Firefox Community Forum

I have been a dedicated user and promoter of Fire Fox and Mozilla; but recently getting very frustrated, when following all directions, cannot STOP Firefox from blocking specific or ALL websites; should be given choices, should be clearly explained and yes, your systems have said click on Shield, but that DOES nothing!

Would appreciate a fix in details by people running the system, and know that suggestion will be simple fix and clearly understood. Thanks.

I would like to stream a TV show series on a website. The message on the website is to disable ad blocker and/or add their site to a list which allows ads. I don't know of such a list. Disabling Firefox content blocker hasn't made a difference to being blocked from the site's content.

wenn ich in der Suche eine Webadresse eingebe, kommen Vorschläge. Klicke ich dann eine Webadresse an,dreht der Kreis von Adresse neu laden. in der Chronik sind zig Einträge: https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=L&ai=DC...=1&rdrflb=1&rdrflb=1&rdrflb= dies geht so weiter,bis ich abbreche. wer kann helfen?

Everytime I restart and open firefox and then try to access facebook, sometimes google, n=some news websites and probably other apps, I get a captcha, but it repeats no matter how many times I get it right.

I was advised to do this, but it's still happening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fX0_wiVKhw

But even that's stopped working.

I cannot access facebook and I need it for work (small org, no IT section to ask), and can't access some new sites.

I've gone to basic security settings, but that doesn't help.

What to do?

Firefox won't let me access my bookmark accounts due to Enhanced Tracking . Says site is not secure and at risk . How do I get back to a previous version of Firefox or turn of the enhanced tracking ?

I have been reading about turning off enhanced tracking protection permanently; HOWEVER, the solution does not work. Going to privacy and security, clicking custom and turning everything off still does not shut the thing off fully. The shield in the browser is still active and I constantly have to still turn it off I even had to turn it off to get on this site. That is pretty sad when the makers of the browser block their own site using enhanced tracking protection. Is this another case ( i've seen thousands) where some sortware nerd is trying to show how clever he /she is at coding and in fact messes everything up? WHY DO YOU SIMPLY REMOVE THE TRACKING PROTECTION ENTIRELY... IT'S SO ANNOYING.

btw: none of the enhancements like Bold or Italic work on this site either.. great job..../s

Just checking Facebook "download your information" and got this:

```

     {
       "timestamp": 1781017200,
       "label_values": [
         {
           "label": "Date",
           "value": "2026-06-09"
         },
         {
           "label": "Business or organization",
           "value": "Firefox",
           "description": "The business or organization that added you to a Custom Audience"
         }
       ]
     },

```

Is this actual Firefox passing my info to Meta, or some Meta scammer pretending to be Firefox?

On that date, I had Global Privacy Control turned on in Firefox.

Morning.....I subscribe to PennLive.com (part of the Patriot News group in PA) and have a paid subscription. For several years, there were no ads with a paid subscription. I also have set up on Firefox a custom anti-tracker which blocks cookies, ads and the like. it works on most sites. However, on Penn Live I am getting all sorts of ads jumping around many of which are just plain gross. Ads for belly and arm fat (with pictures), drinks for brain health etc. How do I fix this? What other protections do I need to add on Firefox? This needs to stop and contacting Penn Live has not made a difference. Thanks.

Enhanced Tracking Protection is stopping me from accessing many websites which, on other browsers including Firefox for Android, have nothing wrong with them - UK Met Office, forums, webcomics, Patreon... In many places, it's stopping me from connecting to the website altogether, or even logging into desktop app services when I have to use a browser link to log in; the login process simply doesn't resolve. I've tried disabling and removing extensions, changing settings, refreshing the browser and clearing the startup cache, but nothing seems to help. I cannot work out what's wrong, and I cannot disable Enhanced Tracking Protection. I'm having to send this message via TOR browser, because on Firefox, the Mozilla Support site is reduced to just text and links, with no frames or images, and barely navigable. This also means I can't pull Troubleshooting data direct from my Firefox browser for this form, because the form page's display is also broken on Firefox; I may be able to provide troubleshooting data on request, but I will require step-by-step guidance.

I don't know what to do, and I need help.

I posted my problem last week on the forum and was told to do a Control+Shift+K, which I did. It indicated that Fingerprinting was blocking the sonograms. I am nervous about unblocking this one feature of eBird and wonder if someone could investigate and walk me through fixing it without messing things up overall. Nobody answered my post. I'm including an image of the results of my discovery. Thank you.

How can I (we) disable enhanced tracking so it's not loaded at all in the browser, i.e., we manually turn it on and off when needed? After this last update, some websites I visit are automatically crashing, the screen freezes, I cannot click on their navigation or products, it's become a horrible nightmare and it's not a good use of my time. I want to disable it.
