Hello,

support.mozilla.org/kb/website-translation says, when you do not have downloaded translation packs, parts of the packs will be downloaded when you first use the translation function.

My questions about this feature: - How does this work exactly? - Will the words from the website which i try to translate be collected and "downloaded"? - How are the translation language packs parted? - What information will be used and sent to servers/cloud to request these parts of the translation packs?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Dear Community,

i had .cfg file with following settings to clean up some userdata after closing firefox:

//Clean UP Cache etc. lockPref("privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown", true); lockPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.cache", true); lockPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.cookies", false); lockPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.offlineApps", true); lockPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.sessions", false);

This cleaned the "Storage" Folder in the Firefox Profile folder, but cookies and sessions where remaining, so the logins where active.

Now i saw that all useres have lots of folders in the "Storage/Default" folder. After some research i found out that this behavior startet at 02.10.2024.

I also found a new pref: privacy.clearOnShutdown_v2.cookiesAndStorage which was set to "false". No idea where this key came from? When I set this key to "Yes", the storage is cleared after closing Firefox. But so also all the cookies. Was there a change at the prefs?

And is ther any other solution to clear the Storage but remain the cookies?

Thank you in advance!

Hello,

Our organization is attempting to implement a Conditional Access policy that restricts access to certain websites to Intune joined devices only. The error message mentions that I need to enable a setting from within Firefox called Windows SSO, mentioned here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/windows-sso. This setting is already enabled and I am still getting an error.

Is there anything else that could be causing this?

Hello. I know how to define a server certificate exception to avoid browser warnings in case of certificate issue with a website (see attachment). However, I'd like to apply that exception for all users with access to my machine using a GPO (for user or local machine). This is also a requirement in my work where many users run Firefox from a server and the face browser warnings all the time (related to self-signed certificates) so it would be great to apply an exception for all users through a GPO specifying the self-signed certificate warning we want Firefox to ignore. Thanks.

Hello!

Currently we deploy Firefox via SCCM Package on our machines. The problem is, that Firefox currently only updates itself when you opened it once. This leads to all sorts of Vulnerability warnings etc.

At the moment these regkey settings in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox are configured: AppAutoUpdate (REG_DWORD) 0x00000001 (1) DisableAppUpdate (REG_DWORD) 0x00000000 (0)

These two are enough for the updates, when the user opened Firefox (and created a profile).

So we tried the information detailed on this page: https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/toolkit/mozapps/update/docs/BackgroundUpdates.html

To achieve a 100% unattended update we added following Key: BackgroundAppUpdate (REG_DWORD) 0x00000001 (1) which yielded no results. Firefox stayed on his old Version (V131 for this example).

We also added pref("app.update.langpack.enabled", false) in the autoconfig.js File as kind of a 'hail mary' action (bc. the documentation wrote, that this setting should be disabled); but it still does not work.

We've been through this rabbit hole quite some times now, and researching it also yields inconclusive results. (answers like: you still need to start Firefox once, before it can update).

So, what are we missing/doing wrong? Is a true unattended Background Update even possible or is "start Firefox once to create a profile" still the only way to go?

Thanks in advance for your time & help

When I go to some websites, such as Corair.com it hangs. I cannot click on anything. If I try to access specific pages via a search engine the same happens. I can close the browser but the 8+ processes don't terminate so I have to kill them from task manager.

I clear all of my browser history when I close FF so I can't remember all of the sites this happens on, but it was more than just Corsair.com.

I'm using 140.2.0esr, but also had the problem with 140.1.0esr. I did not have this issue on 128.12.0esr (I upgrade to 140 after that).

I tried turning use hardware acceleration off/on, that didn't fix it.

I am just about to try safe mode.

Hello,

We are trying to automate updating Firefox ESR from 32bit to 64bit. There seems to be an issue with getting user's profiles to properly migrate for ESR. If we do a plain 32bit uninstall and 64bit installation, a new "default-esr-1" profile gets created (which is expected behavior from these Mozilla docs for new installs). But, when we set the MOZ_LEGACY_PROFILES=1 policy, this reverts to using the "default" profile instead of "default-esr" profile that was previously in use.

Are there any known ways around this which does not require user intervention to manually change back to the "default-esr" profile?

Thank you

These 2 extensions just installed themselves in Firefox ESR and disabled ALL my current extensions!!? I can't seem to remove them either.. please help!

I'm running Parrot OS (Linux) and had just signed myself in @hackthebox.com , which is a friendly place where people can learn to develop their cybersecurity skills. security on this site should be great, i don't know if this could be the issue...

Thanks in regards!

