I have just reactivated a (duplicate) computer which I have only used 2 or3 times in the last year. I have been asked to re-input my Firefox password. Now it wants me to sync Firefox with my (android) phone.

For some reason, Firefox has not been installed on my phone, although other browsers that I have never previously heard of seem to have auto-installed themselves.

I have tried to download the "no fuss" version of Firefox, but it is asking for credit card details. Other browsers allowed me to skip this step, but Firefox will not allow me to proceed, and does not provide a "skip" facillity.

I ABSOLUTELY REFUSE to allow my credit card details to be stored on my phone or in a browser. Storing the credit card data would not confer any advantage, because I have multiple credit cards, and I select the card for each transaction according to my location, the currency being billed, and whether the card offers cashback or loyalty points for the type of transaction I am making.

Has anybody else encountered this problem ?

Possible privacy issue with Spanish governative tool Autofirma

In order to digitally sign legal documents on a governative web portal, I've been obligated to install and use this Spanish governative tool on my win pc: https://autofirma.net/ My concern is about the fact that the Autofirma tool uses its own dialog to acquire Firefox Primary Password. So my question addressed to Firefox developers: since Autofirma acquire the Primary Password, can it also access my stored passwords? Or the use of Primary Password by Autofirma is limited to invoke Firefox?

When will Gecko-based Firefox Android increase the number of default search engines in 2025?

Currently it hosts only Big Tech namely Google and Microsoft Bing and DuckDuckGo, which is Bing and MSN results in DuckDuckGo and Qwant (same Bing results) latter which works only in the UK.

I'm using Gecko-based browsers like Fenix and Mull and Iceraven, and they all come with like 5 to 10 search engine options.

Adding new search engines is a mess and doesn't sync with Firefox account settings, so futile efforts.

Even Chrome allows us to select our search engine, if we are visiting it too much.

Is Firefox really privacy based browser or just Big Tech in Firefox like Google as default search engine out of the box, no asking which the XYZ user wants?

Hello, I am receiving phone calls and emails from contacts in my current address book stating that my email has been hacked. Someone is sending them emails stating that my company has changed their ACH accounting numbers. I need to resecure my account and I have started by changing passwords, however, I am not receiving emails that are currently being sent to me. I assume those are being rerouted to whomever has hacked my account. Can you please advise on how I should proceed? Thanks

I recently installed Firefox. Now I get highly suspect popups in the lower right corner of the screen labelled "Mozilla Firefox" but from "c.togetherloveme.buzz". I certainly hope that Mozilla is not complicit in this, and in any event want these popups to end.

Previously the "copy without site tracking" was highlighted and accessible in privacy mode but now I see it as 'not highlighted' or 'turned-off' in privacy mode. What would cause that change when I haven't made any Privacy or Security Setting changes? So basically, 'How do I get the - copy without site tracking - to reactivate in Privacy mode (or at any time really)? Sincerely, Michael Addison

Guten Tag, ich habe soeben eine einmalige Spende überwiesen. Wahrscheinlich hat die Überweisung per Kreditkare funktioniert. Dabei wunderte mich, dass ich, obwohl ich bei meiner Bank die 2-Faktor-Authentifizierung aktiviert habe, meine Banking-Sicherheit-App keine Bestätigung verlangte. Bei andern Überweisungen auf diversen Webseiten funktionierte das stets. Unterstützt Thunderbird Mozilla die 2-Faktor-Identifizierung nicht? Das wäre schade. Und ich habe keine Gefühl dabei.

Mit freundlichem Gruß Michael Mintel
