Version 37 has security issues

A certain website that i use now has a dialog box coming up saying"We see you are using Firefox browser 37.0. This browser has a serious security defect and is not recommended for use on this website. Please change to Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari or Opera or any other browser to continue browsing this website without issue. " I am using 37.0.1.

I have a hard time imagining that this site has found a serious security issue. Please continue to use Firefox as normal. I've contact the site and will try to clear this up.
thank you for reporting it!

  • Company email access denied to iphone users due to security issues, help!

    I am interested in purchasing an iphone but my company said they won't allow access to our company email with the iphone due to security issues. Any one else heard of that? Is there some way for me to forward my company email to the account I would set up under the itunes? It seems there are a lot of unhappy people out there with these phones, are there any happy users out there? It seems like such a cool device and I want one but don't want to get stuck with something I can't use or that I am going to have problems with.

    Of course there are happy users.
    These discussions are like a hospital for Mac products with nothing but problems reported here. If you based a decision on purchasing an Apple product, any product on these discussions, you would never purchase any. Coming to the conclusion here that there are no happy users and the iPhone is nothing but problems would be like visiting a local hospital in your area full of patients (all are) and coming to the conclusion that everyone in your community must be sick and/or dying.
    What type of email account - POP, IMAP or Exchange through an Exchange Server?
    Accessing an email account on an iPhone is no different than accessing the account with a computer. Funny that your company claims the iPhone has security issues and prevents access but certainly allows PCs running Windows to access company email accounts? Sorry but this is my biggest laugh of the day - not at you but at your company. Your company has loads of security issues and concerns with any version of Windows accessing their network than they would ever come close to with an iPhone accessing the incoming mail server to download messages.
    If your company allows for email account forwarding, you can do so.

  • Why is Java Deployment Toolkit (click-to-play) blocked, also the referenced bug is closed and there are no security issues known in Version 7 U51?

    I think it is important to block unsecure addons. But if you do so there should be an open bug assigened. The referenced bug for this add-on is allready resolved so I do not know why this plugin is disabled. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=636633
    I have the problem that I want to use Secure_Auth that is using the Java Deployment Kit in such a nasty way (via javascript) that firefox doesn't see that the deployment kit should be started. Therefore I will not be asked to allow this plugin always for this web site. Since there is no documentation available how to do this configuration in a config file I am stuck at the moment.
    I'm a liitle bit suprised that blocking all versions (even secure versions) is a way to get a good user experience.

    That's a bug report in the Blocklisting component, meaning it's a request to add an add-on to the blocklist. The fact that it's marked as fixed means the add-on has been added to the blocklist.
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/blocked/p428
    * [[Add-ons that cause stability or security issues are put on a blocklist]]
    Given that there's no way to disable Click-to-Play for this plug-in (the only options are Ask to Activate or Never Activate), if Firefox doesn't trigger a Click-to-Play prompt, I see no way to use it apart from disabling the entire blocklist. This carries a considerable security risk, as no plug-ins will be blocked or set to Click-to-Play, including known malware. If you're sure you want to go through with it, set ''extensions.blocklist.enabled'' to '''false''' in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config about:config].

  • Security issues faced by users of unsupported OS versions?

    Since Tiger users will relatively soon be in the same situation, I'm wondering what kinds of security issues 10.3.9 users have been faced with now that Panther has for some time not been supported by Apple (including no more security updates). I posted the following in the Tiger Forum, but I'd really appreciate hearing what your experience has been. (BD Aqua in Tiger thought issues simply to do with getting around the Internet would be more the problem than safety).
    I realize I will, sooner or later, have to buy a new Mac and install a more current version, but I would like to postpone this as long as possible. Thanks.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2033860&tstart=0
    Now that S Leo has been officially announced for release in September, a question I've been meaning to ask for a while. What do we Tiger stalwarts have to look forward to in terms of security issues once there are no more security updates, and when, presumably, there are no more new browser versions or updates for soon to be archaic PPC and Tiger? (PPC, I realize, is a separate issue). Will we be, to put it simply, screwed and will it become impossible to safely navigate the internet? I realize the browser issues will probably arrive somewhat later than the OS security issues, since there will continue to be secure third party browsers, at least for a while.
    Since we will, relatively soon, be in a similar position, I'm wondering how the folks still running 10.3.9 are >managing with this? (Might post this over there, too.)

    Most security updates fix holes in the system that can be exploited by hackers. However, hackers are mostly interested in gaining access to systems that have something of value. An individual's system has virtually nothing of value worth a hacker's time and effort. It's far easier for them to get what they want via Internet phishing exploits, but such exploits cannot be fixed by security releases. They require effort on the part of the user to be careful about sites they visit and clicking on links they know nothing about thus providing information about themselves such as social security and/or banking numbers. No amount of security patches will help you with this.
    Most security patches recently issued relate to holes in Safari with a couple for the system. These are obscure holes that require hackers to have intimate knowledge of the software to exploit them. None of these exploits have been known to be used in the field. Rather they have been demonstrated as a way of exposing their existence so they can be fixed.

