Firefox is a very private browser, and that is why I like it. But recently, when I was pairing my Android Firefox with my Mac Firefox, Firefox asked me whether I want to confirm pairing. This all worked fine, but I noticed that Firefox mentioned the home folder of the account on my mac on which it was installed to identify that Firefox instance running on my Mac. This home folder is the name of my user account, which is my actual name. So Firefox has access to and is in some sense broadcasting my actual name over the internet. I understand that this might be only viewable by me and encrypted, so not even viewable by Firefox itself let alone the public internet (and I hope my understanding is correct and this is indeed the case--correct me if I am wrong), but it was still disconcerting that "metadata" like this is floating around the internet which can easily identify someone even if he goes to great lengths for privacy.
why do i get a banner message telling me firefox is preventing page auto load, and how to fix this?

Hi Support,
I tried to upgrade Firefox on my Mac. The file could not complete because it said it was either corrupted or incomplete. I then re-downloaded another Firefox update, but can't find my browser history.
Please help!! Thank you!

edit bump: /moved thread from Firefox for iOS (iPhone/iPad) to (desktop) Firefox section since you have macOS.

With the updated Firefox on my Windows 10 laptop sites are not working now. Ancestry won't load right, us.coca-cola.com won't load, Ebay doesn't show half of the pictures, Nascar won't load, Even weather.com won't load right.
What could be causing these problems? I have been using Firefox for years and have never had any problems like these.

Have a medical clinic patient portal with a Billing section (https://13059-1.portal.athenahealth.com/?section=payment...) that allows you to pay your office and TeleMed bills. The link works perfectly normal in the Google Chrome browser, but is inactive/nonfunctional in Firefox. This is not a "pop-up", but a "Redirect to a Secure Payment Server", specifically https://secure.athenahealthpayment.com/ How do I configure Firefox such that it works correctly?

hello,
i am wondering, is there a way to automatically have my posted question emailed to me? Meaning, when i post a question here, can i choose that a copy of it be sent to me? (many other sites, such as google and ebay, have this option, and it is very helpful).
thanks!

I deinstalled firefox 98 completely from my Xubuntu 20.04.4 I then deleted all firefox related things from ~/.cache and ~/.config I rebooted I newly installed Firefox 98 from repository. Firefox 98 still does not produce sounds. Even a local file:///home/rp/Music/testfile.mp3 runs but does not produce audio output (it worked fine in Firefox 97). The Volume display is showing max. value. Firefox is even visible as stream in sound system's Volume Control / Playback (when the mp3 file is running) with 100% On my system, audio works fine with chromium browser as well as all other audio apps - as before. The earlier release Firefox 97 ran fine and produced audio output as it should. Firefox 98 currently runs without additional add-ons (no one installed besides the default Open H264 Video Codec).
What can I do to get Firefox 98 to output sound?

Thanks for making Mozilla possible. I rely on your work for the security of my work.
I am considering downloading CleanURLs (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/clearurls/). I would like to do this because it takes me a lot of time to clean a URL when I want to share a URL with someone. And, sometimes, a cleaned link in an Amazon URL doesn't work.
Since I am doing this for privacy and security which, I assume, is a reason many people have for downloading this extension. I am concerned about letting programs, apps, extensions, etc. roam wild in my computer.
Today's limitations are helpful, but not very clear. For example, if I download ClearURLs, it will have permission to:
(See attached image.)
Much of what happens on the internet is based on trust. I trust Mozilla so, even knowing about these permissions, I may download it.
However, this is a good example of a common practice which, itself, raises questions of security and privacy.
Pretty much everything I download has permission statements like these, and no way to opt out of them and still make use of the download. I think this is probably true for many of your users.
Using your permission statement as an example, why does the extension need to have permission to:
I have taken the time to share this with the hope that you find these suggestions useful for the future development of CleanURLs.

Since a couple of weeks I cannot scroll and view any further down on my start nor home page.
I guessed this was only FB harassment because I only accepted essential copies (although FB functionality was fine with my cookie preference until some time ago) , but it also happens when I accept all cookies.
Also , with your own FF browser I even cannot send feedback (also see other attachement) Usuing another webbrowser (Chrome) for Facebook worked perfect. What is going on here?
And I really want direct FF support , not posting on a forum.

Before the update I used the middle mouse button to open file links in a new tab. There was a dialogue box if I want to download the file. And if no, it left the link in the address bar of the new empty tab.
Now if It automatically closes the tab after I click it to open with middle mouse button. What do I need to change to keep the tab open?
Image: Discord file download link I choose to open in a new tab and the tab that I don't want to close.
My problem is similar to question https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1370409 and likely comes from the same firefox update.

I received the message Access Denied Error 121 while working on my Ancestry.com page. I have always had access to Ancestry using Firefox. I tried logging off of Ancestry and logging back in. That did not fix the problem. I also made sure that Ancestry is on the Standard setting for cookies. That did not fix it either.
What do I need to do to fix the problem. I use a MAC. As I said before, I have always used Firefox for my Ancestry work because the site works better on Firefox than Safari.
Please help,
