I am using Windows running Firefox with DuckDuckGo set as my default search engine. I was searching for information about a chip. STM32MP257D. Minutes later, I got a notification on my Android phone from the AliExpress app showing me purchasing options for that very chip. I tried several other things with the same result. The AliExpress was recently installed. Does anybody know what is going on here?

Thanks,

Firefox reuses window object on same-origin iframe?

I created a new iframe and added a new value in its contentWindow, and changed the src of the iframe like below.

``` (() => {

 const frame = document.createElement('iframe');
 document.body.appendChild(frame);
 frame.contentWindow.testASDF = 'TEST_VAR';
 frame.src = 'http://localhost:5500/test/iframe.html';
 setTimeout(() => console.log('testASDF: ', frame.contentWindow.testASDF), 3000); // I expect 'undefined', but 'TEST_VAR' printed.

})(); ```

I thought the 'testASDF' value would be gone after the iframe loaded the new src, but the value I set remaining even after the iframe loaded anew. In Chrome, it's not reproduced.

It only happens when I set a same-origin iframe src and modify the src synchronously with the line above. For example, the script below doesn't reproduce the problem.

``` (async () => {

 const sleep = (ms) => new Promise((res) => setTimeout(res, ms));
 const frame = document.createElement('iframe');
 document.body.appendChild(frame);
 frame.contentWindow.testASDF = 'TEST_VAR';
 await sleep(1); // asynchronous routine added
 frame.src = 'http://localhost:5500/test/test.html';
 setTimeout(() => console.log('testASDF: ', frame.contentWindow.testASDF), 3000);

})(); ```

Is this a bug or optimization of Firefox?

Hi guys,

I'm communicating with some colleagues using S/MIME encrypted messages. I have already imported all the necessary licenses, and all licenses are valid until 2034. I can receive and read all the encrypted messages they sent me, but every time I try to reply or send them (the same people) encrypted messages, the error pops up saying 'End-to-end encryption requires resolving certificate issues'. I already checked all the licenses but couldn't find any issues. Can you suggest some ways to resolve it? Thank you!

Disable password manager on mobile only

Hi,

Unlike on desktop, Firefox on mobile does not provide users the option of protecting access to their passwords in the passwords manager with a master password (go figure). This is a major security problem for persons such as myself, who have the typically shorter pin for their mobile unlock screen than that which they use to protect their password manager (it would make it almost unusable if I set the mobile unlock pin the master password every time I went to use the mobile!).

So unfortunately, if I am to use Firefox on mobile I have no choice but to disable the password manager currently.

I am signed into a synced Firefox account on my mobile device, which syncs with my desktop Firefox. If I disable the password manager in the mobile device, does that disable the password manager on all devices which are synced with the same account, such as my desktop, or just disable the password manager on the mobile device?
