Firefox Community Forum

I see the new AI chatbox feature buried within Firefox Labs. Is there not a way through a policies.json to disable that feature if it's unwanted? If there isn't, when would that be added (and hopefully before this feature becomes live in a future release)?

Have I explained above that this Printer is new to me and I suddenly don't know how to send the email to P.R. to whom I have just typed the email! And if it was possible, I would like to print it for my records. Thank you

Hi & Happy New Year,

OS: Windows 11 Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Display: LG 27GN950 Firefox: 133.0.3 (64-bit)

When I wake my monitor from power save mode Firefox has shrunk in size. I usually have my Firefox window sized at something like 2200 x 1900 pixels. Whenever the monitor wakes from power save mode the window has been resized to 1011 x 712.

Any suggestions for troubleshooting?

Thanks.

To the appropriate person I have used the Firefox browser for many years. And will continue to do so. I have been given a challenge. The Firefox browser refreshes the websites several times just as it reopens the page again and again. The mouse pointer chops across the screen. It all started within the last week. Is it a setup error or an update that didn't go as it should? I don't have the same problems with Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. Kind regards KlausW

My account was probably hacked. I noticed this from an email I received from Mozilla. My account was logged in from Africa, which i noticed from the timezone because the email gives literally no detail. I logged into my account to kick them out but i found out i couldnt because the button didnt work. All the other kick buttons worked except the hackers. Mozilla has done nothing other than to email me.

Everything was completely fine, then I left for a week to go on vacation. After I came back I tried to log into youtube, and I got a 400 error. After the failed attempt to log in, now I can't go to any pages on any site, including youtube which I was just on. If I try to load a page, it just stops instantly. If it goes past that, it just says that firefox can't connect to that server. I went into my cache and made sure that cookies were all cleared, and even went into my firefox profile to see if there was anything and there isn't. I tried restarting firefox, and my computer, neither helped. Firefox is completely bricked right now and I have no idea why. I hate that I even had to boot up chrome to type this out.

I am facing an issue with my LinkedIn account as I cannot remember my username and password. I am willing to provide my government ID for verification, but I cannot find that option.

i asked this already but no answer. I have two recovery keys, how can i check which is the one set for my preferred installation of Firefox. One was for my en-CA install, the other for an en-US install made a week later due to an update glitch. I had to use my en-CA recovery key to recover my settings to the en-US install, which then made a new recovery key.

I want to get rid of the spurious en-US install. -en-CA is in it's original location c:\program files\mozilla firefox

-en-US is in "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" the directory trees appear the same except en-CA has a locale.ini file that the other does not.

Does the original recovery key STILL apply to the -en-CA install or has the -en-US install's key replaced it.

And can I delete the -en-US folder with consequences?

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 get what looks like a DoS attack every day at 7:43. It disables my PC for about 10 minutes. I have traced it a Mozilla task using the task scheduler. The scheduler provides the following information:

The Background Update task checks for updates to Firefox when Firefox is not running. This task is installed automatically by Firefox, and is reinstalled when Firefox runs. To disable this task, update the browser settings or the Firefox enterprise policy setting “BackgroundAppUpdate”.

I have gone into settings but can't find the BackgroundAppUpdate setting to see if disabling this task will solve the problem. Any idea where it is?

I am having Sync issues. Computer 1 (Macbook Air 2011) and Computer 2 (Macbook Air 2015) were synced just fine. Yesterday I bought Computer 3 (Macbook Air 2024) and when I downloaded firefox onto Computer 3 the bookmarks looked like things associated with me at some point they were not mirroring Computers 1 and 2. I did forget my password so went to Computer 1 which was the first to create my firefox account and reset my password. I then made sure I was logged in on all 3 computers. Computer 2 then decided to mirror/sync to the new Computer 3 losing all my bookmarks instead of Computer 3 mirroring Computers 2 and 1. Computer 1 stayed just fine with the bookmarks I want so I disabled sync on Computer 1 to not lose all the bookmarks. I can see that because Computer 1 is old Firefox is up to date but on a different version running 78.15.0es. Computers 2 and 3 are running 133.0.3.

I am hoping someone has info on how I can get my original bookmarks from Computer 1 back onto Computer 2 and 3

Any and all help is much appreciated
