At home we have a shared computer with Ubuntu and Firefox as main browser. Each family member has its own Linux user.

We use the functionality of Firefox saving passwords, however we've noticed that these passwords are visible between the Linux users. So, for instance if two of us use the same website, somehow our user/pass get are visible to each other. Is this behavior expected? How can we set FF to make the user/pass visible only to the Linux user who is using it?

Cheers

Hello. I just have a general question. I have read about it a little but I get mixed info. Some say yes, some say no.... So, is it possible to get a virus or malware or any of that spyware stuff on mobile phones like you can on a computer? Particularly Android phones. They have all these anti-virus apps and stuff you can download saying they're designed specifically for Android mobile devices but then I have read articles that say that the Android operating system is not the same as, let's say, a Windows PC operating system so it's not possible to download spyware onto it. I'm just curious and appreciate any info. Thank you!!

I like the Firefox browser and Firefox was working fine for months but Firefox did ask me to do another update today. I did the update as requested and after the update Firefox will not connect to any websites on my desktop despite an excellent internet connection. I cannot find anyway to contact Firefox directly. For major problems such as a 100 percent failure rate to connect to any website, Firefox should provide direct help to the user as to the current major problem. I appreciate user ideas but Firefox should offer some help for major problems as the likely solutions can change over time. Hopefully if Firefox oversees user questions, someone at Firefox tech will at least respond to my question on this website or better yet contact me directly.

The problem may well be the update itself. The Firefox browser is working on my smartphone but not the desktop internet browser. I have some browser settings that I do not want to lose which a complete Firefox removal and reinstall would likely cause. Any suggestions from fellow Firefox users are appreciated and I look forward to them. Have other Firefox users experienced this major problem?

Thank you.

My PC died and I could not boot from bootable flash drive.

I had been backing up the system with Acronis to a WD Passport.

I purchased a new computer, and when I did a restore, upon starting Firefox, I did not have my old bookmarks, which are many.

Aren't they stored in a backup? If so, how do I get them back. I'm sure that some of the bookmarks came over from Netscape Navigator.

Thanks,

Bob

Some web sites such as Amazon have an options bars to select items like 'review order'. When the web page first comes up, they show white in the dark bar. But Firefox is immediately changing the white to purple so that it is almost impossible to read. I haven't been able to find anything in settings to correct this. I do not have this issue when I use Chrome.

Hello there,

During my quest of trying to get macOS and apps to look more like I want, I haven't found any answer online on how to modify the rounding of Firefox corners to be square. I have also heard that Firefox has a known bug of not respecting system appearance, so I have decided not to mess around with important system files. So my question is: What would be your recommended way to square the window corners for macOS?

Hello, I am trying to login to my account on www.zazzle.com and use their site. Sometimes it will let me through and I can be on the site for about 20 minutes before a captcha comes up that says press and hold this button so we know you are not a bot. Well the button never works, it always errs out and gives me the message to please try again, and then locks me out of their site. I have tried clearing my cache and cookies, updating my browser, resetting the router, I don't have any VPN's, I have tried working in a private window, adding the website to the privacy exceptions, block pop up windows is unchecked, I am out of ideas, what do I do??

Today following a brief power outage I was no longer able to sign in to AOL with Firefox on my desktop computer. I am able to sign in to all other apps with no problem. I tried clearing my cache, restarted Firefox, restarted my computer and spent 30 minutes on remote desktop access assistance with AOL trying to fix the problem with no success. I can log in to my account using Chrome on the desktop computer and can log in with no problem using my Android phone but can't log in using my desktop computer with Firefox. I've verified that my Firefox version is updated. I am running Windows 11 Pro.

I would greatly appreciate any helpful advice.
