I just received this on my iMac: “You have an unsent crash report related to crashes being investigated, etc.” Following this, I ended up with page after page of information and options. This is dense and confusing and many options seem like they're asking me to provide information or choose certain things that may create serious and damaging situations. I don't like it and I don't even know if it's legitimate. You have no phone support. With all this confusion I am considering moving on to another browser. My email address in case you don't have it, is [edited email from community support forum].

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!

Before thinking about "Free" VPN I need to know whether it's really free or whether I'll hit a limit and be squeezed for subscription money. How can I tell how many GB per month I regularly use?

I have been trying to get Firefox to clean up everything when I close it down,

It is so hard as if purposely a 1000 development team have worked on making it impossible.

When I close it down, it must be completely sanitised, no previous site visits, login names, passwords, suggestions - nothing.

And I should be able to achieve that with one button press, not have to go through a thousand individual settings.

I have now spent an hour checking and unchecking buttons, it is crazy. For example I go to the passwords, I have to delete each and every one individually. Maybe there is another screen somewhere, but when I want to interact with "Passwords" I naturally go to "Passwords".

And still, when I go to gmail, it autofills the gmail account! Where did that come from? I have spent an hour trying to make sure it deletes everything when it closes down.

And it should leave no trace on the PC. no temp files, nothing.
