I download my share of media using BitTorrent with Pirate Bay. Just lately, every time I attempt to download something I get redirected to a page, https://ultimatesurferprotector.com/lp5.php, that tries to sell me a VPN and I can find no way to stop this or contact them. I am happy with the VPN I have and have no interest in purchasing another. Does anyone know how I can prevent this from happening? Thank you.

I am really excited by the possibility of a built in VPN on Firefox.

However I logged in to UK BBC Channel 5 and tried to view a programme,

I was able to browse content but as soon as I pressed Play for the first series of the drama the provider picked up that I was using a VPN and shut me down.

Is this a teething problem ans will it likely be fixed?

I used to have many more icons on my toolbar. Since having to upgrade to Windows 11, the individual toolbar icons are huge! I can only get 6 on my toolbar, whereas on Windows 10 I have at least 11. Having to scroll down the bookmark list is time consuming and frustrating.

Suggestions?

I am trying to edit my payment method with Directv.com. I log in with no issues. However, every time I try to access "edit payment" their website automatically logs me out. After a discussion with them, they blame Firefox for the problem and want me to use a different browser. Is it Firefox or is it their website?

I have attached a screen shot so you can see where if I click I get logged out.

I've already tried about:config method as well as the simple 'tabs and browsing' method within Firefox settings. Nothing seems to work.

I have had quite a bit of difficulty getting Firefox VPN working. I just now got it working because of an article I found on Gizmodo.

Setting browser.ipprotection.enabled to true fixed the problem of the VPN button not showing up immediately.

I am just wondering if there is a way this could have been done through normal Firefox settings, whether this could be added to the Firefox help documents on this subject (I could not find them, but it already may be there.), and whether this could have any other harmful security effects since I got this from a non-Mozilla source.

Thank You!
