This is the second time I have put this forward. Using Firefox on Windows 10, I am unable to view yahoo emails. I get a white screen with a black bar across the top. Yahoo will tell me I have "5 unread messages". If I go into Yahoo using Edge, I can view the emails (which is why I think it must be a Firefox problem, but I may be mistaken. The one response was to empty the cache and such, which I have done and it doesn't help. Does Firefox not empty its cache each time I leave the site?

If this is a Firefox/Yahoo interactive problem, I apologize - it may be something about Yahoo. I have wandered all over their support sections though, without finding a potential solution.

Thanks for any support/suggestions you can make.

Hi,

I am developing a website of my own and in that website I want to implement a handler for Content-Security-Policy violation reports. I want to test if this handler works as I expect and therefore I have configured a webpage such that is will report CSP violations (I see them in the web developer console) and I want to have them sent to my application's CSP-violation handler.

In my test environment, the application is running on localhost. I have run my web application both on HTTP and HTTPS (with a self-signed certificate), but in neither case Firefox is sending any reports to my application.

My CSP headers look as follows: Content-Security-Policy: report-uri http://localhost:5281/csp-violation;base-uri 'none';default-src 'self';form-action 'none';frame-ancestors 'none';report-to csp-viol;script-src 'unsafe-eval' 'nonce-9FuQ3NuVoW66DT1ZU4w9EPSymnHE1/hg';style-src 'unsafe-eval' 'nonce-9FuQ3NuVoW66DT1ZU4w9EPSymnHE1/hg' Reporting-Endpoints: csp-viol=http://localhost:5281/csp-violation Report-To: {"group":"csp-viol","max_age":10886400,"endpoints":[{"url":"http://localhost:5281/csp-violation"}]}

When I run my application using HTTPS, all HTTP in the endpoints will also be HTTPS.

I have verified that when I post something by hand to http://localhost:5281/csp-violation, my handler is executed, so that is not the issue. I believe that Firefox is just not sending the reports. Is there a way to configure Firefox such that it will send the CSP violation reports to my application when run on HTTP(S) on localhost?

Sincerely, Marcel

I have Firefox on two Windows computers and was wondering what is the proper way to sync them.

One computer is not used often and I want to sync Firefox on it it with the Firefox on the computer I use daily so I want the Firefox that does not have the updated files updated using the Firefox data files on the computer I use daily and not the other way around. So what is the correct procedure to do this other than to make sure the Firefox program version is updated on the computer that is not used often?

Thanks

I use FF on desktop. Recently, I've run into a problem. My desktop browser will not load any pages... except Youtube. Youtube loads just fine, I can open a video or browse channels or community pages normally. I have fully reset my browser, reinstalled it, and disabled extensions. Other browsers on my PC will work normally. I have very few extensions: Sponsorblock for Youtube, uBlock Origin, and Facebook Container, that's it. I am not using a proxy or VPN. Troubleshoot mode did not fix the issue. I'm not the most tech savvy, so I apologize if I missed anything here.

Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!

In the "General" section of my Firefox Settings, it states that "Your browser is being managed by your organization."

When I click on that, it shows the word "Certificates" under Policy Name, and "ImportEnterpriseRoots" under Policy Value.

Is this something that Firefox installed, or is it something a third-party (like my former company) installed on my computer.

Also, would this possibly slow down my computer?

Thanks for your feedback.

I understand that as from 14th March 2025 I will need to update Firefox. I am currently running 102.0 and have sucessfully prevented Firefox from updating to later versions. I did this to prevent the updates positioning the tabs in the wrong place. Please can you tell me if the CSS script that I use to put them back into their correct position, i.e. below the Bookmarks Toolbar, will still work.

Also, will newer versions allow the user to choose where the tabs are positioned? It was possible to do this in earlier versions and the choice is also available in other browsers.

I have also managed to stop Windows 10 updating for several years too, Microsoft kept altering my laptop in unacceptable ways.

When attempting to drag/Insert picture into email text, the message "The following files couldn't be attached: filename.jpg. Please try again later." appears. I have not been able to find a solution. The dragged/Inserted picture always ends up outside the email text box and cannot be moved into it. What is a solution?

Is this something new or do I need to reload Firefox? Firefox 133.03 64-bit is up to date on Windows 10.

It worked last Christmas!!! It is not important now that the holiday is over but would like to fix it.

I always use the middle mouse button (pressing the scroll wheel) to open and close new tabs, but since the update, it doesn't work anymore and now types "=" if the cursor is in a text field. For context, I use an MX Master S3, mapped with Logi Options+.

Anyone else having this issue? How do I roll back to the previous version??

SOLVED: It was a bug with Logi Options+, not Firefox. When I hovered over the tab for the presets I had for CaptureOne, I noticed it also said Firefox. So seems something weird happened there. Deleted that preset and the issue in Firefox went away.

I couldn't find a way to delete this thread, though.

Greetings all, my trusty Firefox stopped working. Error Code PR_Connect_reset_error. Other browsers work fine. I have windows 10 with the latest updates and use Kaspersky Internet Security 21.3.10.391 (m). I have paused Kaspersky, uninstalled then reinstalled Firefox 3 times. I have cleared all Firefox cookies and caches a number of times. On my 2nd Firefox reinstallation Firefox worked ok for a couple of times then stopped again with the same error code. Please note that I am not very familiar with computer stuff so any suggestions need baby steps. Many thanks.

I've been using Firefox as my browser for a few years. I have to explain this. I turned 65 this year so I had to sign up for medicare. You have to go to the Social Security web site to sign up for medicare. I've had an acct with SS for a long time. When you log in it, it now gives you a choice. It tells you the normal log in "My SS" will eventually be stopped. They give you a choice of "Login.gov" I forgot the other, both telling you that you have to set up a 2nd type of authentication that it's you. So I purchased and installed a fingerprint scanner. I love it. I created an acct with login.gov. After logging in the next step is the fingerprint. You click on it the color things start swirling around trying to pick up the scanner but this box at the same time appears over it preventing login from seeing it. It says "this is a request from firefox" I've been using Turbotax for a year or two. Last week I logged into my acct with them and right away it popped up it see's the scanner and let me sign in with the fingerprinrt. So I know it works, and other sites do see it. Please Help! I'm not very technical with this stuff. Is it from Firefox or is it my PC? Attached is a pic of what I get trying to log in. You can zoom in on it.

When I try to sign into eBay, a multi-photo comes up asking me to identify like objects in order to be allowed to enter the program. I believe Firefox is causing this problem. How can I fix the problem?

I'm trying to access my https://mypay.dfas.mil account, but, though previously all was well, now an error message tells me that you "can't connect to the server".

I have a network connection, but apparently Firefox may no longer have "permission to access to the web". I'm sure this is wrong because I can still access pretty much everything in the normal way, including other government sites, such as Social Security, using the Login.gov portal, though mypay is not listed as 'connected.'

What happened, and how do I fix it? Also, the error message says that I should "Check that Firefox has permission". How do I do that?

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:.
