Firefox Community Forum

I recently read Mozilla CEO Laura Chambers' blog post titled "Improving Online Advertising Through Product and Infrastructure" dated October 3, 2024. I understand that Mozilla is introducing new advertising solutions within products like Firefox and Fakespot, focusing on privacy-preserving techniques and partnerships with Anonym.

While I appreciate Mozilla's commitment to user privacy and innovation in the advertising space, I prefer not to participate in any form of advertising integration within my browser or other Mozilla products.

Does the community have a voice or choice in the matter? Could anyone guide me on how to opt out of these new advertising features or disable them entirely? Or is my only option moving to another browser? I value the control over my online experience and would greatly appreciate any assistance or recommendations the community can provide.

I am having a problem with Release 131.0, apparently with cookies. When I try to access my bank account to pay bills at https://www.citizensbankonline.com/, I get the following error message.

Why can't I access Bill Pay?

This occurs on both my two laptops and my desktops which all run W10. For one of the laptops, it allowed access with the older version of FF until I let it update to R131.0, and now it gives the same error message. I have cleared all cookie checkboxes under "Custom", twice deleted all cookies, site data, and cache, restarted FF several times - each time deleting all cookies for citizens bank, and also tried running "Troubleshooting Mode." If I use MS Edge with default settings (I don't usually use this browser), then all works fine. Is there something else I can try, or is this a known issue with R131.0?

Thank you, Tony D.

for some reason this last update is now blocking my banking website. They recently updated but i have not had trouble until Firefox updated. now i just get a Blank screen when i try to log in so SHOULD I CHANGE TO MICROSOFT EXPLORES AS MY MAIN BROWSER NOW SINCE MORE AND MORE OF MY BOOKMARKS ARE NO LONGER ACCESSIBLE USING FIREFOX?????

how do I actually turn this off? I work for realtors and am constantly filling out contracts with addresses, and doing address searches for them. I have "autofill addresses" turned off under Privacy and security, but it asks me EVERY time I fill out a contract if I want to save the address. I have to say "not now" easily twenty times during my work day. Am I missing something obvious? this has only become a problem in the last couple weeks or so, but I am starting to get frustrated. thanks so much! Nicole

Firefox is already my PC browser, I guess that I have had it as my default for over ten years now. Has the new Firefox cookie protection just announced by Mozilla already been added to my Firefox or will that happen at the next auto update? Or is there some action I need to take to download this update to my browser? Thank you

I have online accounts with both drawboard.com and offerup.com. Neither of these websites will finish logging out when I click log out on Firefox. I assume it's a Firefox issue as I do not have the same problem with Safari or Chrome when I've tried. I really don't want to stay logged in to those websites when I'm not using them. On Drawboard, the logout page just gets stuck there and won't change even if I refresh. On Offerup, it doesn't do anything at all.

Been trying to log out of offerup for weeks even with their help desk. Please help, thanks.

order of images is important there are almost 10 different images in uri linked

Having spent a frustrating weelend being unable to log into Coventry Building Society's online banking app, I 'phoned the this morning to be told they consider Firefox insecure and no longer support its use. The app accepts my username & password, tells me they are going to 'phone me with an access code and then displays "Page not found". Anyone know of any other bank or similar who would believe Firefox to be insecure?

Payments methods are in place in firefox. When hover over payment method required can see payment options but when select does insert payment method in field. requires authentication is not activated

I just wasted 3 hours trying to figure out why my ComfyUI (local AI image generator) stopped working with Firefox. There were no error messages from ComfyUI, it just failed to load workflow files.

It turns out that it's because Firefox is installed as a snap package and wherever the snap configuration for Firefox lives thinks it knows better than I do what files and directories on my system I can access in Firefox.

I also had this problem with trying to open PDFs in my home directory where I kept getting access denied errors. I tried to solve the problems with the snap version and found several proposed solutions by google search which people claimed worked but did not.

I finally found a web page that described how to uninstall the snap package and install an alternate non-snap version of Firefox, and now everything works like I expect it to.

How do I make sure this snap version does not ever come back?

Firefox 131.0(aarch64) OSX 15.0.1

1st Issue: The 'Clear Cache' doesn't seem to completely clear the cache. Eg: I'm logged into gmail, I go to Privacy & Security and then click Clear Cache and History. I navigate back to gmail. I'm still logged in.

2nd Issue: When I right click and 'Open Link in New Private Window' this doesn't actually take me to a private window. I have to select File/New Private Window and paste the link to that window.

Issue with primary password, I'd appreciate if someone could shine a light on this issue. I feel I'm wasting time unnecessary. Here it comes:

On a given day and out of the blue Firefox starts asking for primary password whenever it needs to save a password for a website. I type my password to no avail. I'm logged in, I can sync but I can't see saved passwords. I reset my password with recovery key. I set a new password. I log in my account. I can see my browsing history but same problem.

Any ideas on how to solve this? Thanks in advance
