Firefox Community Forum

My browser (on a second device) is sending me messages that a Trojan has been discovered - will not stop so I uninstalled it. If I download a new browser will the same messages continue? Has this breached the whole of my Mozilla Firefox account?

I am not sure how the architecture works and to clear the other device.

My gmail [edited from public] @gmail.com is comprimised. Ive never downloaded this 3 party app. If you want the banking fraud details I can send but please don't let this app gain access. Tomorrow I will again have to lock my accounts. The sad thing the money is being stolen from the parent of our child. Extremely sad situation just how low this person has fallen. They believe they have had 14 g stolen in fraud delusion u need 14 g in the first place.

Why can't Firefox permanently save settings queried in Privacy Policy nags? Add-ons and frequently-visited websites constantly nag the same tired questions day-in and day-out and I am SICK of it. Chrome doesn't do this. Why can't Mozilla find a solution? What's my motivation to keep donating to Mozilla or using Firefox if this continues to be ignored? This is a serious usability issue!

I am currently a victim of grave identity theft over several platforms which prevent me from smooth and segure sign ins, confirmations, password changes , etc. Safari is gravely affected, as a mother browsers. My last resort will be to stick to Firefox/ Mozilla gladly. Any advice to further my viver security? Thankfully…Sergio

For example, on the Google login web page there is a field to enter your email and phone (username). When I click it, I can see all my usernames, which are stored in the password database. Previously, I could only see the ones I had used previously on that page. Is there any way to adjust this old behavior? Thank you.

I've been looking at firewall logs for my client and router software firewalls. My 3rd party firewall flags repeated outgoing TCP packets to IP 34.149.100.209 as coming from Firefox and 'Restricted', although restricted is the firewall apps syntax. When I look at the router firewall on WAN it was seeing the same IP outgoing. These packets only originate when Firefox (latest version) opens. Perhaps there's nothing to worry about or it's there to poll for those who want to select a Google search engine? Anyway, I've added a rule in the router to block the IP, although I think Google use other IPs.

There is plenty of web discussion to REMOVE restricted from Firefox but I want to make sure 'Restricted' in my case means BLOCKED, is that possible or do I misunderstand what restricted means? Thanks

Why recently after one of the most recent firefox updates, does firefox no longer delete ALL temporary cached files when I manually do so?? For years I could delete all the files, now it says there are (everytime now) exactly 2.9mb whatever, and will only go down to no lower than 2.6. What is going on? Thanks for your help.

Dans la soirée du 15 au 16 mai 2024. J'ai consulté ma page "Facebook" et les pages de mes amis. Une page "Fake" été proposée. J'ai voulu alerter la vraie personne suite recherche par "Google". J'ai envoyé un message d'alerte en privé à la vraie propriétaire de la page. Le lendemain, au démarrage de mon pc portable, c'est le "Total Crash". Ransomware? Malware? Je travail maintenant avec un HBCD 1.5.2 PE. Quelqu'un peut-il me proposer une solution? Merci et cordialement votre.

Hello!

My 15 year old mac el capitan- 10.11.6 is in very good condition. Please do anything to make final update or let me pay privately to update this browser for chase bank and proton.me

Thanks for any response

I continually received messages from Mozilla stating that my Mozilla account and data would be deleted.

Hi there,

I recently received notice of being a part of the one billionth data breach and I am officially sick of it. I love and use firefox and beta, but I know my privacy is not that protected. I was looking through reviews and found Waterfox which is supposed to be built on the firefox platform, but has better privacy protections. I downloaded it and all seemed right. I imported from Firefox. Then I tried to download it to my iphone and the only thing that came up was "Water Fox". I downloaded it and couldn't even get through opening it without crazy ads and it looking like some game app. It wanted my saved data from firefox to import. But, no way. Either this was pretending to be WaterFox and a scam, or WaterFox IS a scam. So, I'm hoping maybe someone here would know and would also know if I just made a huge mistake by installing this. If it were just an app pretending to be WaterFox, why wasn't there an actual waterfox app? That was the only one even close. And, the reviews said that WaterFox was students working with Firefox or something like that, but couldn't find anything about them in Firefox forums. Any info would be greatly appreciated. And, if I did just make a huge mistake, is there a way to fix it? I didn't sign in with the squirrely iphone app, but I did with the desktop. Eeeep.

Here's my question.

I am well versed with, and frequently use the Manage Data tool in Cookies and Site Data to remove bothersome cookies, particularly from sites like news sites that will throw you a few "bones" of articles without mandating a subscription before requiring one to continue to use view the site.

I took a hard look at the Manage Exceptions option next to the check box that will Delete Cookies and Site Data when Firefox is closed, but requires that I'd have to input a hundred sites that I want to retain the cookies for manually, in order to avoid potentially loosing any credentials or site data.

Which brings me to my question, kind of the reverse of the steps you use to both delete cookies and Manage Exceptions. Rather than going one by one with Manual entry of each site that you want to retain site data and cookies for, why not generate/provide a list, populated the way the Manage Data function works. And then, let the user just select the exceptions to auto cookie deletion when you close Firefox?
