: "Your browser is being managed by your organization" Please help me regain control of my browser!

Regards

At the top of my settings it says: Information: Your browser is being managed by your organization.

What does this mean? It's my personal laptop, I bought it myself and I don't work for any organization.

Thanks for your help. Nancy

Hi guys,

I'm on my personal computer and personal account and my "network administrator" (which I don't have) has turned on restricted mode in YouTube so I can't read comments on videos etc. I know I need to change my browser security settings, but I don't know to what exactly. Can anyone help? The restricted mode is infuriating me.

Hello Firefox Developers,

No pressure for this item.

I would like to request that there be an option to censor or hide the Firefox user information in the Firefox UI and in the Settings section for privacy and security reasons, especially when doing online streams or making online guides.

At least an option to either make it "l.............@..." with an eye option beside it. Like what the password field behaviour is in online forms.

It would be nice if the option were available to the end-users.

Thank you so much.

every download gets stopped with "This file contains a virus or malware", have to click on the file, then click "allow download" every time!

I check the file with my antivirus and it finds NOTHING!

To protect your security, abc.trilineenterprises.in will not allow Firefox to display the page if another site has embedded it. To see this page, you need to open it in a new window.why

I noticed yesterday, firefox is saving cookies from Private Browsing Windows after those windows have been closed.

See attached screen shots.

I did not change any settings. The only 'new' thing is I added AdGuard about 2 weeks ago.

Thanks

Hi. I'm on Tahoe since 24 hours. I have Lulu installed. Lulu blocked an outgoing connection called ping sender that wants to connect to 34.120.208.123 and is related to Mozilla as Lulu says. But when I run a whois on this ip I get