Hello. When navigating YouTube on the main page, if you simply Hover the mouse over "Previous page (Alt+Left)", then SOMETIMES strange music or some strange video plays. Important: there is no video of this unknown video, just the sound plays. Other browser tabs are closed, only the YouTube tab is open. I use Firefox ESR, since I have Windows 7, I use the latest version of Firefox ESR. The extensions that are installed are Ublock origin and uvpn. I don't know if it could have been infected by an unknown virus? I scanned with ESET, installed Comodo, but the problem was not solved. I would really like you to sort this out. Please don't ignore me. I want to understand what's going on. I am open to new questions on this topic that will help resolve this situation.

We have Firefox deployed and managed through Intune/Endpoint and all works well but every device has an error with this line of the policy:

UserMessaging_FirefoxLabs [./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/Firefox~Policy~firefox~UserMessaging/UserMessaging_FirefoxLabs] STATE Error SOURCE PROFILES Source Profile Mozilla_Firefox_Configuration ERROR CODE 0x87d1fde8

The error code is the same on all devices and is the only one present in on each device config.

Does anyone have any idea what the issue and resolution would be?

Thanks, Matt

I confirmed this problem on two separate computers(windows 7 and windows 11) and version 115.23.0 of Firefox ESR can not properly play streams on twitch.tv

Audio will play, but the video does not load with only a black screen with question mark icon replacing video feed.

Dear Mozilla Firefox Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

We manage a network of workstations that frequently utilize the Mozilla Firefox browser. Recently, we have encountered a situation where many of our systems are showing vulnerabilities due to pending browser updates. The updates are being installed successfully; however, users often neglect to restart the browser, which is crucial for completing the update process and ensuring security.

To address this, we would like to inquire if there is an existing Group Policy that can be configured to automatically notify users when they need to restart their Firefox browser to apply the latest updates. Such a feature would greatly assist us in maintaining the security integrity of our workstations and ensuring that users are made aware of the importance of restarting their browsers when prompted.

If this functionality is not currently available, we would appreciate any insights on potential workarounds or future plans to incorporate such a feature.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. We look forward to your response.

Hello,

New subscriber here. I have been given the task to test the install and uninstall of the Purview Firefox browser extension using Intune. I created 2 groups in EntraID, one for each (install and uninstall).

I have no issues with the installation. Initially, I left the test device in the install group and then added it to the uninstall group to remove it. (this usually works with other apps, it worked this way with the Purview Chrome browsing extension as well other apps) but when I do this, nothing happens.

Next, I removed the device from the install group and added it to the uninstall group only. Once the configuration profile applies to the test device, it allows the user to remove it manually (before it did not) but the extension remains installed.

I have created a policy using the administrative template extension uninstall option as well as with the OMA-URI settings but the same happens. When i check the device configuration for the device in Intune, it says it succeeded but that is not the case. The OMA-URI setting I was not too sure about, but gave it a shot. I used the UUID value for the Purview Firefox extension

I am attaching some pictures and hope someone can tell me what I am doing wrong. I can add additional information, if needed. I have opened a ticket with Microsoft last week but have not called me yet. I ran into this forum today.

Thanks in advance

With Firefox 115.14.0esr, 115.2esr and 128.xesr we can`t log in into a company website with a certificate. After the certificate login we end up on the WebSeal again. Http status 302 for pkmslogin.form and pkmscertpromptstagen is called ~12x repeatedly with 302 error each time and then jump back to the login screen.

Current version of Firefox has

    (1) popups to get me to download a new version,
    (2) tab pickup,
    (3) popups to show
    article titles,
    (4) popups to show
    current URLs.

I just want to download the install programs until I get the most recent one that has none of (1) - (4).

I need to go back 1, 3, 5, 10 years?

So where on the Internet should I go to get such an old Firefox install program?

I used to really like Firefox, but changes (1) -- (2) have ruined it for me.

Firefox is used on Windows 11 Enterprise. There is a firefox.cfg in the installation directory (and an autoconfig.js in the ./defaults/pref sub-directory). Everything works fine when a pref(...); entry is written to the firefox.cfg. However, we want the firefox.cfg to call the pref(...); entries from a global_config.js which is saved on the machines public directory.

Therefore, the firefox.cfg says:

// free line lockPref("autoadmin.global_config_url","file:///C:/Users/Public/.../global_config.js");

But firefox does not load whatever prefs are written to the global_config.js. There probably is problems with the formatting of the file path (file:///C:/Users/Public/.../global_config.js). What would the correct formatting look like? Unfortunately, Mozilla´s support guide only includes an example code for a firefox.cfg which calls a global_config.js via http:, but not via file:.
