When ever I start Firefox it asks for the master password. I am not using sync. OS is Windows 11. On my laptop which is running the same OS it does not ask for the master password, even though they are both pointing to the same homepage of google.com

I have tried disabling the password and re-enable, that does not work. If there is another setting I haven't found it yet.

For years I am able to click on different emails and view my messages. But suddenly the one email (see screen shot) is not syncing. I don't know if this is a Firefox issue or AT&T. I have tried everything I know but the problem persists. AT&T tells me I should not be able to see multiple email addresses but I have been doing it for years. Does anyone has a solution to this problem? I am using the latest app from Currently,AT&T/Yahoo!+. AT&T just does not care about this. If you can reach them, they can't help. It is driving me crazy.

I want Protonmail as my default mail for Firefox. Windows 11 allows me to install Protonmail as an application. I cannot find or use that application in order to use my Protonmail email as my 'mailto' option in Firefox. Why does Firefox not allow this? Why can't Firefox find and suggest the Windows 11 Protonmail app in its list of suggestions under 'mailto' options?

Hello,

I noticed that a setting on the about:config page was removed: the "security.csp.enable" setting. I was using this setting to disable CSP to be able to load local JS scripts on some non-locally hosted sites, for debugging and development, work related purposes.

Was this setting really removed? Is there a way to disable CSP on Firefox on the latest version?

Thanks! Gabriel.

I am trying to add my Android phone as a device to Firefox. I initially invoked the code scanner next to the search bar, but got a message saying that the code had to be scanned from within the Firefox app. So I installed the app and followed these instructions entitled "Connect Another Device".

• If you haven't already, install Firefox on your mobile device. • Open Firefox on your mobile device. • Open the menu, tap Settings and select Turn on Sync. • Scan this code:

There is no Turn on Sync option in the Settings menu. I have looked in every menu item that appears even remotely related to syncing with a QR code or adding a device and come up empty.

I found this exact issue in two existing questions, but neither of them had ever been answered, which makes me less than confident that mine will. If there is a Turn on Sync option in Settings, and I just overlooked it, please explain step-by-step where I can find it. If there really is no Turn on Sync option, please provide an alternate method of adding my Android phone.

Thanks.
