You say, "Some essential Mozilla services are excluded from VPN routing to ensure sign-in, VPN reconnection, and screens needed to sign in for public Wi-Fi work properly. All other browsing activity in Firefox remains protected when the VPN is on."

How then am I protected in any kind of secure way?

All it would take is the Mozilla services using my public IP to lose my browsing protection. How are those connections secured to protect my identity from being exposed once the VPN is enabled and even after the VPN is enabled?

If the public IP can be discovered at sign-in, re-connections, and public Wi-Fi connections before the VPN is enabled, then that same public IP can be traced through internal logs to uncover all the VPN activity done after sign-in, re-connections, and public Wi-Fi access. So, how exactly can I trust the VPN protects my activity at all?

I'm just curious how you setup any protection prior to the VPN being enabled? I'm a former IT Network Specialist I had my CISCO CCNA certificate (Worked in school districts who wouldn't pay for additional certificates so I did all the study work and practice testing up to the CCNP certification just could never afford to take any of the exams beyond the CCNA). So, when I see these additional things like your 50 GB of free browser VPN and read how it works I get curious about the actual protections being provided. Are the people more vulnerable than they may be led to believe?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been experiencing synchronization issues with Firefox lately.

Current situation: Tabs sync correctly between devices, but bookmarks and passwords no longer sync between my iPhone and my computer.

I’ve also considered an issue with profiles, I currently have three Firefox profiles:

• default-release (currently in use)
• default
• default-release-1

I also used Firefox Troubleshoot Mode (restart with add-ons disabled) to test the issue.

sync-log : The sync-logs show many success-sync entries and only a couple of error-syncs. There are no obvious connection issues (I’m using a shared connection in a rural area). However, bookmarks and passwords are still not syncing properly across devices.

Observed behavior: Sync is active and "functional" Only specific data types (bookmarks and passwords) are affected The issue persists even after signing out and back into Sync, and restarting Firefox on both devices

Checks already done: Sync is enabled for bookmarks and passwords Sync logs mostly show successful operations rather than errors

Hypothesis: A Firefox profile conflict

Question: How can I restore Sync properly without losing my bookmarks, passwords, or other data?

Thank you for your help.

I followed the instructions to set a security and there is no option to do it. I need to be able to login to all of my gmail accounts. The correct password was used, and is shown when I click the key icon and is accepted on other browsers. What is the problem and how do I fix it?

I have a local Rocky Linux server running a nginx web server. I am using a Macos laptop. I am trying to install a self signed ssl certificate using openssl on my web server.. The certificate I generated works with Safari but not with Firefox. I have copied the certificate to both Safari and Firefox for local use. Privacy and Security, Manage Certificates, Your Certificates. Firefox complains that that my TLS is tls 1.1, when I am using tls 1.3:

An error occured during connection to tls-v1-1.badssl.com:1011. Peer using unsupported version of security protocol.

My test on my server shows:

sudo curl -v https://caprock.home

Furthermore I can't seem to delete the certificate from Firefox and re add it?

I have checked my setttings to ensure everything to do with history is checked and all is showing as it should but when I start typing in the URL search bar, none of my previously visited websites appear. They are still in my history so i know they haven't been cleared but it is frustrating, as even after I manually type in the address, if I try to go back to that website later the same day it still doesn't appear.

Today (4/27/2026) I am suddenly unable to log in to My Account on various websites (eMail, grocery store...) The business page opens but when I try to go to the account login page, I either get a blank page or the page spins and spins and never goes to the login page. I am able to get to the logins on Safari. I've cleared cache and cookies, and closed out of Firefox and reopened.

bold textEVERY TIME I OPEN A NEW WINDOW IT CREATES A NEW TAB. IT CREATES A LIST OF TABS I MUST THEN CLEAR. HOW DO I CHANGE IT TO REPLACLE MY CURRENT WINDOW INSTEAD?

After I updated to the Version 150.0, everytime I want to check something on the mac menu bar, the whole page gets pushed down. Only the toolbar used to drop before the update. Thanks for any help in advance.

