I asked a few "security/privacy" addon creators this question: "
Hail all:
First off, a note to explain this post: I have severe Asperger's and ADHD. I work for a Corporation that handles delicate data. Now, my Asperger's requires clarity, but this ad-on is all BUT clear. Which is a serious annoyance, since, more and more, life is becoming unclear, due to continuous contradictions everywhere. More so ... it, at first glance, appears to be not quite right: The ad-on promises security and privacy, BUUUUUT ... does seemingly the absolute opposite? Let me explain:
So, I got the Multi-Account Container ad-on. Upon installing it, it requested:
Access your data for all web sites Access browsing history Monitor extension usage and manage themes Access browser tabs
Why on earth are these needed? Now, you speak of privacy, security, all very nice, but then you throw these "necessities" in the ad-on, which totally counter the promised privacy, security and whatnot.
I have certain data that I access through the Private Window in Firefox, related to my work. Several tabs are Corporate Account information, log ins, ... , which I darn sure refuse to give out. Not to mention, Corporate project data.
Your "necessities" breach privacy, security, and even invoke the possibility of personal data theft, bank data theft, and even, indeed so, Corporate espionage!
1) Access data for all websites: Why not just ask the darn info directly? I will open the Corporation for you, give you all access keys. Way faster. 2) Access browsing history: If you need money, just ask ... I do not like my data shoved out for money so they can "offer targetted advertising". I HATE advertising, each ad I encounter brings my IQ down by 10 %, because my poor dumb brain can't understand the stream of lies in those. Also: you have no rights to dive into my history data, it is "private" for a reason, protected by LAW. This then breaches these Privacy Laws. 3) Monitor extension usage and manage themes: Oh? Am I per chance a COMPLETE idiot? That I can't read, or think? I am quite sure, I am just clever enough to handle this myself, I reckon. Could be wrong, but then there's google and the likes to help me out, in case I do not find the right colour and icon for my tab. 4) Access Browser Tabs: Here's a smarter idea, I think ... well, for as far as I CAN think, seeing the above uncalled for "assistance" provided: Come to my place and have my computer. Direct access thus no need to do all that network doing thingy needed for remote Browser Access.
Sorry for appearing angry, but these kinds of "necessities to ensure the ad-on to work". This ad-on can just as well work without these "kindly offered assist tools". So why are they in here, while you provide your ad-on as a means to secure and privatise my data?
I would appreciate some information here. Thank you."
I received no reply yet, though I asked 11 creators nigh 2 weeks ago. Seems ... fishy ... no? I mean, can someone give an explanation on this?
Thank you. Ben

I am considering abandoning Google browser because of the Canadian News issue they are opposing. Where does Firefox stand on this? Is there something I should be wary of in making the switch from Google to Firefox?
In the past I've dismissed a few websites from showing up in my new tab's most visited section, but now I'd like to restore them. How can I do this?

I have two profiles on one computer and I want to use these profiles in different languages for web pages (one in English and one in my native language). If I sign-in the two profiles using one common Firefox account, this seems to be impossible: a change of the language setting in one profile immediately reflects into the other profile. Is there a way to disable the sync of language? I want histories and bookmarks to be synced across the profiles and thus I want to use the same account. Thank you.

I have already cleared cookies and caches, minimized my Firefox privacy and Avast anti-virus app with an exception for Wyndham Hotels and I still get the same error message:
Access Denied You don't have permission to access "http://www.wyndhamhotels.com/" on this server.
Reference #18.a52c817.1688939580.337c4864
I also tried accessing it on Edge browser with the same message. I called Wyndham and they said their website is not down and working on all browsers. Any help is greatly appreciated!

How do I have all my bookmarks and folders sorted by name automatically and permanently? When I open Bookmarks I want to see the folders sorted and the bookmarks inside each folder sorted, automatically so I never have to manually. In other words, behave like Windows File Explorer.
I'm almost certain I had it working that way on a previous installation of FireFox, but I can't get this new installation of Firefox to do the same.
Memory usage jumps significantly on new tabs. And no, it didn't happen on the previous version.
Sometimes this memory is later released but not always.

