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.

It seems to me that recovery from backup only allows one to recover ALL bookmarks. But maybe one wants to recover only one folder, or only a few folders. Can that be done? If so, how?

Hi,

I am not a tech savy person. My firefox crashed on my laptop. Now all my book marks are gone. But the book marks are there on my iPhone. Can somebody please please help me to restore?

I went to youtube account of Jack Storm Jack Storms | The Glass Sculptor - YouTube; I tapped on his "website" and the next thing I know are the at least 3 side messages regarding a virus. I have attached one photo of said message.

this is another: https://berht-shv.com/zclkvisitor/9a3fb513-fa41-11f0-acfd-12edde5c536d/85aefdc2-9ed0-48aa-922d-60f9f9fc0f2d?campaignid=9a50f321-fa41-11f0-acfd-12edde5c536d

Please direct me as to next moves. I did put on strict.

Hi, I recently had a situation where I closed my browser, and when I opened it back up all my tabs and entire session was gone. There was no option to restore via any of the common or traditional ways. This was honestly traumatizing because I've put so much work into the setup of my tabs/folders, etc., for work purposes. SO MUCH TO LOSE. I ended up finding a partial restore deep in the files on my computer, but it missed the past 6 weeks, which I could never recover.

I'm sure I'm not alone - I've seen many, many posts and people talking about this. I think it's extremely important for Mozilla to ensure that the option of restoring browser sessions remains a reliable one, as many people have important work info, etc.

MY QUESTION: Is there a way to manually set a restore point? In other words, I was able to find the files from the browser session, saved up until 6 weeks ago, but no later than that. So, it's clearly saving sessions somewhere... I'd think it would be easy to prompt it to save at that current point in time asking it to save. Anyone know if possible and how?

Thanks

iv'e been using ff to recover my google account and have gone between the android phone and windows 11 ,i have been having issues and not finished yet , should i be using the ff for android or windows?

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.
