How do I block firefox hello in my business network

We don't allow any kind of chat in the office, and expend lots of time banning facebook, skype, Gmail chat, etc., from our networks. Unfortunately, we rely quite a lot on Firefox for our web interoffice applications (intranet).
This seems like another unwanted app we'll have to deal with.

Did you check the network setting?
Sounds that you have set to connect automatically when a connection is not available.

How can I Remove Firefox Hello in a high-security environment?

Hi,
After a recent Firefox update in a test environment for a high-security environment (I'm not at liberty to disclose the nature of this environment, sorry. Let's just say we have to disable Firefox from contacting Mozilla's servers and further disable Google's "Safe Browsing" due to possibility of inadvertent unauthorized disclosure) We have noticed a feature: "Firefox Hello", this feature causes Firefox to violate strict policy as it transforms it from being classified as strictly a "Web Browser" (which is permitted) to a "Chat Application", all of which are completely banned. Simply disabling Hello is not a sufficient option as Firefox still contains the code to run Hello, which still constitutes it a "Chat Application" as per policy. We have the capability to edit out unauthorized code from open source software internally, but we don't know where to start to remove this code from the Firefox codebase as Hello seems pretty well integrated.
Currently I only have two options, both of which do not please me as for me personally, (I really like Firefox and have fought to include it in any environment I can):
1. Discontinue permanent use of Firefox.
2. Discontinue updating Firefox permanently or until Hello is removed as a non-modular element. This is unacceptable as it'd mean we can't keep it secure, which causes us to fall back to (1).
I would graciously like any third option. Internet Explorer seems to be the only browser that provides sufficient enterprise-level control without extraneous features at the moment with the addition of Hello to Firefox. We have banned Chrome from our environment due to how tightly bound it is with Google's "Cloud" services and hope that Firefox isn't becoming a "Cloud" browser for Mozilla, Sync has already placed Firefox under the microscope as it is.
Thank you.

We have WebRTC traffic blocked (We have a setup that audits SSL traffic before it leaves or enters the network).
Our primary issue with Hello is that policy classifies the actual code used to run it as being very much like an Easter Egg, code that was inserted that goes beyond the spec of being a web browser and thus difficult to audit. It's easy to block services in general, but when an a single unauthorized service becomes a core feature and has code strapped to the browser, that throws up red flags that Mozilla is moving Firefox away from being a organization-managable browser and more toward an exclusively mozilla-managed "Cloud" browser, where there is a possibility that Mozilla will seek more control over user experience that will increase attack surface.
It's reasons like this we decline to install Chrome into our environment, because Google has several services built-in to the core of their browser and do not leverage their extensions capabilities, but rather mandates that these features "must be installed" and that users can only toggle them off.
It's easy to uninstall an extension or to recompile with a flag, but it's hard when a vendor makes decisions for you and tells you "This is good for you, you must embrace it" irrespective of policy of organizations or even individual users wishes.
Thank you all for this information, it will help our future audits and help determine if Firefox is right for our needs.
Unfortunately I can't mark this thread as "Solved" since the root issue is still not solved (Mozilla's development practices making something that should be an extension, a core aspect of the browser), so marking it solved would be a lie. But thank you both nonetheless.

How can I get Firefox to run on a network with multiple users logging on with the same user name and password?

I am trying to get Firefox running on a large network where I have multiple users that log on with the same user name and password. The problem is that when another user logs on to another computer the message comes up that their is already an instance of firefox running on that computer even though there really isn't. Only one instance can be run on the network at one time. I believe it is because firefox stores a shared profile as it thinks it is actually the same user even though it is being run on another computer. I repeat that each user that logs on uses the same user name and password but on different computers.

How can I block bogus web site that keeps trying to update firefox? Need to identify bogus site too.

hello, this is a scam tactic that is trying to trick you into installing malware, so don't download or execute this kind of stuff - updates are handled automatically by firefox so you don't have to download anything (you can always initiate a manual check for updates in ''firefox > help > about firefox'').
you might also want to run a full scan of your system with the security software already in place and different tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes], [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] & [http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan kaspersky security scan] in order to make sure that there isn't already some sort of malware active on your system that triggers these false alerts.
[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]
you could also help by pressing F10 & going to ''help > report web forgery'' while you're on this dubious page - this might get the page into the list of malicious sites that get blocked in firefox (the actual list is maintained by google) or when such pages use the firefox logos or trademarks to trick users into downloading malware you could also file it at https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/legal/fraud-report/.

How do I block a popup window that I have allowed to open on Firefox once? I now have the popup blocker set to block all sites, but the popup still opens every time I open Firefox or open (sometimes) a new tab.

