"Hello Mozilla Team! I am Piyush. I use Firefox for 8 hours daily on my Zorin OS PC and Android. I have personally helped 18 people switch from Chrome to Firefox! I have set up 'Strict Tracking Protection' and 'Max DNS Protection' for all of them. I love how secure it is and I'm sharing my technical data to help you improve. Keep up the great work!"

I have entered in exceptions for a web page that Firefox continues to block....I have gone through your steps 4 times now...one time out of 4 you actually let the web page through....since then you don't again...what is wrong with your system? as I am not receiving a download link from the intended exception due to the fact you are not honoring it....

See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-turn-do-not-track-feature :

> Many sites do not respect this indication of a person's privacy preferences and, in some cases, it can reduce privacy.

This really hurts to see from Mozilla.

You could have linked to Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_Not_Track

Why did this policy change? I am aware of GPC: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/global-privacy-control

When I dye my hair in 5 colors, I'm aware that can reduce my privacy. I'm not trying to fit in. I'm trying to make a statement. To put a flag in the ground! Like your logo!

If you are going to make this sort of decision again, can you

• please*

not tell me it's for my own good because of privacy?

Can you just say the policy was changed next time? No elaboration is fine.

Please!

For Valentine's Day I would love it if Mozilla could let me set the DNT bit to 1 again. I would love you so much. I still do.

I'm trying to disable the tracking on my laptop. All this tracking is getting way too personal for me! When I go to Privacy & Security in Settings, I only get the option to Manage Exceptions where you have to enter certain website names for exceptions to privacy.or tracking. I want to disable all tracking as it's an invasion of my privacy. Any help will be appreciated and I am not a computer "techie" so specific instructions will be needed. TY

If you choose to start blasting ai everywhere I will look to switch away as needed.

I use Firefox because it has been the only option where at the very least I can opt out of this ai slop bullshit. Because it is the only place not feeling my data through a dipshit filter right into Microsoft and Google's ad services.

Don't make me have to drop you.

Generative AI relies on the blatant and flagrant violation of user privacy to train its own language models and supply users with its own stolen, bastardized input. It slows down the browser its built into with no benefit, forcing its users to jump through ridiculous hoops and workarounds to disable its resource-gobbling features. If we wanted this, we would swap to browsers like Chrome, Edge, or Opera. If this snake-oil abomination that dares to proclaim itself some sort of advanced "technology" continues to be enforced on us, I, and many others, will simply opt for a different browser that does not enforce this abomination upon its users; of which there are plenty.

something new is happening where I am opening up a webpage in Firefox to read an article, and my podcast that I'm listening to in the also open podcast app suddenly drops out and music starts playing from an ad on the website, even though I have not yet scrolled far enough down in the article to even see they had much less given it permission to play at me.

Blocking this kind of interference is why I have exclusively used Firefox as my web browser on iOS as well as on my laptop computers. I'm very disappointed to see this and hoping that someone will point out to me a simple change of settings that will keep this kind of random noise pollution at bay.

YouTube keeps requiring me to sign on every time I access internet for anything. I am not using YouTube.

Was hoping Firefox would stop this nonsense But it doesn't prevent you tube from tracking my surfing.

Maybe you can make a patch to stop this invasion of my use of Internet?

Fingers crossed.

Dear Community: What settings can I use so that the sites I continually use recognize me. I have to sign into my email many times a day and also to the New York Times Games which I subscribe to. Is there a way to allow these sites to recognize me without having to go through signing in each time. Even if I log out and a minute later I need to go back on. I have to go through the rigamarole of signing in yet again.

I do not have to do this on my phone as the sites recognize me. I used to be able to do this on this computer also now I can no longer do it. I believe there is something in Firefox settings that is causing this but I don't know what it is or how to change the settings that are causing this.
