Can you add a configuration setting to Mozilla Firefox to disable Create New Profile, configurable in the policies.json file? (A second option but a much uglier one would be to disable being able to select a file location for a new profile. Then you could make the default profile directory write only, which would also accomplish the same thing.) (A third option would be to able to configure extensions by default upon installation in the ExtensionSettings policy.)

To explain, I use LeechblockNG on Firefox on Ubuntu. Very helpful. By placing a policies.json file (see at bottom) in /etc/firefox/policies/ directory, I can create a system wide policy. I can make the LeechblockNG extension mandatory and to be installed upon every new profile creation. That all works very well. HOWEVER, there is NO way to be able to set those options in the new profile. So LeechblockNG is installed with default options (which are no blocking at all), which effectively bypasses the addon.

I am also writing the author of the leechblock extension to see if there is any way to set the options for leechblock upon installation (the third option above).

But I know other people have this same question, and at present, if I am correct, there is no way to block new profile creation, or the Profile Manager window in Firefox.

So could you please add that option to the Firefox policies.json configuration? Something like "DisableNewProfiles": true would do it.

Thanks!

My current policies.json file in /etc/firefox/policies/ directory: { "policies": { "BlockAboutConfig": true, "BlockAboutProfiles": true, "PrivateBrowsingModeAvailability": 1, "DisableSafeMode": true, "ExtensionSettings":{ "*": { "installation_mode": "blocked", "blocked_install_message": "Prohibited install more extensions." }, "leechblockng@proginosko.com": { "installation_mode": "force_installed", "install_url": "https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/4374316/leechblock_ng-1.6.6.xpi" } } } }

I can not access duck duck go from the firefox web browser version 133.0.3 either by typing it as an address in the bar nor by using it as the default search engine in settings. Google and you tube are blocked on our network by a firewall. Duck Duck go used to work, but at some point stopped. This is on mulptiple PC's and Chromebooks.

I see the following sites show up on the firewall's blocked list when I startup Firefox Desktop: (See Attached photo)

When I type in www.duckduckgo.com on the address bar I get a "server not found" error. If I search for any search query in the address bar with duck duck go set as the default search engine, I get a server not found error.

I can use an apple phone device with safari browser and cell data turned off to access duck duck go's website and complete searches while connected to our network.

I can browse yahoo.com and complete searches with no problem.

Hello,

I was at a friend last night and logged into my monzilla account on his firefox browser. To my shock all his passwords, over 300 of them, got added to my password. I just want to point out here that his passwords were stored locally without an account. As soon as I logged in it started syncing on my account. This is a HUGE SECURITY BREACH and should be addressed immediately. there should at least be a prompt or 2 making sure that I want to add locally stored password to my account or not.

If I had not noticed it at that time I would probably have gotten away with all of his passwords without me or him knowing. I had to manually delete the ~300 entries. makes you think how many times this already happened in the past for others.

Best regards, Remco

It is what it sounds like. Just merely switching to it crashes it. Previously I was struck on Private mode but after reinstalling, I'm now struck on normal mode. Don't know if it's a bug or whatever but it is what it is. It noticed this around a week ago but don't know it was there even before that. Last time I left it on Private and didn't switch but when I went to switch Last week, it crashed.

This is something I've noticed in the last couple of mouths...

Initially everything on Firefox runs fine for the first 1-3 hours, but after that the multiple YouTube website video tabs I generally have open, especially the very last YouTube website video tab that's open, or any new YouTube website video tab I open, starts to lag like crazy.

Using my mouse to click the play/pause on the video player, or pressing the play/pause function key or spacebar on my keyboard, takes a good 3 or 4 seconds before the input action is registered, and it's not just that but the entire UI of the web page itself is slowed down.

Doing simple things like clicking on-screen buttons to navigate, and scrolling down to load comments, or scrolling down to load other video thumbnails etc etc, takes a good few seconds to actually work.

In general the YouTube tab(s) become very slow and unresponsive, and it's not just the video player on the tabs - it's the YouTube website in general that is affected.

I don't see a substantial difference in CPU or RAM in Task Manager when these 'slow downs' occur, but the fan speeds inside my mini PC do spin louder and louder.

For whatever reason this problem ONLY happens with YouTube. Other websites via other tabs tend to run and function just fine 24/7.

I'm running the latest 133.0.3 version of Firefox, and my system specs are as follows:

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700T CPU @ 2.00GHz Storage: 595.2 GB Installed RAM: 16 GB (15.7 GB usable)

Other people have also reported similar things over on Reddit with regards to Firefox and YouTube.

I’m facing an issue with my website https://emiratesappliances.com/ when loading it on the Firefox browser. The site works perfectly fine on other browsers like Chrome and Edge, but on Firefox, it often fails to load or loads with delays.

Upon researching, I suspect this might be related to DNS over HTTPS (DoH) settings, as the issue started after enabling DoH in Firefox. My website uses HTTPS and is configured with standard DNS settings.

Here are the details:

Website URL: https://emiratesappliances.com/ Firefox Version: (mention your Firefox version, e.g., 118.0) Operating System: (mention your OS, e.g., Windows 11) Troubleshooting steps I’ve tried:

Disabled DNS over HTTPS, and the website started working. Cleared cache and cookies, but it didn’t resolve the issue. Tested the website on a private window, but the problem persists.

It seems Firefox has trouble resolving the DNS for my site when DoH is enabled. Could you please guide me on how to resolve this issue permanently?
