Firefox Community Forum

I use FF on a 2012 PC running Windows10. I was going to replace the computer, but a tech shop nearby has recommended (without seeing my computer) updating the hardware within. I have a lot of passwords stored in FF, and I should like some advice regarding protecting privacy by saving them and reusing them on the refurbished computer. Any other comments about refurbishing as opposed to replacing would be welcome.

AI chatbot: Does the text I write and highlight in Firefox automatically get recorded even if the AI it is turned off?

I noticed that even if the AI is turned off, the check box for  "Show prompts on text select

Displays a shortcut to prompts when you select text. Firefox sends the text, page title, and prompt to the chatbot." is always checked and greyed out.

What gives Firefox folks of knowledge?

Completely out of the blue I cannot connect to my account at LLoyds bank because of a security problem with the bank which you describe as a connectivity issue. They say the problem lies with Firefox. Whichever I need it sorted quickly.

For over a decade, I trusted Firefox implicitly, believing in your unwavering commitment to user privacy and respect. Today, that trust was shattered when I opened my browser to find ads plastered across my homepage. This isn't just an annoyance; it's a betrayal of the very principles that drew me to your software. You've reduced yourselves to the same level as the data-hungry corporations you once stood against. It's not just disappointing—it's despicable. I will not stand by and accept this violation. Consider this my farewell, as I cannot in good conscience continue to use a product that so blatantly disregards its users. You've lost more than just a customer; you've lost the respect and loyalty of someone who once championed your cause.

Hi there! It started yesterday. I keep getting warning messages from Bitdefender that a connection Firefox was trying to establish was blocked. I will include a screenshot of the warning. I searched the link included in the warning and it comes up as a Firefox related link. I had six or seven of these warnings within the last 3 hours of using the computer and am concerned and irritated. Firefox is updated automatically on this computer and I think the last major change would have been the "cookie jar" thing(?). Obviously, the warning only says that the a certificate has expired. Thank you in advance for your help. Yours sincerely,R.

I have a notification from 'Mozilla Monitor' (breach-alerts@mozilla.com) that "Mozilla Monitor found your email in a data breach'. It then says 'Compromised data: Device information, Email addresses, IP addresses, NAmes, Passwords, Phone numbers, and Purchases'.

Is this genuine or some kind of scam?

Why did Norton block this since the latest update?

My first name is Joachim and my last name has three parts: "von zur Gathen". Small v and z, capital G. My entry in "saved names" is (correctly) Joachim von zur Gathen. But when an application calls for it, "Joachim von" is (incorrectly) provided as my first name. How do I edit my saved name so that it is displayed correctly? Yes, I know that such linguistic particularities are tricky to handle. Joachim von zur Gathen

I followed your instructions but they did not work. Specifically, I clicked on "Exceptions" after "Ask to save passwords," next to which I had clicked the box. Under exceptions, I put the URL for my bank. I clicked on "Block" and "Save Changes." Nevertheless whenever I go to my bank's log in page, it still autofills my user ID and password. (Yesterday I accidentally clicked the box when signing in to my bank's web page "Save User ID." Even though it only referred to my User ID, it now autofills both that and my password.

Also, even though there is a (non-working) Exceptions page for Saved Passwords, there is no such page for Saved User IDs.

Btw, when I used another browser to sign in to my bank's website, it did not autofill, so it's not the bank's software that is autofilling.

Thanks, Joe

I cannot open the Mozilla download page. It seems not to download anything, as I m taken to the error page (see image).

I read a support thread on the issue but I could not understand, it seems like an issue that requires previous knowledge, and I think it should be easy for old, loyal users of Mozilla to have a simple solutions for access to Mozilla site, with... Mozilla browser!

It started to happen yesterday, so far I never had such difficulty.

Thanks,
