I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

I use Google Home page. Recently, some stupid "Try Searching For" drop down box opens every time I go to Search bar!! I've clicked off everything I can find in indexes. How do I get rid of this nuisance 'help'.

We recently upgraded Firefox on an older Ubuntu 16.04. We are now having trouble with some https sites.

Error code: SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER https://www.myeducation.gov.bc.ca/aspen/logon.do

We don't think it is a firewall or antivirus/antispyware issue because the same version of Firefox will work on other versions of Linux/windows in the school.

We did notice a difference in the Certificate Manager. The Firefox that is NOT working is missing certificates that are labelled "Software Security Device". The site that fails is looking for "Entrust Certification Authority -L1K" which should be listed as a "Software Security Device" in Firefox.

We have tried the following:

• Updated ca-certificates package which stores system certificates in /etc/ssl/certs/.
• move $HOME/.mozilla folder out of the way to start with a fresh profile.
• tested same Firefox on other versions of Linux and it works fine.
• made sure antivirus/firewalls are not interfering.

Hello you wonderful people: My OS is Linux Mint 19.2 Cinnamon 64-bit. When I click the "Edit" tab, I select "Preferences" from the drop-down. I then click "Privacy & Security", and under "Cookies and Site Data", I click, "Clear Data". When I click, "Clear Now" for "Cached Web Content" (I have that check marked), it doesn't zero out, but displays "751 KB". It used to clear it completely. My question is, what do I need to do so that all data, KB or MB, is cleared? This is a mystery, and can only figure when I downloaded the current version, it somehow carried over previously existing data. I look forward to your response, and sincerely thank you, in advance. Side note: I am a long time volunteer at Free Geek in Portland, Oregon. I love Linux!

I lost my Firefox password. I was changing it by generating one and copying it to Lastpass, but Lastpass failed to create an entry for Firefox. The link to reset a lost password asks for a recovery key, which I also don't have. I do have a block of Firefox recovery codes, but they are not accepted for a change of password. Is there any way for me to change my password?

Thanks, Byron

Hi, I posted this question with a different heading. I have modified the question.

For many years I have been able to read my horoscope at WWW.Tarot.com. I usually get a daily email. Email message loads fine but when I click on the read horoscope link it goes to ethanol page Trending Today. It works fine with Internet explorer and on my phone. I have tried disabling the popup blocker and has not help. It only happens in Firefox. I have cleared the cookies and cache. I don't know what else to try. I know something is blocking the page but I don't know what. When I click on the link to read the Horoscope it goes into the TRENDING TODAY page. How can I fix this? Below are the screenshots of what is supposed to look and what I am getting. Please help.

After I sign out of Firefox I can still access lockwise login history by clicking on Lockwise down in the Products section. It comes up and suggests I open in Firefox/logins from the drop down menu and when I click on the logins section timewise shows all my logins and all corresponding Passwords. Seems to me that likewise should be password protected.

I am not able to post pictures in Facebook comments using Firefox on my laptop. I am posting this here rather than in FB because I *am* able to post using Internet Explorer. When I click on the camera icon within the comment area nothing happens. In IE, doing the same opens up the ususal window to select the file I want to upload. Also, on my LG Android phone I can add photos to comments. Is there some setting in Firefox that could be the cause?

Surfing https://www.asimmetrie.it/ on Firefox 77.0.1 (64-bit) Linux produce SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER while no error occurs on Windows. Standing on https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=www.asimmetrie.it Linux is correct because the server's certificate chain is incomplete

Yesterday all of my personal web-pages started showing all links as black, instead of the format of the pages: blue or red. Under Preferences > History, I have Firefox set to remember History. I have enhanced tracking set to off for my personal pages. My personal pages are NOT secure (https.)

Desktop Windows PC Firefox 77.0.1 64-bit

Thanks.

I have been watching videos on one website for 7 years using adobe flash. I have watched videos lately using firefox because of the problems I have had with google speed wise. This last week the videos will not play on firefox. I have tried as many things as I am aware of on the contributors posts website. I also searched the web for answers. I found nothing that would solve the problem.

               PLEASE HELP!!!

For quite some time now I have to notice that Firefox keeps forgetting the addresses of websites that I have allowed to open pop-ups. I used such a pop-up site just yesterday, the computer has in hibernation over night - and now Firefox blocked opening such a pop-up again, the list of allowed sites is empty.

Hello, Kind of like the title says, every time I close out Firefox, the "Logins and Passwords" option "Ask to save logins and passwords for websites" unchecks itself, and does not autofill or remember passwords on the next browsing session unless you go back and check the box each time. I included the troubleshooting text below. Thanks in advance for your help! Matt

Hi, are the files key4.dab logins.json

generated on a 64bit Firefox compatible with a 32 bit version?

The reason is that in the 32 bit one all my "user & PW" data .... abruptly vanished. So I wished to use the existing data to restore the configuration.

Both PC are running LINUX: - 64bit has Linux Mint - 32 bit has Kubuntu

Thanks in advance for your time! Alberto

"Clear Data" stored cookies, site data, and cache NOT clearing. 160KB can only be cleared by "Force Quit" of Firefox.

"Clear Data", "Forget the Last 24hrs", and closing Firefox do not remove 160KB. This is a new problem.

Hello team, I wanted to setup my firefox account for multi factor authentication via sms on my mobile number. I don't want app authenticator, as it's not working, and not that efficient. how can I do that?

Thanks, Gaurav

Today, I somewhat accidentally accessed a part of FireFox that I suspect is off limits to non-members.

STEPS

1. I pressed and held cmd-option keys then hit the i key.
2. Tapped the Network tab
3. Refreshed the page
4. These messages came up. I am not sure, but I suspect these links are off limits to non-members (to see the image I made , you have to click the link).

5. clicked the link indicated which exposed the following restricted information. I suspect it is some form of computer code.

6. When this material appeared, I immediately unplugged my computer, to avoid detection by the authorities.

I repeated the steps, but took a few seconds to capture screen images so I could post them here.

I understand security practices might dictate that you share no knowledge on this topic, but if you can safely and legally explain in terms my child would understand, what I found hiding on my computer, I would be much obliged.
