Firefox Community Forum

I just downloaded Firefox and designated it as my default browser. The purpose was to get away from using Google Chrome; however, when I go into Firefox, the only options are to search with google????? Please let me know if this can be corrected.

I am not part of an organization. Despite that, my browser is being controlled by an organization and I cannot control how my browser operates. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox several times to try to eliminate this issue and it keeps returning. There seems to be a certificate associated with this problem. "ImportEnterpriseRoots" How do I get rid of this problem permanently?

irefox detected an issue and did not continue to khulna.land.gov.bd. The website is either misconfigured or your computer clock is set to the wrong time.

It’s likely the website’s certificate is expired, which prevents Firefox from connecting securely.

What can you do about it?

khulna.land.gov.bd has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

I get the following notification: Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to nz.mail.yahoo.com. Peer’s certificate has an invalid signature.

Error code: SEC_ERROR_BAD_SIGNATURE

Can you help?

FF constantly develops problems logging into web pages; I will enter the correct u/n and password and click the login button, and it simply won't log in, it just refreshes the page and asks for my log in again. The same u/n and password work fine in other browsers. And nothing I've done has fixed it--uninstalling all my extensions, refreshing Firefox completely, clearing all cache data--nothing works.

FF also will develop problems with the lastpass plugin, where I also can't log into my vault via the plugin--the same thing happens. It will just refresh the log-in fields without logging in. I can only fix that one if I go to the Lastpass website and log in there--then suddenly the plugin works, until I log out of LP again.

Frankly, the problems with FF only seem to grow over time. I love the privacy focus and it being a Mozilla product. I hate how everything in it constantly breaks functionality.

Hi!

I have used Gmail in Firefox for years with no problem. But now I am unable to open links in Gmail. A new tab opens, but it is blank. The URL is something like this:

https://www.google.com/url?q=http://click.octopus.energy/ls/click?upn%3Du001.pYQNnKERtEO3CyjFjp7bcyJHkRiZk8jyAM0g8cpz-2BpZTi882ncoNIoa-2BKLNtGvWbaFP-2F8P5QsM7Ql2ldN92Bzy3GB3tjSZAKzp10cfSX-2BpE-3DnmYz_5GWg-2BjdjNEl1USUGui9-2FRYzFuMbSaiNVcTf7uvg76OjTjo4Yet0nG8-2BxkY-2Fk3UyvAMQQ3RpfRqg7hsXiKisQw7hAE97z8llNaQkFBkzt8X7yWqH79Rhw1Wsbzf0dfq4O711LIy-2BFpXJZOluvqjNnHDrwT8ZCOjUeI40H9tuGyY442jM5cuUwyZj-2BoOYQ4Oey8MI2cVcWmWyIN8D0q90v2KR3JYMQYUoJ57oYDE4htcJVlqopPIcATr7Nx7fs2twTfE0OITFGcVaWIh90LY3Tq821GjwdtHXmaVqdRC-2FwKg8h784Tlts4EkM9-2FKAma7JJUFCoNohq8Z04hnBhm7F4L9LRTTkH-2BTlnHZ-2B-2B2Xtt7V5jYAV6tcTrEskfALHwxCNe1d84Eg5TigYBAMEu7pSSBgk2-2BVaNdmdcgFNGbGJ2GeE-3D&source=gmail&ust=1723762828955000&usg=AOvVaw3O-GPRaPocJzyh_YbY_fav

Also, the Google App Launcher and my Google Account Icon are not working either. I wonder if this is an issue with my desktop, which is 5 years old now. That's not too old, but sometimes the cursor freezes for a few seconds, which is annoying.

I have cleared my cache and restarted the desktop, but that didn't help. Thanks for any advice you can give me.

Best, Naomi

I find myself unable to send the material on my google docs after declining to pay Vimeo their requested payment. Seems I cannot send anything successfully without this Vimeo in operation. Can you advise or fix the problem?

Hello, Firefox is my browser of choice for privacy and accessibility reasons. However, the speech recognition software I have been provided (Dragon professional 16) requires an extension to be installed that Firefox does not allow.

