I cannot log into websites that use CloudFlare as their CDN. ChatGPT gave me a laundry list of things to check, and after exhausting that list, I decided that the great developers at Mozilla might be able to steer me in the right direction. Below is what ChatGPT suggested:

I asked:

> When trying to log into any resource that uses the CloudFlare CDN I get the following response: > > Icon for givewp.comgivewp.com > > Verify you are human by completing the action below. > givewp.com needs to review the security of your connection before proceeding. > Ray ID: 90067ba77ed70ff1 > Performance & security by Cloudflare > > After checking if I am human or not, the login proc fails with no error message and then just presents the captcha again. > > This only occurs when I attempt to login to resources that use the CloudFlare CDN. > > Is this a known issue with CloudFlare. If it is, is there a known solution to the issue?

ChatGPT replied:

To address this problem, consider the following steps: > > Disable Browser Extensions: Certain browser extensions, particularly those related to privacy, security, or ad-blocking, may interfere with Cloudflare's verification process.

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" } } } }

Hello,

on some websites firefox does add one space in front and after copied text. This does not happen with Safari or Chrome:

Example: If you try to copy the movie title you can reproduce the problem: https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/212989-lego-ninjago-dragons-rising

Firefox: " LEGO Ninjago: Dragons Rising (2023) "

Chrome & Safari: "LEGO Ninjago: Dragons Rising (2023)"

This happens on Windows and MacOS. I did not test Linux or other systems. Firefox Version was 134.0 ARM for MacOS and 133.0.3 64-Bit on windows.

Help!

All of a sudden, I get a "Not enough room to save" error message when I try to download a fill. There is plenty of room on my disk.

Also, it's not giving me the option of just opening the file.

I've been needing to use Edge to download files.

Windows shut down my computer and when I restarted it all my data was gone! (Thanks Windows!) In order to restore my data, I had to create another user profile with adimn. privileges. That restored my desktop icons and other data, but not my bookmarks and browsing history. Is there a way I can recover those?

I use a 2009 Mac Mini running OS 10.11.6 dedicated for streaming. I was prompted to update Firefox to ESR which I did, replacing the older version of Firefox. The new version will not open.

It was the only browser I had. Can I undo the installation? Or download 78.15.0 somehow to restore the functionality of this Mac?

Using Firefox version 134 (64bit). When I click "Bookmarks / Manage Bookmarks, the listing defaults to the "Other Bookmarks" folder. I would like it to default to the "Bookmarks Menu" folder. How do I make it do that? Note: In 2023, I used a fix submitted by cor-el that modified autoconfig.js and autoconfig.cfg and worked very well, however in Firefox v 134, it no longer works

I have been building websites on and off for many years using Notepad++, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP. During development and maintenance, I heavily use Firefox and Firefox Developer Edition on the computer where I build the sites (both editions are affected). I also have many notes on an offline website.

Recently, the links in these offline websites no longer work in Firefox. They function as usual in Microsoft Edge and the newly installed Vivaldi 7. They also work on an old laptop with an older version of Firefox. I think the issue was introduced in one of the recent updates. Could you please look into this? Otherwise, I cannot use Firefox as an offline browser and the developers add-ons on my laptop anymore.

Kind regards, Martijn de Jong

I sent this message to Mozilla support in Dutch and would like to send an English translation as well.

Do you have a solution for this issue?

I use the Firefox "password keeper". Today, I changed the password on a website. The Firefox app auto filled the new password. Everything was fine. But when I went back to the password keeper, there was a double entry for the website for which the password was changed. I inadvertently deleted the website (and password) that I should have kept.

Is there anyway to retrieve and restore that password?

Why would some of my pages be appearing in Polish? Apparently I did have an privacy issue about a week ago but changed my password and since then I mostly have to change the language from Polish to English each time I open Firefox. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

When ever I start Firefox, Bing comes up. My default search is Google. This is set in settings. Why is Bing even there? I do not want it associated with Firefox. I am getting ready to dump Firefox unless this can be undone.

I am running Firefox for Mac and after the recent update to v134.0, links or texts pasted in Yahoo web mail are all placed at the TOP of the message rather than where the cursor points..this never occurred prior to the update so its clearly a bug that needs to be corrected.

I want to install latest version of Firefox due to come into effect on 14th January but my Mac OS X won't allow it to happen probably because it is out of date and unsupported I would be grateul for help on this please ( I have reached the limit of OS X on my current desktop) Charles

Website will not allow Firefox to display the page if another site has embedded it Firefox, Firefox for Android Last updated: 2 weeks, 5 days ago 28% of users voted this helpful

If you encounter this error, it is likely because a website is attempting to display another website without the owner's consent. This issue typically arises from a security misconfiguration.

Websites can utilize x-frame options or a content security policy to control whether other websites can embed them. These are essential security tools designed to prevent clickjacking, a type of attack where malicious sites trick users into clicking on something different from what they perceive.

To visit a site that displays this error message, you can hold down the control key while you click the link and select Open Link in New Tab or Open Link in New Window. Alternatively, you can copy and paste the link into an already open new tab or window. However, be aware that the embedding page may not function correctly without access to the blocked content. In such cases, you may need to contact the owner of the problematic site for further assistance.
