Forum zhromadźenstwa Firefox

I use Mozilla's Firefox as my default browser. I recently noticed as I surf the Internet, Bing surreptitiously intercedes for Firefox. Why is this? How does this happen? There is nothing I can do to stop it, or change it. Why? I do not want that. Is that okay with the folks at Mozilla?

Seriously Mozilla.

First with ramming AI everywhere in Firefox, now a browser VPN, why?

I do not want a VPN the web browser that I didn't ask for or other features you think people need without asking.

Corporate and business users would not have a bar of this either.

Enough!

Remove this from Firefox please in the next release.

In the meantime, tell users how to disable this VPN via the Settings and "about:config" so this never gets turned on.

Just got my repaired laptop back. Windows Home 23H2 build 22631.6199. Installed Firefox, synched my account. Firefox or a firefox tab have crashed 19 times in the last 3 days since the fresh install.

Actually crashed while preparing this message. What to do?

IT HAS BECOME VERY FRUSTRATING TO USE MY HOME PAGE WITH THE LITTLE BOX FOR EACH WEB SITE I GO TO REGULARLY. IF I CLICK ON THE ONE FOR MY BANK, MULTIPLE ONES ARE APPEARING WHEN I GET OUT OF THE SITE. CAN I GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS VERSION? I AM ON WINDOWS 10. I SELECTED AN ITEM IN YOUR TOPICS SELECTION, BUT I DID ONLY SO I CAN CONTINUE AND SUBMIT MY QUESTION. NONE OF THE TOPICS SEEM TO FIT MY SITUATION. I AM ALSO RECEIVING ADVERTISING LITTLE BOXES. HOW DO I STOP THAT/ I NEVER HAD THESE ISSUES WITH THE PREVIOUS VERSION. THANK YOU.

I got the message about this new included outgoing VPN but I don't see any such symbol on the right side?? I think this leaves a user confused and poorly informed about what is causing this absence.

Not sure if this is a Firefox or YouTube bug.. it's really annoying and happens quite a few times each day I use my PC.. Is there any solution to this or perhaps reverting the update til this is resolved? I usually wait fo rit to stop lagging or if I'm not patient enough.. I'll just close Firefox entirely and re-open. Thanks.

Google browser keeps popping up in my browserwhen Firefox is my default browser in my setting and downloaded & installed from my Google playstore. I don't like Google and what it does but I feel trapped because I have so much important data on their Gmail and other Google apps. I am a senior with traumatic brain injury and have no tech knowledge or experience to have other options.

• OS Version: Microsoft Windows 10 Professional (x64) Version 22H2 (build 19045.6466) • Firefox 149.0 (64-bit) • Thunderbird 140.8.1esr (64-bit)

Have NO idea "which topic best describes my question" from your drop-down list (above), so simply clicked on one.

Restarted my PC; all of my bookmarks disappeared. NOT acceptable. (Or is this just another "improvement" from Firefox . . . ?)

Where did they go; how do I retrieve them?

Really don't want to wait days until there's a response, as I DO USE MY BOOKMARKS ALL OF THE TIME.

Thank you.

I had an issue today while on the Geocaching.com website where I started getting a lot of virus warnings continually popping up on the webpage. This continued to happen even after I left the website and quit Firefox then reopened Firefox to its homepage. I ultimately had to uninstall Firefox the reinstall it to get out of this problem. I am using Windows 11 (with current updates) and at the time, Firefox was also current in its updates. Running Windows Defender didn't resolve the issue. I finally got the settings for my browser back to where they were before all of this happened except now I have this annoying Customize Homepage button on the bottom right side of the homepage which I can not get rid of. For me, this may be a deal breaker. I am also using DuckDuckGo fo my search engine.

The email address on my Mozilla account no longer exists. I am unable to change any data nor delete the account, since I cannot login to the old email address. Contact email: [edited from community support forum] @icloud.com

A mouseover dialog box recently began to appear over formfields in Mozilla. I don't know 'which browser process 'it's coming from. Possibilities include Firefox for Tahoe, Apple Messages, and the Lastpass extension for Firefox. Maybe even Tahoe itself, who knows.

I don't think it's Lastpass because it covers the Lastpass fill prompt ON EVERY FIELD on the browser page.

Note to developers: Dialog boxes always need to show a source LOL.

(Yep, shared the TFA code! )

I was wondering is it possible to use the built in, free, Firefox VPN to access websites that might be blocked based on location? Such as Imgur.com from the UK, for example?
