When i search something on Google it shows the results based on my IP address. Towards the bottom of the search results at the bottom of the webpage the location of the IP address mentions the city I live in.

I frequently share my screen and don't want to share that information with others. How can I remove that information from appearing when I search for something on Google?

I followed your instructions but they did not work. Specifically, I clicked on "Exceptions" after "Ask to save passwords," next to which I had clicked the box. Under exceptions, I put the URL for my bank. I clicked on "Block" and "Save Changes." Nevertheless whenever I go to my bank's log in page, it still autofills my user ID and password. (Yesterday I accidentally clicked the box when signing in to my bank's web page "Save User ID." Even though it only referred to my User ID, it now autofills both that and my password.

Also, even though there is a (non-working) Exceptions page for Saved Passwords, there is no such page for Saved User IDs.

Btw, when I used another browser to sign in to my bank's website, it did not autofill, so it's not the bank's software that is autofilling.

Thanks, Joe

I cannot open the Mozilla download page. It seems not to download anything, as I m taken to the error page (see image).

I read a support thread on the issue but I could not understand, it seems like an issue that requires previous knowledge, and I think it should be easy for old, loyal users of Mozilla to have a simple solutions for access to Mozilla site, with... Mozilla browser!

It started to happen yesterday, so far I never had such difficulty.

Thanks,

Protections against Tracking via HTTP/3 QUIC - Privacy

Hello Mozilla Community,

I hope I am right with you guys to ask this question though it is a rather technical question. Please let me clarify that I am not a programmer myself or a network engineer but rather a hobbyist who is especially interested in privacy.

As I was reading about HTTP/3 and QUIC, I came across an academic paper called ""A QUIC Look at Web Tracking".

According to this paper QUIC gives web servers and third parties a good way to track users via the "source-address token" and the "server config" which are both stored on the client('s browser/machine). Now I know that this paper is from 2019 and concerns an older version of QUIC. However, in RFC 9000 "source address tokens" aka "address validation tokens" still exist and are especially used to establish future connections with 0-RTT instead of 1-RTT (see section 8.1 of RFC 9000). Though "server config" is not mentioned in RFC 9000, "transport parameters" is mentioned in section 7.4 and 18 of RFC 9000, which are also used for 0-RTT and are also stored on the client.

Neither RFC 9000 nor RFC 9114, which concerns HTTP3, address these privacy risks in more detail. Both seem to take only MITM attackers into account (see 9.5 in RFC 9000 and 10.11 in RC 9114) [as is done in a newer paper from 2022 Evaluating QUIC for Privacy Improvements Over Its Predecessors which however at least addresses the possibility of third party tracking under 5.1 3)].

I would also like to point towards RFC 9250 of May 2022, which concerns DNS over QUIC ("DoQ"). In Section 7 of RFC 9250 many privacy concerns regarding "0-RTT", "Session Resumption (Token)", "Address Validation Token" and "Long Duration Sessions due to QUIC's connection migration feature" are elaborated in more detail.

To sum up my understanding: - Using HTTP/3 or QUIC's "connection ID" for tracking should not be that viable, even if its function is to migrate connections in case of Layer-3/4 (IP address or Port) changes, because a connections life time is at least in firefox limited to 30 seconds (see Github neqo) so that a user should not be trackable for a longer period via the "connection ID". - However, longer tracking may be possible via "Session Resumption Tokens" and "Address Validation Tokens" (see Section 7.2 and 7.3 of RFC 9250; though I myself don't know the difference between these two) as well as via "transport parameters" (see "A QUIC Look at Web Tracking").

As mentioned in "A QUIC Look at Web Tracking", though a restart of the Browser seems to clear the cached state of prior QUIC connections (to my understanding the stored "tokens" and "transport parameters"), tracking via the above mentioned features of QUIC seems not unreasonable as many users today will not restart their browser, especially on mobile devices but also on desktops (3.7 and 5.1.2 of the paper).

As I was not able to find further information on this topic, I would be very happy to get some assurance that firefox is effectively preventing or at least impeding the tracking possibilities mentioned in RFC 9250 and the paper "A QUIC Look at Web Tracking".

Thank you very much for any reply or pointing me into the right direction (other sources on this topic or a more appropriate page to ask this question).

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.

Issue with primary password, I'd appreciate if someone could shine a light on this issue. I feel I'm wasting time unnecessary. Here it comes:

On a given day and out of the blue Firefox starts asking for primary password whenever it needs to save a password for a website. I type my password to no avail. I'm logged in, I can sync but I can't see saved passwords. I reset my password with recovery key. I set a new password. I log in my account. I can see my browsing history but same problem.

Any ideas on how to solve this? Thanks in advance

I want to create a list of allowed web sites in settings/cookies&data/manage exceptions, but it seems I have to enter each site MANUALLY. I would like to do this more quickly and easily by just selecting sites in the "manage cookies" list and designating them as exceptions. Or is there already some other way to do this that I haven't found? Also, after I have made exceptions for all my important sites, by whatever means, can I assume that I can press "delete all" in the "manage cookies" list and the allowed sites will not have cookies removed? What happens to exceptions if I select "delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed?" If there is no way to make exceptions other than manually, I respectively request that some convenient method be added to the program. Thanks for any response.
