Hi! I have seen that Mozilla will be moving forwards with integrating AI to Firefox. I am very uncomfortable with this, as AI poses a risk to the privacy and security that made me choose Firefox in the first place. If this is the case and AI is truly integrated (at least without an option to turn it off or opt-out completely) I will no longer use this browser and switch to something else. I enjoy Firefox so I am hoping that this will not be necessary....but we will see.

When using Firefox and clicking on a link oftentimes instead of the link opening in Firefox it opens Microsoft Edge. I have Firefox set as my default browser. Other than uninstalling Microsoft Edge is there any other solution to this problem? My OS is Windows 11 Pro.

For MONTHS now I have been unable to log into my BANK & ONLY my BANK.

EVERY TIME I try to log in I keep getting booted to the DAM "secure sign up" page!

Each month I have to get ANOTHER "temporary" passwords so I can get to my account & the next month I CAN'T LOG IN AGAIN & AGAIN I have to go through the entire routine again, temporary password, make up another new password over & over again!!!!!!!!!! I am sick & very tired of this, I only have problems with my BANK log in, no other site, just MY BANK! I suspect the problem is with FIREFOX not the bank. I don't want to use "Edge" because it's CRAP!

It's 2025, and the only way to select an audio output device when using Google Meet seems to be to change the system's default.

Assuming you listen to music during your day, from your PC, this means switching back and forth a few times during the day, just to switch meeting audio output to the headset for calls.

This doesn't seem to be a problem for Google Chrome (or derivatives). You can choose an audio device there in the web application, and it does remember this over sessions. Awesome.

Guess what I am using for Google Meet then. Not Firefox.

I really like Firefox. I do support Firefox. Also financially. But seeing all kinds of efforts into AI, VPN and other stuff I don't use and care about, but having a basic browser feature missing, I really wonder if that's the right decision.

So please, whoever prioritizes stuff: get the basics, the daily features, working smoothly, before venturing off on new hipster stuff. Because if you miss out on the basics of the browser, you might end up with neither an accepted browser, nor any new hipster stuff.

I use Dropbox every day. I always access in the Firefox browser. As of yesterday, when I open Dropbox, it inidicates that it knows its me (I am logged in - upper right hand corner) but it will not connect. Did I accidently change a setting? Your help would be greatly appreciated. FYI. I can access like normal using Safari but I would prefer to keep using Firefox. Thanks. Dave

I read the FAQ about this feature. I read this about whether the stories are personalized to me:

... When personalization does occur, recommendations rely on a process of story sorting and filtering that happens locally in your personal copy of Firefox.

But there is no place that tells me how to turn this off if I don't want the stories personalized to me, and I do not want them personalized. The algorithms make assumptions about what I want to read and learn. But I want to be free to encounter and learn things that I might not otherwise come across.

How can I avoid being pigeonholed and limited in this way?

I have periodically popups with Firefox.

I tried to block popups with the following procedure :
   click on "parametres"
   in the left of the window, click on  "vie privée et sécurité"
   look for "permissions" 
   ask for blocking  popups

After all this, I still have popups. What should I do ? Thanks in advance Francis Prusker

Just recently on Macys website I have started getting access denied messages. I can get onto the site itself but if I click on a product it gives me the access denied when trying to open in new window. Im able to open in edge. Ive cleared Firefox cookies/cache as well as macys restarted and still cant open products links. This is what I get:

Access Denied You don't have permission to access the requested URL on this server.

Even with just 1 tab open, Firefox is killing my laptop battery.

Win 11 PC laptop.

In background, it is using 40% to 50% of the laptop battery. I need much better performance from it. I have already turned off any settings I can find regarding Firefox's background functions. When I quit Firefox I want it completely off.

How can I do that?
