Here is what ion the settings page under the general tab, system has been disabled by system administrator. I don't have a administrator. I can't get anywhere using terminal. Looks like someone is controlling things. I did finally get over to my latest new email address, [edited] @protonmail.com. Do you think I will have to erase the HDrive and start over. And than who knows how that will work. What do you think ? Thanks Gary

I am running Windows 10 (up to date) and FF desktop version. Because of eyesight issues I run Windows 10 scaled tp 150%. As I've begun using FF I find many windows, as well as the banner, tab bar and url are very large. Therefore they take up too much screen real estate and I can't always use websites without having the last 4 or 5 lines hidden and inaccessible.

Years ago I used FF with a compact theme but these no longer seem to be available. How can I adjust the FF settings, or the Windows 10 settings for FF, so that I can both see it easily and have access to the entire length of the window? Thanks for any help and/or suggestions.

Every time I access the web I get a report from Norton saying "Threat secured". It attaches every single website that I open. See attachment for some exmaples (only variabole part of message shown apart from first one).This is occuring 50+ times a day but does not occur using Edge, so it appears to be related to Firefox. PLEASE help. Norton have not helped with this. Thank you- Colin O'Brien

The site chatgpt.com demands challenges.cloudflare.com to be allowed. I visited this site and allowed cookies. Then it worked. However, the chatgpt.com site froze and when I reloaded it, I had to start all over again. This time, the request for challenges.cloudflare.com remains, even though a URL attachment is reloaded every few seconds. The same thing happens on the openai.com site and several other. I'm using windows 7.1 and ESET Smart Security Premium.

VPN + Mozilla DNS over HTTPS

Hello!

I use a VPN when I access the web and I recently updated my OS (Mac OS Tahoe). I updated Firefox and now DNS over HTTPS (DoH) is enabled in Firefox. When I have my VPN enabled, I cannot access the web, there is some problem with DNS resolution. I have changed my Firefox DoH settings to Standard (I have also used Strict) and have typically been unable to resolve web URLs correctly. There have been a few times that I have been able to use 'Standard' DoH strictness / settings and also use the VPN successfully at the same time, but typically when I have the VPN enabled Firefox cannot access whichever 'mozilla.cloudflare' address it is attempting to use for DNS resolution.

The VPN vendor suggested always using the VPN's DNS resolver. I have done this and I still have the same problem. What should I do to ensure that I have secure DNS and can successfully use a VPN?

Thank you.

Sidebar

Sidebar is a lousy feature. I don't use it, I don't want it and I can't get rid of it.

How can I remove the sidebar completely from my screen?

I have a whole mountain of Mozilla/Firefox URLs blocked in Pihole. Unfortunately, that is apparently necessary to protect my privacy and not have to install forced updates every day or two with a mandatory restart of my browser included.

To my great surprise, I see that the last 2 updates just came through. The first one I can understand becuase I had Pihole open for test_purposes. But that is closed and this morning I got another one. Has the update_procedure changed? Are the IPs hardcoded or is DOH being used to get past my firewall?

If so, I need the ip addresses because I don't have the time to go put a Wireshark on it. Unfortunately then Mozilla will also show up in pfSense also. Or I choose a completely different option to say goodbye to Firefox after al those decades. Because I'm totally done with having to invest a lot of work because my browser can't behave.

Please help because I can't find it within an hour search.
