Good day, folks!

I mistakenly posted this query to the Thunderbird forum. It is a Firefox extension issue. [Sigh]

For over a week, the WIKI2 extension has not been working in Firefox on Linux Mint 22.3. "Normal" operation (when it's working) is for a link clicked to a Wikipedia page to be automatically re-directed to the WIKI2 rendering of that page. This no longer happens.

Further, I receive this when trying to access their web site: Sorry, you have been blocked You are unable to access wiki2.org

Experience has taught me, when something that has been working flawlessly suddenly stops working, to ask, "Is it me, or is it you?" I'm not about to start twisting dials to fix a problem that is on their end.

Has anyone here experienced this same recent behavior with the WIKI2 extension?

If so, I'll leave it alone until the problem is fixed on their site.

Thanks in advance,

- Ralph

I'm using Firefox from the official Ubuntu repository (packages.mozilla.org). I have used the (very cool) "translate page" feature successfully, but for some reason it doesn't seem to work on https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/NL:Basisregistratie_Adressen_en_Gebouwen which I'd like translated to English. Even though Firefox thinks the page was translated, only one of the headings seems to be in English.

I would like to understand how to troubleshoot this and help you improve this great feature. Thank you in advance.

Hi,

The Mozilla VPN seems to have a hard time with the wired connection (or rather the opposite). As soon as the VPN is on, the connection stops working. The VPN do not recognize the wired connection, either.

There doesn't seem to be a mention of Ethernet connection anywhere in the FAQs.

Question: is the Mozilla VPN compatible with a wired connection?

Thank you!

How to keep the browser from messing with the language of websites?

I speak more than one language and want to have transparency and control of the content. Therefore I always want to see any website in it's native language first.

My preferred situation then would be to have a menu in the tab where I may choose a translation. In the case of a multi-lingual site I want to have those languages as additional options on top - with an indicator for the sites default language. So I may first choose the sites language, then (possibly) into which that is translated into.

But at present I can use only the settings of preferred language for multi-lingual sites, never knowing what language was the base for the content. (Presumably the most accurate content of the website.) And I can add languages for translation and sort them, while - weirdly - I cannot delete them later as there's no control element for getting rid of (maybe accidentally) downloaded ones.

Is there a solution already? Did I miss something in the settings? And: Where is the „translation panel“ to which the settings „Translations - More translation settings“ refer to in the block „Never translate these sites“?

Everytime I restart and open firefox and then try to access facebook, sometimes google, n=some news websites and probably other apps, I get a captcha, but it repeats no matter how many times I get it right.

I was advised to do this, but it's still happening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fX0_wiVKhw

But even that's stopped working.

I cannot access facebook and I need it for work (small org, no IT section to ask), and can't access some new sites.

I've gone to basic security settings, but that doesn't help.

What to do?

My primary password was change on June 16, 2026. I did not initiate the change, nor have information about the new password. I have recovery keys I would like to try. I am not certain whether when the password was changed the recovery keys were as well.

The first step in support instructions is to click >forgot password< button at sign it. There is no such button.