I was given the following information by Nuance, the company who manufacture the software: "The Dragon Professional web extension for Firefox is not anymore supported in Dragon 16 as Mozilla has blocked this web extension quoting a violation of their toughened security guidelines and requirements for such browser extensions on 10.06.2023 with the release of Firefox v105.

The reinstallation of the respective XPI file does not resolve the issue, especially because there is - and likely will be for the time being - no new adaptation of the web extension available.

However, our web extension should work fine if you decide to opt out of blocking extensions that have been listed as potentially dangerous by Mozilla. On your own risk you can prevent Firefox from carrying out the blocklist by changing the appropriate setting in the browser's configuration ("about:config") but Nuance does not recommend this. Further information is available from Mozilla."

If anyone can help with this, as I need the software for accessibility reasons and I don't want to be forced onto another browser because of it.

I can click on location (currently Kingfisher, OK) and then in the menu my location comes up (Mansfield, MO)but when I open a new tab Kingfisher is still there. I have done this many times, still reverts to Kingfisher

Walmart.com now uses a Press & Hold link to log in. I cannot use it in Firefox 129.0.1. I have to use Chrome. Thge link is supposed to change, when you click on it, but it doesn't change in Firefox. I was using a VPN, but even when I turn it off, it still doesn't work.

Just recently in my AOL mail inbox an autoplay video has appeared. It also appears in Chrome and FF, but, does not appear in either Edge or Safari. I use UBO in all browsers. I'm confused as to why this video only appears in FF and Chrome. I tried blocking it with UBO but that ends up blocking too much. I ended up adding the Display Autoplay extension which only stops the autoplay it does not block the video. I've attached screen shots showing the video in FF and that same area in Safari without the video. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Firefox now asks for primary password every time it starts even if it is not needed to access a site with a saved password. Removing and resetting primary password does not fix the problem.

How do I either stop videos from autoplaying or auto repeating? Either one would be a blessing but I've searched and cannot find an effective way to do it. Blocking in Firefox is not effective. Mostly it seems in facebook, but I believe it repeats all the time on all sites.

I have Firefox 129.0 64 bit on 2 laptops, Laptop2023 and Laptop2024. I would like Laptop2024 to match Laptop2023. If possible, would like to copy the Profile, or at least the Bookmarks. The web articles direct me to Help options which do not exist. I do not want to reset anything on the sending laptop.

I have instructions on how to copy bookmarks from years ago, but Firefox has changed so much that they no longer work. How to I copy with the current Firefox version? If possible, email bjedrick@verizon.net.

Everytime I turn on my PC and open up firefox it pops up with it's Privacy Notice (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/privacy/firefox/)

Things that I've already tried reading solutions around here:

changing "browser.rights.3.shown" in about:config to true (it was already set to true)

Checking the homepage setting in "Settings -> Home". Which was set to "Firefox Home (Default)". When changing it to custom and hitting the "Use Current Pages" button you can see the pipe with the privacy notice address. I then changed it to a completely different one. Restarted my PC and lo and behold, it added the "| https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/privacy/firefox/" at the end of it. So no use changing it there.

Reinstalling firefox. No luck there.

Reinstalling and deleting every "Mozilla" folder in appdata and anywhere it pop up.. no luck as well.

I'm sincerely considering changing browsers at this point, I love firefox, but this is a joke. It's chaning my freaking home and forcing me into a page with no option or simple checkbox to just don't open up pages I don't want?!

During Web Dev Refreshing my website causes an error with Javascript.

In specific when I first load the website my javascript disc access works fine (correction: It breaks most of the time), it grabs the specific json file I need and at the correct index. However, upon a refresh, the script runs, and breaks (if it was working before). This wonkiness is creating a big problem for the website I am working on as I would like it to work. (To note: the Javascript loads without any errors on Chrome and other browsers).

For System Administrative reasons, I want to disable automatic Firefox updates. Firefox can ask me if I want to install an update, but I get to choose whether or not to update.

I've asked this question before. Have not received an answer. I searched the forum and have not found a solution. When I shut down my computer every night and restart it in the morning, Firefox does NOT restore my session. "Restore previous session" is not available. One individual mentioned "virtual desktop". I don't know what that is, don't have one that I know, and don't really need one. SO, can someone please help me so that my session, open tabs, are restored upon Firefox startup? I would greatly appreciate it.
