Firefox Community Forum

I would like to kindly request a refund as I was promised a money back guarantee. I was not at all happy with the macOS VPN software so would like to cancel/refund. Thanks

Firefox versiosn 156 won't allow tv.youtube.com to work....same as previous versions.

Macbook Air....shows Firefox log and "server can't be found."

Works o.k on Safari, however.

Whenever Firefox offers or I request a translation it always, without fail, offers Estonian as the destination language.

I deleted all the languages from the app (or whatever) and just downloaded the ones I require but that made no difference.

New (to me) issue, was not happening prior to system and browser updates. Using MacOS Tahoe 26.5.1 with Firefox Version 152.0.2 (64-bit), when I attempt to use keyboard shortcuts to copy paste into print dialogue (when I use Destination 'Save to pdf' and want to paste a file name I have copied), I get an error noise and no copy/paste happens. Using "right click" copy/paste is working properly (allows copy/paste of text into print dialog save to pdf name box). I have no custom keyboard settings for any apps and this issue is not occurring elsewhere in the browser (and is not occurring in other browsers). Have done the normal, updating OS and browser, used terminal to kill the clipboard and restart it, and restarted system and browser a couple of times. Would love to know if there is something I can do to fix this as I use this function frequently.

TL;DR: I am dumb, but not an idiosyncratic web browser user, and it was too easy for me to accidentally permanently delete all of my browser data. Deleted profiles should be moved into system trash when deleted, not rm'd entirely.

I have never used "profiles" and somehow, after updating firefox, seemed to have created one. I have no interest in using the feature, and therefore went to delete the new profile and disable the feature. Somehow, I instead deleted the profile I had implicitly been using all along. I clicked too hastily through the warning about deleting files, because it simply did not occur to me that deleting something related to this net-new feature should clear all of my *old* data. My goal was to restore the experience I've had in firefox for years (without profiles), but because I failed to adapt to the new feature, I lost everything instead.

I apologize for maybe shouting into the void about this, but I am posting on the off chance that this will reach someone who's involved in the implementation of these features and can save some other dumb person like me from making the same dumb mistake. It's quite painful to suddenly lose years of accumulated bookmarks, extensions, history, etc. The easiest and least intrusive solution would be to always move profiles into system trash when they are deleted, and never permanently delete them.

bold text I have just installed Mozilla VPN but it doesn't seem to be running in the background properly. How can I verify that it is running? And how can I restart it if it isn't running? I have a Mac.

When uploading a file to attach to another app...the upload window opens up in dark mode. I don't like this and I did not change anything but it happens repeatedly. i have checked all options in settings to make sure the light mode is checked. Why is this happening. i did not change anything. Please advise. Thanks

websites are being blocked when I click on links from my email account and I don't know why but I also want it stopped the websites are Stage32.com and https://course.fp-platform.online/learn/hRpTYcFi2UyZKzLm2gaOHg/theory

I have two profiles, one for work and one for my personal in the same account. I need to sync both of my profiles but do not want the information in the two profiles mixed together. I need to sync the information as I have a desktop and a laptop that I use for work, and mobile devices and another laptop for personal matters. If I am on work travel and need to access my personal profile on my laptop (because schlepping two machines is silly!), I want to switch my profile to the personal one. then when I am done I want to switch back to the work profile. How can I do this and is firefox set up to do this?

Is the following true and do you advise taking the steps mentioned. Cookies are dying. Google has been phasing out third-party cookies in Chrome, and Apple has aggressively blocked them in Safari for years. Advertisers needed a replacement that users cannot easily clear, block, or reset. Browser fingerprinting is that replacement: it is invisible, persistent, and rebuilds itself if your setup changes slightly. The result? Targeted ads that follow you across devices and sessions, even when you think you’ve gone "private." And because it operates below the surface of most privacy laws, the protections many people rely on simply don’t apply. What Actually Works to Protect Yourself Most people get privacy wrong by making their setup more unique (rare browsers + 30 extensions = the most identifiable fingerprint on the internet). True anonymity comes from uniformity, not obscurity. Here are the proven defenses, ranked by effectiveness: 1. Choose the right browser (the single biggest decision) Tor Browser – The gold standard. It forces every user to share the exact same fingerprint. Anonymity through uniformity. Brave – Excellent middle ground for everyday use. It randomizes canvas, WebGL, audio, and other fingerprintable surfaces every session. Firefox (with strict settings) – Strong out of the box and highly customizable. Avoid Chrome for privacy-sensitive activity; it offers no native fingerprint resistance. 2. Add the right extensions (Firefox or Brave only) uBlock Origin – Blocks fingerprinting scripts before they can run. (Note: Chrome’s Manifest V3 severely limited the full version; Firefox is required for maximum protection.) CanvasBlocker – Randomizes your canvas output whenever a site tries to read it. 3. Flip one powerful Firefox setting Type about:config in the address bar → search for privacy.resistFingerprinting → set it to true. This standardizes canvas, timezone, fonts, and other outputs so you blend in with everyone else. Takes 30 seconds and makes a measurable difference.
