Firefox Community Forum

Is it possible to make a donation to Mozilla without providing so much personal information? I got a message on Firefox today asking for a donation, but when I tried to do that, I was asked for my home address. It's a general rule of internet marketing that people who use the internet would rather do anything than pay for something, so it's bad psychology to impose unnecessary conditions when you're asking for a donation. I don't have to provide my home address when I make donations to other organisations, so why does Mozilla need my home address? I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask this question, but I can't find anywhere else to ask it!

Thanks,

Shaun.

OK when I restart firefox, or have been using it for a while, I might decide that I'd like to close a TAB or maybe even a heap of them.

Trouble is that someone has decided that when people close a TAB, the one to the right, automatically reloads.

I don't want to reload a TAB I am not currently using, I just want to close the TAB or TABS, that I am no longer using.

Stop doing this really retarded "Oh we think this is a good idea to automate things - you don't want, don't need and have not asked for, with the typical NO choose to switch it on, and NO off switch".

Seriously provide the option to turn this function on, and to turn it off.

AND up till the day this never happens, is there a switch in the about:config to turn this highly undesirable and useless function off?

A month ago I downloaded Linux Ubuntu 24.04.3 onto my Microsoft Surface Pro. Was never able to get the touch screen to work, but, the printer worked fine. After the recent Firefox update, however, I am unable to print. The preview page does not load. Not tech savvy, here, definitely not an administrator. How do I fix this? Thanks for any help.

Only on firefox, the music on apple music keeps changing volume. I can hear it sound fine for a second but then it changes the volume to around half of what its meant to be. I dont see any settings to change it, its fine on other browsers, im genuinely unsure of what to do.

I am using version 88.0 and browser, both outdated and not supported. How do I update to current version and update browser? I am 80 yrs old and not computer literate, please keep it simple. Also, I am alone, not help available. Thank you

Hello if i enter proxy and ip address in firefox in Manual proxy configuration section then when i open a website its asks for username and password my question is can proxy owner see my data and i am using https websites like post data ?

Whenever i search something on google, firefox desktop (all fine on android) is failing to display the ai(gemini) answer no matter what questions i ask.

Same happens in the "AI Mode" option that is available in google's recent update.

And, I,m logged in.

This started since a week, everything was working fine before that.

Adding the images below.

Hello, I'm using Firefox on Linux Mint. All of my homepage shortcuts have disappeared without the option to add them back. I tried toggling the shortcuts option on and off and nothing happens. Nothing also happens when checking and unchecking the sponsored shortcuts setting.

Hello,

how can i disable firefox usage hints like "Try tab groups for less clutter, more focus"?. It opens up if i open up a certain amount of tabs. Is there anything i can disable in about:config?

Thank you.

Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to nrega.nic.in because this website requires a secure connection.

What can you do about it?

nrega.nic.in has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.

Probably nothing, since it’s likely there’s a problem with the site itself.

After recent update, I can not browse any addons. The site https://addons.mozilla.org does not open, shows the connection timed out. I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox deleteting all firefox related files. The problem still persists. Other than this all the using browsing I do are all working fine. Just this extensions I cannot browse. When I click the extension icon by default it shows some extensions, I can Install them. The problem is I can not browse them. Even the recomendation tab is also empty.

PS: I am using firefox on manjaro linux.

I just installed Linux Mint. I am new to Linux. Firefox came with it. In the Firefox help/about, I see that updates have been disabled by your organization. I am just a single user. There should bot be any enterprise policy applicable. Why did I get this and how to get rid of it?

Any help appreciated.

I can't find the adjustment for my screen size. It's overrunning all the edges of my monitor making it impossible to see my panel on top and bottom. Is it in my computer or is it firefox?
