I joined a Microsoft Teams meeting through Firefox on the web on a Linux machine. When I tried to share my entire screen, I was asked if I wanted to share the entire screen in a Firefox pop up which I said yes. Then the "you are sharing your entire screen" came up, the sharing icon was red and the "stop sharing" button was red. See attached image. This all disappeared and reverted to the default state almost instantly.

Teams has a feature to "manage what attendees see manage what attendees see" where the meeting host can preview shared content before making it live.

I am concerned that the meeting owner was able to see my entire shared screen without me even knowing it through this preview.

Can someone help? Microsoft just sends you around in circles and I can't contact Mozilla.

Hello:

I'm not certain if this question comes under Firefox or not:

How do you stop a specific computer software program-app pop-up notification (popping out from the lower right corner of your computer)?

As an example, I have a utility program, IOBIT Malware System Care that pops-up various notifications such as "update notice," "renew," "discount sale" or whatever notice or ads that is 'pushed'.

-I went to my Windows 11 list of installed app "notifications" and this program is not listed. -I tried contacting tech support but they haven't responded. -I went to Firefox 'Settings' -> Privacy & Security->Permissions and then I opened up 'Exceptions' to see if I can block something. It wants me to put in a specific website. The issue is not a website but coming within a software / app program.

So how and where do I stop a "pushed' notification? I assume it's coming in via my browser / Firefox?

Thank you in advance,

Steven

I have all options enabled to save addresses and credit cards.

When I try to manually add a credit card, hitting the Save button does nothing.

When I use a credit card on a site, Firefox prompts me to save the card, I confirm that I want to save it, yet it isn't saved.

I have telemetry (every checkbox under "Firefox Data Collection and Use") disabled, but noticed that the datareporting/archived directory contains telemetry files. Is this expected, or does this indicate a bug that shows that telemetry is being sent?

The file paths have the format:

Kính gửi đội ngũ hỗ trợ Firefox,

Tôi hiện đang sử dụng iPhone 15 và đã cài đặt phiên bản mới nhất của Firefox. Tôi cũng sử dụng VPN qua ứng dụng Secure Access, được công ty cấp chứng chỉ trên thiết bị di động.

Trước đây, khi sử dụng phiên bản Firefox cũ hơn, tôi có thể bật VPN và truy cập trang web nội bộ của công ty mà không gặp vấn đề gì. Tuy nhiên, kể từ khi cập nhật lên phiên bản Firefox mới nhất, tôi không thể truy cập trang web đó nữa. Thỉnh thoảng, Firefox hiển thị lỗi "This Connection is Untrusted", có biểu tượng "Visit site anyway", và khi tôi nhấp vào, tôi có thể vào được.

Do trang web nội bộ của công ty đang sử dụng phiên bản SSL cũ và không thể thay đổi, tôi cần tìm một giải pháp để tiếp tục sử dụng VPN và truy cập trang web nội bộ như trước đây.

Mong đội ngũ hỗ trợ Firefox giúp tôi tìm cách khắc phục vấn đề này. Trân thành cám ơn

I would be grateful for some information on container behavior, i.e. I created "permanent" (as opposed to temporary) containers for sites where I want that site's cookies & site data preserved in a container, so I can click "Clear Cookies/History" (or "Clear... when Firefox closes) and the items stored in PERMANENT containers are left alone, while all else is deleted. "Clear ...." doesn't appear to be respecting the permanent containers I have set up precisely to preserve these sites' cookies & data.

I'm not sure what the point of Permanent Containers is, if not to preserve those sites' data, for the sites' later use when you set Firefox to Clear Cookies and Site Data whenever Firefox Closes (or Clear Cookies & Site Data with one click). I expected it to respect data in Permanent containers, as exceptions. Else why not just use separate Temporary Containers for everything? Why bother with Permanent Containers if everything is going to be deleted when Firefox closes, whether it's marked "Permanent" or not? Is there a solution for this? Thanks, -AnneF

Hi,

Please tell me exactly WHAT AI, WHERE that AI is, and EXACTLY what DATA is transmitted, on an option that's enabled BY DEFAULT on Firefox.


"Use AI to suggest tabs and a name for tab groups"


And the same question for ALL other AI features.

There is ZERO transparency on this issue, and I'm mightily disgusted that you feel the need to, by default, force share the EVERY WEBSITE VISITED with a third party AI system.

At home we have a shared computer with Ubuntu and Firefox as main browser. Each family member has its own Linux user.

We use the functionality of Firefox saving passwords, however we've noticed that these passwords are visible between the Linux users. So, for instance if two of us use the same website, somehow our user/pass get are visible to each other. Is this behavior expected? How can we set FF to make the user/pass visible only to the Linux user who is using it?

Cheers
