The makers of the Avada theme for WordPress adviced to set dom.events.testing.asyncClipboard to true for the copy paste function between sites. A function they have added recently.

However, here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1411533 I saw this comment:

"Recommendations to flip dom.events.testing.asyncClipboard to true are a fundamentally bad idea. This pref was meant for automated testing, and bypasses all security/permission checks on clipboard access.

If you toggle this pref, any site has full access to your clipboard all the time without asking you or you even noticing so we suggest that you do not touch that pref.

Had the same problem with firefox and outlook web.

My solution was:

  open "about:config" in firefox (type it in the webadress line and hit enter)
  accept the risk in the pop up
  type "clipboard" in the search line
  change the following settings (as shown in the image attachment) from false to true (klick on false)
  restart firefox (close it & open it again)"

The image attachment mentioned, showed that dom.events.testing.asyncClipboard WAS set to true. So now I am confused :-D.

Is it dangerous to set it true and why?

I have a Logitech Streamcam that I have been having some problems with. I noticed that Firefox stopped working with my Webcam some time ago and I can't seem to figure out why.

My webcam works fine on Chrome and using the camera app on my desktop. I hooked the webcam up to my Macbook and was able to connect to it just fine, even using Firefox.

I tested my webcam using this website: https://webcamtests.com/check When I go there I get this error message: "Could not find a web camera, however there are other media devices (like speakers or microphones). Most likely, this means that your webcam is not working properly or your browser cannot access it."

When I try to have it forcibly start the camera it gives me this error message: "NotFoundError: The object can not be found here.; DOMException".

I tried clearing the cache, running Firefox in safe mode, clearing all privacy and security settings, and reinstalling Firefox but none of it help, I also tried clearing the cache and got the same result.

Windows security settings show Firefox last accessed my webcam on 2021-11-08 and there are no access requests from Firefox since then.

Any idea of whats going on or what troubleshooting I can do from here?

I'm totally fed up with this! I got this particular one trying to go to Amazon via a link from search but it's happening constantly with links from search and from other sites that I'm on. I am on Amazon a lot. I don't know what this behavior is, where it's coming from, why it's happening, or how to stop it. I'm at the point of just uninstalling Firefox because of it. I've tried the common fixes such as clearing cache and cookies as well as all saved data and it still persists. Firefox has been my default browser for a very long time but if this can't be stopped permanently, I'm done with it!

I thought at first that the Master Password was for that, it seems however its purpose is only to protect access to the saved sites passwords. I set it up and it did in fact ask me for a password at startup but with just 2 tries to close the window, the prompt went away and did not prevent me to use Firefox further. It eventually appeared again but the result was the same. How can i prevent unathorized people using Firefox right at startup?

Hello All ,

Hope someone can help me on this. I am trying to access directly a device from Browser with an IP address. https://192.168.1.1 But i get the error : "Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead"

Usually get the option of adnaced to proceed further. The Version is 130.0 (64-bit) and even set the about:config, security.dialog_enable_delay to minimum.

I have added the self signned certificate of the deivice to Firefox , but that is not helping, since i am accessing it with IP address and not FQDN. I cannot add it as exception in the exception list , since that setting also ask for DNS name.

Ip address access exception is no more available in this version , how can i proceed further and not downagrade to lower verion to support access via IP .

I recently added an ADDON that function to, OPEN A LINK IN A NEW TAB.

I saw something about that the Addon wasn't monitored for security.

This lead me to ask this question:

DO ADDONS SEND INFORMATION TO OTHER ENTITIES BESIDES FIREFOX, FOR EXAMPLE DO THEY SEND INFO TO THE DEVELOPERS OF ADDONS?

Thanks for your help in advance, Kavin King

Hello, can someone please tell me how I can access https://localhost:6000/ in Firefox as I need to access this address for the OctoPrint software so I can configure it.

All the articles I have read about going into the about:config and adding the port number do not work for me.

So can someone please help me with this and point me in the direction of a working article I can use?

I am using version 130.0 (64bit) of Firefox.

Any help much appreciated and thanks.

What should be my response to these messages? Dismiss closes the particular message, but it is immediately replaced with another similar one. I have no idea what the xxxx.mergenetworkprotocol is or how to use it. It is real or a phishing scam? Is it safe to simply tell Firefox to hide it?

Hi,

I am working on a web crawler that scrapes set of websites analyzing certain privacy strings that are present before and after Global Privacy Signals are sent. We make use of Selenium Web Driver to perform the crawl. Part of the data we collect is the urlClassification of third party sites that are tracking users on the site, via Firefox's Enhanced Tracking Protection. However when performing the crawl, Enhanced Tracking Protection data is no longer available while Selenium has automatic control over Firefox, even though there is indeed third party sites (fingerprinters, cross-site tracking cookies) active on these sites when they are manually visited not using our crawler. Does anyone have an idea why our software may be interfering with Firefox's Enhanced Tracking Protection? Thanks!
