Firefox Community Forum

Hello everyone,

I would like to ask for clarification regarding the distribution of Firefox through third-party packaging methods.

As I understand it, Mozilla's trademarks and branding are protected, and in some cases official permission may be required to distribute Firefox under the Firefox name and branding.

Within the Ubuntu Touch community, there is a method called "Crackle" that can repackage existing applications and make them available as installable "Clickable" packages on the platform. One of the applications that has been repackaged in this way is Firefox.

However, this Firefox package is currently not available in the Ubuntu Touch software store because there is concern that distributing it may require explicit permission from Mozilla.

My question is therefore:

Does a project or community need Mozilla's permission to distribute a repackaged version of Firefox through a software store? If so, what would be the correct process for obtaining such permission? Alternatively, if the software is merely being repackaged to provide an installation method on another platform, without modifying Firefox itself, is additional permission still required?

We would appreciate any clarification regarding Mozilla's policies on redistribution, repackaging, and trademark usage in this context.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

I'm using firefox in ubuntu. A couple of minutes ago Firefox crashed. I restarted to a completely new Firefox. All my tabs, extensions, saved passwords, etc. were gone. This happened to me a few weeks ago. That time I found a solution: find a back-up of the old profile and manually restore it. I tried to reproduce that solution this time, only to find that there are no back-ups at all of my previous session. Is there a solution to this problem?

I am using Linux mint and have never encountered this problem before. It is not a login or password problem! I can't even open the site to get to that part! Connection timed out. Is there a simple fix like allowing AI enhancements? I found disabling them solved my shut down lag time and load time. I wonder what other sites won't work now.

Why is Firefox sending me email msg's saying to try the new firefox VPN when It doesn't seem to be available to me? It's not in the upper right corner as they state and it's not in the toolbar either which they also say it's suppose to be in!

I've file download feature in my web application. When polling of file percentages is complete i am sending file to the client (browser) But in fire fox it downloading an .html file instead of actual file. Whereas in chrome it working as expected.

Can I lock in my Zoom setting to 120. When I am scrolling up or down a page, My 120 zoom goes crazy. There has to be a way to lock my zoom rate to 120. I can lock in my zoom rate with Chrome. Why not Mozilla?

Firefox lived on my computer for three days. On May 30th I installed the latest version of Firefox Developer Edition. Today when I launched my browser I saw a page notifying me that my version of Firefox is the latest [152.0b6 (64-bit)]. All installed extensions disappeared, the connected profile was deleted, the .mozilla/firefox directory contained only the newly created profile... No history, no bookmarks... No crash reports...

What happened? Now I'm afraid to sync the browser with my phone, in case it clears all my passwords.

One Home/House. Two PCs. a. WINDOWS 1O b. LINUX 22.3 Both share One Mouse One Keyboard One Monitor. I have a FIREFOX account and have joined both PCs to MOZILLA. I have activated, deactivate and successfully used FIREFOX SYNC. I keep getting emails from MOZILLA stating that someone else signed on to my email acct. and a MOZILLA supplied a 6 digit code to confirm. I know it was me, so I confirm using 6 digit code and no problems. My question is. Who, How or can I inform so MOZILLA/FIREFOX recognizes both PCs. Also. Have been thinking about purchase of a YUBIKEY/KEYs for security. I know, for loss prevention, it is best to purchase 2 Keys. But can a single YUBIKEY be shared on both PCs. Or, do I need to purchase separate keys for each PC? So 4 Keys... 2 Keys for the WINDOWS 1O and 2 keys for the LINUX PC?

Not sure if this is a Linux or Firefox issue, but here goes. In the past when uploading pictures for instance in Gmail I got a menu showing places EG pictures, video's etc. Example - home - pictures- cats - black cats - list of jpg's, click attach. When attaching another pic from the same folder etc it used to default to the same folder location with the list of jpg's.

With the last few FF updates that isn't the case any more, when next attaching a pic file I now have to start again from scratch EG home, pics, cats, black cats instead of click attach straight to list of jpg's in back cats.

Is there anyway I can configure FF back to the old setting please?
