Please explain in simple terms (I am not an IT wizz) how I can stop the continual popups in Firefox 128 and Thunderbird 78 on a Windows 11 OS saying “Update Available” with a Download button very easily activated by mistake.

Each time I click Dismiss, a new popup appears either immediately or very soon. The popup blocks a significant area of the screen and will not move.

I already have Update Settings on “Check for updates but let you choose to install them”. There is no option to “Do not check for updates” on these versions of Firefox and Thunderbird. I already have Windows 11 Notification Settings on “Do not disturb” and all Firefox notifications to Off.

I have found the Mozilla Support article “Customising Firefox using Group Policy” at  https://mzl.la/3bLnw2J but I do not understand it and the device I am using is not part of a group installation setup. 

There is a Step by Step guide “How to stop Firefox update notifications” on Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nD-oXxrCCRs . This is clear to follow if I pause it frequently to absorb each step carefully. Is this safe for me to try given that I am very inexperienced in using the command line and accessing registry etc?

The Thunderbird popups have only recently started up and I would value advice on how to stop these safely too. I need this version of Thunderbird at present for particular reasons related to gmail so it is important I do not accidentally activate a download on that.

Hello, I am a web developer and I love your browser very much because it is an excellent environment for developers and provides me with all my needs

Of course, I use the features of modifying the CSS on the web page for my own project, for speed, while transferring the modifications is annoying and takes up my time, so I would like to ask if there is a feature that enables me to save the modifications to the current file or the CSS file of the page.

I hope that this feature will be added

The Firefox Sync system is really neat for keeping our booksmarks synced across devices, but what I would also love to see is the option to sync all settings as well, including the changes made in the "about:config" settings.

Across my years of browsing I changed quite a lot of small little things and having to track all of those down every time I set up a new device or reinstall windows can get a bit tedious, so I was wondering if those settings can also be included in the Sync settings somehow - or if such a feature might be planned for the future?

I have no way to log in to my google accounts right now. On any google site, if I hit log-in it redirects me to this page:

https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/32050?hl=en

I've tried clearing my cache and cookies. My firefox browser is up to date. I tried disabling ad blocker and cookie auto-delete. Javascript is enabled and I even tried turning on that feature that prevents page redirects. I'm truly at a loss for what to do.

I read this German article:

Firefox 128 liefert per Default Daten für Werbetreibende

Mozilla lässt eine neue Technologie für "datenschutzfreundliche digitale Werbung" in den Firefox einziehen. Die Aktivierung erfolgt ohne Einwilligung der Nutzer.

Which means Firefox 128 Delivers per-default Data for Advert agencies. Mozilla allows a new technology for "Date protection friendly digit Advertising" on Firefox. The activation is without permission from the user.

This is not good at all. I am now thinking of rejecting Fierfoy and moving to Opera or similar. Why did Morzilla take this fatal step?

I use Amazon very frequently. Because I had a small problem yesterday I noticed there was a login name on my browser, which comes up automatically when I open Amazon. I have my normal login name using my email address, as well as my wife's email address for her login if she uses my machine. As well as those two there is also my old login with my previous email address and another which I do not recognize. I have tried clearing cache but that does not get rid of it. How do I remove the ones I do not want? I have another similar and related question. Whenever I fill out a form on the web, it automatically tries to enter the data for me. This used to be great and saved a lot of time and typing. However we mover from Florida to Illinois last year and Firefox is still loading my old Florida data. I then have to delete it and enter the current addresses etc. How do I get this brought up to date with my current address please?

Why do I have to enter my logins and passwords for my MSN, Outlook, Yahoo and myyahoo everytime I start up firefox? It is getting very annoying.

Is Mozilla Firefox truly compatible with Windows 10 anMSN, Outlook, Yahoo, my yahoo and Malwarebytes?

Please, PLEASE help! I've been trying for a week to log in to Google for my email, etc. with NO luck (I have Windows 10 and Firefox as my default browser). I've tried all three steps in Google's prompt-menu but no luck. PLEASE help, and SOON!

Hi, good afternoon  :-) this is something that comes and goes, but it bugs me as I don't understand it. There is sometimes a symbol that resembles a letter or paper with a notch and other times your logo, as it is meant to be. I am asking because...virus?  :-(

Hello, I beg you to help me. I love firefox, I've been using this browser since my first time since I had. So I am REALLY old user, I think it's almost 10 years. So I had no idea about your rules about keys and if I restet my password all of my synchronization will be gone. I am using the same device that I had for 4 years, but I did a factory reset. Please take my data, I don't care about privacy and everything I just want to get my passwords and bookmarks that I had for almost 10 years. I beg you. You are my only hope to restore it. Please. I had so many passwords synch on my firefox account. I dont have any physical copy of those passwords. If they are gone I don't know what to do. Please help me.

After re-installing Firefox, when logging in Firefox redirects homepage via some website not identified as the homepage website. Clicking on Firefox homepage icon results in: Click on homepage icon results in https://ww01.bestinternetaccess.com/?dn=bestinternetaccess.com&enc_lnk=dGVx%2FWjzvrTAKEUsrpUDW14g%2BKS2DvNZiBNn56w5HwocUGMh8DeEpVNcFN1lBDPG&enc_txt=bNceErLP%2BB%2BEXC773n1LdXSWPc5%2FA%2B%2Fg6QR%2B9XABNRJszMW5qKTiBuRgDVnkYF0%2BVf1PPu%2FvZJWZbDXmVu2VOoI18B29YtI%2F%2BP%2B7wwWrft9Q45e28hA7IxX0bA0geFfn&pbsubid=f0afada4-f117-4015-b81b-da4435c87df4&pid=9POT3387I Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

After the recent update, I am unable to access some websites which did not previously have problems. One particular site: Costco.com Have no problem with site using Chrome (dislike!). Fault is not at Costco end.

Thank you

I have been trying to re-establish my email Yahoo account without success for over the last ten days after downloading Firefox as my browser. None of my previous passwords are accepted. I am in despair as I am in my late eighties and relatively house-bound and in two days time will have to get a repeat prescription from the pharmacist. I do not have a smart phone and as I am deaf a mobile phone is not an option. Please help me to get reconnected as soon as possible. Alan Frost [ [edited] @yahoo.co.uk] OBVIOUSLY YOU CANNOT EMAIL ME.

I recently got a new computer, Apple iMac. I'm trying to transfer all my bookmarks I have on my older HP computer to the newer computer Apple. I downloaded the Firefox browser to the iMac. I see where there is a link to transfer bookmarks when I loaded the browser. But, when I click on the link, nothing really happens? There is no transfer of my bookmarks for my old computer to the newer computer. My OS with my older HP was Windows 7. My OS with my acquired Apple is Monterey. Can someone be of help with transferring bookmarks from one computer to another? I have many bookmarks so it would be very helpful to be able to make that transfer. Thank you.

When I receive an email from a facebook source, Fierfox says it cannot open the [age. It used to open the same messages in the past. How do I get Firefox to open these?
