Firefox on my Android smartphone is well synchronized with Firefox on the computer. I can see that both contain the same list of logins and passwords. When I must log in other applications, there is a notice that appears saying "unlock faierferox" followed by the sign of fingerprints. But when I try to have my fingerprint recognized, nothing happens.

What should I do?

Thanks for helping.

My phone was hacked and because I was signed into Firefox, I believe my saved passwords were accessed. I had opened a political text in messenger, nothing to click on, nor would I, closed the app and put down my phone. When I picked up my phone, messenger was opened with a text about to send with a password I've used, but no app name or website. I located which app it belonged to. I ran my virus protection, but phone was fine.

If there was a way to answer security questions, or send me an email or text to verify who I was before I could access saved passwords, that would be great. Could this be added to the web browser?

How do the fingerprinter blocking levels work across Firefox's standard/strict/custom Enhanced Tracking Protection in Windows and Android?

I'm having trouble breaking down the specific behavior of fingerprinting protection for the 3 settings levels.

According to the Windows release notes dated 1 October 2023, "Additionally, you can choose whether to block Suspected Fingerprinters in all windows or just in private windows", but also, "To disable Fingerprinting Protection and return to the default settings, simply select "Standard" or "Strict"

In my reading, these two statements conflict. I'm under the impression that "known fingerprinter" blocking is always active, even on standard. Does enabling "Strict" enhanced protection also enable "suspected fingerprinter" blocking, and if so, is it active on all windows or only in private browsing? Does that mean we need to use the "Custom" setting to enable suspected fingerprinting blocking in all windows?

My question is the same for Firefox for Android 131.0, except in the mobile app's case, the release notes contain even less detail - so I could also be off-base there. TBH I am probably missing something obvious, so if anybody can even point me in the right direction I'd be grateful!

Thanks for any insight anybody can provide!
