Hi. On an Active Directory, we deploy Firefox (normal or ESR). It's OK. When we deactivate the link of the GPO, it's supposed to uninstall. But it doesn't (even if we delete the GPO, specifying to uninstall at once).

The gpresult command on each computer doesn't show the GPO anymore, but Firefox is still installed.

( FYI, we used to do that with FrontMotion Community Edition, and it was always working (instal and uninstal). We even just tried the "last" (but old) ESR edition present on the FrontMotion site (CEESR-102), and it works. But FM CE version has stopped being developped. )

So, any idea about why the official Mozilla Firefox version (normal or ESR) doesn't uninstall?

Thanks by advance.

After updating to v132 I have noticed a significant increase in the load times for some websites that our users connect to. Using v131.0.3 I usually see < 1 second load times for the two websites I am monitoring but after upgrading to v132 it is consistently taking 18-19 seconds for the same page. I have tried uninstalling v132 and reverting to v131 and it immediately goes back to the much faster load times. I have also tried installing various v133 releases and I see the same performance issue as for v132.

The environment I am working in is behind a network firewall with relatively restrictive internet access and I am wondering whether there are sites that Firefox is trying to connect to for the new anti-tracking or suspicious activity features (or anything else) that are being blocked and are therefore causing timeouts and retries that are bumping the total load time up.

Can anyone think of anything else I could check or change?

Hello,

I would like to create Managed Bookmarks for our company and distribute them via Group Policy. However, I am unable to create subfolders for these Managed Bookmarks, so they would all be in one folder and quite disorganized, which is why I need subfolders. Can I map this using a JSON file, and if so, could someone assist me with the structure of the JSON file?

Thank you in advance!

Kind regards

We have an application running on Firefox and noticed that with new Firefox ESR, Ajax call (XMLHttpRequest ) from js script running on Firefox browser on thin clients seems to be blocked frequently (same call succeed most of the time, but blocked from time to time). Issue was raised starting with Firefox 128.2.0esr), but in general persist with newer Firefox ESR. We tried replacing XMLHttpRequest with fetch which seems making no much difference so far.

Does Firefox support this?

Hi, I am in a company where there is 100 and more devices with firefox on it. Right now we are facing a problem where some of it are using version way back into the days such as version 100 115 117 and such. We enabled auto updating but it only updates to version 127 whereas the latest version is 132. We are required to open firefox again for multiple time b4 it gets the latest version. Is there any way to jump those stages and straight updates to the latest version?

Are there any plans to make configuration of the setting "network.proxy.system_wpad" available via ADMX (grouppolicy under Windows)? We need to deploy this to 100 computers and I still have no idea how.

Feature was introduced in FF 125: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-enterprise-125-release-notes We currently use 128.4.0esr.

We need this configuration, so Firefox also uses "automatic configuration" which is set in system settings.

I recently switched from FF 116 to ESR. (I wasn't allowing updates until I had video difficulties) I just wanted my browser to work and be simple; I hate changes, especially some of the things Mozilla bombards us with in updates. (I wish I could choose what I want and not be forced to accept all of it.) To solve my video problems, I had done a refresh with extreme trepidation and that didn't help, so I decided to be on a new version of FF/ ESR because I was nervous about the latest FF. I only understand tweaking in config and adding extensions. I don't know anything about CSS, and I don't want to. :) I did change the density setting in config and chose that via 'customize toolbar.' The density is not compact enough for me. Before in regular FF, I had a tight look to my bookmarks as they dropped down. Now the vertical spaces are wider; the density is not enough. I can't find a way to make it 'tighter' like I had it before in regular FF. (I don't feel like switching back. Sigh...) Are there some other settings or an app that can make the change I am looking for?

(I can't take a screen shot because as soon as I touch a place away from the drop down, the drop down disappears.)
