I am able to sign in, but should not have to. The VPN repeatedly drops out - not just losing my LAN but shutting down and requiring a new sign-in to restart. About half the time it also forgets all the settings I've established. Very inconvenient, because I never know WHEN it's shut down! Ideas??

Is there any way to get data back from pocket? I have been using it since it started to save articles for a book I'm working on. I have saved and sorted hundreds of articles. When mozilla acquired pocket I was so happy that it was taken over by a stable company. I had to take a year off from the project and I return to find this. I somehow missed the one email notifying me it was shutting down. My firefox search page to this day still gives me articles under a heading that reads "recommended by pocket" Is there any way to check if any of the info connected with my account still exists?

When I have stories (articles) recommended through Pocket on new tabs that I'm not interested in I will typically "thumbs down" or "dismiss" the story. What I have found recently is that causes them to be promoted to me more rather than less. I believe it's interpreting my interaction as engaging with the content rather than not wanting to see it again. For example, I was shown an article on American football three weeks ago and I gave it a thumbs down. Later that day it was three articles. I gave them the same thumbs down. After repeating this process for days, weeks later I'm still getting multiple articles recommended per day related to football. I've never read one out of interest, and I didn't have any recommendations related to sports until the first one I gave a thumbs down. Based on that, I'm convinced it's having the opposite than intended effect. Dismiss doesn't seem make a difference. Please give me a way to tune the algorithm to what I actually want to see, I like this feature and don't want to have to turn it off.

Hello Mozilla Support,

I’m contacting you regarding the Pocket shutdown and the status of my saved items.

My account contains over 10 years of saved articles and bookmarks that are highly important to me. I’m concerned that I may lose access to this entire archive due to the shutdown/deletion process.

Could you please confirm:

1.. Whether my Pocket data is still available for export or recovery

2. If there is any official method to download my full archive (saved links, tags, and collections)

3. Whether account data is already in a deletion pipeline, and if so, whether recovery is still possible

4. If there is any paid or manual recovery option available, I am willing to use it.

This archive is extremely important, and I would appreciate any guidance as soon as possible.

Thank you for your help.

I used Pocket for a while. It was excellent since it allowed taking a webpage and converting it to a document that could be copied and pasted to Microsoft word. This allowed further analysis and work on the contents of the page and was extremely useful.

Now that Pocket is gone is there another extension or a purchased extension that does the same thing on the present day Firefox.

I presently use Windows 7 and Windows 10.

Appreciate any suggestions.

this is my back-up laptop, which until recently synced perfectly with the main one. now all bookmarks are missing, and I cannot understand what is happening the background.

The VPN was working a couple of days ago, but now if I switch it on, the browser is unable to use any website. The country is displayed in the bottom left corner as "Australia" even though I set the VPN to Canada.

I would like to use built-in VPN and forward my traffice to Charles log. I enabled both by setting the proxy to Charles log. I found that nothing shown up in the Charles when VPN is on.

How can I do it?

Since I upgraded from FF128-esr to FF140-esr I always get the "Firefox is being updated by another instance" This is really driving me crazy, as I checked / did / .... everything (and even more) I found on the internet related to that.

Nothing helps !

Creating and using a new default profile didn't help

Finally I ended up uninstalling FF completely (making sure no -zero- leftovers remained in ProgramFiles, AppData a.s.o.), and reinstalled FF140.7.0-esr freshly. After installation I started FF immediately with the created default profile (only existing one) --> SAME THING : "Firefox is being updated by another instance"

And this is really a FF140 thing, when I go back to FF128, on the same computer, same profiles, ...., the problem is gone.

I would like to know in detail what checks are really done by FF to decide to give that "Firefox is being updated by another instance"

I keep getting messages on my phone that says the messages are from different websites or apps but they all have the same site listed above and when I click on it, it takes me to a banking site.

Dear Team, good day! I use russian website gosuslugi.ru periodically (not daily), and my password for this website is saved in Firefox Password Manager. Today I tried to log in to this website - but my Firefox for Windows (ver. 152.0.4 x64) showed me that I need to enter "Password" - even though it's already saved in Password Manager & 100% correct (I tried same password in Google Chrome on the same PC and in Firefox on my Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra with Firefox browser - in both cases everything is OK). Im using Windows 10 22H2 x64, activated, no any problems with it. I tried clearing the gosuslugi.ru cache in my Firefox - but it didnt help. could you please suggest any solutions? screenshot attached.
