Guys because of the way the INTERNET is set up, none of our complaints are getting through to folks in other states i.e the Federal Government/White House. Y'all are going to realize how much these internet companies and phone companies control. I'm trying to contact the White House and another agency. Realize what and who controls wifi and phone internet. I've submitted alot of things and need help. No response needed, but if you know someone, have them look into security breaches with federal agencies. Especially in North Carolina. I said with the White House because I can't tag anyone. Our complaints go to a STATE BERAEU AND NOT THE FEDERAL BERAEU is all I'm going to say! I can't even download another browser through the play store! I need help. They control everything including your app. Contact the president about these agency breaches. People need help. This is serious. Get white house involved. Please help us. I'm Jakime Lamar Ellison. Too many are against. Please be one to help.

Hello, I noticed that the Firefox Android app does not have a lock feature as the Google Chrome Android app does for private/incognito browsing. I feel as though this is a very useful feature that secures the icongnito tab in the google app so that I could leave the app and no one would be able to access the tabs other then me due to it requiring a fingerprint to open. Firefox seems like a good android app, I just wish that it had this feature.

I recently accessed a scam retailer website on my phone and made a purchase. When I tried to open the same website on my computer using Firefox, to show my husband how professional the scam site is, it was blocked by Norton safe search. Does the Firefox app have a similar extension that can be used?

I'm trying to remove over 500 passwords saved in FF, I removed it on PC and it disappeared from all connected Win clients. But I can't remove it from Android - they are still in FF & Lockwise. Tell me then, why sync works between Win clients but Android client ignores deletion of passwords?

Hello,i would like to ask about your "Dark web monitoring tool" that checks if an email/password is leaked. 1) is it avalible directly from the web without downloading anything? 2)Is it free too? 3) i don't know if your ad-blocker blocks all trackers&ads like Brave does. But is it better than Brave? 4)I mawy be wrong if i'm wrong please correct me but your browser have a "Dark web monitoring " tool that checks for leaked email adress/passwords?

Why has my otherwise serviceable Firefox for Android suddenly begun redirecting my input of "nnnnn.com" to "https://www.nnnnn.com/sa/ar/Home.page.com" ; forcing me to edit the url to include

" ... /us/en/ ... " in order to reach the English language website? 

I occasionally research Arabic language websites and those are rarely if ever Saudi Arabian as the redirect imposes. Update: Troubleshooting I did on Firefox Android shows that my issue is only in Private Mode. Typing the affected URL in regular mode gets me to the correct US English home page with no redirect to the Arabian version.

It seems like a difficult problem, which no one knows how to solve, not even Firefox (?) The problem has existed for a while and has not been recognized and resolved by Fiorefox. Very simple and straightforward problem: open a web page, give permission for location (this is indeed set in the settings) and the web page can determine the location. After closing the web page and restarting it, the location is blocked again, even though the settings states that Firefox still has access to the location.

Both 'Enhanced Tracking Protection' and 'Site permissions' show exceptions and an explanation of what they are (for 'Enhanced Tracking Protection' anyway) but seem to have no way to add an exception.

How are exceptions added 'Enhanced Tracking Protection' and 'Site permissions' in Fennec?

Thanks

I'm trying to set my DNS settings in Firefox Nightly to a custom service. But i am having nothing but problems.

"Firefox Nightly 128.0a1 (Build #2016025199)"

I want to use one of these settings for the secured w/ECS:Malware blocking, DNSSEC Validation, ECS enabled.

My only problem is I'm not sure which format of the address options I should be inputting in the DNS settings in the about:config

Please help.

Secured w/ECS: Malware blocking, DNSSEC Validation, ECS enabled

IPv4 9.9.9.11 149.112.112.11

IPv6 2620:fe::11 2620:fe::fe:11

HTTPS https://dns11.quad9.net/dns-query

TLS tls://dns11.quad9.net

P S. Yes I know I can set a custom DNS address in the connections settings of my android device. And it works most of the time. I however want my own settings in the browser itself.

Thank you in advance

Hi, I did not realize that default option for browsing in Firefox for Android these days is Private mode. I downloaded it on Android 14 and am unable to see my browsing history which had some hours of search work across a topic

Is there a way to access the browsing history without rooting the device?