When I open Firefox for the first time after logging in to my macbook, after a few minutes, a second Firefox icon appears in the dock at the bottom of the screen. Why is this happening (only started a few days ago)? And how do I stop it?

Hello

I have a 2021 IMAC desktop OS 13.7.8 In the last few days I have updated to Firefox 150.0 since then, my computer will not sleep if Firefox is open even if I select the Apple menu---sleep to manually make it sleep, it goes dark and comes back awake within 5-10 seconds. I CANNOT get it to sleep with Firefox open. If I close FIrefox, then I can get it to sleep. ANy windows that I keep open are windows I have had open for weeks and this did not affect the IMAC;s ability to sleep in the previous version of FIrefox. The only thing that has changed is FIrefox so I am telling you there is a problem...PLEASE fix it asap.

YES.....I have , as suggested in help sources.....done these..... 1)Settings > Privacy & Security > Autoplay and set it to "Block Audio and Video" 2)about:config in the address bar, search for media.video-wakelock, and set it to false

Today Firefox started acting up on YouTube. I couldn't use pause or play buttons. I rebooted my computer (though Safari works fine), I force quit Firefox and restarted it. No dice. I finally removed it from my Macbook Pro and redownloaded it. But it obviously wasn't a fresh copy because it still had all my bookmarks and extensions included. It worked for a short while and then started acting up again. I don't have any new extensions so I'm not sure what's causing the problem.

Since it seems corrupt, I don't want another copy of what I already have on my current Firefox App. I want to start over to see if it works better.

I would like to know how to do that since deleting the app and redownloading didn't give me a fresh app without all my other stuff included.

Any help would be appreciated. I found a great video addressing this but it was for Windows so I couldn't apply the info to my Mac. I checked my history but couldn't find that video which may have helped someone with Windows. Grrrr!

Hello, First my Q, then a comment. My bookmarks all show the same date. I can't find what I was going to use for work today because I can't find it in the bookmarks. This has happened frequently, more than not. Please help. On another note, I had said the YouTube commercial blocking wasn't working, but it is now on my Mac OS after changing some settings. Now I'd like to do that on my iphone 11 if possible. I can't seem to open settings the same way. Thank you.

I can not sign into a banking site - last several months. It gives me this feed back : "Explanation The Application Gateway attempted to fetch the resource you requested from a junction Web server. However, the Application Gateway received an authentication challenge from the junction server while handling your request. There is currently no sign-on information configured for this junction server. Solutions Configure the junction with the appropriate sign-on information. Disable authentication at the junction Web server. " How do I do this? I try to keep FireFox up to date . On Mac Tahoe 26.3.1

I've been using MAC (multi-account containers) for a few months. Awesome feature, especially useful for logging into multiple email accounts in the same tenant (M365, GW, etc). In the recent past, if I had an issue with a particular login, I could go to the Firefox Multi-Account Containers extension button on the top bar, click on it...then Manage Containers, select the container to manage, there was a set of options, one of them being "Clear Cookies and Site Data" (or similarly worded). That would clear the data for that MAC which would resolve my issue. Now. that option is no longer shown when clicking the Manage Containers button. I've included a snapshot of what is shown now.

The ability to clear the data for that particular MAC is invaluable. How can I get that back?

MacOS (26.3.1 a). Firefox 150.0 (aarch64)

P.S. I just found the "Report" option on the extension itself in the Extension settings. I will post this message there as well.

Hello, I have multiple devices using Firefox on the same network, and whenever using them at the same time, I get an additional Firefox icon in my doc which will open whatever tab is up on the other device. I was not signed in to any account on either device, yet it is still sharing tab data across devices.

I then created an account and signed in on one device and disabled every Sync option I could find, but still the sharing is enabled over local network. How do I disable this so there is no communication between the two devices?

Device 1 - MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) macOS Monterey 12.7.6 Firefox Version 149.0.2

Device 2 - MacBook Pro 14-inch, 2023 macOS Sequoia 15.4.1 Firefox Version 149.0.2 Local Network access disabled for Firefox in macOS settings

It doesn't seem like this should even be possible given that local network access is disabled for the one device, and neither device is logged into a mozilla account.

Can someone please help me disable this functionality?
