Why didn't EDITH recognise Mysterio and inform Peter?
In Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019), Peter transfers E.D.I.T.H. to Quentin Beck.
But why didn’t E.D.I.T.H. recognise Quentin, who was a former employee under Tony Stark?
So why didn’t E.D.I.T.H. inform Peter that Mysterio is actually a former Stark industries employee who was fired by Stark and not some guy from another Earth?
Best Answer
Peter Never Asked
Its been a little while since I watched Far From Home, but I can't recall any instance where EDITH volunteered information without Peter (or Beck) directly asking for it. EDITH isn't a Jarvis-level AI, it doesn't have the intuition to listen and understand the context well enough to know that a ruse is in the works.
If Peter had ever asked EDITH to search for facial recognition matches on Beck, he almost certainly would have been presented with Beck's Stark Employee persona, although, as @Paulie_D points out, they may have just chalked it up to multi-dimensional trickery

Why did Peter did not use Edith in no way home?
It straight up says that EDITH was confiscated from Peter. In fact, since the drones came from Stark Industries, any relevant materials have been taken from the company as well, with them also being under investigation.Did Mysterio reveal Peters identity?
In a mid-credits scene in the film, antagonist Mysterio brings down Spider-Man's world by revealing Peter's secret identity. It was a major change for a series that until now has created significant tension through Peter's attempts to hide who he is, in order to protect the people he cares about.Does Peter get Edith back from Mysterio?
When Parker finally confronted Beck, Beck ordered E.D.I.T.H. to fire all of the drones, with her protesting that he was in the firing line. Eventually, after defeating Mysterio's illusions, Parker took the glasses and was welcomed back by E.D.I.T.H.Why Didn't You Stop Me?

Why didn't EDITH recognise Quentin, who was a former employee under Tony Stark?
We don't know...
However, your question assumes that EDITH had access to this information. Insofar as EDITH was intended for Peter's use there's no particular reason why she should have lists of ex-employees on hand. There must be some limits to the amount of information she has on hand.
Why didn't EDITH inform Peter that Mysterio is actually a former Stark industries employee who was fired by Stark and not some guy from another Earth?
Given the above and even assuming that she did recognise Beck he's supposedly from another Earth.
There's no reason why there couldn't be a Quentin Beck on this Earth AND another (Mysterio) on another Earth.
So even if she did recognise him, he has an easy explanation that he's a DIFFERENT Quentin Beck.
