Firefox Community Forum

I noticed a wierd popup when opening mozilla. It said "you're always starting mozilla when starting the pc". How and why does an internet browser have to have any information regarding when I boot my PC? What else does mozilla look at outside the browser environment?

If they claim it's needed for performance: Illogical, boot times have nothing to do with the internet browser. If referring to general performance then you can't possibly track and tailor every new piece of hardware that enters the market. Instead you make your browser with prerequisites that you yourself control (eg. install vcredist for this browser to work or something like that).

Why then is Mozilla monitoring my computer when the browser isn't even open or running?

when I start the browser, alongside homepage, it opens a new unknown page (which I've never searched and opened myself before) with extremely obscene content. for example https://playafterdark.com/click? thanks god, my children haven't seen it yet how is it possible?

I am running Windows 11 Pro and Firefox 147. Beginning the second week of Feb, Chase bank will not allow me to log into their system. They say I have to have Windows 10 or higher and Firefox 128. I am running 147. What else can I do?

L'affichage reste en Anglais alors que l'installation est en Francais, que faut-il faire pour avoir les écrans en Français sans avoir à refaire la traduction pour les pages ?

I am using version 143 for Linux and it is suppose to have improved fingerprinting protection. But when I go to https://coveryourtracks.eff.org i still see a result that says "your browser has a unique fingerprint"

Is there a parameter I should be enabling ?

Hello. I have two questions about settings. 1. I want to hide the "Take Screenshot" option from the Firefox right-click menu. 2. I want to hide the "Original Profile" option from the options that appear when you click the Firefox hamburger menu.

I'm asking about these two points. 1. I'm trying to hide the "Take Screenshot" option, but I couldn't find a solution even after searching. about:config ↓ extensions.screenshots.disabled ↓ From true to false ↓ Even restarting Firefox didn't hide the "Take Screenshot" option. 2. Regarding hiding the "Original Profile," I can't find any information about this option, so is it impossible to hide it? I'm asking about these two points.

My machine runs Windows 7 (will not change) and Firefox version 115.32.1esr (64-bit). Until a few days ago, weather.com worked as expected. However, when I try accessing it now (with a specific location), the screen indicates: Application error: a client-side exception has occurred while loading weather.com (see the browser console for more information).

The following is from the browser console: [Experiment] Fetch all: retry=false [Experiment] Fetch variants for user: Object { library: "experiment-js-client/1.16.2", language: "en-US", platform: "Web", os: "Firefox 131", device_model: "Windows", device_category: "desktop", referring_url: "", browser: "Firefox", landing_url: "https://weather.com/weather/tenday/l/Ann+Arbor+MI?canonicalCityId=3c1740550b2f113b86f9cd665770bcf3e3e1a34bf7ac0189a6e3d215540792e7", first_seen: "1770396676.778", … } Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://api.lab.amplitude.com/sdk/v2/vardata?v=0.

What the bleep is going on and how can this be resolved? Note that the site works just fine when using a Chrome-like browser.
