Hello,

I am building a browser automation tool using Firefox Developer Edition. Recently, I started running into an issue where an "Agree to Terms" (or Privacy/Welcome) popup appears when the browser launches.

Because this is an automated environment, this popup blocks my scripts from running properly because human interaction is required to click past it.

My Setup:

Browser: Firefox Developer Edition (latest version)

Use case: Automated testing/scripting

What I am trying to achieve: I need to know how to stop this popup from appearing entirely, or how to automatically agree to it. Are there specific command-line flags (similar to Chrome's startup flags) or about:config profile preferences I can inject when launching the browser to bypass this?

I have attached a screenshot of the exact popup I am seeing.

Any advice on the exact flags or preferences needed to silence this for automation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi! I didn't set up a passkey on PayPal Business and the best that PayPal can figure, it was done by Firefox. I don't have the PIN for this passkey and I can't set-up another passkey because my account "already has a passkey". I can't change the passkey PIN because I don't know the PIN. I'd like to know:

• Why would Firefox set up a passkey on PayPal business for me? ( I think that should be my decision, thank you very much.)
• Given that one was "set-up" for me; where is the passkey hidden? Any clues on that?
• Is there anyway to get Firefox to undo the passkey (or tell me the PIN) that I didn't request so I don't have to switch to Edge just to go to PayPal Business. It's ridiculous!
• Has this happened to anyone else or has anyone heard of this.

The work around that PayPal recommended is that I go to PayPal from another browser. I always use Firefox and sort of resent having to switch browsers for this reason just for this account. From Microsoft Edge and I can go to my PayPal business account and just sign in with my password and there is no request for a passkey PIN. I'm not setting up a passkey at this point, which would only be wrong if I use Firefox to log on. So I'll stick with switching to Edge for the time being! Maybe someone can give me a clue.

PS: I tried to get a screenshot of the pop-up related to this issue that says "requested by Firefox" but I wasn't allowed to get a screenshot from there.

I got an email that my subscription for Mozilla VPN has been cancelled a month from now. I wonder why? On the "What’s New | Firefox 151" page the new free VPN service is announced. Does it have anything to do with that? Not yet in my region (Sweden) though. Kind regards, Monika Ivarsson

I have an older Mac desktop. I received a message on my gmail acocunt that my browser is no longer supported. I found that Firefox will support Big Sur 11.7.11 so I downloaded it. I am older and not tech savvy. Went to "what is my browser.com" and it shows I still have Safari?

Where did I go wrong?

This what you said: "Today we’re introducing a free built-in VPN in Firefox, a new IP-protection feature designed to keep you even more private while you browse. We’re starting by offering an industry-leading 50 gigabytes of free VPN-browsing each month." But all I see are the paid options. I want to try before I (might) buy. After all, you constantly preach that we have to be careful & trying to be careful.

When I start VPN, it brings me to a page to choose a subscription, but I have a yearly subscription paid in November 2025. Then my Mozilla account says I am logged on but when I click on the application icon I get a circular icon in the window with a cancel button underneath it. See attachment.

VPN has disconnected for NO REASON. This is a paid up year subscription. It has happened before. Just last month. I am running it on a windows 11 platform and use Firefox as my browser and Duck duck go as my search engine.

Prior to a recent browser update, my Firefox New Tab page was completely clean, minimalist, and beautifully displayed the custom background image I had chosen.

However, after the latest update, a large Firefox logo and wordmark have been forced onto the center-top of the New Tab page, completely cluttering the background image. There is no standard toggle or switch anywhere in the "Personalize" or Home settings menu to turn this logo off.

I have already tried the advanced about:config workaround by setting browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.logowordmark.alwaysVisible to False, but the logo remains visible anyway. Even ensuring that "Web Search" is toggled on/off does not resolve the issue.

Please provide a built-in settings option to hide this branding watermark, or a working configuration flag so users can enjoy a clean, unobstructed view of their chosen wallpapers.

I'm being blocked from accessing an online publication I subscribe to unless I remove an ad blocker. When I complained, I got this response: "The service we use for logins and subscriptions, Piano, has been flagged as a tracker by a widely used open source tracking list, so to access your account information or benefits on the site, you will need to slightly loosen your browser's tracking restrictions that apply to the domain piano.io - how this is done varies quite a bit based on what browser/extension is being used to apply the restrictions." I'm using Firefox v149 on a 4.5yo MacBook Air. I have several ad blockers installed (probably redundantly: AdBlocker Plus, AdBlocker for Facebook, AdBlocker Ultimate, and Ghostery AdBlocker). I have no idea what I need to do to loosen Firefox's tracking restrictions that apply to piano.io. Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance!