    Your profile shows you have a 4S with 7.0.6. That is the most current update. Do you also have a 4 that you haven't updated? If so, you should update it too.

    Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
    Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
    Quit Safari
    Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
    Relaunch Safari
    If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
    This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

  • Using latest version of fireFox to access Think Central, pages will not load and they say that this is a security issue with FireFox?

    Teachers in our district are supposed to use www.thinkcentral.com with FireFox.
    Some have no problem accessing the lesson plans.
    Most when they login click on a lesson plan and an icon shows up that says loading but never does.
    If you reboot the computer and login you can open a page once but not a second time and no other lessons will open.
    Think Central support says this is a security issue with Firefox.
    I have updated FireFox, all the Adobe, Reader, Flash, Air and Shockwave. As well as Java.
    I have allowed the pop ups to the think Central web site.
    Any help would be appreciated

    Are there any notification icons on the left end of the address bar? If so, please click them to see whether they related to security issues (such as blocked content - shield icon: [[How does content that isn't secure affect my safety?]]) or a plugin requiring permission (Lego-like icon).
    Does Think Central have any help pages about this issue? Without an account, it is difficult to explore the issue first-hand.

  • My dv5 laptop has an internal "typing" noise/multiple security issues

    I'm not sure if this is a problem, but since I've had all kinds of issues with this particular model (the first Pavilion we were sent by HP had to be returned because the engineers finally deemed it unfixable), I thought I'd ask.  I'm a little nervous about a sound that makes me think of little gremlins inside the unit typing away.  It's not constant, but I'm wondering if that's normal and what the noise is. 
    Another problem is that periodically I'll get a message about the computer having "multiple security issues".  I then do a virus scan, which turns out fine, so I don't know what it means. 

    The Intel chipset issue is not at all related for your Notebook. Its quite unfortunate you are facing this problem as I would say its a coincidence that even your second hard drive went bad so soon.
    Time for you to RMA the new hard drive.

  • Not a question -version 7 has issues with sound.  Period.   Admit it and put out a fix

    There are known issues with version 7 and sound issues on the Iphone.  Apple - please fix it. 

    I'm of the older generation and even posting these messages are foreign to me... however i have read several posts of this very same issue after upgrading.   The phone rings but no other alerts sound.  It will repair itself after reset but that is short lived.  This affects ITunes as well.  

  • Other web browsers and security issues?

    Since even an Apple KB article recognizes the need for an additional browser and because of Safari's limitations and problems, I'm going to try switching to another browser (most likely OmniWeb and am looking at Firefox, Shira and Opera also though perhaps not as a primary browser) but I'm wondering about their ability to keep on top of any security issues for Mac? (and how do you keep up with security updates?)
    Though perhaps unfounded, at least with Safari, I feel that Apple has a vested interest in keeping on top of security issues (for Safari and Java) and I can readily find out about security updates via software updater.

    Most of the other Mac browsers have their adherents. They are all good browsers (I have 7 browsers installed to test various web sites and for change-of-pace usage). They all have their strengths and they all have their weaknesses. Only iCab and OmniWeb are still shareware, the rest are now or always have been free (Opera just recently stopped charging for its browser).
    I have settled on Firefox as my alternate browser and I use it maybe just a tad more than Safari, but I do switch back and forth between them. The Mozilla foundation is good at getting security updates out when needed. Firefox has a button on the toolbar to check for updates. One nice thing about Firefox is that you can install free extensions which enhance the features available. I have one to supplement tab features, one to control iTunes from Firefox's status bar, one to help me format messages in discussion forums, and one to block ads.
    I prefer OmniWeb for doing intensive research because of the way it handles tabs in its sidebar, showing me which ones I've looked at and which ones I haven't, and giving me great flexibility in rearranging tabs, which are viewable as thumbnails or text names (I have had up to a hundred or so tabs open in OmniWeb.
    Shiira is good and its fast. I have not checked for updates for a while, but the last time I updated there was still a problem with Shiira kicking you out of logged-in sites when you moved from page to page with in web site. This may have been fixed by now - they were aware of the problem back then.
    Camino is a native OS X cousin of Firefox and is also fast, but is not updated as often.
    I would stay away from Mozilla or Netscape unless you need all the additional modules they have and which take up hard disk space. Firefox and Camino represent the browser module of Mozilla/Netscape. Mozilla and Netscape have modules for email, irc chat, newsgroups, and for creating and editing web pages. Netscape is a branded and slightly customized version of Mozilla and is not updated as often.
    Opera is a nice browser and some use it as their main browser, but I have not seen anything that really stands out for me, but that does not mean it is not worth a look.
    I would stay away from abandonware Internet Explorer.
    As for checking for updates, several of them, as with many Mac programs, now have a menu item that allows you to check for updates. Most of them also announce their updates on both VersionTracker and MacUpdate.
    Happy Exploring.

