Google family account takes over browser - stop automatic login

I log in with several Google accounts, one of them being my sons school account. Then when I do a search, I get a message saying that I can’t go to that page. In the url it says https://families.google/ … I then go back to log out from his school account (which uses families), but nobody is signed in. I then click sign in because I figure that will get rid of the problem. That, I cannot, and I end up on the login page to his school account. I stopped using safari and went to Firefox to avoid this exact problem and now it is happening again. It is seemingly autologging in to the school account, and they have restrictions on that account that won’t let them surf ads. How do I stop the automatic login?

The previous update I installed three weeks ago has slowed the performance by 80%. Are you aware of this? Is there a plan to fix it? Every page loaded or every switch between tabs takes 10secs. If it doesn’t improve I will leave Firefox for the first time in 20yrs.

The social security website says I must click on an unblock icon in the browsers address bar to upload documents, but I can’t find that. Firefox says I must grant permission to share photos with a website, but it doesn’t say how.

How do I grant permission (where do I find icons to click) to share photos?

Firefox deleting history and data for hotmail, when closing a tab but not the browser

I have used Firefox to log in to Hotmail.com for years. Suddenly Firefox is deleting login data when I close the tab, but not the browser. And when I return to hotmail in a new tab, I now get a window that says it "can't sign me in, try again later." I have to close Firefox and reopen in order to get a new login page. I have always had Firefox set to delete cookies and site data when I close it. Under History setting, it's "use custom settings", "delete history on closing." Under those settings I have browsing and download history unchecked. My hotmail setting is to stay logged in. What's up?! I've always been able to return to a logged in hotmail all day no matter how many times I close the tab and return to it. I've never had that problem before and don't have it with Safari. I also do not have that issue with yahoo mail.

I just updated my iPhone 13 Pro, running iOS 18.5, to the latest version of Firefox mobile (140.3). The app keeps freezing in such a way that I am unable to press the “open tabs” button to view my tabs. Restarting the phone fixes this issue for a while, but it’s been happening again and again in the last couple of days. This issue is impeding my internet browsing so much that I am considering switching to a different browser for my phone.

Hi everyone,


I'm Ajay Hinduja from Geneva, Switzerland (Swiss). The update I installed three weeks ago has drastically reduced performance—everything is running about 80% slower. Every page load or tab switch now takes around 10 seconds.

Is this a known issue, and is there a fix planned? I’ve been a loyal Firefox user for 20 years, but if this continues, I may have to switch browsers.

Thanks! Ajay Hinduja Geneva, Switzerland (Swiss)
