I have gone into about:config and changed all the telemetry entries et al to false to prevent as much datareporting as possible - what I want to do is prevent Firefox (135) from creating the 'datareprting' folder in my profile folder. I delete it every time I go into Firefox, which is an everyday pain because it returns with EVERY new session. I delete it 1. because they don't need it, and 2. more importantly, firefox is NOTICEABLY faster once it is deleted. People have been asking this since like FF 40. Can anyone solve this?

Software is Preventing Firefox From Safely Connecting to This Site

news.google.com is most likely a safe site, but a secure connection could not be established. This issue is caused by Private Internet Access, which is either software on your computer or your network.

What can you do about it?

news.google.com has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.

   If your antivirus software includes a feature that scans encrypted connections (often called “web scanning” or “https scanning”), you can disable that feature. If that doesn’t work, you can remove and reinstall the antivirus software.
   If you are on a corporate network, you can contact your IT department.
   If you are not familiar with Private Internet Access, then this could be an attack, and there is nothing you can do to access the site.

I look at porn on my Android phone. I use Private Browsing to do so. Why are my Private Browsing addresses appearing as Firefox Suggest results that appear outside of Private Browsing as well? And why does Pornhub show me a personalized home page when I'm using Private Browsing? None of these pages are in my browser history because I've only accessed them via Private Browsing. But these "features" sort of defeat the purpose of it don't you think?

I've just switched from Chrome to Firefox and never had this issue with Chrome.

As creator of retroonline.net. We recently noticed Firefox have limited value size in IDB which Chrome and Edge do not have. This limitation prevents big games running on Firefox despite Firefox has the best performance on WASM. Will there be a proper way to change this limitation or plan to remove it?

I run a security company in London that provides security guards and related services. Our website is crucial for attracting new clients, handling inquiries, and showcasing our services. However, we’ve recently noticed that the site has become very slow to load and, at times, completely unresponsive.

At first, I thought it was a temporary issue, but it has persisted for several days. Some visitors have reported that the website takes too long to load, while others say they receive error messages or SSL warnings. Since our business relies on the website for leads and customer engagement, this is a serious concern.

What I Have Checked So Far:

Verified that our hosting provider is operational

Cleared the website cache and restarted the server Scanned for malware or security breaches Checked that our SSL certificate is valid Tested the website on different devices and networks

I’m unsure whether this is due to server problems, high traffic, a DDoS attack, or a misconfiguration in our website settings. Has anyone experienced something similar? Could this be a DNS issue, firewall restriction, or a hosting-related problem? Any troubleshooting advice or solutions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help! https://gmsecurityservices.co.uk/

Liebe Community, ich habe ein Problem bei der Nutzung von Apps, die eine Zwei-Faktor-Authentifizierung ermöglichen sollen (in meinem Falle enteAuth und OneAuth). Ich habe diese Apps probiert und komme mit beiden nicht zurecht, da sie alle 10-20 Sekunden einen neuen Code generieren, obwohl ich ja erstmal den von mir gescannten Code verifizieren muss. Der Mozilla Login sagt mir dann immer, der Code sei falsch. Dabei wollte ich eigentlich nur Themes gestalten hier im Online-Editor. Liebe Grüße Sven

Dear community, I have a problem when using apps that are supposed to enable two-factor authentication (in my case enteAuth and OneAuth). I have tried these apps and can't get along with either of them because they generate a new code every 10-20 seconds, even though I first have to verify the code I have scanned. The Mozilla login then always tells me that the code is incorrect. I actually only wanted to design themes here in the online editor. Best regards Sven

About once a week, since 1/4/25, I been receiving different emails demanding payment or the author will divulge to all of my email contacts about the pornography I am supposedly viewing, which I do not. Can you do anything to close these email accounts? All of the messages are from different authors with different email addresses. I keep thinking this will run its course and end but it has not. Thanks. Jim Woodburn

Up until recently if I suspected a javascript error all I needed to do was type Ctrl-Shift-K and the console would display showing me javascript errors. With the most recent update of Firefox that doesn't happen. I can bring up the console but there are no errors displayed.

Thanks in advance, Paul

PS. a topic called "Debugging issues" of something similar should be added to the topic dropdown list.
