Yahoo Mail will no longer allow me to get to their site without I put them in both Tracking Protection Exception and Cookie Exception. Is there a way to stop them from this? I'm on a Mac Mini (2018) Intel. I have my "Settings" in "Privacy & Security" set to - Custom: Cross-Site Tracking Cookies and Isolate other Cookies. I have had it set this way or similar with Yahoo Mail and all other sites for probably over 15 years.

The one killer feature Safari on a Mac has that keeps me from fully embracing Firefox is its integration with Messages for two factor security codes sent via text. In Safari, you don't have to jump over to Messages to copy and comeback to paste the code into the field. A box drops down under the field you can click on to autofill the code right there on the webpage.

Does Firefox have this ability somewhere or are there plans to add it soon? I seem to have read that Apple allows third party apps to add this integration since Big Sur.

A few of my extensions are not showing up in my toolbar at the left top of the window -- specifically, my Evernote extension. It is turned ON in my "Settings" area, but not showing up in the toolbar.

This is a Mac Studio, 2022.

I also have two other Macbook Pros. The extensions show up on my Firefox browsers there.

Hi. I am in Mac Big Sur and Firefox 108. I tend to keep a lot of windows open and navigate among them using the "Window" pulldown menu at the top between "Tools" and "Help". It used to be that the latest window more or less stayed at the bottom and the others stayed in order so they were easy to find quickly. A recent upgrade made it so the windows are now alphabetized and constantly shuffling. Since they are alphabetized by the name in the page title, this often offers no clue as to what it is--like it might be alphabetized under like cart or home page or main or something general like that. Also, if you have different tabs in a window, that window might jump from the top to the middle if a different tab is last looked at. Bottom line: it is very difficult and non-intuitive to find a page when you have a lot of windows open--but it used to be easy. Is there a way to order the wondows the way you want them or go back to the chronological order of before? Seems like there must be a setting somewhere. Thanks so much for any help.

i can't find the name of the new cookie/tracker form moizilla i enabled last week, immediately going to utube (never logged ln to utube) it's obvious utube is no longer tailoring channels to my history. (but for years i've used firefox with its previous built in cookie/tracking enable. i also always have active Ghostery on full block).

i want to lower blocking for utube only, not remove because previous firefox before the "new" cooking/tracker utube did somehow store what type of channels to suggest. does utube use a cookie or a tracker to store channels to suggest? (note i do NOT login to utube, it's saving/storing my type of channels liked by other means than user account).

USA is nuts into fascism! of course americans don't want corporations recording our personal internet history then selling it to other corporations. to try to stop it citizens have to beg around mozilla, ghostery for complicated settings. even many of the help apps like ghostery r default to send them data, u have to hound around details in their preferences to disable them getting our history. citizens should have to be doing this to protect ourselves from corporations!

(ps. i upload my avatar, i see it on some pages, this page it's back to a B circle. i've uploaded successful 3 times yet it keeps disappearing).

I recently learned about the `ui.textScaleFactor` option and found it very helpful to adjust the text size. I have currently set the option to 115. However, changing `ui.textScaleFactor` distorts texts rendered by pdf.js such that neighboring characters somewhat overlap.

Is it possible to disable `ui.textScaleFactor` on pdf.js?
