Master Password system is so buggy, this has happened twice this month, tried restarting computer, blogs posts, everything. It is just a corrupt feature that once you activate shoves down the Master Password requirement down your throat even if you reset it. Please fix this already, if you guys can't make a stable feature then don't push it to public, don't follow Microsoft path like Windows.

About a year ago (possibly longer), I distinctly remember Mozilla forcing 2FA for various things including sending emails to addons+amo@mozilla-community.org. I am 99% sure I carefully turned that trash off after my add-on thread, otherwise I'd have my recovery key on hand. Now, after a long period of inactivity, I am permanently in 2FA hell with no recovery key. I created this new account so that I can ask what the procedure is to gain back access to my old account. That account exists for the sole purpose of maintaining my add-on, and now I can't touch my own add-on.
Also, attached is a screenshot of other nonsense that occurs when I try to sidestep 2FA. I receive all account emails no problem: verification code for this new account, multiple successful password resets on the old account, etc. This screenshot however shows that they are sending a "confirmation link" yet no email is even attempted. I don't know what to make of this mess.

This is just something that I want to learn about. Since Firefox's Enhanced Tracking Protection is based on lists from Disconnect as I've read, does that mean that when Disconnect updates, so to does ETP? Or does ETP slowly learn over time about new trackers and block those (like how Privacy Badger works?) I currently have ETP set to Strict, but I also have Disconnect, Privacy Badger, Privacy Possum, and DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials as addon supplements. If this has been answered already, sorry for the repeat question.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen! I try to exclude all DNS-Entries from the proxy which contain the word "mind", so for example mindTest or TestMind or TestMindTest. Therefore I treied several patterns like:
\*mind*
mind*
\*mind
(I used "\" that the autoformatting does not apply in this FAQ). Sadly non of those work for the url https://mindTest If I just exlclude the ips (e.g.:192.168.8.0/24) behind those names it does not work either. But if i exclude the whole word like mindTest it works. The entries are in the /etc/hosts-file of my Ubuntu Installation Can you provide me help? I am using version: 71 (64-bit) for Ubuntu

Hello,
Our team has noticed some inside to outside connections to the torproject.org network on a base install of Firefox 70. I cannot find any documentation on why this might be occurring other than the fact the the tor project and Mozilla have a fairly strong collaboration effort. Does anyone have information on what exactly is making these connections, I want to make sure it's all legitimate of course.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Which has been done but through FireFox I can visit site I desire unlike Edge... Is there something I'm doing wrong? Please don't allow my child to suffer with Edge.
To elaborate further on Edge if I go to XXXXX.com I will receive an notification if my son requests access to that site. However, I do not get this with Firefox.
There are no configuration settings I can find in firefox to force it to use Prefer:Safe or rely on Microsoft Family. I do realize their plug-ins and dns methods to this, I do not want to pursue this as of now.

I am developing a pkcs11 module for Firefox to authenticate using SSL and a smartcard, and I was wondering how to change the "password required" dialog box for collecting a pin to notifying an user to use the biometric reader, rather than entering a pin on the keyboard. I can handle the operations of collecting the print through the device and authenticating using PKCS11 but this will need to start at the pin dialog level.

Hi since upgrade to 70.0.1 (linux) I am having difficulty connecting to our corporate captive portal. Its detecting the portal and prompting me to accpet the risks and continue. But clicking the button to continue does nothing. Just sits on same page. I saw a post about the new captive portal features and to go into about:config and look for network.captive-portal-service.enabled and setting it to false, but seems a bit extreme to expect users to do this. As a work around I open up chromium and log in that way.

How to reduce multiple prompts for master password when accessing saved logins (Lockwise)?

When viewing saved logins, earlier versions of Firefox would prompt once for the master password before showing the saved login passwords. This assumes the master password had been entered correctly when prompted sometime after starting the browser.
With the Quantum/Lockwise changes, there are multiple, repeating prompts for the master password during the process of accessing the saved login data. Is this a bug, or is there a way to reduce the repeated requests? Because the master password is so important, mine is long and complex. Having to type it in multiple times in the space of a minute or two seems unnecessary and annoying.
When accessing Saved Logins, it asks for the Master Password. That's OK and consistent with prior Firefox behavior. But then when I find a login and want to look at it it asks the Master Password again. If I then want to copy it, it asks again. If I look at several different logins, each login, and each action on each login, requires entering the master password over and over. That is a bit much, IHMO.
Once the user has reached the Saved Logins (Lockwise), they should be considered authenticated for the duration working with Lockwise. Further password prompts should not be needed. If Lockwise is closed, then it would be appropriate to re-authenticate. The page could time-out and auto-close if left unattended for an extended period of time.
Are there any settings to reduce the usability challenges of the current behavior?

SSL cert is on non-www version of my website. I set up .htaccess file to redirect to non-www URL. Firefox first goes to https://www. which isn't secure and before it can redirect to the non-www version that is secure it show a security warning. Example... you type www.anysite.com. first it resolves to https://www.anysite.com which doesn't have a SSL. The logic should then forward it to https://anysite.com which does have a SSL. Chrome and Opera resolve correctly. Firefox isn't waiting to the final URL and is prematurely showing an SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN error.
