I use containers to segregate cookies amongst specific groups as I desire, further, I use the Mozilla Multi-Account Containers extension so i can sync these containers across devices and clear cookies for individual containers. Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be any way for me to clear the cookies of all my non-containerised browsing. In Firefox settings, I can clearly see that I can clear ALL my data, but I only want the data that has been used when I select "No container" for a new tab to be cleared. I am unsure if this is a missing feature or I am just unable to find it.

In the images provided you can see that you can manage your containers with this add-on and clear the storage and cookies for individual containers, however, this list lacks the "No Container" (which I guess is a container of its own) and the general firefox clear storage and cookies menu clears everything, including my containerised storage and cookies.

This is pretty shady Mozilla.

When disabling only one setting: "Allow Firefox to install and run studies" it wrecks this site whether logging is or continuing as guest:

Even after logging in and everything running normal, disabling the studies run by Mozilla and a quick refresh breaks the functionality of the page. All cookies were accepted and the sharing of location was allowed. On a fresh, first run, wide open Firefox people. Literally, the only change that was made was unchecking that one box. In disbelief, i tested it over and over.

Why would disabling a telemetry setting, something that should be optional, cause this to happen? Seriously, what could possibly be the reason. I'd love to hear it.

This was the final nail in the coffin to me and this is since the 0.9x days.

I am trying to log into Hallmark.com and am being denied. Believe it is due to ad blocking? And it says I am a non-human trying to log on

So the options are Block, Allow for Session, and Allow. Block and Allow are obvious; Allow for Session not so much. If multiple windows are used on same website at the same time, is each window a Session or are they all covered for the duration of that specific session? If Allow for Session, will they have access to what goes on only when Session is happening, or will they be updated with ensuing traffic the next time I open a Session? TIA, KBo

I have gone into about:config and changed all the telemetry entries et al to false to prevent as much datareporting as possible - what I want to do is prevent Firefox (135) from creating the 'datareprting' folder in my profile folder. I delete it every time I go into Firefox, which is an everyday pain because it returns with EVERY new session. I delete it 1. because they don't need it, and 2. more importantly, firefox is NOTICEABLY faster once it is deleted. People have been asking this since like FF 40. Can anyone solve this?

I have no organization.... why is this at the top of my settings and how do I get rid of it

also how do I get more shortcuts on the main home screen.... I checked 4 rows and it only shows 1 and one half row

There is this unknown device which signed into my account 19 days ago and when I click sign out nothing happens. It is impossible to remove it from my end, can you assist with this. Refer to the screenshot, thank you.

I am observing a trend where popular extensions, such as the "I don't care about cookies" extension, change ownership and become derelict and/or malware, as clearly pointed out in recent reviews for the extensions. However, it takes multiple clicks to get to this information in the reviews, and there is very little curation.

I understand it is likely highly infeasible to audit extensions for malware in any comprehensive way, however I definitely feel that there is room for enhancement of the present processes.

I think this extension search process should be more proactive in informing users of these events. For example, rather than just displaying a star rating next to the extension name, displaying chronological trends would be more information-dense. Like if recent reviews are trending negative. This could also reward and incentivise extensions which are properly supported, (and not malware), displaying that their reviews are maintaining / increasing positivity over time.

A supporting feature could be publicising changes of ownership of an extension prominently - "This extension has changed ownership N times, the most recent change was Y-date to X-owner. Reviews have trended Z since that time".

Is something like this being worked on already? If so I am interested in contributing to it.

I have forgotten the purpose of the green outline around the page's border. What does it do and how to turn on, after turning it off. Thanks in advance. Let me know if this is an extension or some other feature. Thanks, JJE

Today when I opened firefox I was greeted with a chat gpt bot on the left side of my screen. I don't want chat gpt any where near my computer. Please tell me how to remove that part of firefox from my pc.

I have noticed that recently, whenever I start Firefox, BING is auto-opening a new tab *without my input.* Firefox is not my default browser (I use several), and I have removed ALL extensions and themes (except for ad-blocking, which has always been there), and ensured that pop-up blocker is enabled. My Windows 10 PC cannot find any malware; I hate being hijacked (esp. by Microsoft) and want this to stop! My other browsers do not do this...only Firefox. I have tried suggestions to modify REGEDIT, but can find no solutions to prevent this (other than not using Firefox anymore). Help, please! Thanks so much.

I posted the following on facebook yesterday, I feel as if something changed in my Firefox settings as this only started about 2 months ago. 2 factor Authentication is shut off in facebook. "Can anyone tell me how to shut this off? Everytime I log onto FB from my computer I get this screen. 2-factor authorization wants to send a code to my cell phone. There's got to be a way to turn it off. I am using Windows 11 pro with Firefox as a browser."

Any thoughts?
