I-Firefox Community Forum

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?

As we have observed on domain - "prod.detectportal.prod.cloudops.mozgcp.net" generating 1.5 crores of request on port 53(DNS) and action is redirect here i wanted to know the services why these traffic generating within one minutes, what will the reason? what will be the counter measure?

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

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?

Unfortunately I had to visit the site of Telus.com and use tech support. Now, there is always a Telus cookie in my Firefox settings. If I clear it, and block in PERMISSIONS, it still reappears as soon as I visit any web page. I always use private browsing. Right now I'm using Vivaldi until I get the thing resolved. Is there any way to kill the thing? Thanks for any assistance.

Hello, I receive a notification from a site that closes after 5 seconds, no matter what I do, I can't increase its open time, I changed dom.notofication.userintraction.enabled to true and increased the time in ease of access, still the problem isnot solved What should I do? i am using windows 7

I wanted to view my full history but that option doesn't show. Using V130.0 464bit Under Privacy and Security I'm showing "Remember History" and the only other thing listed is to "Clear History". No option to view history. Any ideas?

This started a few weeks ago. I thought it might have been because I synced the passwords with other devices. I reverted it back.

When in about:logins, I click on the log in button but nothing happens.

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.

I am trying to use FanDuel Sportsbook. I have always used this successfully with Firefox. I just set up a new computer and installed Firefox and can no longer use FanDuel. I can still do it on Chrome just fine, and I can use other betting sites on Firefox with ease. The issue, I assume, has to be with the security settings on the current version of Firefox that I just installed. I have reviewed the settings and nothing I do seems to have an impact.

Please let me know what might be preventing FanDuel from accessing my location.

Thanks.

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!

I found a potential flaw that can allow someone to gather all passwords saved by a user. It's pretty simple to explain, but also to exploit, so I don't want to do it publicly. Is there some specific team member that I should contact directly?

Hello,

I have all the the telemetry collection options disabled in "about:preferences#privacy". However, I've observed that my browser is still connecting to "incoming.telemetry.mozilla.org".

Any idea what this is about? Is there another setting somewhere I need to disable, to prevent it? Or is data being sent despite my explicit request?

Thank you!
