Hello Firefox Developers,

No pressure for this item.

I would like to request that there be an option to censor or hide the Firefox user information in the Firefox UI and in the Settings section for privacy and security reasons, especially when doing online streams or making online guides.

At least an option to either make it "l.............@..." with an eye option beside it. Like what the password field behaviour is in online forms.

It would be nice if the option were available to the end-users.

Thank you so much.

Hey, I am currently working on an application where I want to upload files to a server using mtls via a webapp. The upload goes to another url and server than the one where the webapp is served from. If I test the file uploading without mTLS, it succeeds, and with mTLS enabled it also works in chromium, but in Firefox I get the following error: "Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at <url> (Reason: CORS request did not succeed). Status code: (null)." on the `OPTIONS` request before the `PUT` is done. The client and the server both have a certificate from a custom CA, which I imported into firefox, along with the private key. Does someone know what the issue here might be? I am suspecting that there is some problem with firefox loading the user certificate on the preflight request?

Why is Firefox leanining into this ai nonsense? Its antithetical to privacy amd security, it slows down the browser for no benefit, so i end up jumping through hoops to turn it all off. If I wanted AI, I'd be using chrome or edge. I don't want AI. If firrfox continues to shove this ai onto us i'll have to switch again. Its self sabotage at this point

A couple days ago when I opened Firefox, I immediately started getting pop up messages saying I had viruses. If I clicked on REMOVE VIRUS, it tried to get me to sign up with McAfee. I cannot see my full screen due to all the pop up screens. My MS Defender virus protection is not identifying any viruses.

I know I am far from the first person to bring this up, but it is absolutely horrid how a browser that is supposed to be one of the better options for privacy is starting to integrate more and more unwanted AI "features". None of us want this, nobody asked for this. Generative AI (including LLMs like ChatGPT and its equivalents) is horrific to even try to get a correct answer out of. It's simply processing your input and guessing what you want to hear in its output. It doesn't give facts, it doesn't help the user experience, it just makes things worse.

Every single time a new AI...thing is added, I have to go find a way to turn it off. If this keeps going, I cannot see a future where Firefox is a viable option for secure browsing. If anything, it may actually become on-par with or, dare I say worse than Google Chrome.

I've been doing free advertising for Firefox for years, successfully convincing friends, family and coworkers to reject chromium browsers and make the difficult choice to switch browsers and get use to a new interface on Firefox. I know most people like me are able to do this by touting that Firefox actually cares about keeping your data private and allowing users to opt in to many "features" that chromium browsers have you opt out of. Unfortunately with the recent inclusion of AI settings that have been turned on by default and hidden under layers of setting menus, it looks like Firefox is turning to the same tactics we came here to escape. If this trend coninues, I won't be able to in good concious recommend this browser to others, and might as well just switch back to chrome which more websites have better support for. I hope the company makes the right decision and keeps AI out of Firefox

Hi.

I'm having trouble with https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/linux-security-warning?as=u&utm_source=inproduct#firefox:linux:fx140.

It assumes the installation is at "/home/<USER>/bin/firefox/{firefox,firefox-bin,updater}" but mine is "/home/<USER>/.local/share/torbrowser/tbb/x86_64/tor-browser/Browser/firefox.real".

How exactly do I edit the line?

(Latest Ubuntu. I also have Librewolf and Firefox, but didn't see the warning as on Tor.)