  • Can I create a form that doesn't trigger Acrobat's JavaScript disabled / security issues warning?

    Hello,
    Can I create a pdf that doesn't trigger Acrobat's JavaScript is currently disabled and this document uses it for some features.  Enabling JavaScript can lead to potential security issues.
    I even get this error when I create a blank pdf.
    I'm not using any JavaScript in the form and the nature of the message might tend to be a bit scary to some people since it mentions enabling JS can lead to potential security issues.  I basically want to disable the messaging of a feature I'm not even using.
    Anyone know if this is possible and if so, how I go about it?
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    I too share your frustration!!
    Unfortunately I do not have a complete answer for you.
    From the start I must say that Stefan Cameron has been very helpful (http://forms.stefcameron.com/2010/01/14/acrobatreader-9-3-now-available/), however I have not had sufficient time available to deal with the issue (or find a satisfactory resolution).
    The original post that Srini shared with you related to an XFA form that had FormCalc and Javascript in it. I will now share with you another situation that is closer to your experiences.
    Sometimes where we have a complex solution/form, we often give our users a PDF with instructions and demonstrations. We generate these using Adobe products:
    LiveCycle Designer ES to generate the solution/form;
    Captivate to record the demonstration (.swf);
    Acrobat to package it up in a static PDF.
    The screen shots below are from a PDF that includes written instructions and six Flash (.swf) files. The PDF does NOT include fields/form objects and does NOT include any FormCalc or Javascript.
    One of the big sells in Acrobat 9 was that Adobe had fully integrated Flash (Adobe product, ex. Macromedia) into Acrobat 9. This mean that .swf files could run natively inside a PDF. Brilliant!!!  The website today is still pushing this message, for example:
    Now bear in mind that the following screenshots are from a PDF that does not contain any scripting - its sole purpose is to "inform" the user, "look as good as the work I put into it", incorporate instruction and "multimedia" in a "single polished file" and I should be "confident that my audience will be able to view my work exactly as intended".
    Not so!!
    When the user now opens the form, all looks OK. No warning. They can read the instructions and scroll down to the multimedia (.swf files).
    However when the user clicks on the multimedia, the yellow bar appears:
    I go through the "trust" process:
    And the PDF looks like it is OK, no yellow bar. When I click on the multimedia, it begins to play - yes!! BUT ONLY FOR A SECOND OR TWO AND THEN IT STOPS AND GOES BACK TO THE START - AGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!. I would apologise for shouting, but this is beyond frustration. The work in capturing six screencasts in Captivate, annotating them, publishing to .swf and packaging up in Acrobat has been a complete waste of time. Worse than that I now have several PDFs out there, that do not work. Good advertisement for my business? I don't think so!!
    The document that Stefan provided (Managing JavaScript Execution in the Acrobat Family of Products) does not mention Flash/.swf as being a problem. However I would recommend that you go through this document, as it may help you.
    So, where to now? I don't know. The previous posts and Stefan's responses have several urls that may help. You should maybe consider logging your experiences as a bug (log at Adobe).
    In the meantime good luck,
    Niall
    UPDATE:
    This behaviour (.swf playing for only a few seconds) happens in PDFs where the .swf is inserted as legacy media to run in earlier versions of Acrobat/Reader. In this case Acrobat/Reader is making an external call to Flash Player. Hence the yellow bar. However it does not explain why the Flash video still does not play when trusted.
    If the .swf is added into the PDF as Flash media to run on Acrobat 9 and above, then it works without displaying the yellow warning bar.
    So maybe any feature of your PDF that calls an external resource is likely to show the yellow warning bar.

  • Spoof dialog Boxes security issue

    Hi all
    Any one out there aware of this security issue with Safari
    "Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in various browser's, which can be exploited by malicious web sites to spoof dialog boxes.
    The problem is that JavaScript dialog boxes do not display or include their origin, which allows a new window to open e.g. a prompt dialog box, which appears to be from a trusted site."
    I found the above by accident as i was looking up something else.
    If you go to Secunia site and try the test you may find that you are also vulnerable.
    http://secunia.com/multiple_browser'sdialog_origin_vulnerabilitytest/
    The only way i found to stop the spoof dialog box was to turn off enable plug-ins in preferences. However i don't have any plug-ins in my Safari plug-in folder.
    I'am running safari 1.3(v312) however it would appear that it also effects version 2.2 of Safari too. Also i have installed the latest update but to no effect. Other browser effect are:-
    _ Internet Explorer for Mac
    - Internet Explorer
    - Opera
    - iCab
    - Mozilla / FireFox / Camino
    My question is, is this vulnerability true, or just a setup
    Any comments welcome.

    Hi,
    The issue is resolved, but I don't know what caused this error.
    I uninstalled the java components and BO then I deleted the BO folder under program files, then I deleted all BO entries in the registry.
    Finally I reinstalled everything except the service pack and that finally worked. I don't know the cause of this error.
