i typed this out in another threads comment, but it was marked "solved" and wasn't updated so im posting my own thread question.


I also frequently have issues loading pages when i have all the enhanced privacy protection settings enabled to prevent tracking on firefox focus. It seems to break websites that use lots of javascript and tracking/fingerprinting. So how can I have these privacy settings turned on but still load pages ???

Cuz right now I just have to turn all the privacy protections off to load some pages, which is annoying and kinda defeats the purpose of Firefox Focus for me, because I use it as my alt quick search browser for things i don't need to save or open more than 10 tabs with, and i also want to be private by default and still be able to load pages.

I don't have a specific example right now but I can definitely say that news sites like CNN, NYT, etc that have lots of tracking/ads/javascript are not usable. and turning off privacy settings just to read some articles is not good. I want more options than just rawdogging javascript/tracking sites without protection to get it to load.

Also sites that require cookies to be enabled completely refuse to load and show an error. So how can I solve these problems without turning off all privacy settings??


or what are the steps to take when a page breaks and can't load bc of no cookies enabled or one of the enhanced privacy settings conflicting with the page loading? is there a gradually change settings order to do that will allow the page to load without sacrificing all of privacy?

Thanks in advance and sorry for hijacking this thread. I will copy my text and submit my own issue. I am also thinking about becoming a contributor and this answer would be very very valuable to help others bc i know this is a big issue and some clarity on it would go a long way in marketing focus as a great lightweight privacy focused browser that doesn't break most pages....when theres no easy/obvious solution then people tend to abandon using it....

I occasionally use Firefox Focus (Klar) on my Fairphone 6 running E/OS.

Today, I noticed the following notification for the first time: Download-Manager Additional files for the Firefox Klar browser

I’ve never noticed this before. Any idea what’s being downloaded?

FYI: E/OS is using com.android.providers.downloads v15 as download manager
