I just had another credit card get fraudulent charges. I have no clue how they are getting my card numbers, I have pulled all but 1 from anywhere online, but they just got another one. I couldn't get Mozilla VPN to work it just quit working at all. I turned Pocket off but I'm still getting 17 to 18 instances of Firefox. Dont know where to go now. Thinking of pulling the plug and starting over.

Permission to buy online using Rakuten

I just set up a Rakuten account which alllows me to buy things on line. Mozilla-Firefox won't let me buy through this website (i.e., the Rakuten website). How do I get Firefox to allow me to do what I want. I have no idea which version of Firefox I'm using. I'm assuming that its fairly recent.

Firefox Generated Pop-ups

A couple months ago I started getting pop-ups from Firefox notifying me of e-mail messages in my AOL tab.

The pop-ups appear randomly, and do not cover all e-mail messages, only what appears to be random ones.

The pop-up appears in a generally black box. Firefox in the upper left corner, and then some variant of an e-mail message from my in-box.

The message (pop-up) even appears in the log-in window, when I have locked the computer and have yet to re-sign-in.

I believe I have my Firefox pop-up parameters correctly set.

So AOL or something in Windows-10??

Just a little annoyance................

I received a breach alert from Mozilla Monitor 4 months after breach occurred - was this a bogus alert?

Today (February 25, 2026) I received an email notice, apparently from Mozilla Monitor, advising me that my "Email addresses, Partial credit card data, Passwords, and Phone numbers" had been exposed in a data breach at Canadian Tire. This email seemed legitimate (the sender was breach-alerts@mozilla.com), but since it gave me a link to login to Mozilla Monitor, my first concern was that this might be a phishing email and it would be dangerous to click on that link. Instead, I went through the Firefox settings to login to my Firefox account and from there, I checked what Monitor had reported. The Canadian Tire breach was not listed there. However, when I went to haveibeenpwned.com, the Canadian Tire breach was listed there. It showed that the breach occurred on October 25, 2025. So why was the breach not listed for me on Mozilla Monitor? And why would I have received an alert from Monitor 4 months after the breach? Was this breach alert notice actually a phishing scam perpetrated by someone using the information from haveibeenpwned.com as bait?
