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!

As we have observed on domain - "prod.detectportal.prod.cloudops.mozgcp.net" generating 1.5 crores of request on port 53(DNS) and action is redirect here i wanted to know the services why these traffic generating within one minutes, what will the reason? what will be the counter measure?

Hello, I receive a notification from a site that closes after 5 seconds, no matter what I do, I can't increase its open time, I changed dom.notofication.userintraction.enabled to true and increased the time in ease of access, still the problem isnot solved What should I do? i am using windows 7

Unfortunately I had to visit the site of Telus.com and use tech support. Now, there is always a Telus cookie in my Firefox settings. If I clear it, and block in PERMISSIONS, it still reappears as soon as I visit any web page. I always use private browsing. Right now I'm using Vivaldi until I get the thing resolved. Is there any way to kill the thing? Thanks for any assistance.

Recently when viewing the ESPN website, it abruptly changes to Qwest. When I back click to return to the previous page, instead it switches to Amazon. The initial switch to Qwest happens whether or not I click on an ESPN story link or not (I never click on ads). When this occurs, I avoid clicking any links on the Qwest page, instead opting to close the page and then Firefox altogether to avoid a security risk. Are there any steps I should take to prevent this from occurring? Thank you for your time and consideration! Brett Portland, Oregon

Hi,

I am working on a web crawler that scrapes set of websites analyzing certain privacy strings that are present before and after Global Privacy Signals are sent. We make use of Selenium Web Driver to perform the crawl. Part of the data we collect is the urlClassification of third party sites that are tracking users on the site, via Firefox's Enhanced Tracking Protection. However when performing the crawl, Enhanced Tracking Protection data is no longer available while Selenium has automatic control over Firefox, even though there is indeed third party sites (fingerprinters, cross-site tracking cookies) active on these sites when they are manually visited not using our crawler. Does anyone have an idea why our software may be interfering with Firefox's Enhanced Tracking Protection? Thanks!

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 want to figure out how to log into to my bank without triggering 2FA every single time.

At the moment, if I log in and tick the "stay logged in" box, complete the 2FA, tick the "remember this device" box, I still have to log in two hours later, and go through the whole rigamarole again.

I assume this is some cookie setting of my own doing, but I don't know what I did.

I have Firefox using the "Standard' setting to balance protection and performance at <about:preferences#privacy>

Here's what I've tried:

• I added the URL to "exceptions for enhanced tracking protection"
• I added a specific exception to "cookies and site data" to specify that the site can "Always" allow cookies.

Just now, I removed all of my existing cookies for the site, in case I set some cookie previously that is telling it to never track anything. But if that doesn't work, is there anything I can do to ensure that the bank will actually remember that I did successfully complete 2FA in this browser already today?

Hello, can someone please tell me how I can access https://localhost:6000/ in Firefox as I need to access this address for the OctoPrint software so I can configure it.

All the articles I have read about going into the about:config and adding the port number do not work for me.

So can someone please help me with this and point me in the direction of a working article I can use?

I am using version 130.0 (64bit) of Firefox.

Any help much appreciated and thanks.

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.

Hi.

Does anyone know at what regularity the disconnect.me integration as part of the enhanced protection mode is updated please?

The company I work for had an update to the URLs on the disconnect.me side on the 21/08 and this takes affect browser side after it’s been updated by the browser code. But we can see that all URLs are still blocked, rather than some specific ones, with the enhanced protection mode so it isn’t reflecting the updated code disconnect.me have available

Thanks

I found a potential flaw that can allow someone to gather all passwords saved by a user. It's pretty simple to explain, but also to exploit, so I don't want to do it publicly. Is there some specific team member that I should contact directly?

This started a few weeks ago. I thought it might have been because I synced the passwords with other devices. I reverted it back.

When in about:logins, I click on the log in button but nothing happens.
