I am using Firefox 132 on Debian 12 and when I set the permission"store data in persistent storage" to block it will change to its default state of 'always ask"

i expect when the change is made it should remain unchanged. Why is this change occurring?

I have "Don't enable HTTPS-Only Mode" selected and still cannot connect to local sites. Example http://192.168.1.81 is chnaged to https://192.168.1.81 and rrecive cannot connect message.

This problem started after you last week after an update.

Hi, I have AVAST anti-virus.

Trying to connect to my YAHOO site (and many other sites) from Firefox , I get an "unrecognized issuer" message regarding the AVAST CA: i.e. the avast certificate is not recognized (see image)

Trying to connect to the same site(s) from Chrome, I get a "valid CA" message regarding the YAHOO certificate (see image) - no AVAST CA in the middle (at least not mention in a message...) .

My question: Why ?

Best, Avi

My cookies won't clear. When I try, I still show 304 kb, and this problem has persisted for several days. Note that I clear my cookies and history each time that I shut down my computer.

Hello I recently added a Uniswap browser extension to my desktop from your extensions tab. It is a bad program and it has stolen my seed phrase and subsequently all of the crypto from my metamask wallet. How is this allowed to happen?

No matter how many times I clear "everything" from history, I still see firefox suggestions on the new tab page from websites I visited months ago. This is really annoying and could be embarrassing if you were on certain sites. I will NEVER understand why the default is to hang on to old data.....when it should be the opposite; users should choose to retain ONLY the history they choose to. I have CLEAR HISTORY when firefox closes checked....this is BROKEN please fix it

Hi Everyone!

I'm on the very latest version of firefox and in the last few weeks when using messenger and someone sends me attachments and the like it won't work.

Yet when I fire up Chrome it works like a charm so I know its a setting or feature in firefox that I need to change.

Can anyone help?

Many Thanks!

Hello, I have a problem with McAfee antivirus. I have Firefox installed and these are the logs from the antivirus:

Is it ok? Is this a legitimate process?

Thank you.

I keep getting a firefox upload display for a old file explorer. I should be showing the current file explore data. Why am I getting the message 'firefox upload and not just file explorer. When I first check the computer 10 my current updated is displayed un the tag at top as file explorer Thanks, Perry

Recently on line viewing panda webcams (thinking I was at zoo in California). Unfortunately, China and Japan both picked up during this viewing. I am no longer able to simply delete cookies - due to constant updates. I have attempted to delete them - following asst., information that is available. I am 82 years old - and not that savy with a lot of the computer instructions on line.

ANY suggestions and/or help - appreciated more than you know.

Why does Firefox keep asking to save an address when I have addresses auto fill disabled. The check box is not selected yet anytime FF has an address on a site, it prompts me to save it. Very annoying.

I have scanned my PC for viruses with Windows Defender multiple times and it says there is none. There is no plugin which could sabotage my browser and I have downloaded the browser from the official website and keep it updated. Please help me resolve this issue.

One of the add-in permissions is "Access your data for sites in the “named” domain". I looked at that and thought, "That certainly cannot include passwords"; BUT the explanation for this permission is: "The extension could read the content of web pages you visit in the specified domain, as well as data you enter into those web pages, such as usernames and passwords. "

I was stunned.

That means that addins that get this permission have access to my banking/medical/etc. usernames & passwords. This is not acceptable. Can a permission be developed that would be: "Access your data for sites in the “named” domain" (except usernames/passwords).

The permission "Access your data for all websites" is significantly worse in that it applies to all sites.
