I work heavily in a site called Xactanalysis for work. This is a product by Xactware that is used for tracking, reporting and uploading estimates for insurance claims. They have released a reporting tool recently within Xactanalysis, and the issue is I cannot use with Firefox browser. This works with Chrome, however I would prefer to use Firefox.

I have entered the website address in the exceptions page, but still won't work. When asking Xactware for assistance they said manage the exceptions and it should work. This still doesn't seem to work, so I am curious if there is anything else I can do?

Since your last Firefox update I have no longer been able to access the Canon UK website. www.canon.co.uk returns the website menu but within a second it greys out and becomes unusable. The same happens when I try to access any other Canon UK address. I'm running Win 10 on my PC and Win 11 on my Laptop. Both display the same problem. If I try to access the same sites via MS Edge I have no problems nor do I have problems accessing other sites on Firefox. I like using Firefox but do not wish to have two browsers open at the same time. Maybe I should change to Edge.....? Please help - Laurie Wright

Unable to Connect to my Router (192.168.1.1)

I have a D-link 4G Router whose IP Address is 192.168.1.1 Its does not support https, only http.

I am unable to configure it using Firefox, I have to use Chrome. Firefox prevents me connecting to it because (a) It does not support https and, if I get round this issue (b) Firefox reports that the Router's security certificate is out of date

I can never get round (b), there are no options to override Security Certificate is out of date.

I can override the same issue if I use Chrome (but I would prefer to use Firefox)

It seems a bit over-authoritarian to me, to prevent me from logging into and configuring my own Router !!!! I believe Firefox should always provide a mechanism for the user to override these security issues.

The website https://www.thehindu.com/myaccount/ does not open up in Firefox (129.0.1). But it duly opens up in Edge. I cleared the cache in Firefox and tried number of times. But the page expected to open a login page, so I even added pop-up exception for the web site. But it still does not open in Firefox. Opening the site in Edge was a cakewalk without clearing cache or adding a pop-up exception.

Something out of the ordinary occurred the other day when my copy of Firefox no longer was able to connect to the internet. A bit of searching revealed that my Mac system no longer compatible with Firefox 115.4

The Mozilla website clearly showed that older Mac systems, such as 10.12 10.13 and 10.14 were no longer able to work with the latest Firefox update and to download Firefox 115 ESR version.

After starting it up the newer version just showed a brand new version without any of my often used bookmarks, extensions, history etc.

I believe it’s possible to return all those often used elements to my everyday browser experience but just how, befuddles me! Perhaps there is a website detailing this information?

I'm not currently able to sign into my UK account using this link: https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/account/ When I type in my email address and click continue I just get a circular loading symbol going round and round forever. I'm able to sign in using the US sign in link for some reason. I'm not able to sign into Firefox overall though, so none of my bookmarks etc. are synced. I have tried on two different laptops a week apart with the same results.

Hi all

I used to firefox browser to read e-books but in editting as highlight any word in book you can't select it again via Cursor to copy it when you saved file.

I want to change this because we want quickly to select any word and copy it but highlight prevent us to copy words if we saved before the highlights on file.

And I wish you had supported EPUB file type to open It on browser like PDFs type.

I hop to take this seriously

thanks

Firefox 127+ Downloaded Filenames Appended With Underscores In Some Circumstances

Problem: When exporting or downloading content from the GUI in the digital forensics tool Velociraptor, underscores are appended to the beginning and end of filenames. File is otherwise downloaded correctly, but removal of underscores necessary if original filename is desired. One hypothesis is that perhaps for security reasons there were changes made in Firefox 127 for how character escaping is performed.

Tested Operating Systems: Ubuntu 24.04, Windows 11 22H2, Windows 11 24H2, macOS Sonoma (14.5) Affected Firefox version(s): Confirmed 127.0, 127.0.1, 127.0.2 Tested Firefox versions which do not reproduce the behavior: 126.x, 125.x > Testing Microsoft Edge, Chromium, Google Chrome on Windows, macOS, Linux: files download with correct name as expected. Testing performed with clean installations on clean VMs with no add-ons enabled.

To reproduce: Download the latest release of Velociraptor from Github (at the time of this writing, 0.72.3) for preferred platform / operating system. Run Velociraptor using the gui switch, e.g. "$sudo velociraptor-v0.72.3-windows-amd64 gui" or "$ velociraptor-v0.72.3-windows-amd64.exe gui" Navigate to Server Artifacts and click the "+" icon at the top Search for Server.Utils.CreateMSI - select and press Launch Select the newly-created flow, click "Uploaded Files" tab and click vfs_path to download the file or, click the Notebook tab and click Download JSON or Download CSV buttons to download JSON or CSV respectively, underscores are appended to beginning and end of filenames.

I created a Password Generator add-on two days ago. Interestingly, it was approved, but when I added it to my Firefox extensions list, it’s not working. However, it works perfectly fine locally when I use it directly from my files. Could you help me understand what the issue might be? If there was an error or something wrong, why did it get approved?

Firefox was once the most popular browser in the world, but then Mozilla started releasing updates every week and became disgusting. Now Mozilla has a tiny piece of the market, they have essentially lost almost everything, but they continue to shit with updates like diarrhea, which most users do not need and it's impossible to refuse the annoying, ugly constant reminder about updates. I'm not even talking about the fact that after a refusal to update to a new version, there is a forced update to a new version without permission. So, why doesn't this company learn from its mistakes and become at least a little smarter?
