Firefox Tekoha Aty

First of all, there's this new thing called AI. Maybe you've heard about it when you meet a competitor at a party, etc. If you ever choose to use it (a pretty big "if"), you might install it in your forums. Nah, that ain't likely. But here's the question: How can I get FF to quit closing pages (photos, music, Word docs) when I want to save them? One of the problems is your FAQs are programmed to read CRASH, when they "see" CLOSING PAGES. I know, FAQs are there to make Mozilla more $$$$. They have nothing to do with customer service.

I use Internet Bill Pay through my bank, and it has always worked correctly with Firefox. I have enhanced tracking protection turned off for the site secureinternetbank.com and I have cookies authorized in my exceptions list. Today I got this message:

Why can't I access Bill Pay?

You might have cookies blocked or cross-site tracking prevented. Depending on what browser you're using, check your settings for these terms:

   Block third party cookies
   Cookie tracking
   Cross-site tracking

Make sure cookies are not blocked and cross-site tracking is enabled. Follow any additional instructions in your browser once you have adjusted these settings."

Bank says it hasn't changed anything, and no tweaks I tried on privacy settings fixed it. I believe it's an issue with the new version. Can you tell me how to fix it or let me know when Firefox will fix it? The site works fine in Microsoft Edge, but I'd like to avoid using Edge.

Thanks.

I recently updated FF to 128.3.0 ESR and have found that FF no longer appends the suffix to the url I tupe in the url bar. For instance, to go to yahoo.com all I had to do was type yahoo in the url bar and hit enter and FF would automatically add the .com and navigate to the site. This function has ceased to work since the latest update. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) no longer supports Firefox. Please contact them and try to get them to support it. Otherwise I will have to use a Chrome, which I don't want to.

Kaspersky has been changed to UltraAV so I need to add or change this extension in my settings. Also will Kaspersky need to be deleted? thx . THe reason for this is because Firefox will not restart after an updated has been downloaded.

Upon launching Firefox I noticed a notification from Macafee antivirus, I don't really care how to spell their "company" name. But when clicking on the popup it brought me to a firefox addon for macafee. I assume that this is a virus created by the aforementioned company and not a partnership between the two of you. Just wanted to create awareness of this virus as its targeting your browser.

Every time now I get asked additional info just to use FB, as in scoping what's happening. It seems that the info FB has for me to cont6act me is no longer correct, e.g. I want to check the mobile phone number that is on my record. Where can I check that (what is the link) ?

Last February, I installed an update that wasn't compatible with my macOS 10.13.6 High Sierra. As a result, my bookmarks disappeared. For a long time, I've been getting popups on a daily basis, and sometimes twice daily, telling me to update again. Based on my last experience, I not about to install any more updates. I want these messages to stop.

I repeatedly cannot access a couple of websites, receiving messages such as, "Server Not Found" and "We can’t connect to the server at companyname.org." Since this happens regularly with a couple of popular websites (e.g., Consumer Reports), I don't believe the problem is with the sites themselves. So, is there a setting on Firefox that will enable me to unblock access to specific sites?

Thanks!

Hello Mozilla Community,

I hope I am right with you guys to ask this question though it is a rather technical question. Please let me clarify that I am not a programmer myself or a network engineer but rather a hobbyist who is especially interested in privacy.

As I was reading about HTTP/3 and QUIC, I came across an academic paper called ""A QUIC Look at Web Tracking".

According to this paper QUIC gives web servers and third parties a good way to track users via the "source-address token" and the "server config" which are both stored on the client('s browser/machine). Now I know that this paper is from 2019 and concerns an older version of QUIC. However, in RFC 9000 "source address tokens" aka "address validation tokens" still exist and are especially used to establish future connections with 0-RTT instead of 1-RTT (see section 8.1 of RFC 9000). Though "server config" is not mentioned in RFC 9000, "transport parameters" is mentioned in section 7.4 and 18 of RFC 9000, which are also used for 0-RTT and are also stored on the client.

Neither RFC 9000 nor RFC 9114, which concerns HTTP3, address these privacy risks in more detail. Both seem to take only MITM attackers into account (see 9.5 in RFC 9000 and 10.11 in RC 9114) [as is done in a newer paper from 2022 Evaluating QUIC for Privacy Improvements Over Its Predecessors which however at least addresses the possibility of third party tracking under 5.1 3)].

I would also like to point towards RFC 9250 of May 2022, which concerns DNS over QUIC ("DoQ"). In Section 7 of RFC 9250 many privacy concerns regarding "0-RTT", "Session Resumption (Token)", "Address Validation Token" and "Long Duration Sessions due to QUIC's connection migration feature" are elaborated in more detail.

To sum up my understanding: - Using HTTP/3 or QUIC's "connection ID" for tracking should not be that viable, even if its function is to migrate connections in case of Layer-3/4 (IP address or Port) changes, because a connections life time is at least in firefox limited to 30 seconds (see Github neqo) so that a user should not be trackable for a longer period via the "connection ID". - However, longer tracking may be possible via "Session Resumption Tokens" and "Address Validation Tokens" (see Section 7.2 and 7.3 of RFC 9250; though I myself don't know the difference between these two) as well as via "transport parameters" (see "A QUIC Look at Web Tracking").

As mentioned in "A QUIC Look at Web Tracking", though a restart of the Browser seems to clear the cached state of prior QUIC connections (to my understanding the stored "tokens" and "transport parameters"), tracking via the above mentioned features of QUIC seems not unreasonable as many users today will not restart their browser, especially on mobile devices but also on desktops (3.7 and 5.1.2 of the paper).

As I was not able to find further information on this topic, I would be very happy to get some assurance that firefox is effectively preventing or at least impeding the tracking possibilities mentioned in RFC 9250 and the paper "A QUIC Look at Web Tracking".

Thank you very much for any reply or pointing me into the right direction (other sources on this topic or a more appropriate page to ask this question).

I have tested this with Chrome, Firefox (latest update 131.0.2). Firefox stopped showing select-able buttons a few weeks ago, while Chrome and the iPhone app on IOS 18.0.1 on my Phone display the items correctly.

CORRECT DISPLAY - See attached "Correct Display" JPG. INCORRECT DISPLAY - See attached "Incorrect Display" JPG

When I edit the original iCoud NOTE, and remove the selection buttons, then re-add them, I can see that Firefox FIRST picks up the correct radio buttons then VERY quickly changes them to black boxes which can neither be selected nor un-selected.  :-(

For some reason Firefox keeps telling me it won't install on Windows 8.x or lower. I have Windows 10 Home 64bit. What is the problem? What can I do to fix this. I have the latest updates for windows.

I would like to be able to see all my tabs at once without scrolling. I'm coming from Chrome, and my habits and preferences is built on the fact that this is standard behavior. I run many tabs at once, up to 100 tabs isn't uncommon, and having to scroll is slower than just being able to click the tab I want.

Anyone have any ideas?

PS: I have tried decreasing tabMinWidth, but upper limit of max tabs is still only 30
