I noticed my sandbox security.sandbox.content.level is set to 8. This must be the default as I have never changed it. The only reason I even looked at it is because of a recent fix/release mention sandbox issues 136.0.4.

At one time I thought all they had was 3 levels, but I never paid much attention and have never looked until today.

Just stop sending useless warnings about Australian Government Websites. The BOM (Bureau of Meteorology) provides weather information on request. It is a free service and does not require a subscription.

bold text Since the most recent firefox update, photos of interest to me are being blocked on newspaper articles and internet articles I want to view. How can I reverse this action?’

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.

My blog has started displaying the message, "Firefox can't open this page". The message also says, "To protect your security, accounts.google.com will not allow Firefox to display the page if another site has embedded it. To see this page, you need to open it in a new window." But opening it in a new window didn't work. I tried clearing the cache, and pasting the link into a new open tab, but neither helps. I tried opening it in Safari, and that works fine, so this seems to be a Firefox problem. Any suggestion?

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 have "Don't enable HTTPS-Only Mode" selected and still cannot connect to local sites. Example http://192.168.1.81 is chnaged to https://192.168.1.81 and rrecive cannot connect message.

This problem started after you last week after an update.

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

Now that Mozilla/Firefox have joined Google on the dark side, who is everyone switching to? I would like something that works well in both Windows and android. I hear Opera can't be trusted and I don't like how there are like 6 difference versions of Opera in the android app store. DuckduckGo is just badly made IMO. Edge causes some glitches with one of the sites I use most. Should I try Brave? I just want a browser to BROWSE the web. I don't want AI. I don't need a VPN or adblock built in. I don't want a "gamer" browser. A decent local password manager would be nice but I don't want to have to make an account to use it. I know if the product is free, you are the product, so I would almost prefer a browser you pay for but oddly that doesn't seem to be a popular option. Probably because the user data the companies collect makes them more money then people would be willing to pay. Sad times. I miss the 90's.

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.
