Every time I browse using Firefox and then access Instagram, I start receiving ads related to the websites or searches I made in the browser. This proves that Instagram is accessing Firefox data to influence purchases or direct me to sponsored links. Please investigate because my privacy is being completely compromised and shared with Instagram.'

New Version Ruined Privacy Option

The most recent Firefox update (145.0) lacks the convenience of easily editing the cookie collection that tells websites about me. The feature I'm referring to was under settings - privacy and security - and then something about cookies. It allowed me to show what sites had collected cookies on me recently and to erase any private data they had collected.

I hope this was an oversight or the feature has simply been moved to another location. If not, I'd really like to roll back the latest update and pause any further updates until the old functionality is restored to the new updates.

Can anybody help me?

Hi all,

I am on Firefox for Android version 133 and am trying to stop getting cookie banners. According to this article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cookie-banner-reduction-firefox-android, there should be an option under Privacy and security, but no options for the cookie banner blocker exists.

I live in Canada, not sure if it is only available in certain countries?

Thanks

When using Firefox, some web sites ask for consent. I tried opening the same sites using the Edge browser, and none of them ask for consent. Is there a setting somewhere in Firefox that controls this? Thx.

On settings >Data manage t I am getting to many cookies. I feel that the tracking protection is not working normal in protecting me. I like to use the Firefox browser but I don’t like it when I see way too many cookies showing up in Data management. Can this be corrected?

firefox momentarily shows cookie preference, then the dialog box disappears.

If I enter trouble shoot mode then the popup box appears long enough for me to accept cookies, but given the momentary popup sometimes is so fast you miss it, I have no idea if that is the cause of some sites not working.

Issue 1 faced on both desktop and mobile: If I go from one site to another, the previous site is able to embed tracker in it. Example: 1) Go to territorial.io . 2) through the ublock origin extension, see that there are no trackers or connection to third party. 3) now go to reddit.com . 4) In url type territorial.io and press enter. now check ublock and notice that reddit tracker is there. 5) Most concerning is that even search engine does that. for example go to duckduckgo and type territorial. click on the link and the duckduckgo tracker will be there. The "privacy respecting" search engine embeds its tracker to a shit ton of websites clicked through it. Not an expert but doesn't this violate something like same origin policy?

Issue 2 faced at least on mobile: private browsing means all cookie and stuff is deleted when the private session is closed, but: for example: 1) go to private mode. 2) go to monkeytype.com. 3) reject or accept the cookie. 4) close the browser. now it should be wiped but 5) open browser (private tab opens by default) 6) go to monkeytype.com again. a lot of times it will not ask for the cookie banner. 7) close the browser and go there again. 8) now it will ask again. I have noticed similar behavior in a lot of websites, where they remember who I am. But as soon as I open the browser and close it once, the cookie/session is truly wiped. This does not happen every time, but a loooot of time.

Thank you.

P.S. why the hell is this website using googletagmanager and sentry??? use something like https://plausible.io/ if you have to. sentry themselves use https://plausible.io/

I can not stop the google prompt to sign in with google on every page on Firefox. This is annoying and invasive enough that I am considering dropping Firefox. I enjoy every thing about Firefox but this is driving me to distraction. Please give me a way to stop this.
