Firefox Support Forum

When trying to load a PFX certificate into the latest version of Firefox on a new Windows 11 computer, the certificate will load just fine but Firefox will not offer prompts for things such as mark the key as exportable or enable strong private key protection. Tried the certificates in chrome and they work just fine.

This causes strong private key protection to be enabled by default and Firefox prompts for the security certificate as it loads each stage of the login screen. You have to select the certificate at least six times before you can get to a screen where you can enter your password for the site, and then you constantly have to select the certificate for every function of the web site thereafter.

Any work around for this?

I've added https://x.com as an exception site but it is still blocked.

This is outright censorship which is something fascists do.

Tell me how to fix your browser so I may access x.com again or I stop using Firefox forever.

Problem: Persistent 150 KB of Cached Web Content For several years, I have gone to “Settings” / “Privacy & Security” / “Cookies and Site Data,” clicked the Clear Data…” button, checked both “Cookies and Site Data,” and “Cached Web Content,” and clicked “Clear”, and consistently gotten BOTH “Cookies and Site Data,” and “Cached Web Content” down to “0” zero. Recently, I have been unable to “Cached Web Content” to go below “150 KB of disk space.”

         I have NOTHING listed in “Manage Cookies and Site Data” or “Exceptions -- Cookies and Site Data.”
         I have tried reinstalling, but the problem has persisted.
         On the assumption that this is malware problem, I have continued to use Mozzella VPN, but stopped using the program for browsing, etc.  Should I stop using it altogether until the problem is fixed?
         Can you tell me how to get rid of the last “150 KB” of “Cached Web Content”?

Switching to Protected Browser... COULDN'T LOAD XPCOM.!! it stopped a month ago and yet to get an answer , from you guys. It seems no one want to answer or try to find the error issue. Uninstall firefox and reinstall!!! No by doing that you will lose all of your data thats attached to firefox anywhere from you bookmark to user names and so on, Thas not a good solution AT ALL!!

Hi!

I've been having consistent trouble getting firefox to save my passwords. I'm signed in, have all the password-managing options enabled, and I import my passwords from chrome (which I've wanted to stop using) but my saved passwords tab is always empty. The next time I use firefox and I'm logged out, it's all wiped clean. When I try to synchronize my settings and passwords after importing again, nothing happens when I click Synchronize.

I've restarted the browser many times, opened it in Troubleshoot Mode (here I was able to import, save my passwords and synchronize just fine), went on to disable all my extensions one by one, themes, and hardware acceleration, but when I opened the browser normally, the problem persisted. I don't know what to do at this point!

I'd appreciate some help, thank you.

I need to know if this is a safe website for my identity as I've been a victimizing that and I don't need nobody knowing what I'm typing and what I'm googling so I say looking up on the Internet my phone is messed up and I'm taking it back to Cricket today because there was apps installed on my phone that I did not install the security issue and I need to know if this is legit and safe website to use to keep hackers out of my stuff.

I'm trying to troubleshoot a connection error and cannot find anything about 'SSL_ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_SECURITY_ALERT'? What is this trying to tell me exactly? Is there documentation or a debugging switch to elaborate this error, or is it really necessary to dig into the source code to find out about this? Even mozilla search and google comes up empty.

I'm running 115.12.0esr on Linux. I have another Linux system running 115.7.0esr that has no problem connecting to the same URL.

Thanks!

Hey all, Before I go to far, here... Firefox version 127.0.2 (64-bit) Windows 10 Version 10.0.19045 Build 19045 Extensions - Malwarebytes browser guard.

What I've done: Cleared cache, history, etc. etc. ran multiple system scans restart app restart windows

So how do I keep Firefox from opening pop-up for about:config? That's right, There are pop ups that firefox allow to open new tabs, and its the about:config page.

Also, every time I start typing out google in the address bar auto suggest fills in googleleadservices or something like that. I already went through all the same steps above and more. I originally thought it was just opening one of the last pages I went to, but if I've "cleared" everything as per the way firefox has it set up, why would it have any history of what the last page was?

Sometime in the last few months, Firefox (Developer Edition) stopped allowing redirects and links to file://-protocol URLs. Is there a way to re-enable this for my personal browser, e.g. via about:config or the like?

Thanks!

I added a secondary email to my account last September--or so I thought. My profile currently shows only the email I log in with. When I try to add a secondary email, I am told that another user has registered this email (same response for two different emails). Note that I regularly receive email from Mozilla at the secondary email address. Why isn't this showing up in my profile?

I add 2FA whenever possible. I was adding a new website yesterday and was unable to: FireFox (v. 127.0.2 on 64-bit Windows 10) was showing "Log in with Facebook" that was blocking one of the squares on the QR code! So I had to enter the many characters that were presented in order to add the 2FA code to Authy!

I looked in the settings and couldn't find anyway to turn that off.

How can this be fixed?

Thanks,

John

The password I've been using to access my stored payment methods is suddenly not working. I've tried using my Master (sorry, Primary) password and this doesn't work either

Three times in the last few months when I was forced to do a TeleDoc visit using my health care provider's 3rd party teleconferencing software I noticed that it changed my Windows 10 sound setting from the correct Optical (Digital Audio S/PDIF) to the incorrect "USB Audio Codex". Consequently, I couldn't hear anything until I changed the sound setting back to Optical. The 3rd time the user interface had changed significantly and for the better except that the sound setting had not only changed to USB Audio Codex, but it was stuck at that setting--so the Doc called me on the phone so I could to listen to what he had to say.

I don't think this is browser dependent. The 3rd time I was using Firefox, the previous 2 I may have been using Edge. I am still very surprised, think that it's a security issue (I'm using Bit Defender), and wonder how else Windows can be tampered with?

Please let me know what you think, and what my next step should be?

I have a local web server which is misconfigured. Its my server, its on my LAN, and no data traverses any devices not under my control. I need to be able to access it via HTTPS with an expired certificate in order to FIX THE EXPIRE CERTIFICATE. How do I do it? Firefox used to have a "accept the risk and continue". Whoever took this feature aware has created a very significant problem for me and I want the capability back.

Hello, In order to log into Netflix I have to uncheck the Cookies box and Private Browsing box in Privacy and Security under Settings (I usually run with these enabled when just browsing). When I do this it asks for a Restart. Upon Restart the Netflix Login page always appears on its own. I am curious as to how Firefox is getting steered to the Netflix Login page when it is not being specifically told to go there. I assume it is somehow tied to the unchecked boxes. It's not a big deal to me but I am curious about what is going on in the background and the dynamics involved. If someone has the time to explain what is happening I would appreciate it. Thanks you !

And thanks to Mozilla in general for keeping Firefox so excellent.
