Hello, If I had to sign into my gmail account in order to download Firefox browser, does that mean that my new tablet (that did not have my gmail identity on it before) is now fully enmeshed with the Google identity, even though I will not use it on this new tablet?

My phone has been hacked by someone from the Middle East I have a bogus email is hacked my it has my passwords from Firefox I don't know what else to do but I need help in recovering this and getting this person out of my life

Good morning,

Today I have formatted my computer. So, next step is install all the software I use. I use your app and when I reinstalled, I received your advice to update mozilla. I have download the file and I usually check with virus total the link and the file. Your link is ok but the file have a malware.

I'm sorry but how I can trust in your downloads and advices?

Thanks

Hi! This just started today. Not a problem before but...there is some ad blocker that won't let me watch you tub videos on my computer. I've tried fumbling around in settings, privacy, ad blockers etc but not finding the magic button. Any suggesions I'm on a windows 11 pc, using firefox and Gmail suite apps

I received an email threatening to cancel Firefox because of inadequate usage. Is this for real or a scam? I do use Firefox but, perhaps not enough for Mozilla's rules? I would regret losing this privilege. Thanks.

I signed into one of my financial accounts and it said the sign in was with firefox windows 10. I have windows 11 on my computer. Is this a security issue? Fire fox says i am on the latest version

buenas noches, estaba haciendo un analisis y el antivirus me ha detectado un "troyano" en una carpeta de firefox (adjunto captura) y no se que hacer, por si alguien sabe si es un falso positivo o es que de verdad es un troyano

I have been a Firefox user for many years, due to concerns about privacy with using chrome or chrome-based browsers, and because I liked the ethos I understood Firefox to have, of prioritising what is best for users instead of what's best for corporations.

But with every new Firefox update these days, there are new "AI" tools and integrations. Generative "AI" is created based on access to ordinary people's data in ways that are coercive at best or illegal at worst. This is inherently a privacy concern, of course. But beyond that, the current "AI" bubble in tech is bad for internet users and for humans on planet earth as a whole, in many ways that have been elucidated in detail by people who are much more knowledgeable than me. Whatever small benefits "AI" can provide within a user's experience of Firefox are not worth this whole heap of trade-offs.

Watching Firefox go down this route is starting to make me think that maybe it's no better than the megacorps that mediate most people's experience of the internet, and if that's the case, then why would anyone bother to put up with the hiccups that Firefox users semi-regularly experience, where a webpage does not work as intended because the developers didn't bother to make sure it was Firefox compatible.

And as a side-bar, until I found guides online for how to fully shut down certain "AI" features of Firefox, my laptop was behaving with SO much lag whenever Firefox was open that it was becoming nearly unuseable. The modern unmodified Firefox is incompatible with cheaper or older computers, with the amount of computing resources required.

This whole thing just smacks of Firefox jumping on the popularity train for "AI" because it's what all the other companies are doing and Firefox leadership is afraid of being left behind, instead of making decisions based on what is best for the actual community of ordinary users.

I don't expect my post here to actually change anything, but I do feel it is my responsibility to say something, so that my silence cannot be taken as tacit approval for Firefox's current direction.

Thanks,

Soph

My browser later stop working telling me that they encounter an error it stop browsing but after restarting of the PC it started working. Please set and update my mozilla against such. It was talking about secure security. Please set it up for me.

I just set up a Rakuten account which alllows me to buy things on line. Mozilla-Firefox won't let me buy through this website (i.e., the Rakuten website). How do I get Firefox to allow me to do what I want. I have no idea which version of Firefox I'm using. I'm assuming that its fairly recent.

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to divar.ir because this website requires a secure connection.
