Hi Fresh reinstall WIn10Pro home office pc -- want to ensure OS (WIn10pro x64) doesn't alter behind the scenes.

Want to prevent MScopilot or other rogue AI is not hiding changes unclear/unknown to user. Pc Admins and also PC std users

Have FF v140 syncing to a Msoutlook userid and have donated under that id. The donwloaded install was done via a private window as Edge had to be used.

New installs of everything. Full virus scans etc. latest updates. But still seems like MS trying to prevent using FF unaltered.

Is it best to set up a profile and then disconnect sync; then reset FF periodically and turn sync back on? Some IT people said they've done that for a while.

Are local windows users not supposed to be able to save FF settings?

Are we inviting in MS by syncing and/or donating to Mozilla / Firefox with outlook.com addresses?

Thanks.

I use Windows, and my browser is already set to open windows and tabs and to automatically open Firefox on startup. My history is set to Remember History. I've tried using Ctrl + Shift + T with no luck. What else can I do to get this function back?

Why did Wikipedia suddenly appear in the address bar at the top and when I try to put in address it goes to Wiki on them not the website. The search bar in the middle that was Google is now Wikipedia. How do I get rid of it and go back to how it was before?

This is the screen I get when I follow the instructions from the first denial screen:

400. That’s an error.

The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. That’s all we know.


the last time I received an email update on my desktop PC (Win 7 Pro) was 4:08PM (yes, PM) for one account and 4:44AM (yes, AM) for the other account. On my phone, the 4:08PM is the same but the other email account recd an update at 3:17PM.

As of yesterday, whenever I have to open my Firefox browser on my laptop I get the "You've launched an older version of Firefox" pop up email. I have to log in and set up all my preferences each time. I have never had to do that before.

When using any Microsoft 365 product on the browser I keep getting a prompt to "Please sign in" although I am already signed in. I can click the Sign in button and a about:blank page pops up for a split second. Then within a half hour or so, it will pop up again. I deleted my cookies but the problem still persists. Does not happen on other browsers.

Session Mix-Up issue

Dear Firefox Team,

I’ve been a loyal Firefox user for years, and I generally love your browser. However, I recently experienced a serious issue due to how Firefox handles saved sessions, cookies, and multiple logged-in accounts.

I had two Gmail accounts saved in Firefox, both of which were at some point used to access Fiverr accounts — one active, and one previously disabled. During a session where I was logged into my active Fiverr account, my internet went down temporarily. When I refreshed Fiverr after the connection came back, Firefox reloaded a session that appeared to be linked to the disabled Fiverr account — even though I never intentionally accessed it.

As a result, Fiverr’s automated system flagged my active account for being "connected" to a banned one. This has had a direct negative impact on my freelancing career — my account was permanently flagged, and I lost access to valuable clients and my work history.

I understand that session management and cookie handling are standard browser features, but I want to highlight how important session isolation and protection from unintended auto-logins are, especially for freelancers and remote workers using platforms like Fiverr, Upwork, and others.

Please consider offering better controls or clearer separation between accounts (e.g., warning before auto-loading saved sessions, stronger isolation per Gmail/Fiverr session, or more powerful multi-account browsing containers by default).

This small technical behavior has led to a major professional loss.

Thank you for your work on this browser, and I hope you’ll take this feedback seriously to help prevent this from affecting others in the future.

Sincerely, A frustrated (but still hopeful) Firefox user
