Hello,

I disabled the AI summarizer almost immediately after seeing it because:

  1. It was not able to summarize the page
  2. It blocked the information I actually needed to see on the page

However, shortly after disabling it I got a pop-up ad advertising the feature! (attached)

On your homepage there are 24 news articles... is it asking too much to have 12 of them from non-far-left news agencies instead of the 20 far-left and 4 neutral? Or maybe you don't care about the 50+ percent of right leaning customers. Need a Bud-Light lesson?

Two days ago, I made my first post to these forums. Now I'm being spammed with "Congrats on your first forum reply!" emails from this website. I am getting a new one every hour and a half or so. There is no obvious thing to do in the email to stop this. How do I stop support.mozilla.org from spamming me?

www.usatoday.com Keeps sending notifications through Mozilla. when I click on "disable notifications" it only opens up a new tab to the site. I checked my homepage settings and as far as i know i have not installed a USA today extension. How do I make this go away? I would straight up block the domain if I knew how.

I found it in privacy /security> notifications and eliminated the website. This may have fixed the issue? I do not recall ever allowing the site to give notifications in the first place. is there a way to lock this domain out completely?

My browser (on a second device) is sending me messages that a Trojan has been discovered - will not stop so I uninstalled it. If I download a new browser will the same messages continue? Has this breached the whole of my Mozilla Firefox account?

I am not sure how the architecture works and to clear the other device.

Firefox for Mac, stop Apple's 2fa from popping up repeatedly in useless locations

[I am not sure this question is for Settings. None of the categories offered really seemed to fit this issue very well. Suggestions for re-posting are welcome.] On Firefox for Mac, Apple now has a pop up bubble to display the requested six digit 2FA number, first in the upper right corner, then, annoyingly, repeating often in multiple additional useless places on the screen, whether or not the code has already been used. The Apple community says there is no way to block this misbehavior through Apple, except disabling all 2FA, which is a bad idea. Is it possible to block the multiple appearances of 2fa code advisory bubble all over the place through Firefox controls? This problem reportedly does not appear on the native Mac Safari, nor reportedly on Chrome. I got to admit, I don't sign into Firefox, and not being forced to do so is a Firefox attraction for me. ]

See here.

This appears on almost every opening of the app. Clicking on "It's great!" asks me to leave a review on Play Store. Clicking on "I'm having issues" asks me to leave feedback at Mozilla Support forums. I don't want to do either, I just want the popup to go away and never return. I keep seeing it even after having already clicked both buttons several times.

I'm on the latest version (145.0.2).

The OS am currently using is High Sierra 10.13.6 CAN ANYONE HELP ME OUT HERE? Sorry to be such a klutz but these banners appear every day and I can't seem to access whatever it is that firefox is trying to communicate. Thanks all!

Warum kann man diesen §$%§ Download-beendet-Mist nicht abstellen? Seit JAHREN! wird darum gebeten und gefragt, doch was passiert? Nichts... Soll das toll sein? Finde ich nicht. Ich brauche keinen Hinweis, daß der DL beendet wurde, und noch viel weniger benötige ich Hilfe zum Öffnen der Datei. Für den einen oder anderen mag das ja hilfreich sein, mich behindert das im Gegenteil ungemein. Schön, daß man den Schiet 'wegwischen' kann, aber a) bin ich keine Putzfrau und b) kann man an dem Platz, wo der Müll vorher war, 20 Sekunden lang nichts machen. Nicht scrollen, nicht klicken, nix! Im Gegenteil, wenn man falsch zur Seite 'wischt', dann erscheint der Dreck wieder... *brech*! Zwanzig Sekunden! Wer zum Teufel denkt sich so ein Gedröse aus? Benötigt man dafür irgendeine Höchstqualifikation oder einen möglichst niedrigen IQ? (Ich frage das für nen Freund...) :P

Firefox WAR mal toll. Aber da about:config ja nun keine Funktion mehr hat, und man immer weniger einstellen kann - der Einstellungen-Button wurde ja auch schon ganz nach unten gelegt, so daß man den auf den ersten Blick schon gar nicht mehr sehen kann, erst wenn man in diesem Menü runterscrollt... - so langsam mag ich keinen FF mehr. Ja, ich bin nur eine einzelne Person, und wenn ich FF irgendwann nicht mehr benutzen sollte, tja, was solls, wen störts? Ich kann dann nur hoffen, daß genügend andere irgendwann auch die Schanauze voll haben und sagen: 'Adieu, war ne schöne Zeit'. Bis dahin werde ich mich verstärkt nach einem alternativen Browser umsehen; sollte ich einen finden, der (für meine Bedürfnisse) besser ist, wars das! (Ja ja, ich weiß, Reisende soll man nicht aufhalten und so, aber trotz allem mag ich den FF und würd nur ungern weggehen(Browser wechseln). Aber wie geschrieben, es wird schon seit Jahren gefragt und gebettelt, und nix passiert. Das ist - ehrlich gesagt - ein Armutszeugnis für jeden ernsthaften und versierten Programmierer/Softwareentwickler/Developer, einfach stumpf nicht auf die Wünsche der User einzugehen sondern stattdessen ihnen vorschreiben zu wollen, wie sie etwas zu benutzen haben, was sie toll zu finden haben etc.pp. Das ist auch der Grund, warum ich Updates mittlerweile meide wie der Teufel das Weihwasser - ständig andere ach-so-tolle 'Designs', runde Buttons, an Stellen verschoben, wo man im Leben nicht nach suchen würde usw. usf. etc.pp!)

Ich habe fertig!
