I asked AI: "I'm being prevented from using options which cause pop ups but I don't think I've deliberately changed any settings. I want to use "analyze the board" on the Gameknot website but I'm being prevented from using it. How can I get it back?" I followed the instructions: "Mozilla Firefox: Click the three lines (top right) > Settings > Privacy & Security > Permissions. Go to the "Pop-up windows" section and click Exceptions, then add https://gameknot.com" but I haven't re-acquired use of the pop up I ant to continue working. I want it back and its extremely irritating as the work around is very long and boring.

Iam getting statements saying someone living in same town as I getting on my account with a Linux or android what is Linux representing and when they say android with one ?? I have 3 different thing's i use but I never use a computer. Lap top or desk type???.

"Recent changes in how some corporate web sites react to FireFox such as not show the header menues and other function reduction in the last three weeks. YET Chrome and google still function like normal. Is this an attack on Linux supported browsers? " I contacted United Health Care (UHC) regarding their menu disappearance and treated it like error on my end until I discussed doing their recommend fixes and the only ones that worked are going to other Google or Micro-Soft supported browsers. FireFox was working fine until three weeks ago. What's up, is it FireFox or UHC?

My Dell Precision Laptop from 2019 runs a frequently updated Ubuntu 24.04. About one or two weeks ago, after one of the latest Firefox updates, i noticed that video streaming produces rectangular flickering in rapid sweeps. ( Also fast scrolling large text websites produces similar flickering, I think I would have noticed it before...) . If you detected it once, you see it always again... :-( First I fiddled around with the nvidia settings because the driver was also recently updated, without much success. Playing locally stored videos, e.g. with VLC media player, still works fine, so the nvidia driver is not the problem i think. Yesterday I installed Chromium and the video performance is fine! As good as with firefox some weeks ago! So it must be one of the latest updates, that causes the problem. Generally I like firefox more than chromium. I like the control you have, e.g. via Add ons.. So I hope that the firefox performance will increase again... Thank you for firefox! Florian Mengedoht

It is very annoying to not be able to have acces to my scholarship, my accommodation, or just my whole student services in general even if they are websites from the french government. I cannot bypass the mozilla security risk warning so I'm asking for some help here. the website is https://messervices.etudiant.gouv.fr/

it would be a great update to be able to go past the warnings in the future, being unable to do so forces users to switch of browser, especially when you cannot have acces to such websites which are essential for students

I sent an email a few days ago asking for a refund and a few hours later changed my mind, I couldn't cancel the ticket (as far as I know) so I sent a follow up email to disregard the first email because I thought it would just be more hassle and I think the VPN works fine anyway. Today I get an email saying my subscription had been cancelled! which I could understand is my fault for being indecisive in the first place and the last email I sent might not of been read in time, but the email that I had received also didn't state I would get a refund and seemed like an email I would get if I had cancelled my subscription myself stating "We’ve cancelled your Mozilla VPN subscription. Your final payment of US$59.88 was paid on 14/07/2026" Should I still expect to get a refund or was there an error with my request?

I usually watch videos on Firefox on Stan - https://www.stan.com.au/account/login - with no problem on Debian. Just wondering if this is a fault with Firefox on FreeBSD, so I know where to go looking for the problem. Other outlets have sub par performance, also, such as YouTube, where the video comes up but plays like it's operating at one frame/5 seconds, with no sound. Thanking you for any time and trouble.

How do I get to - "Usernames and passwords are not saved" ? ? - it does Not say - Passwords in settings - so how do I get there ? I need to SAVE my gmail log in password so I don't have to keep typing it in to OPEN gmail and to subscribe to videos  ! BandOfLife@gmail.com July 19 2026

Using the "re-open tab" function on a browser based discord instance changed a bunch of my settings, for one it turned on vertical tabs, added extra side bars to everything, and made every ui element animated. Ive figured out of how turn vertical tabs back off, and while I was writing this, I figured out where to turn off this stupid animated gizmo to select what I actually want, instead of directly bringing up my bookmarks/history. How do I stop a random website from overriding my settings in the future? If discord can do it through incompetence another website can surely do it maliciously and I really dont fancy this happening again. The "best" (and completely unrelated) I've found on how to undo this, let alone prevent it from happening again is pressing esc or f11 because of course everything these days has to drown in AI slop :/

Clearing history when Firefox closes is a security issue that should be kept as clearing history manually after every log in is unnecessary which is why it was part of firefox settings, I would really appreciate less bloatware and keeping what I always used in settings. Omitting clearing history when firefox closes is a breach of security not an added security. Thank you, P.S. Please consider changes carefully before you make them or you may wind up with more of what isn't wanted or needed and less of what is wanted and needed.

Hi.

I'm having trouble with https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/linux-security-warning?as=u&utm_source=inproduct#firefox:linux:fx140.

It assumes the installation is at "/home/<USER>/bin/firefox/{firefox,firefox-bin,updater}" but mine is "/home/<USER>/.local/share/torbrowser/tbb/x86_64/tor-browser/Browser/firefox.real".

How exactly do I edit the line?

(Latest Ubuntu. I also have Librewolf and Firefox, but didn't see the warning as on Tor.)
