There's a #firefox channel on the MacAdmins slack which features ESR
discussions, and Mike Kaply is active there. Although it's called
MacAdmins, Windows discussion is fine too.

Of course Java Web Start won't be included in Java 11 and later.

[Mozilla Enterprise] firefox process left behind on MacOS

[James Andrewartha]

Hi,

Has anyone seen a firefox process (not capitalised) being left behind on
MacOS after the main application has quit? I've just seen it on two
MacBook Pros eating up 65% CPU. We've recently upgraded to Firefox
60.0.2 from 53 or so.

Thanks,

Something I ran into is that if you do lock it, users then can't choose
what happens when Firefox starts (home page/blank page/windows and tabs
from last time) - it's forced into home page and you then have to select
"Restore previous session" from the menu. Which was a brown pants moment
(also about:sessionrestore was blank), I even downgraded to FF52 to make
sure my session was still there, then upgraded and thought to look for a
menu item.

Generally it's done because certain accounts will have SSO enabled on
them, so the service a) needs to know which SSO service to direct the
user to based on their domain b) doesn't know the password anyway.

Absolutely. If Mozilla doesn't change their policy, I'll see if we can
archive all of addons.mozilla.org for the Internet Archive.

I'd also be interested if people could try with Firefox 55, there have
been some big performance improvements that have landed there (with more
to come in 56 and 57): https://ehsanakhgari.org/tag/quantumflow
Personally I'm looking forward to better session restore times
https://metafluff.com/2017/07/21/i-am-a-tab-hoarder/

Note that v55 has backwards-incompatible profile changes, so use a fresh
profile for testing.

Re: [Mozilla Enterprise] whitelist for "unsecure connection" password prompt

Maybe - some IMMs only allow signing a CSR they create, rather than
being able to upload a private key and certificate (I'm reasonably sure
that's the case for IBM/Lenovo xSeries IMM). Most wildcards will only
allow a single key which would mean you could only sign a single IMM.

DigiCert is an exception, you can re-issue the cert as many times as you
want against different keys (and with different SANs), however you're
looking at $500/year for one of those. For us, it was worth it, and
their customer service is very good.

Wildcard certificates are under $100/year:

I think there are two separate issues.  One where its slow to connect and 
another where it just never connects (mostly seen in the latest 52.1 ESR).

I never thought much about it, but, I've noticed a random freeze up a couple 
times a day that lasts about 30 seconds or so.  I'm currently using ESR 45.8.0, 
so I don't think it's anything new that just showed up in 52x.  On the other 
had, I haven't tested any of the ESR 52 branch so what I'm noticing may be a 
different issue.

The only way to resolve it is to close the window, monitor the Firefox

window) and then restarting Firefox.  It’s weird.

I’ve been seeing similar issues that Bob reported below as well but have been

Hi,

I have had a number of my users report endless whirly progress indicators both 
with ESR and non-ESR installation of Firefox v52+. So far quitting all 
instances of Firefox resolves the issue but only temporarily. The issue was not 
evident in V51-.

I downloaded the win32 version from the link below but I do not know how
to tell if I am using the version it says it is?  Either way I am still
having issues on my own machine with this build, I have not pushed it
out to everyone else.

I believe that Firefox will cache intermediate certificates, so if you
visit a correctly-configured HTTPS site that uses the same chain, visits
to a incorrectly-configured site will work.
