Firefox version

   128.2.0esr (64-bit)

Operating system

   Windows 10/Windows11 23H2 Septembre patch

Hello everyone,

maybe you can tell me/explain what the problem could be.

In our company we had Firefox version 115.14.0esr (64-bit) and then we updated to 128.2.0esr (64-bit).

Since version 128.2 ESR we have experienced problems in Firefox when trying to access DNN+ pages (with login). https://www.dnn.de/sport/regional/dresdner-sc-denkt-ueber-uebernahme-der-margon-arena-nach-C3IC74MZ6FE43AKGCZJSKUXA3I.html

In Firefox the content is cut off, in Edge it is displayed normally.

With Edge and Firefox 115.14.0esr the page is displayed normally. No AdBlock installed.

In developer mode I see the errors in the versions, so it shouldn't be that.

Cross-source (cross-origin) request blocked: The same-source rule prohibits reading the external resource on https://gum.criteo.com/sid/json?origi...AAAAAAAA&gdpr=1. (Reason: CORS request failed). Status code: (null).

Cross-source (cross-origin) request blocked: The same-source rule prohibits reading the external resource on https://id5-sync.com/api/config/prebid. (Reason: CORS request failed). Status code: (null).

Any ideas? Thank you very much! :)

Debian 12 Linux on Dell laptop. Current "updated version" Firefox ESR 128.4.0esr (64bit) I received an update notice for Firefox ESR this morning. After running the Update, I lost the status bar. How can I get it back?

Le 05 novembre 2024 Bonjour, Je ne parviens pas à faire la mise à jour FireFox. J'utilise un MAC OS X version 10.9.5 Processeur 2,7GHz Intel Core 15 Mémoire 8 Go 1600 MH DDR3 MERCI de bien vouloir me répondre en Français. Bonne journée. Cordialement.

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.

Hi All, I want to block traffic on firefox externally for managed devices via Intune, following the import of the ADMX/ADML files into intune.

I have set '\Mozilla\Firefox\Exceptions to blocked websites' to the following

• //*.mydomain.com/*

which works, however, I also want to add hosts that are only resolving on IPs and not DNS. I can add specific IPs if known, but is there a way I can allow IP ranges? Ie

• //10.10.*/* (this doesn't currently work)

Of the included screenshot, only the wildcard for mydomain.com and the specific IP currently work

If there is a better way to do this via intune for firefox only, please let me know.

Thanks

Dear Agent, My computer has been updated to Windows 11 from Windows 10. The Firefox profile settings has not changed from Windows 10 to Windows 11. How can I edit or update to Windows 11 in my Firefox profile?

Regards,

I look after about 20 PCs. All Windows 10. All were running Firefox ESR ranging from 115 - 128. As I get time I update each to the latest 128.x. Using group policies I've disabled all update settings.

However, on two of the PCs, they have updated to v139.0.1. Both of the users swear they did not manually do any update. I can't figure out how they got downgraded to the retail channel.

So my question is, since 128 < 139 how can I get them back on to the ESR channel, without loosing history, bookmarks, passwords and saved logins? I gather FF's installer will detect 128 as an older version and throw an error?

ESR -> Retail to me is a downgrade. So is it possible then to upgrade back to 128.11.x?

Each PC is refreshed annually and the only backup of the profile folder I have is from the last refresh, which in most cases in 8-9 months old.

Is there any way to find out why the downgrade happened when group policy forbids it, and the user did not manually download and install the latest version?

When these downgrades happen they break things. For example, when one PC was downgraded to retail his outlook.com email no longer works. If he uses his laptop which is on 128.11.0 it works fine.

Hello community :)

hope everybody is doing well. I´m coming here with with asking for a help.

I´m managing browsers (Google Chrome, MS Edge and Firefox) in my company via GPOs. What we´ve been dealing with since 135 version came up is having the "Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue error page , Error insufficient cert transparency" while visiting our internal resources.

Despite of having the security.pki.certificate_transparency.disable_for_spki_hashes set up -> main three certificate hashes are correctly added, basically copying the setup from Chromium browsers , where everything works as expected , Firefox is not.

The only way how to make it work is via security.pki.certificate_transparency.disable_for_hosts , which is , of course, not desirable , because of the security risks.

Does anyone face the same issues ?

Thank you very much ya´ll

Recently we've began installing Firefox 140.2.0esr to our environment via the .msi file that Mozilla provides, however we're running in to a very odd incident.

