I am on endeavourOS (linux). Whenever I try to upload images for a profile picture to sites like youtube or X, the image becomes corrupted and doesn't upload correctly. It did this with whatsapp too and I had to use a separate app for it. Other posts said that disabling "privacy.resistFingerprinting" would fix it, but it's already disabled.

Attached below are an example of this bug and the contents of this image when viewed on a text editor.

Often I can't access content indicated by a link in an article or email. I tried turning off the Firefox firewall, but it made no difference. Now I am unable to turn the firewall back on.

I'm concerned about cross-tab privacy. I have a paid Gmail account and recently explicitly removed the Google Sites app from that account as I don't create websites using it and I don't want Google tracking me on sites others create with it.

Using the most current Firefox for Windows and Duck Duck Go for search, I was blocked by Google from bringing up this site, with a message that "I don't have that app installed."

Gmail is open in a separate tab in my Firefox browser. I do power down my PC daily. On this same computer, I opened Bing and the site comes right up.

Why should I be blocked from seeing it in Firefox if I can see it in Bing? Is it because I'm signed in to Google to get to my mailbox in another tab? It appears that way since it is bringing up the same symbol top right as it does in Gmail.

If you choose to sync your browser history through firefox sync, does mozilla have a way to generate the relevant cryptographic keys to decipher your data on their servers? I know that they say even Mozilla doesn't have access to your data - even when at rest - but I also noticed that they don't seem to utilize the term "zero-knowledge encryption." In other words, does mozilla have the technical capacity to decrypt data synced via mozilla sync?

Nord VPN not recognizing that Firefox is on version 130. It keeps thinking that I am on version 128. I have Nord techs telling me what to do with their app but nothing I have done, even a complete new install of Nord, is fix ing the problem. They have suggested I get in touch with Firefox so here I am. OS Win10 home. It is also happening on my lap top with Win 11

Hi,

I have a couple of websites now where the Cookie acceptance window/pop up, displays for 1 second then disappears. This effectively leaves the page slightly dimmed and locked. I've tried the URLs in Chrome and the Cookie window display correctly and allows for user selection.

I have tried to add an exception for the URL for pop-ups, and then disabling pop-up blocking completely, but I still have the problem.

Thanks, Nick.

Firefox browser desktop - I've cleared my cache, cookies and history and turned it on and off, signed in and out also. I can log in to my amazon spain account using edge or google. I always use firefox, but now amazon spain won't let me. Is this a problem anywhere else and what else could I be doing wrong? Thanks

I went to check one of my gmail messages and when I opened youtube in another tab It had me signed into youtube with the email I was checking!! what the F**K is this? I didn't want it to sign in with that, it's not only frustrating but I could see for people on public computers having major privacy issues with this. How can I NOT have it sign into youtube automatically when I used gmail? Those are two different things for me with different purposes. It's super frustrating and a breech of privacy, very upsetting.

I have a hacker on my Firefox and Mozilla accounts it shows up that I'm using a computer but I don't have one. I'm using my android phone. This is the reason I chose to use Firefox to get privacy back. Mozilla doesn't offer the support I need because I'm limited to questions I have. I'm so frustrated. I didn't sync with any other devices but it's synced with my account. Can you help me regain my privacy using your apps? I'm not on a computer!!! Please don't let me down!!!

I thought at first that the Master Password was for that, it seems however its purpose is only to protect access to the saved sites passwords. I set it up and it did in fact ask me for a password at startup but with just 2 tries to close the window, the prompt went away and did not prevent me to use Firefox further. It eventually appeared again but the result was the same. How can i prevent unathorized people using Firefox right at startup?

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 All ,

Hope someone can help me on this. I am trying to access directly a device from Browser with an IP address. https://192.168.1.1 But i get the error : "Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead"

Usually get the option of adnaced to proceed further. The Version is 130.0 (64-bit) and even set the about:config, security.dialog_enable_delay to minimum.

I have added the self signned certificate of the deivice to Firefox , but that is not helping, since i am accessing it with IP address and not FQDN. I cannot add it as exception in the exception list , since that setting also ask for DNS name.

Ip address access exception is no more available in this version , how can i proceed further and not downagrade to lower verion to support access via IP .

Regards, Zanoob

What should be my response to these messages? Dismiss closes the particular message, but it is immediately replaced with another similar one. I have no idea what the xxxx.mergenetworkprotocol is or how to use it. It is real or a phishing scam? Is it safe to simply tell Firefox to hide it?

I recently added an ADDON that function to, OPEN A LINK IN A NEW TAB.

I saw something about that the Addon wasn't monitored for security.

This lead me to ask this question:

DO ADDONS SEND INFORMATION TO OTHER ENTITIES BESIDES FIREFOX, FOR EXAMPLE DO THEY SEND INFO TO THE DEVELOPERS OF ADDONS?

Thanks for your help in advance, Kavin King
