Per http://mzl.la/1BsPDaX about Firefox for Android, "Some of the search engines introduced here are regionally bound".

I'd rather leave them to whatever is their default. Worst offenders are Wikipedia (pt) and Reddit, which translates every single result! Both of these seriously affect the usefulness lf the results I get (after all, tbe internet is written in English).

Right now, I simply changed the app's language to English, but that is not an ideal solution.

Is there anyway to bypass this behavior?

Is there a benefit to my changing the cookie settings in Firefox from standard to strict? Will this benefit me overall if I do this or would it cause problems that make my user experience poor? And if I change to the Firefox strict cookie setting would I then be able to give certain websites permission to use cookies without restriction at their discretion, such as say a website like Fidelity investments, which is a website and corporation I’m fairly certain would only use cookies to improve my user experience and not to sell or track in any way that would harm me. So that particular website would have more cookie ability than all the other websites that would governed by the strict cookie setting. In other words, if I go to the Firefox strict cookie setting, would I be able to make exceptions for websites on a one by one basis, websites that I trust? Thanks for your help, Steve.

My company purchased a chrome OS touch screen TV for trade shows.

The firefox app installed appears to be the Chinese version (.cn). When I try to sign in it continues to direct me to the .cn sign in page. The app is updated. The largest issue here is the .cn domain does not appear to recognize the .com accounts, as it says I do not have an account on mozilla.

Any thoughts on how to force the device to recognize it is no longer in China?

How to disable Mixed Content Blocking for site in Firefox for Android?

I have site that needs to get some resources from HTTP in my private network. But Mixed Content prevents me from doing this. However, in the desktop version I can disable blocking for the site. But I can't find a similar option in the android version.

Since the upgrade several days ago, I have not been able to select my saved password on some pages, instead I always see "Use strong password" to create a new one. I have not changed my password or anything, and can still see my account information in the saved passwords setting. How can I recover the way to input my password?

Apparently, if there are input boxes for both a username and a password on the page, my account is automatically set as before. Meanwhile, if there is only a password box, Firefox does not allow me to select my saved password.

How do the fingerprinter blocking levels work across Firefox's standard/strict/custom Enhanced Tracking Protection in Windows and Android?

I'm having trouble breaking down the specific behavior of fingerprinting protection for the 3 settings levels.

According to the Windows release notes dated 1 October 2023, "Additionally, you can choose whether to block Suspected Fingerprinters in all windows or just in private windows", but also, "To disable Fingerprinting Protection and return to the default settings, simply select "Standard" or "Strict"

In my reading, these two statements conflict. I'm under the impression that "known fingerprinter" blocking is always active, even on standard. Does enabling "Strict" enhanced protection also enable "suspected fingerprinter" blocking, and if so, is it active on all windows or only in private browsing? Does that mean we need to use the "Custom" setting to enable suspected fingerprinting blocking in all windows?

My question is the same for Firefox for Android 131.0, except in the mobile app's case, the release notes contain even less detail - so I could also be off-base there. TBH I am probably missing something obvious, so if anybody can even point me in the right direction I'd be grateful!

Thanks for any insight anybody can provide!
