If I were to employ a VPN, and there for change computers IP address, would it mean I lose my log in's to various web sites that I was logged into before I employed the VPN? Being my computer is now a stranger so to speak to web sites that I visited before hand. Or, do I have it all wrong? Can someone help and explain? Thank you.

Auto fill not working; fills then erases

For some reason, when I try to autofill with stored credit card information, Firefox (99.0.1) fills the form with credit card number and expiration date when I mouse over a credit card choice, and then when I actually make the choice, the entry gets erased.

I have checked, per an earlier (now archived) question, and there is no "autocomplete off" (or any mention of "autocomplete") in the web page in question.

I have credit card autofill enabled, because I do a lot of business online and it is very convenient. Maddeningly, it has started doing something I can't find a way to fix. I put the mouse over the box asking for a credit card number, the saved numbers pop up, I select one, and then the pop-up box disappears without filling in the credit card number. There has got to be a fix for this, but I cannot find it. Pls. advise...

Hello,

I noticed that a setting on the about:config page was removed: the "security.csp.enable" setting. I was using this setting to disable CSP to be able to load local JS scripts on some non-locally hosted sites, for debugging and development, work related purposes.

Was this setting really removed? Is there a way to disable CSP on Firefox on the latest version?

Thanks! Gabriel.

You state that Firefox has no back door which allows you or anyone else to track browser user history or browsing information. But is that really true?

First of all, when a user searches using your browser, the search is conducted through Google. Unless one clicks on the button offered by Google to reject normal choices, and specifically opts out of user data sharing with their company, every trace of the user's search will be mined by Google. You should install an override which automatically precludes this step when searching on your browser, and ensure that there is no such sharing or mining.

Second even your company has admitted that you HAVE opened a back door for the NSA and other government agencies to track user information online. That means your browser is no different than any other one; for anyone who knows how to access and redirect this data can continue to do so, just as they would with any other browser.

While I applaud your effort to minimize data sharing on your browser, your publicity appears to be somewhat of a myth, for it bears little relation to reality .

Firefox keeps logging me out of all of my accounts whenever my computer restarts. I saw other people have this problem and post the solution, which was to use custom settings for history and only clear cache and cookies. I tried that and the problem has still persisted for weeks. Is there any other fix for this problem?

More and more sites can no longer be accessed by Firefox. I work for Lowe's and it started with store site. Then other sites no longer could be reached. Now I cannot login in to my employee account. Always some message regarding incorrect protocol or certificate or some other security issue. None of these sites are bogus. I have tried all the suggestions given in support but it just keeps getting worse. I have used Firefox for years but will be forced to abandon it if I cannot find a solution soon. If you can help, please do.

I am using build 100.0 Mac OSX Mojave 10.14.6. When I go to www.papajohns.com and try to login it goes nowhere. I tried looking up the problem, which was to go to Settings and allow cookies for that site and now I'm able to login. The additional problem I'm having is in the purchase page, I have put in all my information including credit card information. When I click place order, instead of completing the transaction, it takes me back to the same page I entered my payment information and never completes the transaction. I have tried it on my iPhone through Safari and I was able to login and complete the transaction. I would prefer to do this on my desktop computer running Firefox rather than my iPhone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, John
