Twitter/X does not display, only an error message that says Twitter/X does not work with Firefox' advanced tracking (or similar). Requesting someone at Firefox and someone at Twitter/X get together and fix this so these two entities play nice with each other. Thank you in advance.

How to recover deleted Firefox bookmarks on an individual basis

I find recovering deleted bookmarks difficult in Firefox. Typically, I am told: "on August 12 you deleted 12,540 bookmarks. Do you want to recover them all and over-write your existing bookmarks?" To which the answer is obviously, no.

What I want is a system much more similar to the Microsoft File Explorer Recycle Bin, which lists deleted files on an individual basis, so if I have deleted a file, I can see its name, the date it was deleted, and where it came from, and I can restore that particular file. Or, since we are talking bookmarks here, recover a particular bookmark.

How can I achieve that? Is it possible?

I keep getting a triangle deal on Firefox that indicates I need to add the "permission request for Firefox extensions" from Mozilla. Is this something I need to install or just information regarding extensions. From reading about this it doesn't appear to be safe because it can access and change nearly everything? Please respond Thanks, Larry at [email address]

This is the message I receive when I try to sign in to my Adobe account online:


Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

We can’t connect to the server at auth.services.adobe.com.

If you entered the right address, you can:

   Try again later
   Check your network connection
   Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall)

__________________________________________

How do I check that Firefox has permission to access this page? Or, what else do I need to do to sign in to my account?

Thank you!

No matter how many times I visit Amazon.com, it WILL NOT show up on my Home Screen as an ICON. I have tried 2 Rows and 4 Rows. I visit amazon many times in a week, sometimes many times in a day and it never shows up on the Home Screen after my last Firefox Upgrade to 142.0. Before the upgrade, it was always on my Home Screen. I have deleted many ICONS hoping it would somehow fill in as I visit Amazon - but it's not happening.

How can I fix this?

Thanks!

Block media autoplay in Firefox cannot work, after I right-click on a blank area of the page and scroll(Bug)

This is a functional bug, not a settings issue. Block media autoplay in Firefox cannot work, after I right-click on a blank area of the page and scroll.

For example, I saw a post with a video on x.com, and the site was set to prohibit automatic video playback. But when I right-clicked on the webpage and then scrolled the page with the mouse, the video started to play automatically, which means that the function of prohibiting video playback was invalid. Very strange.

I am old-school security conscious & have been using FF since its inception. Really. Clear my cache & delete browsing cookies on a regular basis. I use a private window for shopping and q&a info gathering. Recently I saw Walmart.com showing up in my cookies and couldn't figure out how/why as I *only* look at Walmart in a private window. Today I realized Walmart has managed to bypass the private window options and place cookies anyway! To say I'm furious about this is an understatement. I have adjusted my settings to "Strict" but it's still able to bypass the private window and is staying on my computer. I am updated to the most recent FF version; running MacOs Sonoma 14.7.7 which was just recently updated; I'm not going past this one for now but that really shouldn't be the issue. This is most definitely a FF issue and one that needs to be rectified not just because it's Walmart but because if they can do it so can others soon enough. This cannot stand.

I am an EX EU employee and have access via a double authenticated procedure to the "EU LOGIN" which gives me access to several internal webpages of my former work organisation. The most important is the access to the HEALTH SERVICE, which actually is blocked since one week-- and now it seems like this-- through your web browser. I am an ancient Mozilla user and supporter. After claiming my help desk in EU that my EU LOGIN is blocked, I got the answer, try to use another browser- and I saw that with another browser it worked. What happened with Mozilla? Do you want me to go to apple-microsoft or what ever?
