Firefox keeps asking to update. When I click yes, it updates but then a User Account Control window pops up, saying that the update was blocked for security reasons.

I'm on Mac desktop, Sequoia 15.3.2. I am trying to access a site. I get a message, "can't access site, check Firefox firewall settings." Please help me solve this in simple terms. Thank you.

I have a MacBook Pro running Sequoia 15.3.2. When I remove all data from Firefox (137.0 (aarch64)) in Manage Data under Privacy & Security there is one site datum that always returns. It is 64k of data, 0 cookies, that persists after every clean up. This has been going on for quite a while.

I've searched Finder for any reference to the company name and cannot find any reference.

It isn't a lot of data, but I'd prefer to not have something lingering around.

Does anyone have a suggestion for how to delete this once and for all?

I run Linux Debian 12 (bookworm), and there seems to be no way to disable Firefox from automatically starting up after system boot. I've searched through settings, read countless articles on the internet, looked at system auto-startup applications, but wasn't able to find anything that worked. I even looked in about:config, but couldn't find anything. Firefox isn't automatically started by my system and there is no parameter that disables it. I also didn't click through any choices about autostart when I first opened Firefox.

I'm getting alot of messages several times a day for a week now. Just about all of them are with the Firefox logo but I'm pretty sure it's not Firefox.

Things like phone is corrupt.  Delete certain files.  18 viruses found.  I have some screen shot of them. How can I make this stop?
 It's constant and annoying.

I have attempted to sign in to MyHealtheVet.gov 3 or 4 times over as many hours. Every instance has encountered the same message "Secure Connection Failed. This is the Verterans Administration website and find it hard to believe their website is not secure. I'm not a computer geek, far from it, hence utilizing this method of contact. I have been notified by email that I have a secure messaging message on the VA site that I am unable to access/ Thanks in advance,

I use the email server fastmail.fm inside the Firefox browser on a 2023 Macbook pro. In the main everyday pane (the list of emails) there is a right-hand scroll bar. Frequently that scroll bar is MUCH too long, so that I cannot scroll all the way to the bottom of the list of emails. Both Apple and fastmail.fm are pretty sure they are not responsible. When the scroll bar is too long, I know a work-around, but I would like the problem not to happen.

I suddenly got a bunch of notices on my computer saying that malicious software has been installed on my computer. They just kept coming and coming. So I turned off notifications in Firefox, and that seemed to fix the problem. But has my computer been taken over? Is it safe to use it? I hope you can help me. Thank you, Ree_B333@yahoo.com

I went to IT at school because the VPN wasn't working. The VPN we need to access all school resources uses the device's default browser to do whatever it does. The IT guy said my issue probably had something to do with the VPN detecting saved passwords for the school and seeing that as a security threat. The temporary solution was to switch my default browser, but I hate both chrome and edge.

What do I need to change about my firefox settings to avoid the conflict with the VPN? I don't want to clear all my passwords; is that necessary?

My account is personal. Why is there a notification saying that it is being managed by my institution? I have been retired for almost four years, and have been able to use Mozilla Firefox without any problems until this morning. I have been using Mozilla Firefox long before I started working with my last employer.

Hi. I did a clean install of Windows 11 yesterday. I reinstalled Firefox with the TreeStyletabs addon. I had saved the old sessionstore files so I thought it would be easy to get my tabs back.

Two things happens.

1) If I copy over a sessionstore.jsonlz4 to the profilefolder, it gets overwritten byt FireFox when I start the browser. 2) If I don't do that and instead click History and then Restore Previous Session Firefox will use the previousjsonlz4 and restore my tabs . But I have to do it everytime I start Firefox. It does 'remember' what I did.

How can I fix this?
