The bank for our online HOA accounts wants me to allow "third party cookies". How do I allow that on my MacBook Pro?

Also, the videos that are implanted in news articles on msn.com won't load and play. How do I allow them to load so I can view them?

Thank you.

Firefox Suggest and personalized websites while in Private Browsing

I look at porn on my Android phone. I use Private Browsing to do so. Why are my Private Browsing addresses appearing as Firefox Suggest results that appear outside of Private Browsing as well? And why does Pornhub show me a personalized home page when I'm using Private Browsing? None of these pages are in my browser history because I've only accessed them via Private Browsing. But these "features" sort of defeat the purpose of it don't you think?

I've just switched from Chrome to Firefox and never had this issue with Chrome.

I can't find a place to control third party cookies in the Security section. I used to be able to donate on my church's website but now it doesn't work. I tried doing it with Microsoft Edge and it worked fine. I hate to erase all my history and cookies because it takes away log-in info on my regular websites. Any ideas? Thanks for your help Terri

I have been using firefox for years. I have made no changes to settings. I got a blue screen yesterday and after that firefox keeps logging me off of everything I close it. I have tried about:preferences#privacy then going to History and clear history when firefox closes and only selecting cache. Does not work. I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox twice but i think it does not delete everyhing. I still have access to history after the reinstall.

firefox opens a UDP listening port a.k.a backdoor on all network interfaces

On ubuntu oracular 24.10, when firefox is launched, it tries to open a UDP listening port on all network interfaces which is not acceptable on many levels:

/usr/bin/netstat -tunpevaW|grep firefox udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:48654 0.0.0.0:* 1000 881247 178766/firefox

Is this behavior specific to Ubuntu or is it implemented by design? This must be a no go by design: if it needs a UDP port for some reason, it has to open it on the **loopback interface (127.0.0.1)** only.
