Using version 153 on Windows 11. I have never been able to activate the VPN. I have tried ALL of the suggestions on the support site, permissions, policies, customize toolbar, etc. There has never been any icon to activate. Obviously, this has been going on for months. Thanks.

Force Firefox to generate password in fields that are not explicitly labeled as password

Is there a way I can have Firefox permanently offer the option to generate a secure password? Many, many, MANY times Firefox will not recognize that a particular input field is for a password, and therefore does not offer the option to generate one. Considering everything on this forsaken planet requires creating an account now, this minor issue has become very common and annoying for me.

To reiterate: I would like Firefox to always offer to generate a password, regardless of how the input field is labeled or marked up. Thanks!

I have a small problem when saving screenshots from google AI. Almost all of the screen I rectangle is saved, but the small section which normally is printed out below the "discussion" with the AI and the enter text field suddenly appears over the other text, up circa a page and a half up from the bottom. I hope this explanation makes sense.

When I enter "windband.org" into the URL box, Firefox 153.0, 64-bit on new Windows 11 system delivers the webpage of "videncorporation.com". This does not happen if the entry is "http://windband.org". Windband.org does not have a security certificate. If the request is "windband.org/oldtowne". the webpage is properly returned.

I'm blaming the latest Firefox update from a couple of days ago, since this problem only arose yesterday. Now cut off from reading and following news that I really want to receive.

This is what I get when trying to access links within a few of the websites that I regularly access for links to articles it posts:

The site ahead may contain harmful programs

Firefox blocked this page because it might try to trick you into installing programs that harm your browsing experience (for example, by changing your homepage or showing extra ads on sites you visit).

A site I use daily for news suddenly is not activating, but told me there is an ad blocker happening via an extension. I went on privacy and security and extensions and I have not activated any extensions to block ads. This site activation was working just fine before Firefox notified me of "changes" that would not effect my settings. It obviously did. Would Zoom size be effecting the opening of this site. It's just at 100%. I have been trying Gemini to figure out the problem but so far nothing is working.

Please explain how Firefox destroys our data from an update that eliminated my bookmark toolbar and how to recover those bookmarks??

My Dell laptop with docking station and Firefox browser were working fine the evening of July 22 but on the afternoon of July 23 all my bookmarks on the toolbar were gone. I had not touched the laptop during that 16-20 hour interim. When not in use, I have my laptop off and unplugged. I also note (but cannot explain) that Mozilla has me contacting "my account" through Windows 10. I have not used Windows 10 in 3 years (or more). I have continuously used Windows 11 Pro during that time frame.

I have reviewed some of the articles and email exchanges between a volunteer and a Mozilla user whose bookmarks were also inexplicably deleted but found those exchanges confusing, Unfortunately, I'm concerned that I'll do something that further fouls up my system. Email is working fine (the new outlook) and the apps are working fine. Is there a way to recover my bookmarks toolbar? If not, please explain why. Also, since Mozilla seems to wipe out my bookmarks periodically (this is about the third time) what preventative measures are available.

Please post a response or contact David at < [redacted email from community support forum] >. Thank you to all that can help as well as those who can commiserate.
