I want to create a list of allowed web sites in settings/cookies&data/manage exceptions, but it seems I have to enter each site MANUALLY. I would like to do this more quickly and easily by just selecting sites in the "manage cookies" list and designating them as exceptions. Or is there already some other way to do this that I haven't found? Also, after I have made exceptions for all my important sites, by whatever means, can I assume that I can press "delete all" in the "manage cookies" list and the allowed sites will not have cookies removed? What happens to exceptions if I select "delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed?" If there is no way to make exceptions other than manually, I respectively request that some convenient method be added to the program. Thanks for any response.

I come, trying to manage my disappointment and anger, to say only one thing: I love Firefox, it (still) has the best UX of any modern browser. And part of that is that it has NO AI malware built into it. The recent statements from the CEO regarding the implementation of AI into the browser is extremely disappointing, to the point of it feeling like a personal betrayal, and will only make me (and a lot of other people) just completely abandon it. And don't kid yourselves, your user base never was so low, and that user base only like this browser specifically because it has no malware built into it, because of the privacy and open nature you had before this debacle. You're shooting yourselves on booth feet and an arm with a shotgun. I don't trust you as a company anymore at all; you just achieved the complete opposite of what you said you wanted. If you just made use of reverse psychology and was that's your actual goal, congrats. This company quite literally couldn't have elected a worse person to be chief executive.

Hello:

I'm not certain if this question comes under Firefox or not:

How do you stop a specific computer software program-app pop-up notification (popping out from the lower right corner of your computer)?

As an example, I have a utility program, IOBIT Malware System Care that pops-up various notifications such as "update notice," "renew," "discount sale" or whatever notice or ads that is 'pushed'.

-I went to my Windows 11 list of installed app "notifications" and this program is not listed. -I tried contacting tech support but they haven't responded. -I went to Firefox 'Settings' -> Privacy & Security->Permissions and then I opened up 'Exceptions' to see if I can block something. It wants me to put in a specific website. The issue is not a website but coming within a software / app program.

So how and where do I stop a "pushed' notification? I assume it's coming in via my browser / Firefox?

Thank you in advance,

Steven

The only reason I have been using firefox all this time because it does not use ai features and has more trustworthy policies for user data.

How to disable Enhanced Tracking Protection on all sites and for every FF session. Choosing Custom, and deselecting all check boxes doesn't work.

I have tried the suggestions as described in the following article: https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1273784 However, am still having the issue. It's as if the settings are totally ignored. I am using version 108.0a1 of Firefox developer edition. Ideally what am trying to achieve is away to disable all features of ETP. I figured setting it to custom with all values unchecked would have done the trick but it's not working. What works is if I add the site to the list of Exceptions for Enhanced Tracking Protection, then I will see all Ads loaded just fine on the page. However, this is not viable for me as I have a large list of sites that I visit, and I need to see the ads on them.

Does anyone know of a way to get around this feature in FF?

Is there another setting am missing from the previous article?

Up until 6 months ago I was easily able to access all my bank accounts on line using Firefox. I can still access others but not Capital One 360 on line banking. When I try to access Capital One I just get the message that " there has been snag and to try again" which does not work. So I can access my Capital One account only thru Google Chrome. Capital One says that the reason is that Firefox does not update their security setting to the level they require. Can anyone tell me if this is the problem or if there is some other reason why I can no longer use Firefox to access this account.

Anthony Enzor-DeMeo wants to push way more AI onto Firefox. I originally became a Firefox user for the customizability, privacy, and security it offered in comparison to other browsers. How does Mozilla Firefox intend to maintain these features with so much AI slop? Will there continue to be versions of Firefox available without the AI components? I'm sick of having to turn off new data-stealing AI settings all the time on a browser I once trusted. I hate that I am now looking for other options.

This isn't so much a question as a complaint, I guess. Get your shit together, Firefox!!!

When will Gecko-based Firefox Android increase the number of default search engines in 2025?

Currently it hosts only Big Tech namely Google and Microsoft Bing and DuckDuckGo, which is Bing and MSN results in DuckDuckGo and Qwant (same Bing results) latter which works only in the UK.

I'm using Gecko-based browsers like Fenix and Mull and Iceraven, and they all come with like 5 to 10 search engine options.

Adding new search engines is a mess and doesn't sync with Firefox account settings, so futile efforts.

Even Chrome allows us to select our search engine, if we are visiting it too much.

Is Firefox really privacy based browser or just Big Tech in Firefox like Google as default search engine out of the box, no asking which the XYZ user wants?

Which data are stored in "User Data" and how to clear this kind of stored data? When deleting data in the privacy settings in Firefox, the "User Data" storage is still unchanged. Also "Cache" is not cleared completely.

The "User Data" raises up to 1GB. It is only possible to clear it by completely wiping all data via "Clear Storage" but then everything is wiped, also all Firefox settings etc. "Clear Cache" obviously only wipes the Cache.

I use Firefox because it has better privacy and it's faster/more lightweight than other browsers. Now, more and more AI features are showing up, which harm both privacy and efficiency. If I wanted AI in my browser, I would go use any other browser.

I look at porn on my Android phone. I use Private Browsing to do so. Why are my Private Browsing addresses appearing as Firefox Suggest results that appear outside of Private Browsing as well? And why does Pornhub show me a personalized home page when I'm using Private Browsing? None of these pages are in my browser history because I've only accessed them via Private Browsing. But these "features" sort of defeat the purpose of it don't you think?

I've just switched from Chrome to Firefox and never had this issue with Chrome.

I just want to say that if Firefox goes through with this AI bs, I will promptly be finding a new browser. The whole point of me using Firefox is it is the best browser for privacy, which I care about greatly. AI integration and personal privacy are mutually exclusive; they can't exist without each other. So do not become an "AI browser," or whatever the CEO called it. It is only going to kill a great product that is basically the only thing stopping google from having a web browser monopoly.
