Every time I open Firefox recently, and the Yahoo.com web page starts up, I get an annoying prompt from global privacy control, that asks to allow or not allow. IT'S ANNOYING. I went into the settings for that apparent add on feature, that I DIDN'T add, and set all 5 settings to FALSE, but the program still pops up. It ALSO screws up the format of the Firefox web page, and shows the Yahoo News feed totally different and it's also VERY ANNOYING HOW do I totally get rid of the global privacy control? I can select the Firefox settings under security to tell web pages to not sell the info, as far as I know, correct, so I don't need the retarded global add on? ?? I want Firefox news feed like it was before the update. Thank you very much... HOPEFULLY!

Hi, I avoid updating firefox browser because each time I do it resets all my configuration parameters and uninstalls my plugins. If your product version update could do this without loosing all my setup/configurations I'd be more apt to updating 'promptly'. And, I've tried the 'save your settings' suggestion I've found on the web but that is not convenient so again I avoiding doing this troublesome workaround as I have to 'review/remember how to backup firefox configuration settings each time' and review/remember 'what plugins I've installed' so I can re-install them. Thx Firefox browser user Also, when will the browser be used as simple 'gui' rather than a 'marketing/data spying tool'? I go to the same few websites and don't do any shopping so no need for 'google spying tools' to tell the marketing people to 'what I'm looking for'. I also never, ever click on any web page ads. Please create a browser version with all the underlying 'spying guts' removed, ie a 'simply, safe gui interface' for windows like back in the 1990s.

XUL error is not solved: reinstall is NO option, I did this on one laptop and almost all personal data was gone.

When is Mozilla taking responsability and solve this problem ?

Or is is not solvable and do I have to transfer all my personal data to an alternative browser? a lot of work for a stupid error.

Kind regards,

Hans.

A while back you had an update that it changed everything that I was seeing on the computer. Example: When I opened Firefox all I could see were "Firef" rather than Foxfire in HUGE letters. I had to change the Zoom to even try to figure out what was going on. You can understand why I have not done an update since then. My question is why should I trust Mozilla Firefox enough to ever upgrade again? What will this one do to change my laptop? BTW this is an HP from only 2022.

Hi!

Like the title says, is it normal to call upon the updater.exe under "C:\program files\mozilla firefox" if an automatic update fails to install?

Just went on a limb here and assumed that this was the case, the update log said it failed to apply:

Firefox 132.0.2 (20241110231641) Installed on: 13 November 2024 at 18:52:59 Status: The Update could not be installed (patch apply failed)

Current version running: 132.0.2 (64-bit), so I assume that the UAC prompt was a fail-safe of some kind?

Best regards, Kristoffer N

A new version of the "List All Tabs" appeared on my toolbar today, shown on the left and hovered over in the attached screenshot (ignore the Malwarebytes extension icon). The old icon for this button was a chevron with approximately the same functionality. I was able to remove the old icon, but I'm unable to find a way to remove this one. Here is what I've tried so far:

  • Like the old one, the Customize Toolbar feature is unable to remove it since it is grayed out.
  • For a while, I was able to remove the old icon by going to about:config and setting browser.tabs.tabmanager.enabled to false. This solution does not work for the current and some recent versions of the button.
  • I attempted to create a userChrome.css file (following all the steps according to this this website) and added the following string: #alltabs-button { display: none !important; }

None of these attempted fixes have removed the button following a browser restart. Is there a way to remove it? I have no need of a button that shows me what tabs I have open when I can simply look at my toolbar.
