Firefox Community Forum

I submitted a bug last to Bugzilla last Sep. that seems not yet to be assigned to anyone, and a bug two days ago that wasn't acknowledged. Is the Bugzilla site working? Should I be doing something else to report the bug?

Hello everyone,

I would like to ask for clarification regarding the distribution of Firefox through third-party packaging methods.

As I understand it, Mozilla's trademarks and branding are protected, and in some cases official permission may be required to distribute Firefox under the Firefox name and branding.

Within the Ubuntu Touch community, there is a method called "Crackle" that can repackage existing applications and make them available as installable "Clickable" packages on the platform. One of the applications that has been repackaged in this way is Firefox.

However, this Firefox package is currently not available in the Ubuntu Touch software store because there is concern that distributing it may require explicit permission from Mozilla.

My question is therefore:

Does a project or community need Mozilla's permission to distribute a repackaged version of Firefox through a software store? If so, what would be the correct process for obtaining such permission? Alternatively, if the software is merely being repackaged to provide an installation method on another platform, without modifying Firefox itself, is additional permission still required?

We would appreciate any clarification regarding Mozilla's policies on redistribution, repackaging, and trademark usage in this context.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Most other forums don't impose this type of limited categorization. What is the best way to proceed here when you topic here doesn't have an obvious fit? This is not uncommon. Should I be concerned that my question won't get to the right eyes/assistance needed?

Some venues offer the ability to add tags. Why not give us the ability to add "tags" if you believe some sort of pre-designation is necessary? Does that qualify for my choosing this topic?

How about "other"?

I couldn't find a place to discuss topics regarding Bugzilla itself, so I'm looking in this community. If there's a better place, please tell me.

Why the hell does Bugzilla show my private e-mail address publicly (see screenshot)? That's not normal. No other online service (like Google, Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, GitHub, Microsoft, etc.) publicly shows my private e-mail address that is associated with my account. How can I disable that?

If there's actually no way to disable that, I think Bugzilla is even more trash than I already thought it is. In my opinion that's standard and it should be supported, just like on any other platform on the internet. I don't like Bugzilla because it doesn't look as clear and modern as GitHub or GitLab, has a worse text/markdown editor and it seems to be lacking some useful features. It's good that Mozilla creates some competition to big tech companies but it's also valid to criticize their products if they are simply worse (which is disappointing but nonetheless, it's true sometimes).

When I go to see a firefox bug such as the following, https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2026-10/

There appears to be more details in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2014390 located at the bottom. When I try to view the details it asks me to log in. I do not see any reason I should have to log in to view the issue as I only intend to view the bug. Why does it require a login ?

Hello, Microsoft Defender apparently detected a trojan, located in the folders for the Firefox extension Malwarebytes Browserguard Trojan description: Trojan:Win32/Nibtse.c!tsk

Is this a false positive?

I got an email that my subscription for Mozilla VPN has been cancelled a month from now. I wonder why? On the "What’s New | Firefox 151" page the new free VPN service is announced. Does it have anything to do with that? Not yet in my region (Sweden) though. Kind regards, Monika Ivarsson

‘Storage: I'm using 105 GB of 245 GB available in my Mac Tahoe 26.5... but Google says I'm out of storage. How do I get to use the unused storage so I don't have to buy what I don't need? Thanks.’ for ‘Firefox for iOS’

When I start VPN, it brings me to a page to choose a subscription, but I have a yearly subscription paid in November 2025. Then my Mozilla account says I am logged on but when I click on the application icon I get a circular icon in the window with a cancel button underneath it. See attachment.

Heya,

I am the maintainer of the British Dictionary.

For one year that I have been working in the "shadows" on my version of US+Canada+Australian, to be released on 1-JAN-2026.

Can I add your list of proper names (~5000 words) to my dictionaries and release the dictionaries as LGPL?

Thank you!

Why do I need to post my question on a forum and wait for some random internet user to answer. Why can I not ask a question of the company when their product is not functioning properly? This is really really disappointing.

You installed without my permission the Microsoft web app. That is spyware that has cost you this user. I will uninstall Firefox, tell everyone I know what you 'security-minded' liars are really doing to us. I belong to a gaming club with hundreds of members and by tonight they will all know not to trust Firefox. You really have some nerve teaming up with that nasty organization. Before this day is out all my contacts on all my social media sites will know what you are doing. I have a $3,000 rig that you jeopardized.

I have been using your browsers for years. No longer. Any time I can bad mouth you I will. You can take that to the bank.
