I don't care about the 'security' of my Firefox account, so why do I NEED two-factor authentication? I don't want to do that. Then I could switch to Google right away. So why are you FORCING people to switch browsers if they don't want to comply? Because I'd rather do that than enable two-factor authentication for such useless accounts

Firefox is not detecting my location correctly. I am in living in Idaho, NOT living in Utah and never have lived in Utah. For some reason you detect my location in error.

Hello everyone, I’ve been using Firefox for Android and I’m curious about the best ways to ensure my online privacy and security. I’ve heard about different settings and extensions, but I’m not sure which ones are most effective. Can anyone guide me on how to configure Firefox for maximum privacy and security? Also, are there any additional steps I should take to protect my data while browsing? Any recommendations or tips would be appreciated. Thank you!

There are websites that I go on that require verification codes. After entering the code I check the box to remember this device. So then the next time I go on the website I would not have to deal with a verification code. I've used Firefox for years and had no problem with the browser not remembering an approved website but now I'm experiencing this problem.

I'm using Firefox v115.15.0esr because I'm using Windows 7. I'm in the UK. Every now and then I get to a website which asks about cookies permissions and then proceeds to give me a huge list, hundreds of alleged companies which have a "legitimate interest" in me having their cookie, which I have to individually search through and deselect. Is there a way around this please? Does firefox ignore/prevent the cookies under the "Enhanced Tracking Protection" policy? or by accepting them do I still get them? I have ticked "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" so am I correct to assume that all cookies that make it to my PC get erased anyway when I close the browser?

Often I can't access content indicated by a link in an article or email. I tried turning off the Firefox firewall, but it made no difference. Now I am unable to turn the firewall back on.

I may have inadvertently changed some Firefox security setting, but don't know which one. Or, as likely, due to a recent Firefox update. I try to keep up-to-date.

Here is the link and error log from Firefox (if I copy just the link to Safari, it works fine): The resource at “https://dmt.fidelity.com/privacy/v1/b/b.rnc?n=15&c=65&i=55ti80&p=prod&s=2348&d=8ER7InZlcnNpb24iOiIxLjAuMCIsImdhdGV3YXkiOiIyLjMuNjgyIiwiY2xpZW50SWQiOjY1LCJwdWJsaXNoUGF0aCI6InByb2QiLCJpbnN0YW5jZSUAYCI1NXRpOE0A8ApwYWNrZXQiOjcsIm1vZGUiOiJlbmZvcmNlVQDwDG9va2llcyI6eyJTdHJpY3RseSBOZWNlc3Nhcn8AsDEiLCJQZXJmb3JtWQAAowDTIiwiRnVuY3Rpb25hbBEA8kZUYXJnZXRpbmcgYW5kIEFkdmVydGlzaW5nIjoiMCJ9LCJlbnZpcm9ubWVudCI6IkFsbG93ZWQgRG9tYWluIiwicmVxdWVzdHMiOlt7ImRlc3RpbmF0EwHwAmh0dHBzOi8vcGR4MS5xdWFspwCUcy5jb20vV1JREADwJlNpdGVJbnRlcmNlcHQvR3JhcGhpYy5waHA_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_gw8RBlsB8gMiZW6uBQMlBjc3NDSAAg8RBkIP-AMKDwIBXC4zOYIDCQIBDxEGQ8A0NzE4OTQ2NjB9XX0” was blocked by OpaqueResponseBlocking.

Lately receiving annoying pop-ups from 123greetings that have nothing to do with greeting cards. Appear every time i turn on computer and on every site i engage. Says they are "via Firefox".Thats why im turning to you for help.I am not technically oriented, so stating the solution as simple as possible would be appreciated. (I had a 123greetings account, which I deleted in hopes of getting rid of them. No luck.) Thanks for your help.

PS-Recent scan from Malwarebytes suggested 2 pups??? but they were quarantined. Problem persists.

I am unable to see anything on X / twitter. Windows 11. This is a continual problem with my laptop and my desktop (Windows 10). I have Firefox set on Standard tracking, and have added x.com and twitter.com as exceptions. Please fix this so that I can access my x.com account.

Hello, I use NextDNS for DNS over HTTPS in Firefox and I have set it up accordingly. Every so often Firefox will randomly revert back to using Quad9 instead of NextDNS without any intervention from me and I then have to go back in and set up NextDNS again which is quite frustrating, does anyone know why this might be happening?

Dear Support Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am writing to bring to your attention an unusual issue I have been experiencing with the Firefox browser. Each time I close Firefox, I am required to log in again to the "Bale" messenger upon reopening the browser, as my login credentials are not retained for future sessions.

I would like to highlight the following points for your consideration:

1. This issue is specific to the Bale messenger and does not occur on other websites. 2. The problem persists across all of my devices, including my work computer, home PC, and laptop. 3. The issue does not arise when I am not logged into my Firefox account. In fact, Bale messenger works perfectly on my friends' Firefox browsers, where there is no need for repeated logins after closing the browser.

4. I have already reviewed the "Cookies and Site Data" settings (see the attached image).

I would greatly appreciate your guidance on how to resolve this issue at your earliest convenience.

Thank you for your time and support.

Best regards, Mostafa

Hello support.

We have a job that runs every hour pinging a service. From 28th of August each hour we recieve several error emails.

Every querry that is re run completes normally. We can not figure out what the issue is.

We have checked everything on our side.

I have captured tcpdump on the server and found this in wireshark.

I'm totally fed up with this! I got this particular one trying to go to Amazon via a link from search but it's happening constantly with links from search and from other sites that I'm on. I am on Amazon a lot. I don't know what this behavior is, where it's coming from, why it's happening, or how to stop it. I'm at the point of just uninstalling Firefox because of it. I've tried the common fixes such as clearing cache and cookies as well as all saved data and it still persists. Firefox has been my default browser for a very long time but if this can't be stopped permanently, I'm done with it!

I have one login saved to Firefox. Firefox, for some unfathomable reason, will sometimes delete that login from its records entirely and I'll have to set up a new entry. This has happened a total of six times over the last three months/

I have been using Firefox to access the following website for years: "artstorefronts.com", which requires appropriate login credentials, but suddenly Firefox will not open the website. Instead, I get the following message after submitting with proper credentials: "reCAPTCHA verification failed. Try again." There is not a reCAPTCHA "test" associated with this login page, so there is no reason to get this message on my end. However, please note that I AM able to access the subject website using Chrome, Edge and Firefox IOS. I don't access the subject website frequently so I just noticed this problem about a week or so ago, so I suspect the problem began after the latest Firefox update (130.0, 64 bit) a short time ago. Firefox is my default browser and have been using it for years, so would hope to get some resolution to this problem. Thanks, Ralph Liliedahl, liliedahl@gmail.com.

Hi,

I am was looking for jobs and ran across a website called Lensa.com. Well i setup an account and I wish i didn't.

I don't think the site is legit. I have deleted my account, but I keep getting messages from them, and they are coming directly through firefox. I have added a picture below.

I don't see any browser extensions that would be doing this. How are they able to do this?

There is nothing in my ubuntu startup.

I am very concerned about this.

I am running ubuntu 24.04 with all updates.
