Both 'Enhanced Tracking Protection' and 'Site permissions' show exceptions and an explanation of what they are (for 'Enhanced Tracking Protection' anyway) but seem to have no way to add an exception.

How are exceptions added 'Enhanced Tracking Protection' and 'Site permissions' in Fennec?

Thanks

When logging in to any app or website, instead of my saved log in info(username, password) popping up or being auto-filled, I get a button that says "Unlock Firefox." Tapping or holding the button does nothing. How do I disable this "feature?"

DNS over HTTPS is undermining my family DNS filter. Can I password protect the DNS settings or other solution?

Hello all,

I had been using firefox as the standard browser for years, but since the DNS-over-HTTPS feature I have had trouble with protecting my family on the web via DNS filtering. Currently the only solution that has worked is to use a different browser (the Spin browser, for whoever is interested). I have Firefox blocked using the Android family link feature (and they can't install new apps without permission). Personally, I would love to move everyone back to Firefox, but I can't find a way to do it safely. Is there a way to effectively disable DNS-over-HTTPS such that it can't be changed (kids are pretty quick at figuring out that they can just go to the settings and figuring out that they can turn the feautre back on). A parental control feature would be ideal, so I can just set the DNS-over-HTTPS to use the family DNS filter in a way they can't turn it off. Does anyone have an helpful solution, or is Firefox dead for family protection?

Respectfully, Andrew

How do we permanently block and keep a website from being able to return bk into a person's life after the site was the cause of an immense amount of financial and emotional hardship. By having something that does this, like the Duck browser does, our clients, friends and family will feel more safe, right?

When will Gecko-based Firefox Android increase the number of default search engines in 2025?

Currently it hosts only Big Tech namely Google and Microsoft Bing and DuckDuckGo, which is Bing and MSN results in DuckDuckGo and Qwant (same Bing results) latter which works only in the UK.

I'm using Gecko-based browsers like Fenix and Mull and Iceraven, and they all come with like 5 to 10 search engine options.

Adding new search engines is a mess and doesn't sync with Firefox account settings, so futile efforts.

Even Chrome allows us to select our search engine, if we are visiting it too much.

Is Firefox really privacy based browser or just Big Tech in Firefox like Google as default search engine out of the box, no asking which the XYZ user wants?

Hello

Is it possible to enable a password protection when starting the Firefox app on Android ? In special when saved passwords are used they are entered automatically and there is no additional protection of those when going on a website for which the password was saved. E.g. when somebody unlock your device the person is able to start Firefox and going through chronic or pages where you might enabled automatically password fill in. Can this be protected by pin or fingerprint?(like in the Firefox Password manager)

Thank you

Hi Firefox Team,

I think it is time for firefox to provide adblock as a default functionality or a feature where user can enable or disable. I see brave browser has that functionality by default. why doesn't firefox offer this aspart of it. Instead of I installing additional application or extension to block ads.

Could you please consider this in the next release?

Thanks,

Hi, I have a problem with remembering the login details on the account - the point is that everything works fine on the browser on the computer, while on the browser on the phone (android) it sees the login details, but after selecting it, it does not complete the login fields as if there were no such data and they are, after checking the tab "saved login details" and finding the login, I manually copy the data and paste it on the page, then I log in ok. Why does the login not work with saved logins? Has anyone had or has the same problems? P.S Synchronization is done, the browser is reinstalled, it's the same on another phone

Hi everyone, My android device has been thouroughly hacked, reconfigured and I was put under administration while the hijacking of my accounts took place. I have tried to sign up with one of my 3 outlook email addresses and none of them will work. I get to the part of sign up that says we've sent an email to the address I provided. I go to that inbox and there's an immediately received mail which doesn't allow for me to verify my email with the code. It just goes straight to an account. Where can I find out who's signed in where on which account and how do I find and unlink the devices being used to hack me so violently. Any advice would be great thanks so much guys

My browsing-history on Firefox was read by another app... I will list specifics to give a little potential context:

A couple nights ago, I decided to order food from Cheesecake Factory THROUGH the Firefox browser. At this time, I did not even open any food-app, not even in my recently used apps. The following day, I get a notification from DoorDash saying, ‘Try the cheesecake factory AGAIN and get 20% off,’ etc... Granted, I am also using a VPN, so all my internet traffic / web-browsing is encrypted leaving and coming into the phone.

It increasingly seems like companies touting ‘Privacy’ is just a gimic. It's extremely frustrating.
