Forum der Gemeinschaft Firefox

Since the last major update, the title bar is blank. Not missing, blank white. If I use the task bar to shrink and restore it, it appears normally. Sometime in normal use it suddenly appears. A search didn't find anything for me. Any ideas?

website (well known newspaper) is correctly listed in search bar. Sometimes the search allows just the website name/sometimes front page. Unfortunately, I cannot access the information shown. Unresponsive to my attempt to select a news story

I just learnt that the mozilla firefox terms of service have been either updated, or previously included, a clause of sorts that states that any content uploaded to mozzilla is automatically given a royalty free worldwide license to mozilla itself. Does this apply to content such as add-ons only or does it apply to things uploaded to other websites(such as social media, forums, etc)

Cannot clear browsing history. Delete page does not work. Clear recent history does not work.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but I think it automatically imported everything which was not desirable in this case.

Do not have account or sync so it is not pulling from either of those places

Hi,

I saw that firefox deleted all of its language about not selling user data and that has me concerned. I chose to use firefox in a large part because I did not want my data to be sold and this change has me preparing to change browsers this week. Can you please offer a thorough explanation about why firefox is going back on a policy that it once claimed it "never have and never will"? How is my data being used, sold, and profited off of by firefox with this change? Is there a way for me to opt out of my data being sold?

dltpm3@aol.com:

Malware bytes stopped this web address from loading. It is-- ti-71.914trk.com -- How to remove it from my pc and or Firefox?

Also, getting this address stopped. ti-71.914trk.com by malwarebytes.

Thanks

ps - unable to copy and paste a window from malwarebytes to this location?

I really don't remember installing any plug-in related to it. The Youtube web page shows a download button at the bottom of the video window, when I click on it it opens a pop-up window to the Yt5s web page, but the mentioned web is full of forced advertising and all kind of irregular staff. When I go to the plug-ins section of Firefox it is not shown there. I have no idea how to remove this script. May you please help me?

I sold my Macbook, Signed out and Reset Firefox, and yet the new owner still has all my passwords saved in Firefox.

Why make it so difficult and unsafe? Reset should mean reset. period.

I have noticed some activity in my server logs featuring user agent strings where the "rv" component contains a decimal number greater than 0, such as the following example:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:115.8) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/124.0

Could you please clarify if there are instances where the "rv" portion of a user agent string would legitimately include a decimal number greater than 0?

This looks to be something suspicious going on and would like to make sure if this is something legitimate or not.

I am a long time user of Firefox (I remember the Netscape days...) Recently, I have come across rumblings about Firefox privacy defaults. At first i dismissed it as the usual whinging, but then i started to see what appears to almost be forks of Firefox. I have already ditched Thunderbird because of their nonsensical thread defaults. Surely, Firefox with its privacy focus wouldn't be making privacy decisions from collaboration with other browser companies like google & Microsoft? One of the early really great privacy innovations was in containers, but it is still an extension. Why? Because of the architecture of Chrome, its is not possible to have containers in chrome engined browsers. So is that why Mozilla didn't progress containers? Did the money from Google for default search engine (shame on you Mozilla) come with strings attached? I came across Librewolf which mostly use the Firefox code but with much more stringent privacy defaults, and with bundled ad blocker as part of the default installation. How can it claim to be more privacy focused than Firefox when it uses Firefox code? Firefox is supposedly the privacy focus browser so why is it following what Chrome and Edge do? They will NEVER gain lost market share by watering down their privacy settings which is the reason to even exist. It just antagonizes users like me. Or is that the point, a nice easy progression till oblivion and we all then accept an advertisement riddled internet.

While waiting on my Bank website to load (was very slow) why did Waiting on www.facebook.com show at the bottom the whole time? I did a screen shot.

How can I completely block Facebook from accessing my system through firefox?

Hi Mozilla Firefox!!

First of all, thank you for your service!

I get a ton of notifications about viruses, etc. from Mozilla, and from McAfee via Mozilla. I have purchased virus protection, etc. from Avast, and am not receiving these notifications from them, so I assume, especially in the case of McAfee, that these are scares/warnings with the hope of sales. Also, these notification boxes are un-openable, and the sender looks like a fraudulent email.

Any light you can shed on this would be greatly appreciated!!

Please reply to my email: [edited] @juno.com

Thanks,

Completely out of the blue I cannot connect to my account at LLoyds bank because of a security problem with the bank which you describe as a connectivity issue. They say the problem lies with Firefox. Whichever I need it sorted quickly.

I have a notification from 'Mozilla Monitor' (breach-alerts@mozilla.com) that "Mozilla Monitor found your email in a data breach'. It then says 'Compromised data: Device information, Email addresses, IP addresses, NAmes, Passwords, Phone numbers, and Purchases'.

Is this genuine or some kind of scam?

For over a decade, I trusted Firefox implicitly, believing in your unwavering commitment to user privacy and respect. Today, that trust was shattered when I opened my browser to find ads plastered across my homepage. This isn't just an annoyance; it's a betrayal of the very principles that drew me to your software. You've reduced yourselves to the same level as the data-hungry corporations you once stood against. It's not just disappointing—it's despicable. I will not stand by and accept this violation. Consider this my farewell, as I cannot in good conscience continue to use a product that so blatantly disregards its users. You've lost more than just a customer; you've lost the respect and loyalty of someone who once championed your cause.
