I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Having the exact same issue as [this one] and [this one].

In Firefox, a virus warning is persistently being triggered by an old threat that was mitigated (deleted) long ago, but is still showing up in [Windows Defender Detection History].

I believe the problem would be solved if Firefox would ignore the detection history, for threats that have been mitigated.

One option would be to turn Firefox warnings off altogether, and leave everything to Windows Defender. I don't want to do that just yet.

I did try to clear that history, to no avail. Here's what I tried.

- [Clearing the event log] - [a support tip from Microsoft] - Is there some process holding on to that directory? ProcessExplorer nor Resource Manager find it, not by DetectionHistory nor by its handle, as per [this post] and [this one] - Navigating in Windows Explorer, I can't get any further than "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\scans". That is, I can't get to "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Scans\History\Service\DetectionHistoryhistory". - Trying [these tips] did not help either. Even when I'm user `nt authority\system` who owns that history file, I can't delete it. Access denied always. Running `chkdsk` with the `/sdcleanup` option did remove other, empty subdirectories in `...\DetectionHistory`, but not `.\13\68295B79-72DC-433F-88C7-42E23422F5D8`. - [this] limits the time to keep the detection history. I set it to 1 day, checked two days later, it was still there.

I'm on Windows 10 Pro v 22H2 build 19045.3324, with Firefox version 116.0.2 (64-bits).

Screenshot of warning and detection history attached.

In Firefox, when I type 'news' into google instead of getting a list of links it takes me straight to the Financial Times website. Is this an issue with google or is Firefox being hyjacked?

trying to get our emails through our firefox email account failed saying "not able to get a secure connection" This has never happened before on our home computer. What has gone wrong?

To make sure the kids are doing their schoolwork I need to see which computer (device) opened a website in the history. When I manage history I don't see any option for this information.

I use Windows 10 on an HP desktop computer and want to get rid of BING entirely. I'm not a computer whiz, so I need step-by-step instructions.

Please help!

when I view a stock quote in Google Finance If I move my Windows cursor into the price chart and move the chart cursor to a new date or time the tab will hang. I can no longer move the chart cursor. Reloading the tab will no longer work. I have to delete the tab and then use History to reload it. There is no problem as long as I keep the Windows cursor out of the stock chart area.

I have several tabs with stock data from Google Finance open at the same time. For example. https://www.google.com/finance/quote/TSLA:NASDAQ https://www.google.com/finance/quote/AAPL:NASDAQ https://www.google.com/finance/quote/MSFT:NASDAQ

I am running Windows 11 up to date and Firefox 116.02. This has been a problem for a long time.

Some of the scripts are not loading or working properly, like clicking boxes and notifications on some sites. Most recently this happened on the New Statesman website, I doubt they haven't optimized their site for Firefox. Previously I encountered this on Gerogetown University's Management System platform, which according to IT should be fine with Firefox. I removed all the extensions, cleared the cache and cookies, tried troubleshooting mode, even reinstalled Firefox to no avail. I accept all cookies. Settings are default. The issue is specific to Firefox, Edge works fine. Please help, I don't want to migrate back to Edge.

I login into xfinity email everyday to check my email. Today I am getting the error message and do not know how to resolve. I have logged into the same site with Google and Edge browsers with no problem.

What do I do?

I was trying to login to my grocery store with a link they gave me to save on gas and got this message. I have had similar problems with other sites as well. Why? What do I have to do to stop receiving this error message?

Firefox does NOT show Bookmark after opening subsequent browser window(s). Is this related to Windows 11? I have searched for a solution and literally tried ALL of the recommended "fixes" and NOTHING works. This situation is repeatable and extremely annoying.

My alternative is to abandon using Firefox for another browser !

It seems this is not a new problem. It just began today for me....

How to fix?

If not fixable, will be forced to go to another browser :-(

Edition Windows 10 Pro Version 22H2 Installed on ‎11/‎8/‎2020 OS build 19045.3324 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19041.1000.0

Firefox 116.0.02 (64 bit)

I allowed an update for Firefox today. Ever since, my computer is stopping, and not responding to mouse selections on firefox including the shortcut menu. While reading google new, the computer stopped responding. This has never happened before the update. I want to undo the update and revert to former firefox version.

When Firefox auto-updates it slows down my machine so much that I stop being able to move my cursor and it often crashes other apps that I have running.

I have a relatively new Windows machine running the latest OS, so I doubt that's the problem.

Since the updates never seem to be anything critical and if there are new features I don't know about them because they've been drowned out by the unwelcome advertising that Firefox hijacks my experience to shove in my face, the obvious solution seems to be to turn off auto-update and just do it manually, when it is convenient for me.

However if there is a critical security update, I don't want to miss it, so I'd rather keep auto-updates on.

Is there something I can do to keep Firefox from horking my computer once a month, or do I have to revoke the auto-update privilege?

Are there compatability issues with microsoft windows? I can't open sites that I have always used. It says there is no connection to the server. Odd since I can get to facebook and other sites using the same server

I reinstalled my Windows and then wanted to log in to my Firefox account but I forgot my password, when i recovered it all of my data we're gone, I didn't know that it would erase my data. Can I somehow get it back?

Over the last couple of weeks the Firefox Browser will not load the tab page (e.g. Washington Post, New York times) and says it cannot find the web site. I tried troubleshooting mode and then resorted to refresh which only made it worse. It got to the point where the browser wouldn't even open the mozilla.org page correctly.

I finally turned my internet security service off and the browser began to work better, but getting my tab page to open sometimes comes up with a "we cannot find the site" and a "try again" button which never works.

I tried using Safari to go to the same web sites with no problems.

My wife uses Firefox on her I pad and her tablet and says firefox browser is giving her problems.

I have Firefox 116.02 (the browser also seemed to have problems updating and I was getting Firefox failed to update messages.

Has Firefox done something to make the browser unstable on Apple OS systems?
