I am trying to free up some disc space, so I ran Disk Cleanup, but no improvement.

It shows over 430MB Temporary Internet Files, all of which are under a padlock icon. The size just keeps on increasing from day to day.

How can I remove some or all these Temporary Internet Files and regain disc space?

I tried looking up a few things in the FAQ for (Firefox for IOS,)… updates… but unfortunately, it WILL NOT SHOW ME any of those articles (I think it showing that there are 4 articles there to read). But when I click them, nothing. Is it being blocked or how do I read them? I feel an idiot when I use ANY of my phones!

The below image is supposed to be a page to help me change my email for “Cash App”. It’s saying I can’t use my: “chambers67@myyahoo.com” email address.

Firefox uses Google to search & then it asks me, do you want to open this in Firefox… I have been using an Android & it comes up as 2 separate phones. (One for when I use Samsung Internet & one for when I’m using chrome/google..?????)

I don’t know what’s going on, but someone is either hacking my emails through Google or through my phone #. My Google maps doesn’t even go on the roads I walk or drive on. It shows be cutting across fields & driving over or through buildings. Not just when I’m in my car, but anywhere I go & with whomever.

Hi, I had an addon installed through github and I had to realise today it vanished without a trace. Not from github, its still there. I just reinstalled it. Vanished from my browser. With all my settings. Non of the firefox addon store addons were affected by the way.

My question thus: What the fuck and how do I prevent that from happening again?

I had a website that possibly phished me in my Firefox browser. I was in a webpage, and I had a full screen McAfee notification for a possible malware and asked to start a scan. I wasn't fully realizing what was happening and I did so. I was able to get out of the full screen mode and realized it was the webpage I was on but wasn't the same page I had been on previously. I started getting security popups as if Microsoft was issuing them, but I couldn't close them, and they all had links to follow. I killed the internet connection, tried repairing Firefox and still got the pop ups. So, I uninstalled Firefox and that stopped the popups. Can you tell me if there are any current security vulnerabilities with Firefox and can you tell me if there is a record of what my Firefox browser downloaded and installed on my computer?

Hi all, thanks for volunteering your expertise here. FireFox doesn't allow me to open my printer's configuration home page on my local IP4 network. I failed to find where to add a possible exception for such an address. Error message contains: "This web site might not support the TLS 1.2 protocol, which is the minimum version supported by Firefox."

I don't think my printer/scanner is a significant security risk to me.

Any solutions, other than replacing a perfectly fine printer?

Cheers, Hans

Now that Mozilla/Firefox have joined Google on the dark side, who is everyone switching to? I would like something that works well in both Windows and android. I hear Opera can't be trusted and I don't like how there are like 6 difference versions of Opera in the android app store. DuckduckGo is just badly made IMO. Edge causes some glitches with one of the sites I use most. Should I try Brave? I just want a browser to BROWSE the web. I don't want AI. I don't need a VPN or adblock built in. I don't want a "gamer" browser. A decent local password manager would be nice but I don't want to have to make an account to use it. I know if the product is free, you are the product, so I would almost prefer a browser you pay for but oddly that doesn't seem to be a popular option. Probably because the user data the companies collect makes them more money then people would be willing to pay. Sad times. I miss the 90's.

I regularly receive email advice (via Thunderbird) from companies to access my account with them.

Two days ago I selected a link to direct me to the secure form. I note that the exact same link has been provided to me in the past and opened. This time however I was confronted with "Invalid Address".

I was advised to copy the link into another browser; I chose "Edge" and the form opened.

I have cleared FireFox's "Recent History" but that still gives no joy.

How do I overcome this?

Is there something in a configuration file that I might edit, or a potentially corrupt Windows Registry entry?

I do not use any Windows Security depending upon Bitdefender (which has never created any issues of this nature).

Hello Since the last update I have not been able to sign in to Government sites using my bank as a sign in partner. I am able to sign in using Google Chrome but I prefer Firefox for my daily browser. I have cleared cache and all data and am still unable to sign in. I am using Version 137.0.1 (64-bit)

Your help will be appreciated.
