When the Global Privacy Control request is checked (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/global-privacy-control?as=u&utm_source=inproduct) a persistent bubble appears at the bottom of the page indicating the request has been accepted. The bubble is annoying. Is there a way to continue to use this feature without the bubble appearing?

Why can't I go to saltlife.com when I've gone to this 333 times and ordered items from them for YEARS? Also, when I'm at Kohls.com, I cannot access a site, when shopping to access part of my shopping experience. Am I going to have to change my browser to be able to shop there? I have used Firefox for years, and up until now, I've never had this problem.

I reset basically everything to see if I could get it to stop predicting what site I wanted to go to and it still does it. Cleared the history, turned off syncing, closed tabs on other devices before I turned off syncing. I see on setting for autofill address bars etc. Mobile firefox settings are reduced it seems. I am on IOS if that matter. I don't know what else would be useful.

Hello.

I clicked on a website that I did not recognised, and stupidly clicked 'allow' on the pop-up that appeared.

The website is "d6bimae071bc73d47f4g.lendexo.co.in"~

Despite having blocked this website from sending me notifcations, via the Mozilla Firefox settings page - they appear to continue.

The notifications propourt to be from McAfee, however, are coming from this website.

I use several devices with Firefox installed and I find that sync is not always "sync"-ing, or at least not very often. I can confirm I am logged-in the browsers. I do tend to leave my laptops in sleep mode and maybe sync is triggered only at browser closing? Whatever the case, I end up having bookmarks that I deleted from another machine still persisting on another for some reason or adding a bookmark on one laptop and not having it on another even hour later. Would you please take into account the option to sync at certain intervals like minutes, hours etc and let the user pick how often they want this?

Thanks! Constantin

При попытке демонстрировать экране (для совместного просмотра фильмов, например) с использованиием дискорд (веб версии) нет звука стрима. Проблема наблюдается **только** в браузере фаерфокс. В дискорде просто пропадает кнопка "поделиться звуком стрима/поделиться звуком системы" Никак не могу найти в настройках способ предоставления сайту доступа к звуку стрима/системы при демонстрации экрана. Может кто-то сталкивался с этой/схожей проблемой и у вас есть варианты решения?

Problem Description

In a server-based environment, I need to implement automatic updates for Mozilla Firefox, while maintaining strict outbound network control.

The architectural requirement is as follows: • Only the update component should be allowed to access the Internet via a proxy. • The browser itself (user browsing sessions) must not inherit or use that proxy configuration. • The proxy configuration for the update mechanism should be logically separated from the browser’s network configuration.

The Issue

In contrast to the update mechanism used by Google Chrome (Google Update / Omaha), where: • The updater runs as a separate system service • It supports dedicated proxy configuration • It does not inherit browser-level proxy settings • It allows granular control of outbound traffic exclusively for update operations

In Mozilla Firefox: • The update mechanism is tightly integrated with the browser • There is no native, dedicated proxy configuration exclusively for the updater • Proxy configuration applies to the entire browser • It is difficult to implement an “update-only network access” model
