Firefox Community Forum

I was shocked to just now review "permissions" for the 2 Firefox extensions I have installed - an ad blocker and an RSS feed reader - and see that both have "Access your data for all websites" permission.

Looking that up, I found that means, "The extension could READ the content of any web page you visit, as well as data you enter into those web pages, such as USERNAMES and PASSWORDS!"

Seriously?

I realize Mozilla can read login and password info, but why in the world does an ad blocker or feed reader need the ability to read logins and passwords?

I realize login data may be practically impossible to separate from other FORM data, YET neither an ad blocker nor a feed reader should need to read page FORM INPUT data anyway!

Looks to me like Mozilla is being way too lax in allowing extension permissions not needed.

In particular, if any extension can read account login and password data, there should be a pop-up warning, and IMO such should not be allowed where not required.

I have no idea where the ad blocker is here on Firefox and cannot turn it off when I need to. It is crazy that it is so difficult to find AD BLOCKER - I find articles that say how to do it but they make no sense because I try to follow and it still does not work. I need to know how to turn off the ad blocker - especially when I want to use Rakuten - I cannot never use it because I cannot manage my ad blocker when I need to

Is there anyway to force actual mozilla pages to be displayed in a dark mode instead of the blinding white background that hurts my eyes to view ? Thanks, David

I have been using 1Password for years. Since the last update on Firefox, now none of the passwords will load into pages/logins. I am logged into 1Password and there's the normal window popping up but I can't click on my username or password. In Settings it looks as though I've selected the option for it to auto-fill, but it no longer does. Help!

i had sidebar with a temp gpt chat, needed an url from my history, clicked ctrl-h and well my sidebar history opens, then i click back to the aichatbot and my chat is empty , i know it was temporary chat, but i did not expected to loose it by opening history.

Can i change the behavior ?

Hello,

My university requires me to logon to use campus services every 24 hours. Upon expiration of the logon credential after the 24 hour period, a logon window will prompt to re-enter credentials. The problem is that it will continue to prompt log in with new pop up windows every few minutes so if I don't log in, for example, over night, I'll wake up to hundreds of log on window pop ups. This creates system wide slowdown due to memory resources being maxed out. I can't enable universal pop up blocks as the systems I require use pop ups and having to open each pop up manually does work in my workflow. Any solutions? Thank you!

I've used Roboform addon before. Recently i had to reinstall win 11, and therefore reinstall Firefox, plus Roboform addon. Mozilla shows addon has installed, but it is not operating like i am used to. it will not auto load username/password automatically. I've checked several times, reloaded, and still can't find why it is not working. this includes going to Add-ons manager page in Mozilla, where it says Roboform password manager enabled. doesnt seem to be working to me. see attached screen shot any suggestions most welcome.

A recent Mozilla update wiped out 100% of all my extensions and bookmarks. How do I get them back? Windows restore was not successful; the extensions and bookmark were still gone after the successful completion of the restore.
