Firefox Community Forum

Recently transferred from Chrome. My understanding was Firefox private browsing was supposed to work similarly to chrome incognito mode; once you close the browser, all local files are deleted and cookies are cleared.

However, with Firefox it maintains my logins. If I log into an account while private browsing and the close the browser, I’ll still be logged in next time I go to the website even if it’s days later (and I have never logged into this account in a non-private browsing window!)

I never had this issue using chrome incognito, so it seems to be a Firefox problem.

Is this just not something Firefox supports? Is there any way to prevent storage of cookies and private data?

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.

I have a question about using Firefox PDF Editor. I copied some text from a PDF document that is on my computer, by highlighting the text and then hitting Ctrl+C. The text copied onto my clipboard OK. Then I opened a blank PDF document in the Firefox PDF Editor and tried to paste that text into the blank document, but I wasn't able to do so because when I right-clicked on the blank document and then clicked on "paste", nothing happened. This apparently is because the word "paste" is faded-out in the drop-down menu (i.e., it does not appear in prominent bold print). Google's Artificial Intelligence seems to indicate that the technique I used would work (see screenshot which I've uploaded). But it didn't work, so can anyone please tell me how can I paste text into that blank document?

I would like to inspect the data that would be removed if I checked the "Settings for Clearing History > Data: Site settings"

From earlier experimentation, I observed that checking that box removes some persistence data that the ChatGPT web site uses, for instance. I also observed that it removes "Exceptions - Cookies and Site Data" that I have entered (not sure why, because it's data I typed, not data that the web sites are saving on my machine).

But the question is what steps are performed on what tables in the current user's profile folder. If not all contents are removed from a folder, please specify what the deletion criteria are.

I signed up & paid for Mozilla Monitoring Premium. I get monthly reports from then, but when I click on "automatically delete data from brokers," I'm asked to sign up for Premium again. Please help.

As creator of retroonline.net. We recently noticed Firefox have limited value size in IDB which Chrome and Edge do not have. This limitation prevents big games running on Firefox despite Firefox has the best performance on WASM. Will there be a proper way to change this limitation or plan to remove it?

Every time I change the settings in the image attached, once I close the browser, the settings are reversed back. My changes do not persist if Firefox closes or my PC turns off. My other settings persist when I make changes. I only get this error when I try to edit the Privacy settings.

What is causing this, and how can I stop it?

Windows 11 Home Firefox up to date with 140.0.4 (64-bit)

When I log in to my account at https://my.noip.com/ and display my dashboard there is a constantly displayed banner across the top of the page that says:

FireFox prevented this page from automatically reloading - Allow

when I click Allow the page just reloads with the same banner

What setting can I change to get rid of this banner?

I am trying to set up an MMDVM Pi-Star DMR Hotspot for Amateur Radio. The address for the device is http://pi-star. What do I need to do to get https-only mode 100% disabled? The device that I am trying to set up is: Radioddity RHS-H1 MMDVM Hotspot | OLED Screen | Raspberry Pi-Zero W | Support P25/DMR/D-STAR/YSF/NXDN | UHF VHF WiFi Digital Voice Modem | 16G TF Card

I am using Firefox version 140.0.2 on PCLinucOS Debian (Bookworm) Edition.

Hello, I think I may have asked about this in the past but cannot recall if I received an answer. Under Settings, I get the message "Your browser is being managed by your organization." This is my home computer and is not being managed by any organization. When I click for more information, it gives me a screen with the following information:

Policy Name Certificates

Policy Value ImportEnterpriseRoots

                         true

If I could get more information on this suspected error, or how to correct it, that would be great. Thanks!

Some sites do not work correctly even if I select Custom and uncheck the boxes there, but these sites work in Google Chrome. One of the examples is the Twitch site. It's not displayed correctly in some places and there are probably other sites. I wouldn't want to add these sites manually, because personally I don't see any point in it for myself. I really hope that Mozilla has provided the ability to completely disable this function using standard tools (settings or about:config), without installing any extensions.

Thank you!

I have accounts that will not work because they cannot access my location, My computer says all access is allowed, so is there something in Firefox that blocks my location?

Why when I view a site in a private window are the cookies saved in the cookies and site data list on the privacy and security page of my main firefox pages. I though when you used private windows no cookies or history was saved once you closed the page.

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