Any extensions I install suddenly don't show up in my toolbar or the customization menu anymore, so I also can't drag them there manually.
Deleting the extensions and re-installing them didn't work, neither did deleting the extensions folder itself.
Does anyone know how I can fix this? I've attached a screenshot of the customization menu and extensions menu below.
Thanks :)

When using Noto Sans Egyptian Hieroglyphics font and writing-mode: vertical-lr; the characters appear shifted up by ~10%, thus appearing partially outside their parent element. All hieroglyphics do this (here using (U+13000)), but only with Noto font.
Tested on versions 114.0.2 and 79.0esr, on different machines, new installs, old installs, even the mobile version. Chromium-based browsers don't have the issue. Images show character inside a div (with borders), the same character highlighted, and Chrome screenshot for comparison. TO REPRODUCE just import and set Noto Sans Egyptian Hieroglyphics and writing-mode: vertical-lr/vertical-rl/tb/tb-rl. A bordered div around the characters might be useful.

For about a week or so, I am unable to log in to xfinity website, and only the xfinity website using Firefox. I can log in fine using Microsoft Edge. I have tried clearing the cache and turning off Microsoft Defender firewall. I don't use any third party security software - just Microsoft Defender. I also don't use a VPN. I didn't add any new software in the last month, only usual updates from Microsoft and Firefox.
What can I do to fix this?

My firefox installation always run in English with all of its interface elements being in English. One of the recent updates introduced a weird behavior - some of the UI became Russian. I seem to have fixed/bypassed the issue last time it happened https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1415337 but nothing works this time.
Most of my firefox is in English, but some elements such as tab titles in devtools, browser popups "do you want to leave this page", tooltips in this very text form where I'm typing right now - are in Russian for no apparent reason.
I have another profile on this firefox installation and it's completely in English as intended. I tried to check for what changed in about:config, looking for "language" or "locale" string, and there's nothing that stands out. I've tried clearing startup cache, switching language back and forth, restarting firefox.
Any suggestions?

I have gone through basically all of the troubleshooting and fixes possible to get firefox to start. I uninstalled firefox completely including the profile folders from both the local and roaming locations, I've tried starting in safe mode/troubleshooting mode. All it does when I try opening is flash the window for half a second. In task manager it pops up for half a second, I can't even check the properties, cancel the process tree, etc. Even worse: there is no crash reports/files.

I view a page, for example, news.yahoo.com. I usually scroll down a way, possibly to the bottom. I step away, and when I come back I want to refresh the page. Up until about two weeks ago, when I press F5 to refresh the page, it would automatically scroll back to the top of the page. Now it seems to go to (maybe) a percentage of the page based on where it was last scrolled. I then have to manually scroll back to the top to see the latest headlines. Was Firefox behavior changed? Is there a setting to control page refresh behavior?

Hello I want to disable/hide or at leas make smaller the GIANT "detail" bar that shows up on the history manager and difficults reading trough the history. There seems to be no options available in the toolbar and can't find any on about:config either. Perhaps there's a key I can add in about:config to change this?
Thank you

I'm developing a PHP Symfony based website powered by nginx-full 1.18.0-6ubuntu14.4, one of the functions is to allow people to download a PDF invoice.
When it fails Firefox shows an alert "Downloading (Failed) The browser application closed unexpectedly."
On my linux desktop; when I use Chromium 114.0.5735.198 this functions works 100% of the time. when I use Firefox 114.0.2 (64-bit) the PDF download only works ONCE after that the download never completes and I'm left with a partial/corrupted 75.7KiB file named filename.Br-neZWO.pdf.part etc.
I have discovered that if I clear the firefox cache I can perform one successful download again. or I can restart Nginx and again Firefox will perform one successful download again.
I've tried altering many Nginx settings, cache, gzip, sendfile etc with no effect. It might be Nginx related but it does not effect Chrome at all which is why I've started this ticket.
Any help in debugging this would be greatly appreciated.
