Hello,

I received this message when trying to download a file a client sent me. I can download using other browsers but why should I?! ether I get a solution or I'll just change my browser instead of using multiple

Please advise thank you in advance Itai m lustgarten

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to email.wetransfer.com because this website requires a secure connection.

What can you do about it?

email.wetransfer.com 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.

Having a long list of bookmarks, I used to be able to scroll to the bottom, chose a bookmark there and after closing the page and opening bookmarks again, it has stayed focused around the last used one. Now, when I open bookmarks again, it has reverted back to the top and have to scroll all the way down again to the one I want. This happened since the latest update. I have not been able to find any solution in settings. Can anyone point me to a solution?

Best regards,

on GitHub the commands are all based on Java https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates#preferences

Is there a list of all available registry settings? Or where do these Java options come from, where can I read them out?

ever since the most recent update last night, these horrid blue boxes have appeared around every intractable element once clicked on (except on complex js based websites like twitter and youtube), no amount of farting around in about:config nor even using troubleshooting mode has gotten rid of them. caret browsing is off. windows' narrator is off. ive also tried disabling all of my plugins, which had no effect

it appears to be the exact same issue that this user was having. i tried all the solutions in that thread. no dice. i have also tried all the solutions in this reddit thread

ive attached a collage of some examples below.

ive tested these same sites in opera gx to compare, it does not exhibit this faulty behaviour.

i need this fixed as soon as possible as firefox remains my daily driver due to being the only browser that still has good plugin support and decent customization

i lost my bookmarks and saved passwords data saved in my account by resetting the password.

Please help me how to get my bookmarks and saved passwords data.

Hi, I have noticed that when using the latest release of Mozilla Firefox on Windows 10 and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, when I go to ABCnews.go.com and click into a story, there is an autostarting video. But instead of either waiting until I click on it or autostarting normally, it flashes wildly. I have disabled all extensions and the problem persists. Has anyone else encountered this? And more importantly, does anyone have a fix for this issue?

I haven't been able to use Java Script ever since I got Firefox. Last update I got it said type about:config and then I'll be careful, I promise! I put both them in and nothing at all. Please help!

Hi,

I am trying to setup firefox to my liking automatically To this end, I am using "firefox profile maker" and it works great but I'm having issues adding all the add-ons that I like.

Only the add-ons that are included in ffprofile make seem to install properly (but also, now I can't uninstall them ??)

Anyway here is my full process for installing firefox automatically and then configuring it automatically. Perhaps you can hep me figure it out.

First I install firefox automatically using the offline installer (my computers do not have access to internet by default, I must whitelist each computer, then individual software then individual websites first)

So, I obtain the offline installer from this URL https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/111.0/win64/en-CA/Firefox%20Setup%20111.0.exe

Next I have used the website https://ffprofile.com/ to create a pre-made profile

This yields two files, and their contents profile.zip

profile\prefs.js profile\extensions\CanvasBlocker@kkapsner.de.xpi profile\extensions\uBlock0@raymondhill.net.xpi enterprise_policy.zip defaults\pref\autoconfig.js distribution\policies.json firefox.cfg

Next, I have pre-downloaded added all the add-on files I would like to install to the add-on folder However, when I perform the procedure, only canvas blocker and uBlock0 get installed

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. If I take all the add-on files, dump them all into firefox, it opens 16 tabs On each tab I can now click add and click okay, if I do it right and quick enough, they all install, unless I miss one.

That's over 50 clicks and very annoying !

Here is the list of add-ons I'm trying to add

extensions\umibo-2.4.2.xpi extensions\amp2html-2.1.0.xpi extensions\close_tabs_right-1.2.4.xpi extensions\cookie_autodelete-3.8.2.xpi extensions\copy_tabs-1.12.35.xpi extensions\darkreader-4.9.62.xpi extensions\facebook_container-2.3.9.xpi extensions\google_container-1.5.4.xpi extensions\istilldontcareaboutcookies-1.1.1.xpi extensions\merge_window-1.0.2.xpi extensions\old_reddit_redirect-1.6.1.xpi extensions\order_tabs_by_domain-0.2.3.xpi extensions\privacy_badger17-2023.1.31.xpi extensions\spoof_geolocation-0.1.1.xpi extensions\tab_manager_plus_for_firefox-5.2.0.xpi extensions\traduzir_paginas_web-9.6.1.xpi

I have created a script that I run after installing firefox using this command

"Firefox Setup 111.0.exe" /S

Then I run the following script to automatically install my pre-made profile

Firefox-deploy-ffprofile.bat

@echo off set z7EXE=%PROGRAMFILES%\7-Zip\7z.exe set EnterpriseConfig=firefox-profile\enterprise_policy.zip set ProfileConfig=firefox-profile\profile.zip set FirefoxProfile= set FirefoxInstallFolder=%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox\ set FirefoxProfilesFolder=%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\

tasklist /nh /fi "imagename eq firefox.exe" | find /i "firefox.exe" > nul if %errorlevel% equ 0 (echo Firefox is still running & taskkill /f /im firefox.exe & timeout /t 5 )

end

echo firefox deployment finished

Remove or disable reading view for only AARP webpages in Firefox ...all other sites are fine..... it is a recent problem..... it keeps going to 40 % even tho my default is 120 %... as I have to click on the toggle on each new tab to be able to view pages.....again only on AARP webpages.

I used Firefox products very heavily for several years, but switched to chrome about a year ago for work compliance reasons. I tried to log back into my Firefox account using login information stored in my password manager, and I got prompted to make a new account. There seems to be no record of my old account, no saved bookmarks, passwords, or history with other products like Firefox Monitor. To my knowledge I never got a notice that my account was being terminated. Is it possible to recover my account?

Bookmarks, I click on a folder, up pops a submenu. As soon as I move the mouse to select an item in the submenu - poof - submenu gone. If I hold the mouse button down and drag to the submenu item (and subsub...menu.item) then let got - it works. I should be able to "click" on an bookmark, then "click" on a menu item, then "click" on ... without having to "hold" the mouse button. - I'm guessing "onmouseOver" and not "onmouseClick" somewhere.

Some pages are not displayed correctly and some are with defects. Some alements on some pages arealso blocked.

Examples in attachmnet

The adblocks are off

So, I have a couple of bookmarks folders with something like 200+ entries, with the folders themselves on my bookmarks toolbar. Previously, when I opened the folder from the toolbar, it would default to the last position observed, e.g. if I selected a bookmark from the middle, it'd open back up to the middle.

It's stopped doing that lately, and instead always opens to the top of the folder. I realize this sounds minor, but it's catastrophic for my use case. Anyone got any tips on how to make it revert to the previous behavior?

Why do I have to keep signing into my accounts, such as Google, Facebook and Youtube...plus others each week when I go back to the accounts. New, since November 2022, computer and for weeks this doesn't happen, but then each week I have to go through security to get into my account.

I've recently updated to version 110.0, and I immediately noticed an issue with my bookmarks where my scroll position in the bookmarks list isn't being saved after opening a tab or two. It keeps resetting back to the top of the list after a few seconds.

I don't know if this is a bug resulting from the latest update or what, but I know I didn't have this issue with bookmarks prior to updating to 110.0.

I have Firefox Focus and I have enjoyed it except for one blaring issue. Without closing it, it sometimes completely restarts and closes every tab. I lose SO much when it happens. Is there ANYTHING that I can do in this instance to retrieve my tabs?
