Firefox Community Forum

For 24 hours now I have not been able to connect to Facebook via Firefox browser on my laptop at all. I can connect on my phone, but not my laptop. I've made sure there are no extensions on my browser, my firewall is off, all cookies and cache have been cleared, I even Uninstaller Firefox and reinstalled it. When I try to bring up Facebook, nothing happens. It won't even bring the page up. All other websites work fine. I can't even bring up Facebook to clear the caches in Facebook per the troubleshooting guide. It says to open Dacwbook and click the lock on the address bar, but I can't even open Facebook. What am I missing here?

I'm being blocked from accessing an online publication I subscribe to unless I remove an ad blocker. When I complained, I got this response: "The service we use for logins and subscriptions, Piano, has been flagged as a tracker by a widely used open source tracking list, so to access your account information or benefits on the site, you will need to slightly loosen your browser's tracking restrictions that apply to the domain piano.io - how this is done varies quite a bit based on what browser/extension is being used to apply the restrictions." I'm using Firefox v149 on a 4.5yo MacBook Air. I have several ad blockers installed (probably redundantly: AdBlocker Plus, AdBlocker for Facebook, AdBlocker Ultimate, and Ghostery AdBlocker). I have no idea what I need to do to loosen Firefox's tracking restrictions that apply to piano.io. Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance!

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2030039 Steps to reproduce:

   Open Firefox
   Enable Firefox VPN
   Go to VPN settings
   Try to add a domain to the exclusion list
   Attempt to use a wildcard (e.g., *.ru) or a regex pattern

Actual results:

The VPN only accepts exact domain names. Wildcards and regular expressions are not supported.

Expected results:

It should be possible to:

   Use wildcard patterns (e.g., *.ru) or regular expressions to exclude groups of domains
   Define more specific rules that override general patterns (e.g., exclude *.ru but allow a specific domain within that zone)

This would provide more flexible and practical control over VPN routing.

I just updated Firefox to version 151.0. The release notes say:

"Private Browsing Mode now allows you to instantly clear all data from your current session without closing the entire window. When you select the End Private Session button (the fire icon) to the right of the URL bar, Firefox will ask you to confirm to clear your session. Once confirmed, it will wipe all of your private browsing data and open a fresh new Private Browsing Mode session for you."

There is no "fire icon" in my toolbar in private browsing windows. I have tried resetting my toolbar to defaults, but that didn't help. I re-installed Firefox 151.0, but that didn't help. I re-booted my system, but that didn't help. I have run out of ideas.

Can anyone tell me how to get this button to appear in the toolbar in private browsing sessions?

I'm using Windows 11 25H2 on a Dell XPS 9630 tower computer.

Thanks, Bill

What happened to the home page? It now has a different format after a recent update. There is too much white space and the placement of the desired icons has shifted down on the page.

Anyone have any experience with this annoying issue?

Thanks.

Sites are now crashing because Firefox has "run out of disk space"

My most full drive is only 72% full and there are multiple other drives I could switch to with terabytes of spare storage. I also have plenty of indexes free, these are only 2% used.

But how? The solution page only offers advice for clearing cookies and data. I don't want to do that.

I have tried increasing dom.storage.default_cache and dom.storage.(I can't remember the exact syntax, but it was the site specific default cache), and I then tried killing and restarting chrome, but the issue persists and it means I can't run WhatsApp in my browser anymore, currently the only Linux WhatsApp solution.

It also affects multiple sites which struggle to load the css correctly, or crash altogether (the firefox help page and deepl.com)

I can no longer watch videos on Amazon prime, those included and the ones I pay extra for through an added subscription to mgm+ since the last update. What is going on? Is it the VPN data limit thing? If so, how can I turn it off?

I was invited to get the free built-in Mozilla VPN. (This is actually the second time it popped up when I opened Firefox. The first time, I was busy, so I didn't have time to read about it.) This time I signed in to Mozilla and selected Version 149 (because the article said that's what was being rolled out now). In the toolbar, I don't see the prompt inviting me to set it up. Does that mean I'm not eligible? Also, I'm not even sure I can SEE the Firefox toolbar. I've been thinking about getting a VPN, so this time I jumped on the free offer for the built-in VPN. I also get hundred of spam emails and ads, so I thought it might help with that problem, too. Thanks.
