My wife's PC has had this problem twice. Somehow the default browser in Firefox gets changed to Rini.drorinat. How do I stop this from happening?

Some software must be lurking around resetting this. And don't tell me it's not a browser issue.

A while ago when using the setting firefox noticed that i was using a vpn and turned the settings off. At least that was what i believed. Turns out, that only works with browser vpn addons that use the firefox settings. But these addons do not use wireguard, but tls to encrypt your data. If i use a vpn, and want to use the dns settings provided by them, i have to turn of the feature the dns over https feature from firefox. I only want to use that feature, if im not "protected" by a vpn solution of my choice.

I just purchase Malwarebytes Standard plan to help strengthen the security of my laptop which runs on Windows 11 .After installing the standard plan, Malwarebytes recommended I install, for free, an add-on called Browser Guard for Firefox. However, Mozilla sent a cautionary statement: 'This add-on is not actively monitored for security by Mozilla. Make sure you trust it before installing.

Is the Malwarebytes Browser Guard for Firefox safe?

Seriously Mozilla.

First with ramming AI everywhere in Firefox, now a browser VPN, why?

I do not want a VPN the web browser that I didn't ask for or other features you think people need without asking.

Corporate and business users would not have a bar of this either.

Enough!

Remove this from Firefox please in the next release.

In the meantime, tell users how to disable this VPN via the Settings and "about:config" so this never gets turned on.

Hi,

I noticed that in the latest release (I tried both MacOS and Windows 11 ARM versions) that the "network.cookie.sameSite.laxByDefault" is no longer enabled, and cookies set by applications without specifying the flag, are not set with Lax and are sent in cross-origin requests. Could you clarify if this is intentional and why the change has been made?

Thanks

When the browser is open - whether with tabs or not - it disables NVIDIA ShadowPlay. The NVIDIA overlay says “a protected app is preventing desktop capture,” and I’d agree with that if it only happened when tabs with DRM content were open, but it happens even in an empty browser.
