How to use FireFox as incognito without sending my identification tracking information? I have read a bunch of information about privacy with Mozilla and am quite confused.

I would like instructions that are simple to understand and implement.

I have heard that when some airlines know that you are looking for tickets ... the ticket prices are increased when you go to their website over time and time again.

Thank you

I just learnt that the mozilla firefox terms of service have been either updated, or previously included, a clause of sorts that states that any content uploaded to mozzilla is automatically given a royalty free worldwide license to mozilla itself. Does this apply to content such as add-ons only or does it apply to things uploaded to other websites(such as social media, forums, etc)

I keep getting pop-ups in the right lower corner from "mozilla firefox" (not sure if they are legit). They will say: "zeus.2020 trojan detected" or "virus detected" or "system is infected", etc. All have "Mozilla Firefox" in the upper left of the pop-up, and "via rgfirewall.xyz" at the bottom. Is this truly legit, or is it just a nuisance? I've just been closing them with the x or dismiss buttons.

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?

Hello

What are the restricted sites in the Firefox extension details? What are the sites restricted by Mozilla, as referred to on the page https://support.mozilla.org/pl/kb/dlaczego-niektore-dodatki-nie-sa-dozwolne-na-stronach-ograniczonych-przez-mozille?as=u&utm_source=inproduct#firefox:win10:fx135 ?

I keep experiencing this problem with different websites: Safari works, Firefox doesn't.

Sample: I turned out the enhanced tracking protection, Privacy is set to Standard for

https://search.ccb.state.or.us/search/default.aspx

I entered valid license numbers (230880, 239798). Firefox displays NOTHING, no error message. Safari displays the relevant info.

Why is this and what should I do if I want to continue using Firefox? Thanks.

I received an email from breach-alerts@mozilla.com and wanted to know if this is from Mozilla or a scam.

It said it was from Mozilla Monitor and that I was part of a breach

Why is my browser stating that it is managed by my organisation.

I have never used it fr work and it is my personal laptop. Please kindly provide steps to remove this

How might I become a trusted SSL certificate issuer? You guys have really been shaking things up the past few years, so that certificates have been the biggest pain in the ass of all time. Do I have to reinvent the entire internet just to sell products online? My 4096 bit SSL certificates generated with openssl have 8x more robust encryption than most of the bilge on the internet, and in a lot of cases, 16x more robust encryption, but your browsers shoot everything down -- literally everything.

People have to make money, guys -- you don't really understand. Nobody cares about your "world view." I don't do business with any of you, you're not the government, I need a secure encrypted website to sell online, but you won't stop complaining that my SSL certificates are somehow "untrusted." I think you have mistaken "untrusted" for "uncrackable by current state of the art," because rumor has it that Google's quantum computer has difficulty cracking 2048 bit SSL certificates.

Why do you need to crack everybody's website encryption anyway? Are you trying to intercept financial transactions? How does that make you more trustworthy than me who doesn't hack anyone? I just want to sell my products in an online storefront. I think you guys really need to get off of your moral high horse, because you seem like the enemy to just about everyone I've ever talked to in my life.

Don't be surprised when I release my own browser and start blocking your crappy 256 bit SSL certificates for being inferior and "insecure." I've kind of had it with Firefox, Chromium, Chrome, Edge, etc... It seems like a colossal waste of time for me to have to release my own damned browser just to sell a freaking t-shirt online in America. This is really capitalism at its worst.

Hi,

I saw that firefox deleted all of its language about not selling user data and that has me concerned. I chose to use firefox in a large part because I did not want my data to be sold and this change has me preparing to change browsers this week. Can you please offer a thorough explanation about why firefox is going back on a policy that it once claimed it "never have and never will"? How is my data being used, sold, and profited off of by firefox with this change? Is there a way for me to opt out of my data being sold?

After last update Firefox will not open my Weebly website editor.

It keeps telling me that Firefox will not allow the page to be displayed if another site has embedded it. It advises me to open the link in a new window.

This does not work - I get the same error message. I need to be able to edit my website! Can anyone help, please?

Good morning

MFA does not work, does not ask for authentication, login to o365 why is this happening

Please assist or advise why Firefox seems to be slowing down my system by memory usage. I have a handful (6) of tabs open on 1 browser session and my system started slowing down so I checked my task manager and it shows that I have more than a dozen of Firefox instances open chewing up almost 90% of my memory.

Please assist or advise me on how to tweak my browser to perform better, and not to show ghost instances

Attempting to upgrade and recommission an old HP laptop not used in several years. Currently running Firefox Version 41.0.1

Any queries to legitimate websites such as Google or Mozilla, return a "This Connection is Untrusted" display screen. Firefox security settings have been changed to lowest security, and problem persists.

It isn't that Firefox isn't reaching the websites... it's that some security setting recognizing the security certificates (like Mozilla's) is broken... and I can't get past it... even to be able to download a new browser version.
