When I open certain websites (Zillow, Redfin and others) and when I click on a Mail To link in my IOS mail apps on my Mac I now get either a popup to use my Google account or Firefox opens the gmail website. I don't have a google account. Why is this now happening in Firefox. I don't want to login to Zillow, etc., every time I open the website and I have set my Mail app as the default app in "preferences" yet it persists.

My email address is: abworldwide@icloud.com

I always use Firefox - last week opened Google Maps in Firefox- no problem - it worked fine - was in English - all good! This week - opened Google Maps - and all by itself there is an account of a person (not me) in Thai. I don't speak or understand Thai so I can't even try to get out of this persons account or eliminate it (not to mention - why is it there in the first place??? It just magically appeared???) By chance - I tried Google Maps in Safari (which I never use) - the account came up - NOT under this alien persons name - just regular Google Maps in English. I was able to utilize it - no problem.

This is extremely bizarre - I don't want to use Safari - but apparently Firefox has screwed up here (on it's own it has put this account into my machine - why?) - or possibly it's Google who screwed up which wouldn't be surprising. A person cannot contact Google - they are so arrogant they just have the attitude - we are Google - use our stuff - and the hell with you - nice!!! However - if Safari is just getting the regular Google Maps site - why is Firefox opening Google Maps in an alien account - like mentioned - I just went in like regularly and this alien account appeared.

I never use any of Googles services - I do have an OLD account there - but don’t even remember the user name or log-in. I don’t like their company - they are overbearing - dictatorial - and intrusive - so why bother with them. But no clue why this alien account would have been attached to my computer - not there one week - and then there the next out of the blue???

At any rate - is there any way to get rid of this alien account in my Firefox browser - I am not a computer wiz - but can follow instructions on how to do things easily. Maybe the Firefox cache needs to be cleared - I don’t know (?) - nor do I really know how to do that. Or why the cache would be storing information that shouldn’t be on my machine in the first place??? Thanks!

Hey folks, i'm not sure if anyone else has seen this issue.

I have YT Premium for downloading videos when i'm out and about on mobile and laptop, i've noticed on the browser the download option is now missing with the newest Firefox update.

I opened YT in Chrome and Edge and the option is available - obviously I don't want to swap away from Firefox, so thought i'd raise it if others are having the same issue.

I'll also raise a ticket with Youtube to see if they're doing something dodgy.

Firefox Version:

  • 106.0.1 (64-bit)

Addons:

  • Multi Account Container
  • Facebook Container
  • DuckDuckGo
  • uBlock Origin

I have had access to the following website through Firefox for many years – no problem. Today, it comes up with the error message and reference indicated below. Nothing I do – cache clearing and the like, makes any difference. Denied access. No other website has been altered in this way. Any thoughts – is this down to you?

To whom it may concern: I turned my rather old (like me) desktop computer on and got this big red blast of color. How do I change that ? PLEASE keep it simple. I'm having trouble learning new things.

2. I don't at present have a smart or dumb phone. Just a land line so I don't text. I just want to read my mail and watch an occasional how to on YouTube. I'm not a programmer. How do I cut back on some of the technology being forced on me ? Thanks,

OS: Windows 10 FF version: 106.0.1

This is a new pc, about a week or two old, and I've noticed on a couple of different pages that places that should show a button or a checkbox are showing the html label instead.

Booted up the old pc (running FF version 105.0.3) to double-check and all pages are displaying just fine over there.

I have sync turned on, so both browsers are running the exact same plugins. And I did try disabling all the plugins on the new one just in case, and it made no difference.
