Firefox Community Forum

I'm running Debian Buster, no outstanding updates, with Firefox 115.12.0esr. I recently got a message on starting Firefox that said an update was needed before 03/15 or I would lose certificate checking and other bad things. Looking at recent questions from Firefox indicated there had been occasions when "fake" update-needed messages appeared. The Firefox About display showed no indication of automatic upgrade download & installation occurring. How can I find out whether this is real or not? Thanks, Bill

On my linux system the Firefox update notification on version 135 appears to often, on the order of about 2 in an hour. How can I reduce this notification to a resonable amount say once every 2 days?

Hello,

I seem to have subscribed to franceinfo and am receiving notifications that are of no interest to me. How can I stop receiving notifications and unsubscribe to franceinfo ? I have not been able to find links on the website to do so myself.

Hello,

I'm new to Firefox after changing from another browser.

I am looking for a setting to turn on notifications from sites such as Instagram to notify me with a pop-up window from the web browser.

Is this not available on Firefox?

If not available, I'd like to suggest this as a new feature.

If it is available, would someone help me find this to turn on when I signed into Instagram? It did not ask me if I wanted to turn on notifications.

Thanks

All of a sudden the allow location permission window is popping up repeatably. I have the option turned off and every time I go to Amazon or Home Depot or any such place the window ops up requesting that location location tracing for the sites. I tried toggling the on/off for the option but it didn't stop it. Help!

I've been a Firefox user for at least 10 years. I recently installed Firefox on a new desktop PC, and the Firefox Privacy Notice tab popped up. "No worries," I thought, and read it and made my cookies choice. I didn't find anything about a separate "submit" or "Close" gadget, so I simply closed the tab. Now, every time I leave the Home page or open a new tab, the Firefox Privacy Notice keeps popping up. Please advise me how to close it for good.

I can't access/change printing instructions in PDFs because of a popup about highlighting PDFs. I tried Settings/Privacy & Security/PDF settings. I'm supposed to scroll down to "PDF Viewer" section but that's not available in the drop down menu.

Every time I open my laptop, I keep getting a banner which tells me firefox has notifications. But where are they? It appears in the upper right hand corner of my 2010 macbookpro and disappears without informing me as to where these notifications are. Anyone know where I can look? thanks

ps) none of the drop-down menu topics best describes this so I'm putting whatever in

On Windows, any notification coming from any Firefox extension, appears to be coming from the Firefox app. It would be cool to add a feature under (Privacy and Security --> Notification settings --> See attached image) that would allow to specify which extensions are allowed to send notifications and which are not.

Whenever I click on a notification news item it comes via The independent newspaper that I find very annoying. Is there a way of changing this? I was happy with Firefox the way it was until Microsoft mail was installed on my PC.

Hi,

The Firefox Notifications pop up on my MAC, but they disappear too quickly and i don't have the time to click on the ones i am interested in.

First, please help me to pop those notifications manually.

The Notifications Grouping on my MAC does not include Firefox Notifications.

Secondly, I already changed the set up for Firefox Notifications to be persistent and disappear only after I click, but this did not work.

Many thanks, Ludovic

It seems certain sites are prone to fire popup tabs, with any click, right clicks included. I close them immediately and the second click acts normal, getting the nav result I was asking for. How to strength the popup blocking function to stop this distracting behavior? Thanks for any pointers. This may prevent me from staying on FF.
