Firefox Community Forum

For the last two days, I have not been able to use Firefox to sign and properly use two key platforms for work: Booking.com and Expedia. Both now demand two-factor/step authentication at sign-up which I can live with BUT every time I click a link once signed in that they deem is sensitive (like looking at the details of a particular reservation or accessing their help messaging tools), I am asked to go through the authentication again. For every task. This means, for example, to change a room for a guest I now need to receive three different SMS codes as the platforms somehow stop recognising that I've already logged in.

I haven't changed any settings on Expedia, Booking.com or Firefox so any ideas on how to solve this please?

Thanks in advance Kevin

Recently I opened a website that had redirected me to some random site, I closed the tab immediately but now I keep getting spam notifications saying I may have a virus or various things from the site. I've tried to silence the site, I've ran security tests on my computer and they say it's fine, I just don't know how to silence the website or wipe it from my computer.

I was wondering how I could disable these banner notifications whenever a download completes. I've tried setting `browser.download.alwaysOpenPanel` and `browser.download.manager.showAlertOnComplete` to false, as well as disabling plasma and GNOME. But they still seem to appear

I keep getting: Save Login for http://blabla.xyz?!!

if i say 'never' it just keeps asking.

now your saying. aah. thats cause it cannot differentiate a ipv4 and a hostname.

The gethostbyname() function returns a structure of type hostent for the given host name. Here name is either a hostname or an IPv4 address

i wonder then what this browser does. not remembering by name. here thus the word never is better replaced by -> ask me again next time.

Many web pages now 'flash' when opened in FF (128.0.3 64bit W10). ALL graphics images turn on then off in synchrony. Text does not seem to be affected. Disabling HW acceleration has no effect.

sample web page: https://www.cnbc.com/2024/08/01/eu-ai-act-goes-into-effect-heres-what-it-means-for-us-tech-firms.html This problem does NOT occur using Google Chrome. [One difference noted seems to be the TOP of the web page has an mp4 video advert. It displays in Chrome, but not in ffox]
