Hi,

Can we get an auto-reconnect feature in Mozilla VPN?

It's a requirement for my particular setup as my agent operates independently, but errors out when the VPN is off. Ideally we would be able to select the suitable regions that it tries to connect to after a drop - a first, second, third drop down menu or similar would work.

How would one purge their cookies, search history, tab data while resetting/randomising identifiable information (for example if Firefox were to give each user a serial number or unique tag which it hands to webpages), all without resetting a users a user's browser settings, about:config & browser extensions downloaded (and extension settings). I am using Debian GNU/Linux, so bear in mind that I will be using the most stable version of Firefox on the Debian repos, not the newest version. I do not have a command line phobia, I am willing to do a lot of initial setup & run a specific command every time I launch the browser, even if said command is long. My current system involves rm -rfing the profile on a browser, but this is not optimal because it removes settings & extensions.

Thank you verry much for your assistance, I know this is a large undertaking and it a little overboard on the privacy and security front.

Just getting started using Mozilla features after many years absence. So much has changed! I have yet to decide what I need help with. All of it! So let me proceed on my own to figure this out and return for support when I feel I need it most, and more importantly, when I feel I feel I have the time and energy to devote to the learning curve required.

We are getting substantially more junk mail with the change of our X@RetroCA.com email from Verio/Apollo to roundcube+ - what can be done to get back to very low junk mail like we used to have? Currently I am moving dozens of emails from our inbox to the junk box.

Thanks. John Corgiat for Retrouvaille of Nor Cal X@RetroCA.com

I wanted to try out the new VPN location feature to access BBC Sounds again. So I set it to UK and opened the website. Yesterday, it worked a single time. Then I had some trouble setting up VPN and profiles and stuff (I can't route all traffic through the public VPN because some pages are in my local network or Wireguard VPN). Today I have a separate Firefox profile and tried again, but it repeatedly doesn't work. I cleared cache, cookies and all the rest, but it keeps redirecting me to bbc.com. My public IP address through Mozilla VPN UK is 63.2xx.xxx.xxx which is registered in the USA, so that VPN location trick is probably useless, fake or broken. Any experiences with that?

Hello,

I am building a browser automation tool using Firefox Developer Edition. Recently, I started running into an issue where an "Agree to Terms" (or Privacy/Welcome) popup appears when the browser launches.

Because this is an automated environment, this popup blocks my scripts from running properly because human interaction is required to click past it.

My Setup:

Browser: Firefox Developer Edition (latest version)

Use case: Automated testing/scripting

What I am trying to achieve: I need to know how to stop this popup from appearing entirely, or how to automatically agree to it. Are there specific command-line flags (similar to Chrome's startup flags) or about:config profile preferences I can inject when launching the browser to bypass this?

I have attached a screenshot of the exact popup I am seeing.

Any advice on the exact flags or preferences needed to silence this for automation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hello,

support.mozilla.org/kb/website-translation says, when you do not have downloaded translation packs, parts of the packs will be downloaded when you first use the translation function.

My questions about this feature: - How does this work exactly? - Will the words from the website which i try to translate be collected and "downloaded"? - How are the translation language packs parted? - What information will be used and sent to servers/cloud to request these parts of the translation packs?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best Regards

Bjoern
