Firefox Community Forum

Hi,

At my work, we use Windows AppLocker to allow only trusted code to be executed. Firefox works great in this environment, but I do have a request.

We were regularly getting notices of untrusted code being attempted from the "%windir%\temp\NS?????.tmp\" folder, which was a mystery to us for a long time. We finally tracked the cause back to "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\uninstall\helper.exe", which extracts DLLs (e.g. system.dll, shelllink.dll, userinfo.dll and accesscontrol.dll). It's my pleasure to report that the extracted DLLs ARE signed (btw, thank you so much for that!!). However, I had an embarrassingly hard time getting to this point since the code is code only exists temporarily, and I sadly never had the thought that NS might mean Netscape.

Incase there are others in my situation, I was wondering you'd like to prepend the .tmp folder name to include moz- or Mozilla?

I think there may be others in my situation, since our instance that followed the best practice of exempting all DLLs in Program Files from the exclusion policy, and since Firefox keeps all DLLs in Program Files, these were the only Firefox DLLs being checked.

Thank you for 30 years of a great product!

Right now there is an annoying hybrid Reopen Closed Window or Tab feature on the Ctrl+Shift+T hotkey. But Reopen Closed Window already had the Ctrl+Shift+N hotkey, even prior to this change. I can't find anywhere to change this behavior.

Why is Firefox Browser no longer an acceptable browser to access some on-line accounts? Business entities are no longer recognizing Firefox. When utilizing another browser connectivity is no issue.

On my Mac with current OS X update, Firefox is great except for one website: kaiserpermanente.org - it will not respond. Attached is a copy of the Firefox response page when I try to login, or ask about cookies, or anything besides their home page. PS, everything works perfectly on my i-phone.

Thanks.

Hi!

I've been a Firefox user ever since I've had an internet connection (probably around 2008). Whenever I would do a clean Windows installation every 1 or 2 years, I remember I would have my passwords, history, and extensions synced. Today I performed a clean reinstall again after maybe 2 years and I don't have any of my old history, passwords, extensions.

I'm a bit desperate, I have really important stuff saved over the years. I use Tree Style Tabs and I've customized my browser client to fit my needs and it was perfect, but I seem to have lost everything and I don't know what happened. It didn't even cross my mind something like this would happen.

Is there anything I can do? I have old emails from 2018 and 2021 from Firefox Accounts which show I used the same email.

Today when I tried to log-in into Firefox Accounts from inside the browser (button at the top right corner) it seemed that none of my passwords worked, so I clicked the "Forgot email" password and set-up a better one, but once logged in there was no sync with the old data I had. Then I thought maybe I had the wrong account so I logged in with my Google/Gmail account but there was nothing there as well.

Is there something I can do? I really need my old history, passwords, extensions, etc. Especially now as I'm graduating from University and I have important events coming up.

And no, I don't have any local profiles any more since I did a full, clean reinstall on my primary SSD. But I remember I've never used local profiles, everything would sync up again once I logged in. Maybe forgetting and resetting my password logged out my previous session and I lost it forever?

I hope you can help me sort this out.

Thank you for your time!

When previewing an image that was uploaded to a Google Calendar Event, I get an error "Couldn't preview file. There was a problem displaying this image." I've spoken to Google support and they suggested I reach out as when I try in Chrome, it works. Firefox is my preferred browser so I would love if I didn't have to switch to Chrome.

Troubleshooting Done: - Verified Firefox is up to date (130.0 64 bit) - Cleared cache and cookies, closed browser, reopened - Tried in 'Troubleshoot Mode' - Ad Blocker turned off - Uploaded test .png and .jpeg to see if it was a file extension issue - Uploaded smaller versions of images to see if it was a size issue - No issues when doing same steps in Chrome browser

I have used Firefox for years to use application Availity. All of a sudden cannot open on FireFox but open it in Chrome. I sign in to Availity and 'acts' like going to load but goes immediatley to the sign out screen. Reached out to Availity said to clear Cache...I did restarted and same issue.

Hi,

I've been wanting to switch from Chrome to Firefox for the longest time, but I can't do it since surround audio doesn't seem to be supported natively in Firefox. I'm using a Logitech G733, with "Surround Audio" activated in GHub, and on Chromium based browsers, it works, I hear it when watching Youtube videos, Twitch streams..., but on Firefox, it defaults to stereo audio. I haven't been able to find any settings related to audio in Firefox, nor in the concerned websites. Is it a known issue ?

On my first sign-in attempt I get a message indicating my computer cannot connect to the server. I am asked to wait 15 minutes and sign in again. As long as I wait 15 minutes or more, the second sign-in attempt is successful. What is going on here? What do I need to do to be able to connect on my first sign-on attempt?

I don't care about the 'security' of my Firefox account, so why do I NEED two-factor authentication? I don't want to do that. Then I could switch to Google right away. So why are you FORCING people to switch browsers if they don't want to comply? Because I'd rather do that than enable two-factor authentication for such useless accounts

Cannot get into Firefox as of 3 hours ago. Error message see screenshot below. Hope you can help as Firefox is my default browser.
