I recently encountered an issue when attempting to login to The Coventry Building Society website using Firefox (desktop PC & Windows 1):- https://www.coventrybuildingsociety.co.uk/ It failed to display the page used to enter the one time passcode used for two factor authentication.

After looking on some forums I discovered this is because 'Strict' tracking protection was enabled. If I change to 'Custom' and uncheck 'Tracking Content' then things work as expected.

I also read on a forum that you can leave tracking protection set to 'Strict' but enter the URL for the problem website under 'Enhanced Tracking Protection->Manage Exceptions'. I tried entering 'https://www.coventrybuildingsociety.co.uk/' Initially this appeared to work. However, when I tried it again the following day, the page failed to load as before. I had to change back from 'Strict' to 'Custom' and uncheck 'Tracking Content' once again. It's as if the exception URL is ignored in 'Strict' mode.

Am I doing something wrong or is this how it is supposed to work? Do I need to click on the shield icon (to the left of the padlock icon) and turn off 'Enhanced Tracking Protection' every time I visit the website?

When you rebranded the Firefox accounts to Mozilla accounts (or maybe during the close of relay??) I accidentally created a second account. How can I merge my accounts or just the account data?

I am auditing my accounts and my MFA codes so that is why I am now finally dealing with this.

Is there any process I can go through to take browsing history and bookmarks from one of my accounts and merge them into another one?

I could even create a new Firefox profile so that it's possible to export this data to import into the other profile, then sync.

If I manually import data, does it overwrite the old data or will they merge together?

Let me know what information you need from me.

Thank you

1)Why did my "thumbnails" to linked stories on my firefox homepage stop loading yesterday? Still not getting them.

2) I received a message a while ago that I need to update firefox or ti will stop working properly. My questions are: - when do I have to update by? - when Microsoft sends me a required update (almost every 3 months or so) they have to restart my laptop ... that wipes out my bookmarks. Will that happen with a the firefox update? That's why I've been reluctant to update.

I do backup and re-enter my bookmarks from a USB drive and reload them after a restart ... but then I also have to reenter passwords for several regular sites and it's a pain in the ass.

Thank you in advance

Do you know of a mod that won't allow Youtube to have a resolution higher than 720p, including when embedded? I almost-always have Youtube at 480p when watching through their site. I noticed that when watching a video on another site and that it's embedding Youtube, that the resolution is higher > 480p and in those cases it's not rare to be > 720p.

I'd like a mod or setting so that when it's active that Youtube can't have a resolution higher than 720p, including when embedded. Any idea if there's something alike?

Thank you kindly for your help
