Firefox: форум сообщества

I moved some old folders to Trash but they won't delete. I've changed the retention policy, tried to delete individual emails, repaired the folders, restarted FireFox many times, but they're still in Trash. How can I permanently get rid of them? Thanks

I have found that Grok is more likely to provide a balanced answer than chatGPT, which usually swings to the left, and has a tendency to just make stuff up. I haven't really tried the rest on your list, I haven't even heard of some of them, for that matter. I don't understand why you couldn't include it, when you included all the rest. While I'm at it, why did you remove the upvote/down-vote in the new tab suggested sites? I was down-voting all of the far-left progressive garbage, out of tens of thousands of pages you never showed a single right-wing suggestion from sites like Fox, New York Post, etc., or even the center, like The Hill, but once I got rid all of the garbage from Huffington, Salon, Vox, Guardian, CNN, there were some good articles by sites like AP, Smithsonian, Scientific American, etc. that showed up and were center or center-left news, not propaganda. I'm giving up on the tab suggestions for now, I'll check it again sometime to see if you are still ignoring the 32% of the population who are right-wing Republican, and the about 38% of the population who are independent/center, to continue to concentrate on the 30% who are left-wing Democrats, and more particularly the tiny percentage who are Progressives among the Democrats. Instead of increasingly becoming the browser of choice for just one part of the population, it might be a good idea to think about representing the other 70% of the population as well.

This is a reply to WXIE about a problem I wrote about yesterday. The document i am refering to can be found here. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux

I am referencing Step 4 for Debian Trixie and Newer.

I got over/thru those issues and when I ran apt update I found that the package was looking for Firefox was looking in a different place than where the previous steps place stuff. I am just comping back to Unix/Sun OS/Linux and 30 years working with a different OS. I hope this document will be updated after someone actually takes the steps. I will continue learning.

When I try to look up phone numbers (to see who is calling/texting me), all I get is repetitive results - almost all either googleapis.com or Amazon Web Services (whatever they are). No robokiller, no spokeo, no validnumber - nothing. Not helpful at all.

I am going to be brutally honest here: I'm militantly anti-AI and think its proliferation has caused innumerable issues societally, including offloading simple cognitive tasks or questions that could have been directed towards actual living breathing people being instead handed over to something that doesn't know what words even mean, just where they might go in a sentence. Many people share my concerns, and have voiced them across social media, and have gone out of their way to criticise and take a stand against what we see as a plague.

So it is with much frustration that I find out Mozilla are aiming to turn Firefox into "a modern AI browser", per new Mozilla CEO Anthony Enzor-Demeo's first blog post in the role. I have already gone out of my way to turn off as much of the AI nonsense in Firefox as I can — even downloading a plugin to remove the Google Gemini summaries, because they're all less than useless and absolutely defeat the point of using Google in the first place — and now here we are; it's going to be shoved down our throats, whether we wanted it or not (which, of course, many of us didn't).

I didn't anticipate that this would be the thing that forces me to make an account for the support forum of all things, because my experience of Firefox up to this point (an experience spanning almost as long as Firefox has existed) has been a largely positive experience, and I even make use of Thunderbird for my email needs. Now, all of this is being swept aside because of corporate greed and an outright rejection of its userbase.

This same userbase is very strongly and vocally against this, and it is within our power — even if we don't necessarily want to have to do so — to move elsewhere. Therefore, I urge Mozilla and its leadership to read the goddamn room and recognise that we don't want this, stop forcing it upon us, and focus on being a browser that is nice to use without having to rely on the Infinite Plagiarism Machine to do it.

If there is no about-turn on this or almost prostrated assurances that you would have to directly opt in (not out, but in, specifically; as in, I would have to turn everything on myself to even see a single bit of it) to this otherwise seemingly enforced "modern AI browser" experience, I will stop using both Firefox and Thunderbird and will actively recommend against them. I've already gone some distance towards excising the likelihood of encountering AI in my life, and I will continue to do so if I have to, even if it comes at the cost of software I've been using ever since I was a teenager.

Your call, Mozilla.

Suspected sessionstore.jsonlz4 corruption possible Sync rollback conflicts -

Please direct post to Sumo forum including jscher2000 or like-minded wizards.  Chat takes you down a never-ending rabbit hole.   Sync rollback conflicts - extremely large tab sessions spontaneous restoration of previously closed tabs during live browsing

Read several different instructions on Chatgpt that takes you down a never-ending rabbit hole. Firefox is restoring previously closed tabs from days or weeks earlier without user input during active use while typing in the middle of the keyboard with an activated red stylus mouse - used frequently and/or with an external mouse. The thumb pad is turned off. There are no shift, windows, 7 strokes. Upon restart of the computer, the Firefox settings are set to restore only active tabs open from previous session. This is a Lenovo T16 Thinkpad product no. 21HH003yus. The issue appears to be related to session restore corruption, possibly triggered by very large tab volumes (hundreds of tabs). Windows 11 that tabs reopen during active typing (not startup) hundreds of tabs open whether Firefox Sync is enabled ???? whether crashes/freezes occur - no whether the same old tabs repeatedly resurrect - no, but there are so many of them from weeks and months ago. whether you use session/tab extensions  ??? Believe recent version of Firefox or close.

Help please direct post to Sumo forum including jscher2000 or like-minded wizards familiar with suspected sessionstore.jsonlz4 corruption issues. Thanks so much!
