Hi Firefox, thanks for a great browser.

Could you please help unlocking the account for [REDACTED BY MODERATOR]

I was busy logging in to Firefox (today's update) using my account and wished to store my login info, but the link upon login was a long useless address specific to the post-login screen and related to adding more devices. I opened a new tab but this was, apparently, a sticky login and the new tab was logged in as well. I logged out of that tab with the obvious (hindsight) effect of interrupting the previous tab/s.

Long story short, the immediate effect was the message in the subject line of this mail. Firefox locked my account and I need it unlocked.

Thanks for your trouble. Kind regards Jacques

Okay, this is a weird one. I have been streaming the video feed from a .tv site for several years (I like to chat and discuss episodes with other watchers). Last night, the feed wouldn't load; I thought this may have been some slowness in my internet connection, so I shut my Windows laptop down and went to bed. I got up this morning and logged in, and the feed was doing the same thing (loading bar; three dots cycling over and over). I checked if there were any new updates for Firefox (there were not), and likewise any changes to the Windows codecs (all files are current). The rest of the browser (other open tabs) are working normally. Cleared the cache - same result. The feed was playing normally for the other site viewers, as I could see them commenting on the episodes that were currently playing. I then checked if I could access the .tv site via a different browser (MS Edge...ugh); and the site loaded and played normally. I checked it on my phone's browser; site played like it usually does. Hmmm... I then opened Firefox Private Browsing, typed in the site... and it's playing normally. Still nothing on my usual browser. Any Ideas?

Firefox on Windows 11 now runs at 100% and a stack of ram. Obviously this slows down my PC and this is only on the home page with nothing to look at. This makes it unuseable. Tried help pages - no use at all. Why am I asking an unknown instead of Mozilla? To big for their boots?

I have the option set to always ask me if I want to open a pdf with browser, acrobat, or to download. I usually select open with Acrobat and, for the last few months, I have been getting an unwanted download as well. I found in the help articles that this is now the default action. For me, it usually means that at the end of a session i have to go to my desktop (my optioned destination for downloads) and clean it up by deleting every file I have looked at.

I recommend that you make that functionality optional. I just want to view the vast majority of things I open. For the few that I might want to download after viewing them, i would prefer to take a proactive step to download them after I have reviewed them.

Hi, I'm running Firefox 110.0.1 on a linux machine and since installing cookie autodelete I have noticed that the web site yts.mx keeps reseting its cookie, a PHPSession cookie, even though I only visited the site once and that was a week ago. Also a few minutes after starting firefox yts.mx shows up on the about:network#http page of firefox and I'm guessing this is when the cookie gets set.

I can't find any information about about:network#http but there seem to be a lot of web sites listed that I don't visit. What does this page display?

I have tried removing all entries referencing yts.mx in my history. I have searched all non binary files in my profile directory for any reference to yts.mx. The only one thats comes up is in a file called AlternativeServices.txt and I have deleted the reference in that file numerous times and it keeps coming back.

I have also tried deleting the startup cache.

Any ideas apart from resetting firefox to stop this site from setting cookies when I haven't visited it?

Thanks.
