Hi there,

I recently received notice of being a part of the one billionth data breach and I am officially sick of it. I love and use firefox and beta, but I know my privacy is not that protected. I was looking through reviews and found Waterfox which is supposed to be built on the firefox platform, but has better privacy protections. I downloaded it and all seemed right. I imported from Firefox. Then I tried to download it to my iphone and the only thing that came up was "Water Fox". I downloaded it and couldn't even get through opening it without crazy ads and it looking like some game app. It wanted my saved data from firefox to import. But, no way. Either this was pretending to be WaterFox and a scam, or WaterFox IS a scam. So, I'm hoping maybe someone here would know and would also know if I just made a huge mistake by installing this. If it were just an app pretending to be WaterFox, why wasn't there an actual waterfox app? That was the only one even close. And, the reviews said that WaterFox was students working with Firefox or something like that, but couldn't find anything about them in Firefox forums. Any info would be greatly appreciated. And, if I did just make a huge mistake, is there a way to fix it? I didn't sign in with the squirrely iphone app, but I did with the desktop. Eeeep.

Confused about Mozilla Monitor: action needed vs. resolve exposures

I am signed up for Mozilla Monitor but not for Monitor Plus. I received notification that the Monitor data broker scan will end on December 17 so I want to take action before that date on the scan results I have received.

When I browse the list of Profiles and expand the individual items (via the down arrow), sometimes I see a button labeled "resolve exposures" and most other times I do not.

Why is "resolve exposures" option so infrequent? When that option does not display, how do I remove the profile?

MetaMask Add-on Performance Issue on Mozilla Firefox

The MetaMask browser extension is extremely slow and unresponsive when used in Mozilla Firefox. Actions such as opening the wallet, switching networks, approving transact… (read more)

The MetaMask browser extension is extremely slow and unresponsive when used in Mozilla Firefox. Actions such as opening the wallet, switching networks, approving transactions, or interacting with dApps take a long time or freeze temporarily.

This issue occurs only in Firefox. MetaMask works smoothly and as expected on other browsers (for example, Chromium-based browsers) and all other websites and browser extensions load and function normally in Firefox. This suggests the problem is specific to the MetaMask add-on behavior within Firefox rather than general browser performance.

Impact:

Delayed transaction approvals

Lag while opening the extension

Poor user experience when interacting with dApps

Productivity impact when using Web3 applications

bold text

A former iPhone user, I now have an Android. I downloaded iSyncr so I could transfer my songs from the computer to my phone. It worked fine until I (needed to) download Firefox on this old Mac. Now I can't seem to even pull iSyncr up on the computer. The phone wants to accept the song, but the Mac won't open iSyncr. What do I do, other than get a new Mac with an updated OS! Thank you!

I have a new xfinity account with XB7 gateway. All of my devices are connected and operational. Attempts to use Fire Fox and most other browsers to access the internet are blocked with the following notification: "Your connection isn't private. Attackers may be trying to steal your information from www.firefox.com (for example passwords, messages, or credit cards). NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID. This same message shows up with attempts to open browsers from bing, google, etc. However Wikipedia opens with no error notification.

The layout of YouTube was different from before. In the past, after the YouTube video was over. The MAIN WINDOW within YouTube page would showed two rows of recommendations. Now there is only one row with great amount of black-out space at top and bottom. Any suggestion to tune it to the usual two rows?
