If Firefox cares so much about privacy, why is there no way to automatically delete website data upon exit, including the dozens of cookies not related to the sites I’ve visited, like I can do in the Linux and Windows versions? I have to manually go into data management to do so each time, or they never go away. Many of that website data sure does look like tracking company cookies. :-( TIA!

Hello! A little embarrassing but I used 123movies to watch a movie, and afterwards I keep getting a notification from my anti-virus software that says that 123movies wants to gain access or is active.

Dear sir/madam,

The new sepia reading mode cannot be turned off easily without compromising privacy. If i click to set it to dark mode through controls , the next page is sepia again. But if i use the fast way, by clicking on the icon next to the url, it turns my page from a https to a http. It feels like the feature is not supposed to work like that. Now i think about it, any page that by default is https is darkmode, but any page that is turned into an https is turned sepia or not https anymore. I get that it strains the eyes less and i am certainly not against the feature itself, but i do enjoy pictures and video's in full colour and for me personally, dark mode reads better.

In other words, i love it as a feature not as a default and i don't think it was meant as one, but it cannot be turned off right now.

Kind regards Jen.

Good morning - I wanted to set up two-factor authentication with your browser for security reasons. A code comes up that one uses with one's phone. I connected with it, but I couldn't finish setting up the 2FA. Here's the problem: My Samsung Note 20 Ultra has fingerprint scanning on the screen. Since I bought it, I tried using the fingerprint feature, but it is a beast to get my prints scanned and then it can hardly ever scan my print successfully. So I gave up using fingerprints altogether. So I scan your code, and it wants me to do the whole fingerprinting thing with my phone in order to set it up. It doesn't give me the option to use the security that I did choose to use with my phone. Please advise how I can get 2FA without doing all of this. Thanks. Ritva

Hello Mozilla community,

I've been a dedicated user of Firefox Focus for its privacy-centric browsing experience. However, I feel like I'm only scratching the surface of what this browser has to offer in terms of protecting my online privacy.

I'm interested in delving deeper into the privacy features that Firefox Focus provides. Could someone please share some insights on how to make the most of features like tracking prevention, automatic data clearing, and the overall enhanced privacy settings? Are there any lesser-known tips or settings I should be aware of?

Moreover, I'm curious about the compatibility of Firefox Focus with various platforms and devices. Does it function similarly across desktop and mobile? Are there any differences in terms of privacy features or settings between the two?

I believe that by learning more about Firefox Focus, I can take better control of my online privacy and security. Thank you for sharing your expertise and helping me make the most of this fantastic browser.

bold textReally don't think he can Google has given the hackers a false location certificate. Giving my IP address so when I login I may be in Little Rock Kansas City. But I'm always in Farmington Arkansas that it will never show. Google has given apps to help me not sync any of my data just only there's. Made it so I could not get rid of those apps. Having three email addresses two of them there's hidden. So you could actually just say I am pissing in the wind.

Hello

Is it possible to enable a password protection when starting the Firefox app on Android ? In special when saved passwords are used they are entered automatically and there is no additional protection of those when going on a website for which the password was saved. E.g. when somebody unlock your device the person is able to start Firefox and going through chronic or pages where you might enabled automatically password fill in. Can this be protected by pin or fingerprint?(like in the Firefox Password manager)

Thank you

I had an Amazon tablet stolen from me a couple weeks ago. A few days after it was stolen, I had Amazon lock the tablet, but I know that they had access at least to my Google and Amazon accounts which were logged in on the device.

It only recently occurred to me that all of my passwords are saved in Firefox. Would they have been able to open Firefox and view all of my passwords? Would they have been able to go to websites and after the password auto filled, click show password?

Are all of my passwords compromised? And do I need to start changing all of my passwords?
