Hi, I'm developing an extension that uses API. I did not found legal method to turn off the preflight requests to API endpoints. API is not considered to response `OPTIONS' method with `Access-Control-Allow-Origin'. Therefore I cannot use it, browser does not allow it. I trusted the website API by 100%.

Is there any method to turn off CORS policy for the specific domain. Thx

As the title says, when I open an image in another tab, is there any way to pan an image with the middle mouse button or any shortcut buttons, my pointer is locked to magnifying in and out and the scroll bars on the sides of the image are incredibly awkward to use so I've been looking for an alternative and I wasn't able to find any.

When I type "maps" into the address bar search, it will automatically fill in whichever website containing the word "maps" in the URL when I press enter. Is there a way to turn off this behaviour without taking those suggestions out of the search altogether? I just want to be able to type in "maps" into my address bar and be taken to google maps when I press enter, not to go to whatever site I have visited before that uses maps. Currently I have to type out my search and then press an arrow key or backspace to ensure it's a google search. I still WANT to have those suggestions in the dropdown menu for selection, but I DON'T want it to autocomplete a URL for me when I just want to go to google maps.

Some websites I subscribe to such as one on history, have pop up videos pertinent to the subject, but when I ask them, they say they know nothing about it. How can I block ALL pop up videos from everywhere?

I am getting this message on my desktop from a site that I was using for a few years without any problem. Must to be something in my computer because my roommate in his computer is able to connect to this site. Need help to fix this issue.

"Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site. We can’t connect to the server at unsoloclic.info. If you entered the right address, you can:

   Try again later
   Check your network connection
   Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall)"

I have tried to make a Mozilla account using an outlook mail. Is this not possible? Every single link and Sign In / Sign Up button I have found has redirected me to a page where I can only Sign In to an existing account or continue with Google/Apple. I finally caved and used my Gmail.

Hello, I congratulate you on the New Year. In fact, there have been some irregularities in the ecosystem. We have tried to improve it to some extent. I ask you to help me with any ideas you can, so that the tokens can move more easily and in a better order, and to receive instructions from only one source of ownership to perform the maneuver. Thank you and I am grateful.

I'm having serious problems with a Windows 11 desktop. While waiting for help from tech support, I've discovered that bookmarks have disappeared and/or been rearranged in Firefox on the desktop, but not my laptop. That’s actually a relatively minor problem in the scheme of things concerning the desktop, but I still have to deal with it.

I before I thought about possible consequences, I checked Firefox on my laptop, and saw that the bookmarks there were fine. But now, because I have syncing turned on, and don't know what continued effect that may have, I’ve closed FF on both computers and made Chrome my default browser for the time being.

Ideally, while I’m waiting for my desktop issues to be solved, I'd like to turn off syncing and then continue using FF when I use my laptop. But I’m concerned about what further effect *any* use of FF on either computer may have on the bookmarks. I'd hate to go into the settings only to find that in doing so I'd done something to cause the desktop & laptop bookmarks to snyc, to the detriment of the latter. And with syncing enabled, I'm reluctant to use FF at all on my laptop.

I'd appreciate advice on how to handle this problem. I do have everything on the laptop backed up, but it would be nice if I didn't have to rely on that.

Thanks.

Sometimes I am asked to complete a Google Forms form to register for an event. This seems to work fine with all but one business. For that business, Chrome works just fine. Firefox does honor the submit button on this company's form. It used to last year and did in early September, but not since.

Also, I recently purchased a used car from Chevy. When I need to log in to their portal to sign up for service, I need to use Chrome. When I try to log in using Firefox, a new window opens but does not offer me the username or pwd prompts.

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, It's been like....forever.....that when I log onto a sight, a window pops up asking whether if I want to save the id and password for that sight. All of a sudden, a week or so ago, all of my passwords just vanished! It has been saving them for every site that I chose to save. I would, on occasion, go in and manually delete one or some, but I have really come to depend on Firefox for saving the info. I just don't know what has happened. Any ideas on how I can remedy this? Thanks.....
