Problem Description

In a server-based environment, I need to implement automatic updates for Mozilla Firefox, while maintaining strict outbound network control.

The architectural requirement is as follows: • Only the update component should be allowed to access the Internet via a proxy. • The browser itself (user browsing sessions) must not inherit or use that proxy configuration. • The proxy configuration for the update mechanism should be logically separated from the browser’s network configuration.

The Issue

In contrast to the update mechanism used by Google Chrome (Google Update / Omaha), where: • The updater runs as a separate system service • It supports dedicated proxy configuration • It does not inherit browser-level proxy settings • It allows granular control of outbound traffic exclusively for update operations

In Mozilla Firefox: • The update mechanism is tightly integrated with the browser • There is no native, dedicated proxy configuration exclusively for the updater • Proxy configuration applies to the entire browser • It is difficult to implement an “update-only network access” model

Bei mir kommt immer diese Meldung: Forbidden

You don't have permission to access this resource. Apache/2.4.66 (Debian) Server at paper-media.com Port 443 ?????

Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to google.com because this website requires a secure connection.

What can you do about it?

google.com has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

In a thread discussion about the flag, "browser.tabs.unloadOnLowMemory" dated 23-Nov-2022 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33706117) it was mentioned that we've disabled tab unloading on Linux because low-memory detection just didn't work.

Has the issue been fixed? Does the low-memory detection work in Linux? Can it be enabled now?

Does it get triggered when SWAP is being used? Or when system free RAM falls say to about 25% of total physical RAM?

Hello... I'm running Firefox on MacOS Catalina 10.15.7 on a 2013 MacBook Pro model A1502. It's been working great, but I just updated to Firefox 147.0.4 and I'm seeing an issue that I can't seem to attribute to anything else but the update.

The issue is that when I login to websites... Amazon, Pirate Ship, Venmo, etc... the sites keep saying that I entered the incorrect password or login. I've been using the same login info for a number of months without issue. I even tried to reset and change the password, but they are not recognizing the new password. I've tried different emails... I often have multiple accounts, one for my business and one personal... but they all have the same issue.

Again, these are sites I have been going to regularly for a while, and the issue only recently started after the most recent update.

Thank you. Paras.

Since update yesterday, new tab is empty. Whatever I do, open new tab, open new window, go to `about:newtab` manually, it does not load anything. The view is totally blank. I can navigate to other pages fine as it should though. Only New Tab view is broken. Diagnostic mode does not work. I don't have plugins that would affect New Tab anyways.

I have at least one question on the support forum which has never been answered. So I went to Bugzilla, and discovered dozens of YouTube issues under the Open/Unconfirmed status.

I can reproduce my problems. I'm sure others can reproduce their problems. Nothing is done. NOT EVEN admitting there is a problem.

If I can't use YouTube on Firefox (I can't), then why am I using FF? It is one of the biggest sites on all of the internet. But FF apparently doesn't care if it doesn't work.

What. Is. Going. On?

(See the attached image... the big blank space is where the video should display)

I admit I have a minimal machine for FF --- Win 7 pro, 2G ram but up to now it has managed---I just can't have too many large tabs open at one time. What gives with this install prob???

All of a sudden Firefox has a popup window that asks me for my primary password whenever I try to access one of my bank accounts. I'm just used to signing in with my saved password on each bank's website. Is this something new? Is there some kind of master password that can sign in to all of my accounts? I'm concerned about security issues.

Hi, on my macbookpro. Searches take minutes to load, websites take minutes to load. Youtube takes minutes to loand, but once loaded and I start a video, it runs for a couple of minutes then video suddenly stops and I have to wait for couple of minutes for the video to continue again and it keeps repeating, all my other web browsers (Safari, Chrome, etc..) works perfectly. It also uses sFirefox is bascially unusable! I am running the latest version.

I also saw a NoScript XSS Warning:

NoScript detected a potential Cross-Site Scripting attack

from https://www.youtube.com to https://accounts.google.com.

Suspicious data:

Error: Timeout! DOS attack attempt?,(URL) https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?service=youtube&uilel=3&passive=true&continue=https://www.youtube.com/signin?action_handle_signin=true&app=desktop&hl=en&next=%2Fsignin_passive&feature=passive&hl=en

My bookmarks have disappeared from view, even though I have I recently got this note at the top of Firefox: "For quick access, place your bookmarks here on the bookmarks toolbar. Manage bookmarks..."

On clicking on the "Manage bookmarks" link, I'm taken to a page with several fields, including "Location". I can not get any of the selections to work.

I did not ask for this change. I just want to be able to view my bookmarks. Can anyone guide me? Thanks.

There is a stuttering when i browsing, i do a lot of switching tabs when browsing. The stutter occurs at about every 15 sec, the browser like stopped for half a second, doesn't much but annoying. I cant scrolling, it stopped showing next alphabet when im typing, but still registered what im typing. but when playing videos on youtube the videos is not affected. i do running adblock ublock origin, i tried to switch it off, but it doesnt much affect my laptop performance, and the stuttering still there. i have also have tried doing gfx.webrender.layer-compositor set to true on about:config
