The new built in VPN is not showing up on my laptop browser. I have version 150 so it should be on there if I'm not mistaken. I can not find any way to get it to show up. It has shown up on my work computer so I know what it looks like and how to activate it when I see it.

Your instructions regarding verifying if your new VPN feature is working don't seem to apply. I don't have any VPN feature of icon in the upper right hand corner of my Firefox window???

I started my computer bookmarks and password were gone. I can't find them in profiles or I don't know where to find them in profiles. I need this stuff obviously. It takes me forever to reset everything. What if anything can I do?

Since a few days I'm unable to download or re-install Firefox on my laptop. This follows performance problems which I wanted to solve by uninstalling / reinstalling the browser. The installing process ultimately times out.

Is the following true and do you advise taking the steps mentioned. Cookies are dying. Google has been phasing out third-party cookies in Chrome, and Apple has aggressively blocked them in Safari for years. Advertisers needed a replacement that users cannot easily clear, block, or reset. Browser fingerprinting is that replacement: it is invisible, persistent, and rebuilds itself if your setup changes slightly. The result? Targeted ads that follow you across devices and sessions, even when you think you’ve gone "private." And because it operates below the surface of most privacy laws, the protections many people rely on simply don’t apply. What Actually Works to Protect Yourself Most people get privacy wrong by making their setup more unique (rare browsers + 30 extensions = the most identifiable fingerprint on the internet). True anonymity comes from uniformity, not obscurity. Here are the proven defenses, ranked by effectiveness: 1. Choose the right browser (the single biggest decision) Tor Browser – The gold standard. It forces every user to share the exact same fingerprint. Anonymity through uniformity. Brave – Excellent middle ground for everyday use. It randomizes canvas, WebGL, audio, and other fingerprintable surfaces every session. Firefox (with strict settings) – Strong out of the box and highly customizable. Avoid Chrome for privacy-sensitive activity; it offers no native fingerprint resistance. 2. Add the right extensions (Firefox or Brave only) uBlock Origin – Blocks fingerprinting scripts before they can run. (Note: Chrome’s Manifest V3 severely limited the full version; Firefox is required for maximum protection.) CanvasBlocker – Randomizes your canvas output whenever a site tries to read it. 3. Flip one powerful Firefox setting Type about:config in the address bar → search for privacy.resistFingerprinting → set it to true. This standardizes canvas, timezone, fonts, and other outputs so you blend in with everyone else. Takes 30 seconds and makes a measurable difference.

lost all bookmarks and can not add them back. tried the restarting, importing from Google, etc. Sadly I am off of Firefox after more than 20 years using it. Fortunately Google works fine for me, but I miss Firfox.

I have installed every devices to Bitwarden except extension browser. I have kept all preparation -Mozilla firefox with add on Complete Bitwardar. So please guide me to successfully Thanks Ashok Jivraj Shah

When VPN is on, an error message comes up on Firefox saying "Server can't be found." Not much good using VPN software if it doesn't let you go to any sites. YouTube, the Washington Post, even Googling the question about this beta all comes up with an error message when the product is turned on. I'm currently on a Macbook Pro with the latest system software: Tahoe

My security suite is Norton 360. I refreshed FF and would like to place (as before) an icon in the address bar (to the left of puzzle piece) for the password manager extension. The extension is installed. Please help.

Thanks, Jake

How do I get the 'open in new tab' option back when I use the right button on my mouse. It does not appear on the menu when I right click? This is a change overnight and I have not altered any settings.

Dear All, I recently reinstalled Windows and updated to the latest Firefox. When I tried to sign in to sync/restore my bookmarks, Firefox could not recognize my password. I reset it and used the new password, but the bookmarks that appeared were outdated, and not all information synced to my current account.Could you please advise on the steps (or a quick solution) to fix this?Many thanks for your support in advance.Kind regards, Tareq Zeyad

I am trying to set up the free firefox VPN. The instructions say to "click the VPN icon in the top right of the toolbar. If it is not there, then click the VPN icon in toolbar. Huh??? It is not there, now what?
