Hello,

I have all the the telemetry collection options disabled in "about:preferences#privacy". However, I've observed that my browser is still connecting to "incoming.telemetry.mozilla.org".

Any idea what this is about? Is there another setting somewhere I need to disable, to prevent it? Or is data being sent despite my explicit request?

Thank you!

Hi all,

with FF 130 on Windows 10, I'm encountering an issue that pops up spuriuosly during the last years. After playing video/audio content, the browser fails to release the audio streaming device, thus preventing the computer to go into sleep mode.

When I restart FF, the stream is released This has happened for other users on previous versions, but seems to have been fixed in more recent releases. But now the issue is back - at least for me.

Any hints or workarounds?

Since this morning I cannot access Lastpass vault in Firefox. I still seem to be signed in and Lastpass is filling password forms. But when I go to the vault I just get a blank screen. It continued to work ok on chrome but I use FF for most of my everyday browsing. I believe that FF was just updated yesterday.

Hi guys,

I have a dev (wannabe, im guessing) hacking and mounting root on my devices. At the moment hes using the web tools to sandbox communication, downgrade safety and write indexes (hes up to 22000) for Firefox.

Its probably just an AI bot. But how do i stop it? It becoming scary now as I know hes been through my wallets etc

I am on MacOS Monterey running Firefox 130.0. Tonight, I restarted my Mac. Upon startup, Firefox offered to restore my session, as always, but it did not restore everything. In fact, I had one window open that had many tabs (some important) and that is gone.

I'm a bit puzzled and I wonder if I've found a bug?

I've set firefox not to save files but it keeps on saving them. I have tried all the setting so it will stop doing this with no success. It just keeps filling up my downloads folder and I have to search for the one or two documents I want.

It's got so bad I've had to stop using firefox.

Thanks Reg

When I receive an email in Outlook that contains a hyperlink, I am unable to use it. When I click onthe link, Firefox opens a new Window (even when one is already running). The only tab on the new window is my default tab. The original hyperlink does not open. (Windows 11 and Firefox all up to date).

1) It is fine if I use Edge or Chrome as my default browser. 2) I have disabled all add-ons, and restarted (and rebooted) Firefox. Same result.

I have searched the community/known issues atc but none seem to specifically show this sort of behaviour.

TY

Using Firefox for windows. Have browser set to never save patient's addresses. After clearing cache/cookies on 9/4/24, Firefox is now asking to save addresses. The box to do so remains unchecked. Cleared saved data again, restarted computer and Firefox. Still asks. Do not want to save addresses for every patient payment entered. It is a HIPAA violation waiting to happen. Not to mention, the constant pop-up asking to save is a distraction from accurate patient care & data entry.

I experience a problem with the BBC.co.uk/Sport/football, various tab offshoots eg: "Gossip". The problem is that the requested page incessantly switches between Portrait and Landscape.

I'm using Windows 11 on a desktop

I keep getting these annoying "ads by Google" banners on the bottom of my screen. How do I make them go away permanently? Can I do this through Firefox settings or do I need to install a separate popup blocker?

There is no option to pin it to the toolbar. This is a new install of Firefox on a "new to me" computer running Win11Pro. It was there on my old computer. I'm stumped. Thanks.

Firefox freezing when trying to get text for authentication on sites. Just started after this mornings update on Firefox!!! Anybody else? Have to turn off/on laptop to get it to work again
