I've written this back in March of 2024 about Being Managed By Your Organization but after reading all the ones that state "Resolved" I still don't get it! I'm using Win 10 Pro 64 Bit Enterprise and everyday or any time I reboot I have to go into the registry to find Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies and delete Mozilla which the key shows ImportEnterpriseRoots. Now I'm running Avast Premium Security and have dealt with it from what I read about anti virus programs. When it comes to going into C:\Programs\Mozilla\ it doesn't show a folder called Distribution (not sure if that is the correct name but close enough to delete some jason file. I need some plain simply answer to resolve this daily problem.If you need more information please ask since I'm at my whits end dealing with this idiotic injection where even MircoShaft thinks I'm being managed *Some settings are managed by your organization? What organization since I don't have one. Please help a senior at 74 get this resolved.

Thank you and hopefully I'll get the answers I've been looking for. Jan Klassan

I could not sign into my account on Bluemountain.com but I could on Microsoft Edge. You should look into this. I have used this account many times over the years on Firefox, but starting this week the "sign in" box would not go to my account. I am writing to be helpful, since it would be sad to have to go over to Edge.

Google is my default search engine in the address bar on firefox. When I search in the address bar, it just resets to the page that I am currently on and doesn't load the search. It does the same if I try typing 'google.com' or 'google.ca' but gmail.com seems to work fine.

If I type in a full website address for other sites (reddit, wikipedia, duckduckgo, etc) it works fine.

I deleted firefox all together and downloaded it fresh and reset to default settings. Right now I only have one extension and it's ublock origins. I've disabled ublock origins to see if that would help, and I'm still having problems.

The problem is inconsistent where sometimes if I type google.com it will take me there and other times even that won't work. Sometimes if I try changing the default search engine in settings and then switching it back to google, it will fix it for a few searches, but then I go back to having issues.

It just sort of keeps circling back to the same problem even if I can get it to work briefly. Re-opening firefox in safe mode clears the problem while it's in safe mode, but even with all extensions disabled, the problem keeps coming back when I'm not in safe mode.

Any ideas or fixes?

Hi Whichever selection I make on pdf files in your Settings your system always saves the file unnecessarily even if I am just 'viewing in Firefox' so I end up with loads of files usually on my Desktop which I don't want and I have to go through them all later and delete them

Surely there should be a 'Just view only' setting for pdf files. If I want to save them after I've read the contents then fine I can manually do this but your default setting when you view pdf files in Firefox of saving every single file automatically is insane. Much of the time when you're doing research, you just want to view the pdf file and when you close it you want it to be gone. I appreciate I can save them to another destination apart from my Desktop but wherever I save them I'm going to end up with hundreds of useless pdf files that I only needed temporarily when I was viewing the contents-I don't need them saved automatically.

Can you please address this by giving a 'Just view only' setting? Thank you Michael

(I'm not sure where one can put feature requests, if this is the wrong place, tell me where else to put it.)

So, here is the thing. There is the Downloads History, displaying all downloads done in the past. This list has several features so far. Among them are:

• delete a file
• remove from history
• clear history

Hitting one of these by accident is very easy. This is a massive oversight. Things that can happen:

• You want to remove several files from the history but accidentally hit deleting them.
• You want to remove several files from the history but accidentally hit Clear History, which can especially result removing failed downloads from the past that you might want to retry.
• You hit Clear History, expecting it to spare failed downloads intuitively. As it is, I will *never* use it, since I obviously want to retry failed downloads.

Therefore, I propose several feature requests:

1. For history deletion/restoration, I propose an undo option. Certainly, the history does not take up much space. My specific recommendation is that history up to one week is logged. It can be deleted completely where the cache is also emptied, and old entries in the backup are removed automatically when the corresponding file is updated (something gets added or removed from history).
2. For file deletion/restoration, I simply propose that the files are moved to the trash of the system, instead of being directly deleted. I am not sure why this is not already the case. Should be quite easy to implement as well.
3. For Clear History, additionally to point 1, I propose that the user is prompted with "are you sure? Yes/No". Also, Clear History ignores failed downloads. Like that, it actually becomes useful. And again, this should be trivial to implement. I'd also be quite fine if this is made an option one can choose in the settings.

Note that I have seen replies to people with these or related problems that went like "you can go to the profile folder and search for this and that SQL file and..." - no. The points I wrote should be something that a casual user would want to have available, and going into technical folders is anything but user friendly. It should be doable with easy straightforward widgets within the browser.

Hello! When entering some (in tis case financial: https://www.nordnet.se/se) sites the time shown are exactly 2hours behind the system time. If system time is 11:15 (correct time zone in Sweden) the time shown on the site is 09:15. This is probably something that has to do with an update of Firefox. I have automatic update to Firefox but the problem has been there for some months although I have not been able to recognice it until the recent week. I have tried a "clean" new install of Firefox to a new directory with no import of bookmarks or anything but the problem is exactly the same. For your information I have tried a clean install of Duckduckgo browser which do not suffer this problem. But I want to keep with Firefox which I have used since at least 15years. I guess there is a "timestamp" or samething that have gone wrong, but should be easy to correct if you just know where to look. Best regards /Gunnar

I have been trying to use this service for some time. Everytime I try to sigh in for some reason I am blocked. It just sits there. This service workes fine on all other drowsers, but not Firefox. PLEASE, PLEASE GIVE ME A FIX .

I'm trying to remove Firefox from a laptop. When I start the uninstall process it reaches the progress bar that says Unisntalling Firefox... and hangs there. 30 minutes and no discernable change.

All the buttons on the dialog are disabled and the only way to get out of it is to restart the computer.

Whenever I try to login my fresh browser, Firefox says "Account Disconnected" as soon as I sign in and sync begins. I have tried refreshing Firefox, clearing cache etc, deleting Mozilla folders from local and roaming, but issue is still the same. Email hidden for privacy reasons

downloading only allows .part files to appear, from Google Photos. In spite of the error message, the source file is intact and can be viewed from my Android device ( source )

bold textdownloading only produces " .part " files in my downloads directory. I had previously attempted a large file download but error message said it was not completed. Now cannot download anything

When I'm watching a show, sometimes I get uncomfortable during certain parts and will click the "skip" button a couple times until the scene is over. However, sometimes If I do this too many times the audio will completely stop (but the video continues playing). I will need to refresh the page for it to fix.

I've tried running firefox in troubleshooting mode but the issue seemed to still be there. Doesnt happen on any other browsers either.

I've been trying to watch live sports events on SECN+ through my Hulu subscription, but I'm encountering an error message stating, "The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported." I discovered that Firefox is blocking the stream, while it works perfectly on Chrome. With the college football season and other sports events approaching, I’m concerned that if this issue persists, I may have to stop using Firefox, which I've relied on for over two decades. Please help me fix this issue at your earliest convenience. Thanks.