How do I block a popup? I allowed this popup to open once. Now I have set the popup blocker to block all sites but this popup still opens every time I open Firefox and sometimes (usually) when I open a new tab.
I Have stopped and restarted Firefox multiple times.
I have rebooted the computer.
I have set the tools/options/content/block pop-up windows/exceptions to block all sites (no exceptions).
I have no other issues with Firefox.
I have Adblock plus (with (1) subscription) installed
I am currently using Firefox version 4.0 on Windows7 Ultimate.

Just to address the last point: check your History menu to see whether you have the Restore Previous Session option and use that if you can. If that is grayed out or doesn't restore everything, check the Recently Closed Windows and Recently Closed Tabs lists for other pages.
The unwanted window may be generated by an add-on. Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Any improvement?
Here are some other things to check:
(1) user.js file that changes Firefox startup behavior and overrides your preferences. This article describes how to track that down and delete it if you have one: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
(2) Possible hijacked shortcut. Check the "target" of the desktop icon you use to start Firefox to see whether it lists the unwanted page. To do that:
right-click the icon > Properties > Shortcut tab
For 64-bit Windows 7, the Target should be no more and no less than this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
(3) Possible undisclosed bundle items. If you have installed any free software recently, check your Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a program for surprises. If you click the "Installed on" column head to group by date, it is easier to spot bundled junk. Remove everything suspicious or unrecognized.
(4) Supplemental clean up scans. Our support article lists tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
Hopefully that cures it.

It was never free for the 3GS.
It is if the initial sign-up is done on an iPhone 4, iPad or iPod touch 4th gen.
From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4436:
After I sign up for Find My iPhone for free, can I use it on other iOS devices?
Yes, if your devices are running iOS 4.2. For example, you can sign up for Find My iPhone for free on your iPad and use the same account information to sign in to MobileMe on your iPhone 3GS and turn on Find My iPhone.

How do I reset Firefox when I'm blocked?

I have the Ukash malware virus on my Mac, which blocks Firefox. I clicked on troubleshooting. Then pressed the reset Firefox button, but it wouldn't work. I can't even get the Firefox toolbar showing unless I access Firefox from Safari. I am writing this on Safari, which works fine.

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

WARNING: Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!

I have accidentally blocked Firefox's access to the internet, how do I unblock it?

Earlier I saw a popup while I was browsing that said that Firefox was trying to access my internet, and at the time this seemed suspicious. I don't know why, but I pressed "block" which, in return, blocked my entire access of the internet through Firefox. I tried reinstalling Firefox, and I also tried to do stuff with the firewall but I didn't understand what to do. How could I allow Firefox to access the internet again?

Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

How can I stop Firefox from blocking sites that do not supply ownership information?

I am trying to access a website and I get a 400 Bad Request message. Further "research" leads to the "This website does not supply ownership information" message. I have cleared history and cookies, reloaded the page and followed all the answers given in relevant support pages but nothing works. All other browsers allow me to see the page, but I do not want to keep switching to chrome or IE. There must be a security setting somewhere that must be switched off. I find it extremely annoying to be saddled with settings I have not asked for, have no information on have no way to control. This is what Microsoft does and why I use Mozilla.

It would help if you could provide the address for an example of such a site so others may check it. Give as an example something publicly accessible and not needing registration.
Is any other software interfering?
* what is ''Intel web components for Intel® Identity Protection Technology ''
Have you tried clearing site cookies, reloading using Ctrl+F5 and maybe clearing the Firefox cache.
If you have problems with only one site and only in Firefox, the problem is often outdated or corrupt files relating to that web page. I suggest you try the following.
*Note It '''looks''' complicated but check the site after each numbered step, the first or 2nd step may solve the problem The linked articles have '''pictures''' ( screen shots) of the actions you need.
# Try using the sites home page or a direct link and not a bookmark.
# Reload website using an extra step to use avoid using the cached info.
#* Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button OR Press '"Ctrl + F5"' |(Mac ) "Cmd + Shift + R"
#Clear the cache, and cookies only from problem websites.
##Remove the cookies for a single problem website Use: FirefoxButton / Tools → Options → |Privacy| → "Remove individual cookies" See: [[Delete cookies to remove the information websites have stored on your computer#w_delete-cookies-for-a-single-site]]'''_delete-cookies-for-a-single-site'''
## Clear the cache Use ''FirefoxButton / Tools → Options → |Advanced | → Network >'' See: [[How to clear the Firefox cache#w_clear-the-cache]]_clear-the-cache
# If the above did not work try in Firefox'[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_Mode s] Safe Mode to check if an extension or some other factor causes the issue. Use: FirefoxButton /Tools → Help → ''Restart with Addons disabled... ''.
