I keep getting a opt-out\opt-in notice from Global Privacy control every couple hours. 1st. I've already opted out. 2nd. I went into about:config and set globalprivacycontrol to (true). 3rd. When I check the globalprivacycontrol.org website it states(GPC signal detected). See attached photos

What more do I have to do to stop this notice from popping up all the time.

I suffered a catastrophic crash and had to replace my computer, a mac. I replaced it with another mac.

Because the older one will not boot up, I could not migrate my firefox data.

I ended up doing 'lost password' for all my sites.

There are a couple where the lost password thing hasn't worked.

It occurred to me to rename the (new computer's) logins.json file, copy the old computer's logins.json file from my external backup drive, put it in new computer's /user/library/application support/firefox, and then look in preferences, get the two passwords I want, set things back, enter these passwords into firefox again.

This did not work. In fact, now no matter which file is named logins.json, preferences says I have NO passwords stored.

I cannot find anything that tells me how to just decrypt the .json files (at least, not in a step-by-step way that I can use.)

BUG Drag-dropping inside a document fails with Uncaught DOMException: The operation is insecure

When I start to drag a div to drop it in another div on the same page, it fails with the message:

"Uncaught DOMException: The operation is insecure.

   dragstart_handler http://127.0.0.1:5000/main.js:7"

This is main.js:

``` function dragstart_handler(event) {

   var t = event.target;
   while (! t.draggable == "true" && t.tagName != "BODY") {
       t = t.parentNode;
   };
   if (! t.draggable) return;
   event.dataTransfer.setData("application/x-moz-node", t);

... ```

All dragging goes inside the same document, so "The operation is insecure" shouldn't happen.

Also I get an empty string when trying to get the draggable data:

``` function drop_handler(event) {

   var t = event.target;
   const parent = t.parentNode;
   if (parent.id == "drag_area") {
       event.preventDefault();
       const data = event.dataTransfer.getData("application/x-moz-node");

Here's how I assign draggables and drop areas:

``` window.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", () => {

   const dragArea = document.getElementById("drag_area");
   dragArea.addEventListener("dragstart", dragstart_handler);
   dragArea.addEventListener("dragover", dragover_handler);
   dragArea.addEventListener("dragleave", dragleave_handler);
   dragArea.addEventListener("drop", drop_handler);

}); ```

HTML:

```

Drag this

```

Recently YT is barely loading videos with the message "if playback doesn't begin shortly, try restarting your device" or it simply stuck tried on edge and it doesn't happened can anybody help me diagnose this problem?

Restarting FF doesn't always work has to be done multiple times, and it soon breaks after browsing or restarting the browser

The grey bar on the player does load but the player never plays its just back

The text size in Worldle all of a sudden got very small. Same thing happened for two other word games I play. The problem doesn't happen in chrome. Did Firefox change the code? I've tried to enlarge the font but it doesn't help with the font inside the games' graphics. Appreciate any advice!
