I was going through my account settings today and noticed that two factor was disabled. I thought this odd as I usually set it up on any account I use, so I of course turned it on and went about linking my authenticator app and generating account recovery codes. Yet in my authenticator app there was already a Mozilla account with my email, but the codes it supplied did not work. I also found old account recovery codes I had written down which did not work either.

What could have happened to cause this? I must have had two factor on sometime in the past and added it to my app and generated recovery codes. How could it have been disabled, the old codes made invalid, and Microsoft authenticator unlinked? Am I looking at an account breach somehow? I have no unusual activity as far as I can tell and no recent data or password breaches. The only thing I can think of was I removed a number of old devices from my account and signed out of them, but I still own the old PC's so no one could be using them.

If I go to AOL.com they useually have 40 or so news articlaes/ads you scroll through. Several weeks ago the text for the articles stopped displaying. I have tried other browsers and the text shows up. Not sure what setting may effectr this.,

I deleted the VPN button after the latest update and would like to get it back. I found VPN in the Settings but the VPN button is disabled, and nothing happens. Need suggestions -- thanks.

always I use virustotal for cheching safely of any URL. this morning , FF149, does not work, error message "403 Forbidden"

is this something new from Firefox, just updated to 149. or is there a problem with virustotal?

I used to be able to right click on the search drop down menu and open YouTube without typing anything. Now it requires a search. A minor inconvenience I know, but all the same.

Thanks

Hi there, I'm on the 149 download from Firefox, but I didn't get the prompt to switch on the build in VPN. Is it not rolled out in Australia yet? Hope to hear from you. Warm regards, Nicola

Hi, since the new update the shortcuts/search buttons on the smaller search box (desktop, windows) are gone, and I can't figure out how to get them back, nor can I find anyone asking about the same issue so far. It's happened on every device that's gotten the update. I added a screenshot so you know what I mean. There were always shortcut buttons under the textbox, so I can quickly search in google maps or wikipedia etc. but now there's only the dropdown menu. on the left. I used those buttons a lot so I definitely want those back! Thanks

If I type a URL incorrectly I https://www.startpage.com/do/dsearch?q=doh&cat=web&language=english displays. How can I eliminate this and just get notification that the address cannot be found?

Hello, Mozilla. I really appreciate the way you think about internet access. What you stated about the app is truly reflected within it: fast connections, accurate results, and most importantly, the security. However, when it comes to advertisements, I was really expecting that whenever I watch YouTube contents, there will be no ads shown. To my surprise, ads are still there. I provided a snapshot of my desktop to give a proof about this. Is there somehow a way to get rid of them, like perhaps an extension to block ads? If there's none, that's fine as well. Thank you and high praise to the developers of this browser.

I am currently in Spain, when connected to certain network parts of my page are auto translated to Spanish, even tho the whole page is usually in a different language and all of my settings are set to "English" I cannot find a way to change this specific setting as it seems to be linked to the provider of internet service directly?

I generally get Firefox to save all my logins and passwords. However, I have several websites excepted. Recently, I tried to enter another 'exception' but Firefox isn't registering it i.e. it opens that logon page with all the details, including password, already entered, despite multiple attempts to have it saved as an exception.

Hi. I have all the automatic opening of the last session turned on. So for the last two months, when I fired up my PC, all the tabs came back on. That is, until today!

Because I mistakenly clicked "X" when I had private browsing on in other window.

This created error that resulted in blank screen coming in... All my tabs are gone, and they are not in the recent history. How can I bring them back on"? they were just there not 10 minutes ago.

AirTable.com online app attached documents are downloading when selected to view. Not a problem in 148. Not happening on other browsers.

Hi, During spellcheck, the option to accept a flagged misspelling using the "Add To Dictionary" appears in the menu. Where are these entries stored? If they are editable I'd like to fix an occasional error. In addition, I'd like to keep a copy of my own additions that can be dropped into a fresh Firefox install.
