I have signed into my Firefox account on my parents computer in order to see my bookmarks & have saved passwords, etc easily found, signed into & used. Sync is off but after I sign out bookmarks & password still on this computer. I don't want to remove these bookmarks & passwords from my Firefox account on my home desktop or my phone - just from this one computer. Research I found say a Firefox account not for this "function" - but now that I've done it is there NO way to remove it & not have to start from scratch & thus lose all the saved data, extensions, etc.???

I use FF on a 2012 PC running Windows10. I was going to replace the computer, but a tech shop nearby has recommended (without seeing my computer) updating the hardware within. I have a lot of passwords stored in FF, and I should like some advice regarding protecting privacy by saving them and reusing them on the refurbished computer. Any other comments about refurbishing as opposed to replacing would be welcome.

I have a notification from 'Mozilla Monitor' (breach-alerts@mozilla.com) that "Mozilla Monitor found your email in a data breach'. It then says 'Compromised data: Device information, Email addresses, IP addresses, NAmes, Passwords, Phone numbers, and Purchases'.

Is this genuine or some kind of scam?

Hi,

I have a couple of websites now where the Cookie acceptance window/pop up, displays for 1 second then disappears. This effectively leaves the page slightly dimmed and locked. I've tried the URLs in Chrome and the Cookie window display correctly and allows for user selection.

I have tried to add an exception for the URL for pop-ups, and then disabling pop-up blocking completely, but I still have the problem.

Thanks, Nick.

I can no longer log in to Facebook without this type of message popping up: "Your request could not be processed." These messages do not look like they come from Facebook. When I "X" out of the messages, the page looks fine, but I'm not taking chances to log in with this sketchy situation. I have deleted cookies, etc. multiple times, even though I have Firefox set to delete cookies upon closing.

No problems on my other browser...except that I don't want to use that browser. I want to use Firefox with Facebook like I have for almost a decade.

Firefox browser desktop - I've cleared my cache, cookies and history and turned it on and off, signed in and out also. I can log in to my amazon spain account using edge or google. I always use firefox, but now amazon spain won't let me. Is this a problem anywhere else and what else could I be doing wrong? Thanks

Google blocking Google Sites access in Firefox

I'm concerned about cross-tab privacy. I have a paid Gmail account and recently explicitly removed the Google Sites app from that account as I don't create websites using it and I don't want Google tracking me on sites others create with it.

Using the most current Firefox for Windows and Duck Duck Go for search, I was blocked by Google from bringing up this site, with a message that "I don't have that app installed."

https://sites.google.com/floridatrail.org/cfcfta/home

Gmail is open in a separate tab in my Firefox browser. I do power down my PC daily. On this same computer, I opened Bing and the site comes right up.

Why should I be blocked from seeing it in Firefox if I can see it in Bing? Is it because I'm signed in to Google to get to my mailbox in another tab? It appears that way since it is bringing up the same symbol top right as it does in Gmail.

I am on endeavourOS (linux). Whenever I try to upload images for a profile picture to sites like youtube or X, the image becomes corrupted and doesn't upload correctly. It did this with whatsapp too and I had to use a separate app for it. Other posts said that disabling "privacy.resistFingerprinting" would fix it, but it's already disabled.

Attached below are an example of this bug and the contents of this image when viewed on a text editor.

Since the update I've had a few issues, most I was able to fix but this one eludes me. Opening up various news sites I get the "Firefox prevented this page from reloading" error at the top and clicking allow does nothing. Anyone know how to get around this error? I'm not looking to totally disable the FF feature that prevents other pages from loading a different one, but just to browse the website after hitting 'allow'.

Thanks in advance.

I tried posting this before but didn't receive a response. How do stop: https://masbay.z10.web.core.windows.net/werrx01USAHTML/?bcda=1-808-232-xxxx# from popping up on screen? I've tried every program I could think of ... malwarebytes, antivirus programs, rootkit removal programs, quick scanners, etc. I uninstalled FireFox and reinstalled it. Every time I think it's resolved, it comes back. And I notice it's always popping up in FireFox. Any suggestions? Thanks. Dave
