When I click the search bar a few shortcuts show up. Great. There are currently 4 or 5 and are sites I regularly go so it's nice. Youtube, Twitch, a couple sites I use for forums, and then there's THE PORN. Right... So I'm trying to remove that specific search bar suggestion. The others can stay, but I don't want THE PORN SITE show up by simply clicking the search bar. I've tried looking for answers but nothing talking about this exactly, only other similar topics. I know I can go into the Search menu in Settings and uncheck the Shortcuts option, but that removes them all. I'd like to continue to use it for the other sites. There's never been a way that I can see to CHOOSE which sites end up there, that would be the easiest.

I've add a picture to show what I mean. At the bottom is a porn site I enjoy Fullporner.com, but I'd like that to NOT show up right with a simple click. THANKS

Withing the past 2-3 months FireFox is getting sluggish...and it's getting worse. I don't make changes to many of the internal settings just those in the settings page.

some web pages will take for every. I did a race...FF vs edge...edge won big time. I don't like edge but on some sites I'm being forced to use it.

any suggestions.

I'm very satisfied with the Containers. It separates my personal life from my office life.

But when the browser launches, the default page is container-less. I have to open another tab with a specific container to start browsing.

It would be best if the browser lets a user set a default Container per browser: - I'd like to set 'Work' Container as a default for my office PC - I'd like to set 'Privare' Container as a default for my personal PC

Thank you as always.

Firefox autofill always fills my phone number as +!(xxx)xxx-xxxx, despite most forms not accepting the country code. I have tried to remove it in the saved autofill address, but it keeps putting it back in. This makes the autofill not work. Why can I not disable this!?!?!?!

I did go into Performance Options - Visual Effects and unchecked "enable peek," but it didn't work.

How do I stop these windows from appearing?

Until today it worked fine. But now whenever I try to login to Xfinity I get You don't have permission to access "http://login.xfinity.com/login" on this server. It works fine on Chrome and Edge. I have disabled my add-ons. I have cleared cache, cookies, etc. I have rebooted. I have turned off firewall. I have checked my DNS. I have changed the DNS protection to OFF in Firefox. I have checked my proxy setting (I have no proxy). I have reinstalled Firefox. Etc. Etc. Nothing works. The fact that it works on Chrome and Edge, that it has worked everyday until today gets me confused. I also tried using my mobile phone as a hot spot to make sure it wasn't related to my Internet connection or IP address. Anyone have any ideas?

Firefox (129.0.2) displays "401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials" (see attached image)

I have tried various combinations of setting and not setting the following in Firefox:

  • network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris
  • network.negotiate-auth.delegation-uris
  • network.auth.use-sspi

For the URI settings I have tried both .domainname.domainextension and https://servicename.domainname.domainextension

In Windows 10 Control Panel -> Internet Options, the site is in "Trusted sites" using a domain wildcard, and also "Local intranet" and both "Automatic logon" and "Enable Integrated Windows Authentication" are enabled. I suspect those setting aren't relevant since other browsers are authenticating without error or prompt, but calling this out to show that I've covered that base.

The web service is served by IIS 10.0 on Windows Server 2022 and the authentication provider list only includes Negotiate, but I don't believe this issue has anything to do with IIS or its configuration as, again, other browsers are authenticating without error or prompt.

Anything else to check?

Thank you for any guidance you can offer.

Long ago I developed muscle memory to type in the main part of a website domain and complete it with Ctrl-Enter in the address bar.

That supposedly adds the www. prefix at the beginning and .com at the end.

Works great except that it seems to append "http:// to the beginning. That often results in a warning that I'm trying to go to an insecure domain.

How can I modify this behavior to append "httpS://" to the beginning to avoid all of these warnings?

I have been running into issues if Firefox affecting other programs. One example - closing a game from the big fish game manager. Normal termination of the game hangs up. Closing firefox, usually via the windows task manager, frees up the game manager and the game properly terminates. However, before having task manager close firefox, I see a number anywhere from 6 to 12 or more - firefox(10) for example - trying to re-launch firefox gets an endless round of messages about firefox not responding and a request to close firefox. So far I have only found one effective workaround to this issue. Booting into safe mode and clearing temp and prefetch. This usually holds but I have been seeing this every day for the last 4 days. What is going on and how do I fix it?