After approximately 24 hours from installing Firefox esr to devices, it appears that the application is "updating" to 141.0.3 on the "release" channel. As far as I'm aware, this shouldn't be possible to begin with. But we've applied these settings via GPO:

Computer Config > Policies > Admin Templates > Mozilla > Firefox Application Autoupdate = Disabled Pin updates to a specific version = Enabled = Set to 140.2.0 Background updater = Disabled Disable Update = Enabled Manual Update Only = Enabled

After applying the GPO, confirmed this appears within the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox\ AppAutoUpdate = 0 AppUpdatePin = 140.2.0 BackgroundAppUpdate = 0 DisableAppUpdate = 1 ManualAppUpdateOnly = 1

At this point, I'm at a loss. We cannot have rapid release be what's installed in our environment. Is there something broken with 140.2.0 or are we doing something wrong here?

I have recently needed to update my motherboard, and the workshop put my C: and D: drives into an old second-hand motherboard they had. I have now checked Firefox - which was on my C: drive, and it works with all my old bookmarks. However I seem to now be part of an 'Enterprise', which I do not want. How do I get rid of my involvement with an Enterprise within Firefox? Thanks for your help. Kanga85

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.

Hi all,

For quite a while I'm working together with others on a voluntary base (nobody gets money) as members of a computer-club, a charitable NGO and NPO (in German: gemeinnütziger Verein) for seniors in order to bring them closer to the use of digital devices and media. It's not only teaching, but administrating the hard- and software as well.

I can remember that it was possible in former versions of Firefox to include at least a script into "defaults->prefs". I think it was user.js (not sure) in the installation folder to define common preferences to be fixed, like proxi settings. It always worked well, preventing non-privileged users from making any unwanted changes. As a I found out there must have been a very similar way to include add-ons (like uBlock Origin).

Unfortunately all content I found was older than about 10 years. When trying setting up Firefox as it is now, my test system didn't care about anything I've tried.

I'm talking about > 50 Windows-PC having in average 3 user profiles each (for teaching more than 400 members). We are amateurs regarding PC administration, except some network ex-professionals. "Baking" installation media including our needs, as I already found on Mozilla's pages, seems to be beyond our abilities as well as distributing a fitting profile (we don't have a MS-server), not speaking about Group Policies.

Is there any usable guideline for people like us? Today, each FF-installation looks different and I would like to unify this as easy as possible.

Hello, Mozilla community.

I am trying to configure a Firefox ESR installation so that every new user on a computer automatically receives a visual customization (a logo change on about:home) through userChrome.css and userContent.css files.

My goal is to do this without using Group Policy (GPO) or logon scripts, by only modifying the files in the Firefox installation folder.

Environment:

Firefox Version: Firefox ESR 140.3.0esr

Operating System: Windows 11 Pro

Context: Standalone machine, managed without Active Directory.

My Question:

Is this method of deploying a default profile via installation files (defaults/profile or distribution.ini) still supported in recent versions of Firefox ESR?

Is there an additional step or configuration I am missing for Firefox to recognize and use the bundled profile when creating a user's first profile?

Is there any policy in policies.json that could be interfering or that is required to enable this behavior?

Thank you very much for your help and your time.

We are allowing end user to scan 2D matrix barcode using a wedge scanner in our application. We are facing a problem where different elements of the bar code are not getting split into the application. On investigating this further, we found that Firefox browser not recognising the FNC character(input character 29) coming from input stream (barcode scanner in this case).

I've been tasked with removing Firefox from all Windows workstations in our enterprise environment. Our users don't have local admin, so when they install Firefox, it is installed in the user's profile.

I've just installed Firefox 143.0.1 in my own user profile for testing purposes. However, when I attempt to uninstall, either from Control Panel or by running %localappdata%\Mozilla Firefox\uninstall\helper.exe manually, UAC prompts for elevation, even though I installed without elevating.

I've dug in a bit more, and I found this was an issue five years ago as well:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1286070

According to that post, the issue was resolved, but it seems to have come back.

Any help would be appreciated.

Greetings!

I am using the firefox enterprise version and I have noticed an issue that the browser does not capture mouse events when the pointer is at rightmost edge of the firefox window. For example, on this website near the edge the pointer would initially focus on the scroll bar and then lose focus at the edge (see attached images).

This issue does not persist on x11, and only seems to exist on wayland. It also exists on other flavours of firefox on wayland.

If more information is required, feel free to send me a ping.

I have a few questions regarding the auto-update policy of extensions installed via ExtensionSettings with the force_installed installation mode.

1. Can the extension receive auto-updates just like extensions installed through normal means? (e.g. extensions installed from https://addons.mozilla.org)
2. If so, will the user be notified when the extension requests new permissions?
