Why is Firefox, the most private browser, tracking my postal code and other private data on the Android phone?

instagram.com not asking for notification permission, so I'm not able to receive notifications from this site.
Someone else experiencing this? Is there something that I and/or Firefox and/or Instagram can do to fix this?

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!

On Firefox mobile there is no option to disable history unlike Firefox desktop version.

I keep getting these notifications, and because they relate to Bitwarden" I'm very reluctant to just click on the "accept" button in the message because of the possibility of a scam and the exposure it may create.
Is the notification genuine? How do I know? How can I update Firefox settings to achieve the same result without responding to the notification?
Bit paranoid I accept, but better careful than having regrets! Thks

Hi,
I have a Samsung S22 Ultra on android 13 and the version of Firefox app is 107.2.0
All adult content is blocked whilst in a normal browser, however, in a private browser it's fine.
Trying to login to lovehoney.co.uk and annsummrs.com with no joy.
I am the bill payer and have no issues in Chrome.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what the issue is?
Thanks

I gotta ask... why isn't there a setting to remove private browsing on firefox? Now yeah sure it's free security but we got add ons for that. I've always felt like private browsing and incognito stuff is just a way to go to pornhub feeling secured from criticism. That's why I quit Chrome (+ being able to watch YouTube with ads for free) so I gotta ask again... why isn't there a setting to remove private browsing on firefox?

I'm trying to set my DNS settings in Firefox Nightly to a custom service. But i am having nothing but problems.
"Firefox Nightly 128.0a1 (Build #2016025199)"
I want to use one of these settings for the secured w/ECS:Malware blocking, DNSSEC Validation, ECS enabled.
My only problem is I'm not sure which format of the address options I should be inputting in the DNS settings in the about:config
Please help.
Secured w/ECS: Malware blocking, DNSSEC Validation, ECS enabled
IPv4 9.9.9.11 149.112.112.11
IPv6 2620:fe::11 2620:fe::fe:11
HTTPS https://dns11.quad9.net/dns-query
TLS tls://dns11.quad9.net
P S. Yes I know I can set a custom DNS address in the connections settings of my android device. And it works most of the time. I however want my own settings in the browser itself.
Thank you in advance
I would like to use the "Delete Browsing Data on Quit" feature, but have a whitelist of websites to not have their browsing data deleted like on desktop.

I have a little website that tracks my location. I keep it open in a tab almost always, since I use it daily. About once a day Firefox wants me to log in again, and after that, the location info is disabled. Is there not a way to survive that I trust that site, and want it to have access to my location every time? Even better if I did not have to log in so often.
All this on a Fairphone, Android 12

Hi. After your most recent update to the FireFox app on the playstore, I have noticed that the location setting on my app came enabled. Upon clearing it, it tells me that doing so will decrease the functionality of the app, and when I clear the app data the location permission is re-enabled. Is there anyway I can fix this? This is a big privacy concern for me.

On Firefox the normal Android FIDO/U2F/WebAuth/whatever it's called these days screen does not show up that lets you select if you want to auth with an on-device security key, an NFC key, or a USB key.
Instead, a custom pop-up shows which has no support for USB or NFC keys (like the YubiKey).
Could Firefox please either add support for USB/NFC security keys or just use the built-in android security key feature which already supports this. I cannot switch from Chrome without this feature because it means I cannot login to websites I use.

I Have gone thru absolutely every menu setting visible in FF for Android... and there has been no current findable answer provided in the forums. What's the deal? This should be easy. If it's just no longer an option, please say so. There's Nothing under "Enhance Tracking Protection" whether OFF or "standard"; Nothing under "Customization"; Nothing under "Private Browsing"; Nothing under "HTTPS ONLY" -- Not when enabled or Disabled; Nothing under "Site Permissions"; Nothing under "Exceptions". Thank you!!
