Firefox Community Forum

Firefox has turned Clean Links ON by default. But, that messes up saving text from a webpage into OneNote which automatically saves the link to the page the text comes from. Now all we get is a link for the Home page of the website, making it practically impossible to find the page we need that the text reference is in. This is a deal breaker for using Firefox if this can't be turned off, but no search in Help has given me any info to turn it off. Thanks in advance for any help.

Use to have firefox account to sync, deleted it but then need bookmarks after windows messed up.

When I tried to watch a video, I got the following message:

"Video unavailable due to your privacy settings

Your browser has Global Privacy Control (GPC) enabled, which prevents video providers from receiving viewing data.

To watch this video you will need to disable GPC in your browser and reload the page."

How can I watch the video?

Recently (Nov/26) there have been frequent popup windows advertising Firefox opt ions and services: come up as a 'new' window. Is this legit? I run adblock plus for years and ublock as of today Nov 11/26. How to block and/or disable these annoying ads. Thank you

The context menu "learn more about DRM" when clicking right mouse button during a video-stream is overfluent to me (for example when already having many context menu entries from installed useful addons), how can I remove it?

I've been trying to sign into the built-in VPN but I'm stuck in a loop. As you can see on the first picture I've signed in "successfully" but when I try to turn it on it just shows me the get started button that takes me to the sign in page.

Today, while I was using my browser, I got notifications that several extensions I regularly use had been uninstalled - and that was only from the extensions which usually provide that info on being uninstalled!

Uninstalled were: - Tampermonkey - Browsec VPN (what I use when Mozilla VPN is unstable) - Stylus (which I use to make several sites usable/navigable) - Tumblr Outbox (wiping all saved outgoing ask messages I'd previously had saved!) and

Worst of all - ONETAB

Which had ~1000 tabs saved in it!

I couldn't find a way to recover OneTab as-was, so I was left with the option of reinstalling it which, according to the Devs, means that any recoverable data IS lost at that point.

So I want to know which bright spark's idea it was to randomly uninstall people's extensions for no given reason, especially when they're ones for which recovery is difficult to nigh-impossible.

I want to know who did this, why they did this, and what can be done to fix it, because a number of those saved tabs were for work. Others were for personal projects. Usually Firefox bundles this kind of thing in with an update and it usually fixes if you reload the browser - no dice today. So I want to know if I can just expect this kind of meddling going forwards or if I should start searching for a different browser entirely.

I came to Firefox to avoid Chrome nonsense. If I'm going to experience this, why would I continue to pay for the VPN or use the browser?

When I click to fill in a Credit Card field to pay for something, my correct card info appears momentarily, but then disappears. To execute a payment, I am forced to manually fill in all required information. I made sure the "save autofill" box was properly checked in the Settings, and it was. Names, addressed, etc. are all filled in properly; only credit card info is not.
