I switched from chrome to firefox earlier this year because I was TIRED of google chrome and its horrific privacy and security. I'm extremely disappointed to hear that your new CEO wants to further integrate AI into Firefox. If this course is not reversed, I WILL be uninstalling Firefox. I will also encourage all of my friends (whom I just convinced to switch from chrome with me) to switch as well.

I have dealt with the shortcomings of Firefox because it does not integrate AI.

If Firefox is also going to integrate AI, there is absolutely no reason for me to continue using it.

Hi I've been using add on Tab Mix - Rename Tab in the past and lately it's no working. Found reason to be permission for "Access local files on your computer", see attached

I can't remember what it was in previous version of Firefox, but want to know if it's safe to turn on permission, guessing there's a reason why it's now off, thanks

I had switched to Firefox some time ago because of the privacy-invading AI that Google and Microsoft were implementing at the time, and it appeared Mozilla had their consumers' interests in mind when it came to privacy and performance. I suppose even they are willing to shoot themselves in the foot with the market failure that is generative AI, despite the recent reports about Copilot's abysmal sales proving that this maneuver is incredibly short-sighted.

Not only are these AI "features" enabled by default upon updating, the options to disable each of them are all hidden away in the about:config page. On top of that, having these options enabled leads to worse performance overall, and the breach of privacy inherent to these features is quite worrisome as well.

The best step now is to remove these features completely. If Mozilla won't remove them, they should at least have them disabled by default, making them opt-in as opposed to the opt-out situation currently in place. Perhaps they could be listed as proper options somewhere in about:preferences so that people don't have to comb through the about:config list?

I know I would appreciate not having to switch browsers again, and I'm sure plenty of users would like to have their privacy respected as well. We don't want to see this browser become as terrible to use as other big-name brands. If Mozilla keep pushing these invasive features, we will find something else to use.

I need help reporting a suspicious website. I am concerned that the website may be misleading users and may be attempting to collect personal information through deceptive methods. I would like to know how Firefox can help identify whether the website is unsafe, phishing, or impersonating another service, and how I can properly report or block the site. Please advise me on the appropriate steps to protect myself and other users.

see what appears when I open firefox as an uploaded image: has anyone else had this appear... can not find a way to report what in my view is fraud...'AI' said no new terms,conditions,privacy by firefox, mozilla since spring so is it a 'page overlay' as 'AI' said? also I can not find a way that will open to report to mozilla, can some one forward to report fraud?

If there only one question I get an answer to that would be: how can I delete it and block it forever?

thx

I think that i get some virus in my computer, in the last two days some of my accounts were accessed by an unusual way.

I´d like to know if the problem was my passwords kept on firefox, all the apps that were hacked had the password saved on the firefox manager.

There's a way to know if my passwords on the Firefox were stolen ?

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to player.vimeo.com because this website requires a secure connection.

What can you do about it?

player.vimeo.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.

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it.

If you are on a corporate network or using antivirus software, you can reach out to the support teams for assistance. You can also notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

I can't delete the malware "Startfenster. I tried to find help with "Google"-Search. Without any success! This malware exists for me in "Firefox" only. Other browsers are not affected. Perhaps anyone can help me... Thank's!

Today as I got to work (Windows 11 machine), I had a suspicious Firefox.exe file on my Desktop, it was not a shortcut, but exe file. I did a little investigation and research, and I noticed some difference from Program Files exe file and Firefox.exe on my Desktop:

C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe

Size: 695424 bytes SHA-256 hash: EEB242895F8ED48B43EAAA9ECA06C6DDE54425F8AE0E16200D2D46F839B9A540 File version: 145.0.0.327 Copyright: ©Firefox and Mozilla Developers Date modified: 16.11.2025 12:35 Original filename: firefox.exe Digital Signature: Mozilla Corporation

and Firefox.exe that appeared on Desktop

C:\Users\User\Desktop\Firefox.exe

Size: 389248 bytes SHA-256 hash: E8DA5735FE1B5E92BA3636B8D17B5BEC0EA521DB6A8B5A52177FF3E8B2F60710 File version: 145.0.0.327 Copyright: Licence: MPL 2 Date modified: 16.11.2025 12:35 Original filename: desktop-launcher.exe Digital Signature: Mozilla Corporation

I scanned both files in VirusTotal, and they both seems clean and legit

I uploaded both files to:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kALgQbfhIpHqs1pN6dmTdF71nm10LlD-/view?usp=sharing

Can somebody assure me that both files are OK, and can somebody explain to me why Firefox.exe appeared on my Desktop, and why is there difference between two files in size, Copyright info, and original filename ?

Hello, I choose to use Firefox because it does not have the amount of bloat and spyware that exist with other browsers. I fear that the recent call to add AI to the browser's functions will both slow the processing time down as well as increase the amount of spyware involved. I cannot see how this is a positive for the future of Firefox. All I can say definitively at this point is that should AI functions be added in I will be finding a way to never use them, even if it means kneecapping things for other functionality in the process. I will also be keeping an eye out for extensions or addons that remove the AI, as I have already with other AI online.
