I run G-mail in a Firefox tab. It worked perfectly until 48 hours ago. Now I cannot attach any files to my emails, and Gmail's "Help" is useless. Is there anything in FF which could be preventing this? Any clues as to why GM has turned nasty?

I went to check one of my gmail messages and when I opened youtube in another tab It had me signed into youtube with the email I was checking!! what the F**K is this? I didn't want it to sign in with that, it's not only frustrating but I could see for people on public computers having major privacy issues with this. How can I NOT have it sign into youtube automatically when I used gmail? Those are two different things for me with different purposes. It's super frustrating and a breech of privacy, very upsetting.

I am using a primary password. However the password is required when I open Firefox as well as for password protected websites I visit. Is there a way to not have to put in the primary password every time I open Firefox? I feel duplicate protection is unnecessary and time consuming.

Thank you.

What does Firefox' integrated fingerprinting blocker exactly block? Aka "do I still benefit from CanvasBlocker"?

Hi again,

so, in my other question I was reminded about Browserleaks and while I was there testing TLS I also tested Canvas and it said 100% unique which I was surprised because I have the Enhance Protection in FF in "Custom" with both fingerprinting options selected and in "in all windows", plus CanvasBlocker.

100% unique is not good, right? That's what I thought at first. But then I remembered, CanvasBlocker rotates settings all the time, so even if my fingerprint is 100% unique it's also changing all the time which means "they" can't identify me (supposedly). Then I also thought "actually it might be better than not 100% unique because in that case I might have more issues with websites thinking that it's someone else trying to access my account". But then I thought "although if it's 100% unique changing all the time it's also like if it was a different person".

I deactivated CanvasBlocker and tested again and it was also 100% unique. Then I reactivated CanvasBlocker and I deactivated FF's anti-fingerprint. Again 100% unique. In other words, I don't see a way to see what is the difference between using CanvasBlocker on top of the native FF anti-fingerprint. That's where you can help :)

So, questions.

1) can you tell me what exactly does FF block about fingerprinting? And, does it rotate settings like CanvasBlocker so that this "100% unique" is not actually a real issue because it's different every time? Or is it a bad kind of 100% unique in that case?

2) what would create less issues of websites thinking that I am not me? A rotating 100% unique, or a not 100% unique (in which case, how to I achieve that, considering that neither CanvasBlocker nor FF's anti-fingerprint nor both together can do that?).

Would you say that having a VPN with own DNS which block tracking on a domain level, plus AdGuard with all possible filters, plus FF's Enhanced Protection in "Custom" with all at max, plus CanvasBlocker, is a good combo? Or what could I improve to reach a good balance of not being tracked/fingerprinted, not being blocked "because I am not me", reasonably light resources usage, and reasonable browsing speeds?

I used uBlock Origin previously because it's lighter on resources and it triggers my laptop's fans much less than AdGuard but it doesn't block (not even with element picker) some annoying things of websites that I visit often. In case you wanted to recommend that :)

Thanks!

I lost the tabs in all my groups, so I restored from a recent backup. It seemed to be going well - I saw the names of dozens of tabs rattling across the top of the screen - but when it had finished, the groups are all still empty.

This is disastrous. There were dozens of groups containing hundreds of tabs..

Any help would be hugely appreciated!

Thank you.
