Elements Endpoint protection Connection Control activates by itself automatically in Mozilla Firefox
Last updated
Issue:
When opening the browser, Elements Endpoint Protection Connection Control activates by itself automatically in Mozilla Firefox without the user entering a banking page. When Connection Control is active, many websites are blocked unnecessarily.
Resolution:
If Connection Control (Banking Protection) automatically activates itself when you open Mozilla Firefox, it can be because among the most visited pages in a "new tab" view there is a banking website listed. Firefox preloads these pages and it can trigger the protection.
Try to remove all banking related pages from the view when you open a new tab and then restart the browser to confirm if the issue still persists.
