I'm reading an email from Wired Magazine. Every so often, instead of the photo Wired wants to show me, i get this message: "To honor your privacy preferences, this content can only be viewed on the site it originates from."

Please tell me what privacy preference this message refers to, and what I can do to get rid of it. Can I enter "Wired magazine" into some list somewhere of people that send me email who I believe are not sending me poisoned links, or should I simply use Chrome, or Bing, or whatever to read my email? Alternatively, could you please change your message or otherwise tell me what privacy setting I need to change?

Hello Firefox community,

Today I was trying to write a message and needed to change the language for spellchecki9ng a bunch of times and got super annoyed by the fact that Although I use 3 languages in my every day live I cant find a way to remove all the other dialects that I nether use nor will use ever like English (Zambia) or Spanish (Guatemala).

Is there a way to have only a few and not all 20+? I use:

  • Spanish (Spain)
  • Catalan (Valencia)
  • English (United Kingdom) / (US)

Thanks.

I'm using Firefox v114.0.2 as a RPM in Fedora 38 I've also added some pictures for y'all to see

Someone interfered with my work, their bookmarks are getting synced to mine and having difficulties

Hello moz://a,

I trust that this finds you in good faith,

My name is Kyle Santowski, I got dismissed from work in December and started focusing my attention on computers and the understanding thereof. I purchased the domain heartofstoneclothing.com using my Samsung A21s and my credit card.

I was visiting a friend at the time who offered the use of his computer to me as a kind gesture. I have been residing on the friends property since January and have been using that device up until recently. With my provident fund I purchased a laptop and have been using it since to recover most of my work.

My work got intercepted the day ICANN's 60 day holding period was over, since it wasn't my computer I had no say over it. In South Africa we have a problem with consistent power outages known as load shedding, long story short; I woke up from an extended nap to watch my work get taken and redirected.

I have had major 4 major confrontations with my friend, Gary, whether or not he was snooping through my files. Ive been lied to in my face 4 times, been sworn at, had pots and pans thrown at me for falsely accusing him. I let it go due to alternate accommodation difficulties. At the risk of losing my work completely I have allowed friend to run around the part my browser he gained access to. I might have unknowingly given it up, or at least part of it since it was not my computer.

In these altercations I have been chased away, but i could not leave my work on that computer. Not having access to an external hard drive and no time I mass dumped everything anywhere i could find space; My OneDrive, GoogleDrive, Dropbox. At the time i had just came across MDN after working on Firefox for the first time and exploring its glories.

I have bookmarks that don't belong to me in my bookmarks toolbar, there is personal information that is not mine getting sent to me and I have had to manage this person and his websites while sacrificing my own. I'm not entirely sure how to separate our work without, because the bookmarks i delete reappear every time and I no longer wish to use the old device.

I herewith kindly ask that i could receive some assistance with the issue, this situation has messed my brain up for months and I finally have an understanding of what i need to do, but I am quite new to working with software and can't afford to let it go askew.

Firefox, This website discounttire.com seems to be the only site I cannot load. I tried it another browser and it worked fine. I have also tried clearing the DNS cache, resetting my firewall and turning off all my extensions. I don't remember what else I have tried as I can't remember everything. I am also using FF 114.0.2 and the free Avast antivirus. Please let me know what I can do to try and fix this issue. It's not that big a deal as I can use another browser, it just bothers me when things don't work right and I can't figure out how to fix them. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

I created an account today and let Firefox generate a password, clicked save and everything seemed normal. but when i went to login on another devise and pulled up the password i find is my SSN.

I am baffled how this happened. Why is it not designed it automatically save the created password when creating the password? Why and How did it find and save my SSN? I don't understand how the computer messed that up, I created and saved the password then I gave my information including my SSN to finish creating my account. Then the last step to create the account was to download the app and login on my phone. So I go to my Logins and passwords and find the password it saved was my SSN not the random password it created the account with.

I don't know what to do, probably have to start over if it cannot be recovered. But I want to complain about about Firefox picking out my SSN. Failing to save the password is one thing, But replacing it with my SSN is wrong. And i do not think I made a mistake here when all I did was click two buttons, create password and save password. they popped up one after the other I clicked them both in seconds from one another. My SSN was not on the page at the time, I created and saved the password and gave my SSN in different steps one before the other. I cannot rationalize how this happened.

When I try to navigate to multiple Canadian University sites, Firefox reroutes me to my own university's libraries page For example, when I typed ualberta.ca into the address bar it went to https://login.uml.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://ualberta.ca/. This is U of Manitoba's libraries page

This happens whether I go straight through typing into the address bar, clicking a link in a google search, or a link in another website. How do I make it stop defaulting to this page?

When I try to bookmark a page, I expect to see "Bookmark current tab" and when I click that, to be offered 1) to put it in the same place that the last bookmarked page was put 2) or, alternatively, to be given a choice of locations.

This is what happens on one of my two laptops.

On the other laptop, I am not offered a choice of locations. I am simply forced to bookmark the new page in the location where the previous bookmark that I made is, and I then have to go to "Edit This Bookmark" and move the new bookmark from the location where it currently sits, to the location that I want. This is clunky and inconvenient.

How can I configure this second laptop to behave like the other laptop?

Hello!

I´m using this addon in Firefox:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/double-click-image-download/?utm_source=addons.mozilla.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=search

But when I double click to download a picture, it gets no extension, it is a blank file. To watch the picture, I have to manually change to .jpg

I contacted the addons support and they told me the issue is in Firefox webbrowser and not in the addon.

How do I solve this ?

Cheers //Andreas

So, I've seen many apps that looked like they'd be helpful one way or another. (The latest was Malware Browser Guard.) When I click to install them, I'm warned that I'll be allowing the app to read what I enter, change things, etc. When I read more it sounds more reasonable -- it sounds like that at each step I'll be asked if I give permission for the app to read or edit -- the implication being read this specific page or edit this particular entry.

So by downloading these apps am I giving blanket authority to them to monitor my every click and keystroke or am I only telling the browser that I might want them to be able to do these things, but I need to be informed first when they are actively seeking to do something so I can decide whether to allow it at that point?

I don't suppose I have any guarantee that any software I use isn't collecting my userids, passwords, sites I visit, email I write, etc. -- but when I'm specifically warned I am authorizing a program to read what I enter, etc. it gives me pause. It's one thing to not know, another to say, no problem, have at it.

I'd like to take advantage of what some of these apps purport to provide. I'm hoping for some reassurance about downloading ones from presumably reputable companies.

Thanks.

on win11 FF keeps resetting my left window adjustment , even though i keep changing it as far left as i can, it keeps changing it causing my bookmarks to display on the left side, i want them on the right. when i reset FF all the way to the left the (toolbar) bookmarks show on the left the way i want, but as soon as i close & reopen FF, it repositions the window again, then the bookmarks pop up on the right, not the left as i set it.

I really want to use Firefox as my default browser, and I am doing so now.

We use Motive (used to be KeepTruckin) as our electronic logging software for our truck drivers. When I log on to Motive, and go to schedules, the screen continues to roll, and the round arrow that goes round and round, keeps on going round and round.

I have contacted Motive support, and they advise using Google, which I do not want to do. However when I do use Google, all works as it should.

How can I fix this so that I can stay with Firefox? Charles Topping [removed phone# and email from public support forum] Thank you in advance for your assistance.
