Co to są witryny z ograniczeniami, co to są strony ograniczone przez Mozillę, o czym mowa na stronie https://support.mozilla.org/pl/kb/dlaczego-niektore-dodatki-nie-sa-dozwolne-na-stronach-ograniczonych-przez-mozille?as=u&utm_source=inproduct#firefox:win10:fx135 ?

It seems to me that Firefox's DoH implementation is not just pointless but actually harmful. It is security theater. Let me explain:

• There is no fine-grained control
• There is no ability for the user to choose what level applies to what networks
• Default Protection provides no protection when there is a canary domain (trivial)
• Increased Protection provides no protection when the default provider fails (trivial)
• Max Protection requires manual intervention when the default provider fails
• Bonus: it's inconvenient or impossible to use on mobile

For DoH to be useful, the user has to invest effort they could better spend setting up a proper system-level solution.

I've seen cites that prove that Mozilla's latest policy updates (thanks for no notice) are now positioning Firefox to sell our data for both ad targeting and AI training purposes. I oppose both, and have no use for Firefox if it joins those already disrespecting and monetizing user privacy in those regards. How do I a) ensure I'm getting the plain language notices of further policy updates, and b) register my dismay with Firefox for this betrayal? While you're coming up with an answer, I'll be discontinuing my monthly support for the Mozilla Foundation. I have HAD IT with the greed people ruining everything.

I received an email from breach-alerts@mozilla.com and wanted to know if this is from Mozilla or a scam.

It said it was from Mozilla Monitor and that I was part of a breach

Mozilla Monitor⁩ discovered the following data breach that includes your personal information:

Breach source:

   Orange Romania

Your exposed data:

   Email addresses, Partial credit card data, and Phone numbers

We’ll guide you step-by-step on how to resolve this data breach.

The urls in the email started with https://blrv1ly5.r.us-west-2.awstrack.me, for example:

https://blrv1ly5.r.us-west-2.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F%2Fmonitor.mozilla.org%2Fuser%2Fdashboard%2Faction-needed%2F%3Futm_source=monitor-product%26utm_medium=product-email%26utm_campaign=breach-alert-free-us-no-scan%26utm_content=lets-get-started-us/1/010101954707497e-60e09c39-3a6c-4790-9ec8-1e6c480be653-000000/vhuplzy93ytOGWRRt1XRPcDqVKM=416

places.sqlite: this file records EVERY website I've ever visited in a db table! This despite opting out of History and flushing daily It's frustrating that FF surreptiously collects such personal info. Why record every site I visit, date-timestamps, frequency, etc.?

moz_historyvisits_dateindex ON moz_historyvisits (visit_date) moz_places_lastvisitdateindex

As test, I changed the name to places-sqlite.old to see if FF will create a new one It didn't make a new table; re-created the old one.

I need to update FF because of the expired certificates, but would like to clear these out first. Similarly, can I get rid of the icon database? My bookmarks are backed up as JSON and HTML files. I just wished they didn't contain extraneous info

Please assist or advise why Firefox seems to be slowing down my system by memory usage. I have a handful (6) of tabs open on 1 browser session and my system started slowing down so I checked my task manager and it shows that I have more than a dozen of Firefox instances open chewing up almost 90% of my memory.

Please assist or advise me on how to tweak my browser to perform better, and not to show ghost instances

I'm finding that firefoxcp isolated web content uses a LOT of memory on my Mac Mini. What can I do about this besides not using Firefox. I like the browser and have been using it since its introduction

Can You explain why you try to inform us about securities and improvements against privacy threats BUT now the Browser try to get access to a personal Folder? Does the Documents folder needed for internet browsing? Please, answer me otherwise I report this weird behaviour to authority. Thanks

I just learnt that the mozilla firefox terms of service have been either updated, or previously included, a clause of sorts that states that any content uploaded to mozzilla is automatically given a royalty free worldwide license to mozilla itself. Does this apply to content such as add-ons only or does it apply to things uploaded to other websites(such as social media, forums, etc)

Hi,

I saw that firefox deleted all of its language about not selling user data and that has me concerned. I chose to use firefox in a large part because I did not want my data to be sold and this change has me preparing to change browsers this week. Can you please offer a thorough explanation about why firefox is going back on a policy that it once claimed it "never have and never will"? How is my data being used, sold, and profited off of by firefox with this change? Is there a way for me to opt out of my data being sold?

Dear Madam or Sir.

I am using Firefox for so many years now, with some donations now-and-then, but due to the recent change of data privacy policy on your website, I am somewhat worried...

Firefox is the only browser left which is not controlled by Big-Tech. So if Mozilla has some problems with money, I would prefer to pay a subscription rather than seeing my data sold to some tech company. So if you guys need some money, please ask for some monthly subscription first before making a deal with the devil... I mean, I would rather buy an annual license for Mozilla VPN although I don't need VPN, than seeing Firefox going down the drain. I don't want google to have even more data... Best regards, and thanks for the good work. Dirk

Last week, I downloaded Firefox to try out and I liked it. My intention was to keep my personal browsing separate from my corporate browsing.

However, I was shocked to discover that my Microsoft Wallet in my corporate Microsoft Edge had been completely emptied! Puzzled and eager to regain access to my password-protected accounts, I remembered logging into LinkedIn via Firefox just moments earlier. Obviously, Firefox had my passwords. I used MS Wallet to import my passwords from Firefox, back to my Microsoft Wallet.

But how did all my passwords end up in Firefox in the first place? Even if I imported them, does that mean the MS Wallet needs to be wiped? I'm extremely disappointed in Firefox. This is terrible programming.

I'm not staying on Firefox after the TOS update and I would like to submit a GDRP erasure order to Mozilla. what email would be appropriate to send that to. or even better a way to opt out of the TOS and have whatever data was already collected/sold removed from all party's servers.
