Is it possible to make a donation to Mozilla without providing so much personal information? I got a message on Firefox today asking for a donation, but when I tried to do that, I was asked for my home address. It's a general rule of internet marketing that people who use the internet would rather do anything than pay for something, so it's bad psychology to impose unnecessary conditions when you're asking for a donation. I don't have to provide my home address when I make donations to other organisations, so why does Mozilla need my home address? I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask this question, but I can't find anywhere else to ask it!

Thanks,

Shaun.

The visual and audio notifications for incoming emails being posted to the inbox of gmail under Mozillia Firefox do not function correctly when ran on a Linux Mint operating system computer.

I can get the visual notifications to work as long as the Firefox is open but once that session is closed the visual notifications are no longer issued, i.e. the setting to issue those notifications are not being saved upon closing of the browser.

I can get the audio notifications to work on a sporadic basis. I go into the settings on gmail and choose one of the audio sound notification choices and it works a few times when income emails are received into the inbox, but then just stops even if the current firefox/gmail session is still open.

My theory is that those firefox/gmail settings are not getting preserved/saved in proper manner to be available for subsequent sessions of firefox/gmail because firefox/gmail does not understand the FILE STRUCTURES of Linux Mint Mate so that those settings can be properly preserved for use by subsequent sessions of firefox/gmail.

Please consider fixing this.

Thanks.

I have recently been watching a gentleman rebuild computers and downloaded the videos so I can go over them and learn more about this topic. I recently went to watch an episode and it played in German. I started playing some of them one by one and they are all in different languages. German, English, Spanish, French, Arabic, etc... I have not changed any settings and have no idea what is going on. Has anyone heard of this or knows how to change it back? It plays the same on VLC or MPC-HC. If it was one language or on one player I would think it to be a setting.

Firefox is diverting known safe sites stating they are dangerous and then redirects to http://147.45.69.3/ which in turns send you to other sites. It also happens in Chrome so they must use the same system. The sites are totally safe I use them all the time but lately get redirected and it is getting very annoying

I don't believe the instructions are entirely sufficient when attempting to disable VPN protection for a website. Here are the instructions you provide:

To disable VPN protection for a specific website, follow these steps:

   1. Navigate to the website where you want to disable the VPN protection.
   2. In the top right corner of your Mozilla Firefox browser, locate and open the Mozilla VPN extension icon.

For Step 1 above, the instruction says navigate to the website, in this case it isUSPS.com (United States Postal Service). There are 2 cases:

 a) Mozilla VPN is ON, I cannot get to USPS.com and Firefox gives me this message:
    "Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.  We can’t connect to the server at usps.com."
 b) Mozilla VPN is OFF, I am able to get to USPS.com
     However, when executing Step 2, above, by clicking on the Mozilla VPN extension icon, the only result I receive is a blinking uploaded image (see below) and nothing more.

Obviously, the procedure does not take into account the situation of having the VPN ON and trying to get to a website that disallows access when the location is masked, such as usps.com.

What's the fix?
