I have had quite a bit of difficulty getting Firefox VPN working. I just now got it working because of an article I found on Gizmodo.

Setting browser.ipprotection.enabled to true fixed the problem of the VPN button not showing up immediately.

I am just wondering if there is a way this could have been done through normal Firefox settings, whether this could be added to the Firefox help documents on this subject (I could not find them, but it already may be there.), and whether this could have any other harmful security effects since I got this from a non-Mozilla source.

Thank You!

I needed access to an ftp server. I went to Cyberduck and thought I was downloading its software. Instead, I apparently clicked on an ad from that site instead. In the process, I had this bogus browser extension right next to my Facebook Container. ... I deleted it, but I'm still concerned about what I may have done/permissions I may have granted.

Please help!

I just installed the latest version of Firefox. Now the reload button has gone from the toolbar.

When I click on customize toolbar it is not there either so I can't add it back.

Can someone please tell me how to get his back?

I've tried resetting and that didn't make a difference.

Around July 2nd I opened FireFox to find that the text on whatever screen I was on is spaced in an ineligible form. It seems to be the correct spelling, just jumbled together. I've tried adjusting the fonts, browser acceleration, to no avail. It's becoming difficult to read, and it has only been affecting the desktop browser. It works just fine on my Mac and phone, but not my windows computer. It is the only application that does this. I've updated my drivers and all.

favicon glitch with gmail

Firefox drop down history shows about 85% favicon substitution for gmail entries. It is not the gmail favicon, it is a food blog I do not login to and only very occasionally read. It is a very random substitution.

Clearing cache, cookies and restarting did not eliminate the issue. All apps and browsers are fully up to date.

I only use Firefox so do not know if it happens on others. Also, it does not happen all the time, only about 85% of the time, sometimes within one session, as visible in the attached screenshot. The bottom 9 are gmail's and you can see it has chosen to substitute the gmail favicon for an unrelated food blog favicon, but the there are several gmail entries that display the correct google favicon.

It isn't a problem but it does make me feel less secure as it is a weird glitch. If there is crossover there, where else may there be identification failures? Is there any way to correct this? Thank you.
