Firefox Community Forum

All of a sudden my Apple laptop Firefox is responding VERY slowly. It takes about 10 seconds from hitting enter to any screen response. I've tried it with and without my VPN on, and there's been no changes to my Avast security software (that I know of). I've reviewed the settings/preferences without any clue about what is happening and what I could do to minimize it. I've run a speed check which resulted in 287 down and 190 up, so it's definitely NT my network.

For highly encrypted messages and sensitive information each time renewed or discovered for the first time cam be very intimidating for certain people. Based on the facts and past experiences, this has become extremely important to discuss and share knowledge with true and trustworthy people only to ours and others peace of mind and safety.

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)

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?

For the past few days when I use Firefox and Thunderbird my entire screen will randomly start to flicker, at times very quickly and rarely the entire screen goes black for second or two. This behavior immediately stops when I close the app. It does not happen with any other app. I've tried disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox and that didn't help. Both apps are on the latest version and I also updated my video driver. Tried removing the two add-ons I have. I'm on Windows 11 Firefox 136.0.

Dear Madam or Sir.

I am using Firefox for so many years now, with some donations now-and-then, but due to the recent change of data privacy policy on your website, I am somewhat worried...

Firefox is the only browser left which is not controlled by Big-Tech. So if Mozilla has some problems with money, I would prefer to pay a subscription rather than seeing my data sold to some tech company. So if you guys need some money, please ask for some monthly subscription first before making a deal with the devil... I mean, I would rather buy an annual license for Mozilla VPN although I don't need VPN, than seeing Firefox going down the drain. I don't want google to have even more data... Best regards, and thanks for the good work. Dirk

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.

С ноября 2024 г наблюдается проблема : не загружается игра рыцари и принцессы. Несколько месяцев мне говорили что разбираются а сегодня написали что проблем нет из службы поддержки игры и отправили решать проблему с браузером в службу поддержки браузера mozilla ссылаясь на то что он не корректно работает и у меня старая ос. Страница загрузки https://vk.com/app4019000_26034467 .Мои попытки объяснить что проблема исключительно с их продуктом и у меня все программы игры и приложения работают ни к чему не приводят. Помогите решить проблему я уже не знаю что делать.

Last week, I downloaded Firefox to try out and I liked it. My intention was to keep my personal browsing separate from my corporate browsing.

However, I was shocked to discover that my Microsoft Wallet in my corporate Microsoft Edge had been completely emptied! Puzzled and eager to regain access to my password-protected accounts, I remembered logging into LinkedIn via Firefox just moments earlier. Obviously, Firefox had my passwords. I used MS Wallet to import my passwords from Firefox, back to my Microsoft Wallet.

But how did all my passwords end up in Firefox in the first place? Even if I imported them, does that mean the MS Wallet needs to be wiped? I'm extremely disappointed in Firefox. This is terrible programming.

I've seen cites that prove that Mozilla's latest policy updates (thanks for no notice) are now positioning Firefox to sell our data for both ad targeting and AI training purposes. I oppose both, and have no use for Firefox if it joins those already disrespecting and monetizing user privacy in those regards. How do I a) ensure I'm getting the plain language notices of further policy updates, and b) register my dismay with Firefox for this betrayal? While you're coming up with an answer, I'll be discontinuing my monthly support for the Mozilla Foundation. I have HAD IT with the greed people ruining everything.

I'm not staying on Firefox after the TOS update and I would like to submit a GDRP erasure order to Mozilla. what email would be appropriate to send that to. or even better a way to opt out of the TOS and have whatever data was already collected/sold removed from all party's servers.

How to send writen DISagreement of modzilla starting to sell my user data? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4JOnQY_qbo Its clear as moon as one sided agreement rule changes are upcoming for data sell. On what version it will be affected and how to permanently disable updates? As for EU regulation of data protection i opt OUT permanently.

It was a nice ride while it lasted

hey=)

look, we need you to remain a "good player" and not do whatever that one bad spirited/posessed person in your group started to seed within.

Stay Private, Stay in the spirit of OG Mozilla.

Dont be the bad guy...

thanks=)

After your recent suicidal change in terms of service, I decided that no matter how quickly you might back pedal, it doesn't matter ... I cannot trust any software you ever develop ever again under this or any other name ... goodbye, sorry you became such a bunch of psychos this had to happen, because you did make good software once upon a time, goodbye.

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

Mozilla Monitor⁩ discovered the following data breach that includes your personal information:

The urls in the email started with https://blrv1ly5.r.us-west-2.awstrack.me, for example:

When viewing a PDF, I selected some text, right clicked and chose the "Highlight Selection". The selected text was not highlighted. Instead, the "highlight" button on the top right corner pop up and the freehand highlight was triggered, while all my previous selection was lost.

I image this was not the intention of the "highlight selection", and I was also wondering if there is a shortcut for highlighting text in pdf.
