I'm a Nearly 6 Year Old Firefox User I NEEDED that FEATURE SO BADLY PLEASE FIX it SOMEHOW. ThAnks Regards: Loyal USer

I look at porn on my Android phone. I use Private Browsing to do so. Why are my Private Browsing addresses appearing as Firefox Suggest results that appear outside of Private Browsing as well? And why does Pornhub show me a personalized home page when I'm using Private Browsing? None of these pages are in my browser history because I've only accessed them via Private Browsing. But these "features" sort of defeat the purpose of it don't you think?

I've just switched from Chrome to Firefox and never had this issue with Chrome.

Hi, Is it possible to get the French translation of the "Enhanced Tracking Protection in Firefox for desktop" article ?

Regards,

Un mot fait plaisir

Let's imagine that I'm trying to access a server on port 80, let's call it http://example.com:80 . I'd like to see if that site is actually active. When I try and do that Firefox instead goes to https://example.com:443 . In my example, that's actually a completely different site that I do not want to access (for completeness port 80 is used for certificate renewal of a whole bunch of different names that are all set up on other ports, of which 443 is one).

In both a regular Firefox browsing window and in a private browsing window, Firefox decides to access https://example.com:443 instead of http://example.com:80 , despite me explicitly typing "http://example.com:80" in the URL bar.

How do I prevent Firefox from doing this when I explicitly request an http site?

I have been trying to log into a Web site for a couple of days now. I reported the site via the internal broken site feature early on. I still haven't had so much as an acknowledgment.

I have used Firefox for Mac for decades, so I know a few tricks. I went into Privacy and Security, made Enhanced Tracking custom, and clicked the Exceptions line. The attached image is all I got.

So I clicked that single link. It took me to a knowledgebase article, Enhanced Tracking Protection in Firefox for Android.

But all that article does is tell how to get to where I found the link that brought me to the article!

I know my original log-in problem is within Firefox: I had no trouble getting into my account with DuckDuckGo.

Trying to get onto X.com but it keeps telling me (Firefox Enhanced Tracking Protection {Strict Mode} is known to cause issues on X.com. I looked in settings and it's on Standard Mode. So what should I do?

Hi, my name is Richard Hagen and I live in Illinois. On two websites, Zero Hedge and Naked Capitalism I constantly have this message blocking photos, videos, quotes. I don't know how to send a screen shot but the message is always the same:

I not going to change anything as I have a right to protect myself from uninvited intruders into my personal choices of internet sites. I want these people out of my computer.

                                                                                                                  Thank You

I am an academic researcher formerly affiliated with an institution that uses Okta as its two-factor authentication service for access to institutional subscriptions (think Elsevier, Cambridge Core, Brill, JStor, etc.). Since I am no longer affiliated with that institution, I am no longer authorized to access that institution's subscriptions. I am not trying to access that institution's subscriptions, however, if I try to log in to these repositories as an individual, I am automatically redirected to my former institution's Okta authentication page.

The browser: Mozilla Firefox 143.0.3. I am able to access other sites on other browsers, as well as in private Firefox windows, which suggests it is a problem with my Firefox account. These are temporary workarounds I can live with only in the very short term. I am under no circumstances willing to switch browsers. I use Firefox for a reason. FWIW, I am also contacting Okta support to see what they recommend.

The computer: Macbook Air 2020 M1. It is a personal computer. I do not have access to another device.

I have cleared my browser history, saved form data, saved site settings, cookies, and cache (x5). I have deleted all saved passwords containing the email address associated with my former institution. I have restarted the browser (x5). I have restarted my computer (x2). I have reached out to IT at the institution (they are flummoxed).

I'm nearing my wit's end with this. I'm working on multiple projects with multiple deadlines. The temporary workaround and constant barrier to access are driving me up the wall. I will be infinitely grateful for a permanent solution to this hellish problem.

Back in November (2024) I began noticing an absorbent number of cookies in “Manage Cookies and Site Data” (MCSD). Considering I delete cookies with fair regularity daily, this is unusual. The amount that I am seeing now, is around 190 advertising/Tracking cookies even when I only visit one or two sites. If I remove them and recycle the page and return to MCSD they are all back in storage in only those few seconds. This process can go on forever. This occurs even when I disconnect from the internet. How is this possible, where are these companies storing this stuff on my computer and how do I remove them and/or stop them from self populating? I have a Dell 64 something, running windows 10 I have Ad Blocker and Privacy Badger, along with a few others that are not security based. See Attachments

Thanks

I read a SmartBlock explanation, but it was quite unclear. Seems to be tying SmartBlock to Facebook. I do not use Facebook. Why is logging in with Facebook required for SmartBlock to work on sites that are unrelated to Facebook? Very unclear.

Many links shared by correspondents over or into other apps have recently stopped opening. Typically a blank white page. Often share.google links, clicked from whatsapp, open firefox then give this blank white page, presumably this is Google's attempt at tracking without cookies & FF is blocking them. For example: clicking this from whatsapp https://share.google/8XIPjfzcE6gtZzfsi opens just fine if pasted into chrome but that's not my default browser.

(btw my browser is Firefox Nightly) Don't get me wrong, I love having vertical tabs. It's less busy than the horizontal tabs and I can look through my tabs more quickly. But, the way it's implemented sucks - It makes the layout of the webpage pop anytime I use it; there is no keyboard button attached to opening and closing the tab (I have to go through my horizontal bar to open my vertical bar); and recently my browser forgets the sidebar settings, meaning I have to re-check the "Hide tabs and sidebar" setting.

Bonus request Can the sidebar just go over the webpage (i.e. like the application menu) instead of squishing it? I'm ok with having some webpage features temporarily covered if it means I don't have to see the screen pop into a new rectangular shape every time I switch tabs.

When I open Google to check email, this site shows up every time:

 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enhanced-tracking-protection-firefox-desktop?

I may have been browsing, but I do not remember asking it to be on my desktop.

I only have one explanation. On Labor Day, at 8:30 am EST, I went into a Grand Mal seizure and then flat lined with my x-ray friend of 20 years watching me die. I lost some of my memory. And the CPR hurt my right and arm to the point I cannot do much with it.

All I do remember is being on the settings page. When I close out the computer I delete my history and just look at the Settings page. That would have been around Sept. 14 - 20, 2025; 7pm.
