I tried the firefox VPN. I Followed the instructions at:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/built-in-vpn#w_are-any-websites-excluded-from-vpn-protection

But no 'VPN' button appears when I sign in (I am in a valid country and was told about the VPN by my browsers update). I have tried restarting and checking the toolbar, but the VPN button that is supposed to be there is not.

Firefox for Android 150.0 Build 2016155439 OS Android 16 Autoplay set to "Block audio and video" but audio and video still autoplay from NPR.org website started happening a few weeks ago Is there a way to fix this please?

thank you

I thought Firefox was all about controlling personal info. Seems not. I find nothing in the GUI to turn off the location country flag in the address bar. I have no care to know where any site is located and neither do I wish anyone to know where I am. Can I remove the location country flag feature in the address bar and be sure nobody sees where I am?

I've never had a problem before but suddenly I'm getting an error when I try to log into one of my accounts telling me "The STAT command did not succeed. Error getting message number and sizes. Mail server pop.gmail.com responded [AUTH] invalid credentials. Why is this happening now?

I have 4 other accounts on Thunderbird and this is the only one that has started giving me problems.

"Login" button does not respond to click after "Login ID" and "Password" input anymore after Apr 21 on Firefox.. Unable to access emails. https://login.netvigator.com/ Can access same website from Chrome on mini iPad or same notebook though.. How can I resolve the problem on Firefox?? Thank you.

You say, "Some essential Mozilla services are excluded from VPN routing to ensure sign-in, VPN reconnection, and screens needed to sign in for public Wi-Fi work properly. All other browsing activity in Firefox remains protected when the VPN is on."

How then am I protected in any kind of secure way?

All it would take is the Mozilla services using my public IP to lose my browsing protection. How are those connections secured to protect my identity from being exposed once the VPN is enabled and even after the VPN is enabled?

If the public IP can be discovered at sign-in, re-connections, and public Wi-Fi connections before the VPN is enabled, then that same public IP can be traced through internal logs to uncover all the VPN activity done after sign-in, re-connections, and public Wi-Fi access. So, how exactly can I trust the VPN protects my activity at all?

I'm just curious how you setup any protection prior to the VPN being enabled? I'm a former IT Network Specialist I had my CISCO CCNA certificate (Worked in school districts who wouldn't pay for additional certificates so I did all the study work and practice testing up to the CCNP certification just could never afford to take any of the exams beyond the CCNA). So, when I see these additional things like your 50 GB of free browser VPN and read how it works I get curious about the actual protections being provided. Are the people more vulnerable than they may be led to believe?

websites are being blocked when I click on links from my email account and I don't know why but I also want it stopped the websites are Stage32.com and https://course.fp-platform.online/learn/hRpTYcFi2UyZKzLm2gaOHg/theory

Fire fox is automatically playing videos/sound or both if I click on a tab that has that or also in facebook, etc. How do I stop this? I want to be able to click play when I want to hear/see something.

I have configured advance tracking protection and set all variables to true in the configuration editor except "privacy.resistFingerprinting.jsmloglevel" which is set to "warn". I still have a unique fingerprint. Other than starting over is there anything else I can do?

Symptoms: Gmail rendered on a half window, Youtube video boxes flickering, weird rendering stuff, is this my ancient GPU card? Other browsers work fine. Is it firefox, my Win11 machine, the old GPU? I don't want to migrate to another browser, but this is getting untenable!

I enabled the Firefox browser VPN as a test and then disabled it, after the Google search no longer worked.

Error says Google.com is unavailable, can't connect to servers etc.

Any ideas how to fix it ?

in android Version 150.0, the bookmarking system is broken. bookmarks are always stuck on one fixed folder choice and doors not change to the latest folder you bookmarked a new page to. Also, when tabs are in list view there is no space at the bottom for tab related popups to show without it clashing with the of the tabs open in the list view

I recently created a Google Workspace account. There, I have a user profile with a custom email address. I've set up the new account in Thunderbird, and it is working as expected. If I send a message from my "external" account to the workspace account, it arrives, and I'm able to reply back.

One feature of Google Workspace is what they call "alternate email" addresses. They sort of work as an alias for the native address. I have created one such alternate. If I send a message from my external account to the alias, it arrives correctly in the workspace account. However, when I reply from the workspace account, it does not go back to the originating address, but instead it is addressed back to the alias. If I repeat the experiment from the Gmail web interface, it replies to the correct address.

I've downloaded all the headers, and the Return-Path tag is correct. I can provide the full header if needed.

It feels like there is an invisible forwarding action to get from the alias to the workspace account, and that the reply action is incorrectly finding the interim alias. But that doesn't really seem to be what I see in the headers - although I'm probably not the most expert reader of those.

And it isn't necessarily a Thunderbird issue. I can see that there could be something going on with Google. But this is a good place to start...  :-)

I am having issues using the search functions on car rental websites for National, Enterprise and Alamo car rentals. I enter in all the needed info for location and dates, but when I search, I get an error message that says try again later. See attached screenshot. I am using Firefox 150 and Windows 11. Other car rental sites work fine and I've never encountered this issue before.

I'm using Firefox v126. I'm searching through the add-ons trying to find a few that I like and most don't work with my older version of Firefox. So I click into the version history of the add-on and find an older version of the add-on that will work with the version of Firefox I am running. Except... I click it and I get:

"The add-on downloaded from this site could not be installed because it appears to be corrupt."

say what? ok maybe a fluke, so I click on through, older version, older version, still old version. All give me the same error. Okay, maybe its just the add-on, no, its literally any older version of any add-on.

No way all those versions of add-ons are "corrupt." I can download the .xpi, rename to .zip and view the contents. Anyone run into this particular problem before and if so, how did you fix it? I'm keen to keep v126 of Firefox and would like to use the add-ons that I like to work with it.

I have removed the drive from the computer that will not boot up. I hope to be able to transfer my "profile" to my new computer from that drive. I understand that I will need to have the same version of Thunderbird installed on my new computer in order to transfer my "profile". Since I can't access Thunderbird on my "crashed" computer, how can I know what version I had installed previously? How do I find where to load that version on my new computer?

Basically, I reinstalled Windows, and I had all my passwords and stuff on my Firefox beforehand. Now, I don't remember my accounts password, and not the security key either.
