How do I update my notification email address?

I am asking for this because I continue to receive notifications at my OLD email address, despite updating my profile to my NEW email address.

I have https://account.firefox.com in my password manager with the appropriate username (my email address) and password. At attempted login I find I must always type (or paste) my username. Autofill by my password manager is not accepted as on all other websites. Upon having so entered the userid, the password manager may then autofill the password as if this were a first-time visit to the website. Further, the login process demands verification via code sent to my email address. This happens over and over. It occurs no matter which browser I use: Firefox or Safari. This is entirely inefficient and encourages me NOT to bother with the website whatsoever!

password auto fill started when I left my computer with Staples to do a free PC tune up promotion. For example, how do I get it to revert back to bringing up my user name for yahoo mail but not the password. This is the way it worked for years and the way I wanted it, that I control the password.

i loaded my new Unipass certificate onto my FF , but the system wont delete the old certificate, no matter how many time si hot DELETE, it comes back , this means that the sites i visit wont recongnice teh new one. how do i permantly delete teh old certifctae this is urgent

I have attached a screen shot of what I am getting when I try to access TicketMaster.Com. What have or am I doing wrong? Where or How Can I Fix This?

Please let me know if I am receiving scam emails. Next need is : I do not know how to do the needed details to verify me question, your suggestions provide more questions because I do not know if I am being sent to where my identity can be captured by the scammers. Than you in advance Lloyd

Hi there, This is Akash. I am having difficulty logging in to my account for below website https://psiexams.com/TDLR After I click schedule exam/log in, it would not open the pop up window to enter the logging credentials and keep having circling dots. I could access the account using Safari browser. I unchecked the pop up blocker, but it did not help any. Please, help with this

Thank you, Akash

Hi I have suddenly lost all of my saved passwords, I don't know how that happened. I tried to go into a website that I usually have a password saved like "Netflix" I had to put the password again and save it again. When I went to check my saved logins, I cant find any of my older passwords.

I finally called Social Security after months of not being able to access my account on their website. The answer was, "It's your browser." Sure enough, when I (shudder) loaded Bing, I got signed right in. What are we doing that this government website doesn't like ... is there a Firefox workaround? Thank you!

My corporate network is being hammered by connections to firefox-settings-attachments.cdn.mozilla.net.

When looking at the squid logs, I see the following: access.log:1678216931.488 170104 1.2.3.155 TCP_TUNNEL/200 11400353 CONNECT firefox-settings-attachments.cdn.mozilla.net:443 - CARP/1.2.2.11 -

If I understand correctly, this connection is to download new files that pertain to security, cert revocation lists, blocklists, plus a bunch of non-security related stuff.

The question is, how do I make this file downloaded as small as possible while still keeping the security bits... (saw this page, and followed what I thought pertinent https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-stop-firefox-making-automatic-connections) The second question is... can we change the download schedule of these downloads?

If you are asking why I am having network issues over 11 Mb, the answer is that all my clients go through a corporate proxy... We have many thousand devices and last time we choked the network with 80GB downloaded on a timeframe of 15 min.

Thanks much!

I hate seeing a notification every time I did a screen shot, and had to reset the option to block them every time I freshly opened the browser. Now, this option is no longer available: "Pause notifications until Firefox restarts. " Put it back, or better yet, get rid of the entire annoying useless 'feature' that causes this notification when screen shots are taken.

Hello everyone, I'm asking for help/support for a "not" problem but my doubt, which is making me worry. I apologize if I write a lot and if I ask more than one question. I begin to tell you that I have firefox with "update without User Controll in background" and my only extensions are Ublock,Privacy Badger, HTTPS Everywhere and WOT and nothing else. Last night (around 1:00) I started my firefox (by clicking on the icon that doesn't have administrator permissions) and the window to install the updates appeared, initially I refused and went to Help --> About Firefox and clicked there to restart. Once restarted, the window reappeared and I accepted by installing the updates So after I updated firefox it started with the main screen saying "that I could now edit pdfs by opening them in firefox". My question is: was it right to install them this way? After installing I thought that User Control actually never asks me for updates, I also checked Update History in the configurations and the 111.0 update ran on March 15th at 7:57pm (I had done it all around 1 :00am at night on the 16th, is this normal?) What makes me worry is that after doing the update the internet was disconnected (not letting me connect to my router or smartphone hotspot. I restarted the pc and it had no more problems (say it's a coincidence and there am I thinking too much?) However I did scans with both Avira and Malwarebyte and finally with AdwCleaner which found nothing Surely I had hardly ever noticed it, but however I notice that in the task manager even having only one tab open in the browser I have more than 10 (11 or 12, I am attaching a screen) firefox processes, is this also normal? what advice can you give me?

I apologize for the very long message I wrote

Today I was trying to login in a site and didn't know the password. So I tried to open the "Passwords" tab on the firefox menu. It opened but there were zero logins and passwords there, while I had dozens before.

I searched on google and found very few problems like mine, mostly from old posts. The solution presented there had something to do with enabling e10s (multiple process support). I don't know what this is but I saw that multiple process was already enabled on my firefox and I didn't change anything recently.

There was a firefox update pending (haven't updated in months) so I did the update AFTER I had these problems. The update didn't solve anything apparently.

Then I decided to reinstall firefox but first I wanted to backup some files (bookmarks, passwords, login, etc). This is when another issue appeared. I couldn't copy/paste some of these files. It said I needed a permission. But I'm the "admin" on this PC, only I use this computer, so I should have permissions to everything. I tried changing permissions on the properties/security tab of the file, but everything was already checked to "allow". The only thing that is not checked is "special permissions", but I can't change that.

So I thought maybe there is a process open "holding" these files so I restarted windows. After the restart, I still couldn't copy those files. Renaming the files also isn't allowed. Then I decided to come here and post about this problem, but didn't remember my login to this site. So I opened the "passwords" tab again and to my surprise everything was restored there.

So my main issue was solved, but I'm still trying to understand what happened. Why I couldn't see the logins and passwords before. And why I can't copy those files to create a backup.

A few extra information: I don't use firefox profile, so I don't sign and don't sync with anything. The most recent change to the computer was a windows update (1 or 2 days ago). I didn't change anything else in weeks.

Hi, I get an email daily from Euro news group but the links don't work anymore and I don't have any way to allow permission to load the page. I use a VPN so my security should be good. It all worked OK a month ago and if I do a search for Euro News and click the link, the page loads without a problem. Regards, David.
