You installed without my permission the Microsoft web app. That is spyware that has cost you this user. I will uninstall Firefox, tell everyone I know what you 'security-minded' liars are really doing to us. I belong to a gaming club with hundreds of members and by tonight they will all know not to trust Firefox. You really have some nerve teaming up with that nasty organization. Before this day is out all my contacts on all my social media sites will know what you are doing. I have a $3,000 rig that you jeopardized.

I have been using your browsers for years. No longer. Any time I can bad mouth you I will. You can take that to the bank.

I cannot get into my Paypal account because Mozilla Firefox is asking me to set up a passkey. I press Continue and it tells me to enter a PIN. I don't have a PIN set up that I know of. If I try one, it is wrong and says I have tried too many times. When I go to the Settings where I should set something up with Window Hello, it says it is not available. I just want to log into my Paypal account like I used to. How can I bypass all this stuff?

When I go to see a firefox bug such as the following, https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2026-10/

There appears to be more details in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2014390 located at the bottom. When I try to view the details it asks me to log in. I do not see any reason I should have to log in to view the issue as I only intend to view the bug. Why does it require a login ?

I have two files with the given content:

one.pdf .. the book jane eyre two.pdf .. the book adam bede

I go to https://duck.ai/chat and press the paperclip icon to upload a file. I upload one.pdf. I ask the AI to analyse it. It says it's jane eyre. This is correct.

On my disk, I rename one.pdf to one.old.pdf and rename two.pdf to one.pdf. I then ask the AI to reanalyse the file. It says its adam bede, which one.pdf now is, so that's correct too.

Under my understanding, if I upload something using HTML, it's uploaded. What I'm seeing above is the AI dynamically reaching into my hard drive and reading the current file. Note: I never uploaded a file containing adam bede, nor did I consent for it to be read by the AI.

What is going on there?

So, i'm trying to use VsCode and firefox in conjunction to file away some info, but for some reason, the ability to split the screen easily is gone. It is still there on my laptop with firefox, so i'm not sure why it is missing on my pc, especially since the pc is the newer version of firefox. See attached image for what i mean by easily split my screen.

Trouble using private containers with the new Floorp update (Version 12.16.3)

Hiii, I am using Floorp 12.16.3@153.0 on Debian 13 with KDE Plasma. Since the latest update, navigation from Floorp’s Private Container no longer stays inside the container.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open a new tab in Floorp’s Private Container. 2. Type either a URL or a search query in the address bar. 3. Press Enter or click the arrow button. 4. Instead of loading the address in the current container tab, the browser creates a new regular tab outside the container.

The new tab does not show the container indicator and uses my normal browsing cookies. However, clicking one of the shortcuts displayed on the new-tab page correctly loads the website inside the Private Container.

I have already tried the following:

  • Confirmed that `browser.urlbar.openintab` is set to `false`.
  • Confirmed that `browser.search.openintab` is set to `false`.
  • Restarted the browser.
  • Disabled Floorp Start.
  • Opened `https://example.com` inside the Private Container and then entered another URL or search query in the address bar. It still opened a new regular tab.
  • Tested by pressing only Enter, without Alt or any other modifier key.

Expected behavior: entering a URL or search query should navigate within the current Private Container tab.

Actual behavior: a new regular, non-container tab is created.

This previously worked correctly and appears to have started after updating to Floorp 12.16.3, based on Firefox 153. Is this related to a change in Firefox 153’s container behavior, or is it likely to be a Floorp-specific bug? Please help, I'm a huge floorp fan :(
