The five Firefox relay have not been used by me; can I create new ones. I don't use shopify or pinterest. It looks like they were set up in 2024. Can I receive 5 more to clean these out. Thanks.

I noticed a wierd popup when opening mozilla. It said "you're always starting mozilla when starting the pc". How and why does an internet browser have to have any information regarding when I boot my PC? What else does mozilla look at outside the browser environment?

If they claim it's needed for performance: Illogical, boot times have nothing to do with the internet browser. If referring to general performance then you can't possibly track and tailor every new piece of hardware that enters the market. Instead you make your browser with prerequisites that you yourself control (eg. install vcredist for this browser to work or something like that).

Why then is Mozilla monitoring my computer when the browser isn't even open or running?

Hi. Cannot seem to figure out how to remove 3 Mozilla Firefox notifications appearing vertically up the right side of my windows 11 LG gram laptop. They are covering up part of the mozilla dropdown window when I click on the 3 little lines in the upper right hand corner. Sorry, not very good at explaining this. I know I have to eliminate these spam notifications, just need step by step instructions... Please help me, Thanks [edited email from community support forum]

In order to access a software product I had paid for (specifically Komplete Standard 15 from Native Instruments) I was instructed by Native Instruments to open an account with Plugin Alliance. Whilst doing this I was invited to create a mask email. I thought this must be a message from Plugin Alliance. Having attempted to create this mask email, I can't get any further with my Plugin Alliance account. I would like to dispense with the mask email because it is more trouble than it's worth. How do I do this?

I have periodically popups with Firefox.

I tried to block popups with the following procedure :
   click on "parametres"
   in the left of the window, click on  "vie privée et sécurité"
   look for "permissions" 
   ask for blocking  popups

After all this, I still have popups. What should I do ? Thanks in advance Francis Prusker

I have telemetry (every checkbox under "Firefox Data Collection and Use") disabled, but noticed that the datareporting/archived directory contains telemetry files. Is this expected, or does this indicate a bug that shows that telemetry is being sent?

The file paths have the format:

<profile dir>/datareporting/archived/2025-09/<unixtimestamp>.<uuid>.main.jsonlz4 <profile dir>/datareporting/archived/2025-09/<unixtimestamp>.<uuid>.events.jsonlz4

Heard this new guy thinks AI slop is the way to go: I dropped google and chrome because of this YEARS ago, even before the obscene direction 2025 has brought. AI has been nothing but a violation against my privacy and consent, theiving not just personal information but artistic merit and PROGRAMMING ITSELF??? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU???

monitoring bloatware is infesting my tech. I've spent hours fighting against it for my elderly mother because she doesn't know better. I'm installing Mint because Windows 11 is USELESS.

I will drop Mozilla faster than an unwashed boyfriend. I came here specifically to say this. DO NOT. GO TO AI UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE

Hi

when i download something from my mozilla private browser and close the browser, the downloaded data automatically disappear from download folder. is it a common feature.

I've noticed over time Mozilla has become less focused on consumer privacy and more focused corporate interests.

My questions are to you developers of Mozilla.

Would you have reached success in the past using this model?

I've noticed a corporate trend of brands being consumer friendly in the beginning of their history then over time snubbing the customers in favor of getting paid to sell data to corporate interests, data brokers and government entities.

Should we trust you?

I've been using Firefox for almost 20 years and anyone can agree that this browser isn't getting better over time.

Can you provide a list of all the third parties you deal with selling our data?

I have a nagging feeling this isn't the browser it used to be and some of us will need to change to a less corporate focused browser to protect our data, since it seems you aren't interested in that model anymore.

Why does Mozilla's new CEO feel the need to bloat and mine data in the browser I downloaded to escape that in other browsers? Can I not escape AI in one place? I come to Mozilla Firefox for one reason and one reason alone and y'all suddenly seem very keen on getting rid of this reason.
