Hi, when in tracking protection settings, the difference between major and minor page corrections checkbox choices isn't explained. A referral url info button would help alleviate. Wish I could help the project, but I'm 72 & have been fighting m$ retribution as an involuntary uefi tester for an alleged dmca violation 20 years ago. Yes, they do maintain blacklists for their own internal justice system, which I discovered using self-taught low level Linux forensics to find the bootkit methods they locked into my bios. No one wants to touch that live wire and it's now SOP industry standard.

Firefox says that it blocked known fingerprint trackers from two sites that I really do not believe had them.

If I go back to the sites later and check, it says they have no trackers. I don't really understand how this works but if they have trackers wouldn't Firefox have to keep blocking them?

Good day everybody, I am new to Firefox. I have MacBookAir 11. I added the Ecosia extension since it's my main search engine. I noticed there aren't ads popping up for Ecosia. That is how Ecosia makes money for it's sustainability projects, so, as nice as it is to not see ads, I would like them to show up for my Ecosia searches. I understand you can make an Enhanced Tracking Protection exception (and I did), but where can I find a place to make exceptions for whatever AdBlock software came already integrated to Firefox? I am liking Firefox so far. Thank you everybody. Miran.

How can I fix this

Fingerprinting Protection is altering screen.availWidth and screen.availHeight. These values may not match your actual screen dimensions. This protection helps prevent websites building a fingerprint that can be used to track users.

I was getting a frame displaying that embedded content was blocked from x, instagram, and others. I clicked the allow routine and got the embed. Now it's all over the place, scroll, scroll, scroll, blah, blah. How do I reenable the blocking?

I am getting a strange message on adult pages I open on Firefox. It says; "opt out signal honored". I checked with the site owner and they told me it is a function of my browser. What is it?

Enhanced Tracking Protection is preventing access to x.com even after it is allegedly "turned off" for this site. I have been using personal computers since the 1970s after the IBM PC was introduced, but now I am about ready to ditch Firefox AND Windows 11 to install a decent version of Linux. Grok on my iPhone 8 offered several suggestions to resolve this issue, but none of them have worked so far... including trying to us Microsoft Edge instead of Firefox.

A site I use daily for news suddenly is not activating, but told me there is an ad blocker happening via an extension. I went on privacy and security and extensions and I have not activated any extensions to block ads. This site activation was working just fine before Firefox notified me of "changes" that would not effect my settings. It obviously did. Would Zoom size be effecting the opening of this site. It's just at 100%. I have been trying Gemini to figure out the problem but so far nothing is working.

Some setting is causing an ad blocker alert from a site I use daily. I do not have any ad blockers. This is a new problem since Firefox has changed some settings.

Settings/Privacy and Security/Enhanced tracking selections/Advanced settings/Manage exceptions is not functioning properly. Every site that I have saved as an exception initially fails to do two things when the site is loaded. First, the site blocks content as if it is not an exception, and then it refuses to completely load the page. This requires me me to X-force the page to finish loading, and then I have to refresh the page by loading it a second time before the exception operates properly. This behavior is precisely the same on every exception website I have entered. Definitely some bugs at work here.

Cant access "X" website .... get message that says Firefox's Enhanced Tracking Protection (strict mode) is known to cause issues on X.com

I've suddenly had an issue crop up when trying to access Twitter on Firefox. I get an error message that says "Firefox’s Enhanced Tracking Protection (Strict Mode) is known to cause issues on x.com", but the problem is Im not using Strict Mode. I have standard protection on.

unable to load X.com. Shows Firefox Enhanced Tracking as "strict". in FireFox settings, it show i'm at "standard, not Strict". Have refreshed tabs as instructed. No change. Still cant load X.com.

Since upgrading Firefox I am having problems with web sites i.e. banking where I have never had problems before, buttons no longer work or refuse to enable the following script, meaning I have to use Microsoft Edge to get anything done. I'm led to believe this problem is caused by Enhanced Tracking Protection, and having turned off Ad Blockers this would seem to be the case. Firefox advice is not to turn off Enhanced Tracking Protection and to visit a page to see those sites blocked, well I'm not doing that am I. I'd rather not switch to another browser as I've been using it since the early days of Mozilla but if this continues I may have to.
