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.

I have one website that gives me a "Secure Connection Failed" If I click on the icon in the left address bar on mybrowser, I am given an option to "Clear cookies and site data" I click that and then appears a blue button at top that says "Clear" Now when I do a refresh of the tab, everything loads fine. This is Newsmax.com I read the news there. IS there a way to into Firefox settings and make an exception to https"//newsmax.com and make it so I don't have to keep clicking "Clear Site Data and Cookies" ? Thanks!

I recently opened this 'bug' which may involve my inadvertent use/misuse of Profiles. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2052294

How can I locate other (older) Profiles in the Mozilla Firefox structure and use this to run an older version of Firefox ie: 132 or other Version that I consider to be more stable.

(I have already seen where it is not recommended to go to an older version, once a profile has been used on an updated version. At this time - I feel any damage has ALREADY been done & cannot make things much worse.)

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"

Hi,

I'm experiencing an issue with Firefox caching a JSON file.

My website uses a JSON file to display dynamic values. After updating the JSON file on the server, Chrome, Edge, and other browsers immediately show the latest data, but Firefox continues to display the old values even after refreshing the page.

I have tried: - Hard refresh (Ctrl + Shift + R) - Clearing Firefox cache - Private Browsing mode - Confirmed the JSON file is updated on the server - Verified that Chrome and Edge display the latest values

The JSON file is requested using JavaScript from my website: Main issue on this page: https://bloxvalues.net/blox-fruits-value-calculator/ and other individul item pages too.

Could Firefox be aggressively caching the JSON file, or is there a cache-related setting or HTTP header I should check? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you. Qaamar

I'm running Firefox on Win10 with no options to upgrade to 11. Since the latest firefox update installed, I'm getting a screen that says "Oops, something's wrong," and then I'm kicked out of gmail. A screen asks about sending a report to Firefox, which I check OK for. Today this is happening about every minute to 30 seconds . What needs to happen?
