I-Firefox Community Forum

Dear Community: What settings can I use so that the sites I continually use recognize me. I have to sign into my email many times a day and also to the New York Times Games which I subscribe to. Is there a way to allow these sites to recognize me without having to go through signing in each time. Even if I log out and a minute later I need to go back on. I have to go through the rigamarole of signing in yet again.

I do not have to do this on my phone as the sites recognize me. I used to be able to do this on this computer also now I can no longer do it. I believe there is something in Firefox settings that is causing this but I don't know what it is or how to change the settings that are causing this.

Pages of text but I don't understand what the [expletive] you are doing or why! It's incoherent! Don't tell me what to do without telling me HOW to do it! We customers are not all software engineers. Unfortunately the software engineers who write everything I've been reading haven't learned that. I constantly read stuff that use terminology that is not self-explanatory. Then I'm asked to make a decision that is so badly defined that I have no idea what I'm deciding! SPEAK PLAIN ENGLISH!!!!! Don't ask me to choose among a list of options that YOU have defined, but none of which have any relationship to what I need to know. The "which topic" box just above this one is a perfect example. It took me a long time to even find this opportunity to speak to you! Choosing between incoherent options does not advance clarity for me or knowledge for you. Just stop using computer lingo and speak in a manner that would be understood by a 9 year old, or in my case, a 79 year old retired mechanical engineer. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to actually vent my frustration at what I run into on a daily basis, not just with Mozilla. Tom Riddering, [email address]

P.S. This whole incoherent mess this evening started when I tried to authorize McAfee to protect me from trackers, just exactly what that means I'm not sure, but it sounds bad. It's not at all clear just what would be tracked, who would bother tracking me, and why I need protecting. My life is so utterly boring.

I'm trying to disable the tracking on my laptop. All this tracking is getting way too personal for me! When I go to Privacy & Security in Settings, I only get the option to Manage Exceptions where you have to enter certain website names for exceptions to privacy.or tracking. I want to disable all tracking as it's an invasion of my privacy. Any help will be appreciated and I am not a computer "techie" so specific instructions will be needed. TY

I started using Firefox Nightly for the split view, and I'm a tired of this alert.

I skimmed the quick article about configuring the Privacy & Security settings, but it seems like this feature just isn't working properly.

It doesn't matter if I click "allow" or "block", the alert always comes back. I care about my privacy, but not enough to do this every time I refresh a page.

I'd be happy to provide any documentation, just lmk what y'all need.

If a site is designed so that it breaks if trackers are blocked, why would I want to deal with such bad actor? In other words, don't the exceptions to tracker-blocking enable bad website behavior?

I can't delete some websites from advanced tracking protection, I type in a website but it doesn't add it to the list. One site is mail.proton.me. Even the ones that are added still don't load when I open Firefox, they are telling me I have connectivity issues. This has only started happening since the last updat. Everything work perfectly on Chrome! What is the point of having tabs and pinning them if you have to open them manually every time you log on?

Firefox is supposed to be replacing copy without site tracking with copy clean link however the new Firefox download has copy clean Link greyed out!!

I will continue to dismiss the update until there's no longer an option for me to do so at which time I will just give up using Firefox and try using a different browser.

Lately, when I go online to bank account, at the botton of screen is says transferring data from Google. Google is NOT installed on my computer. I have Firefox and Duck Duck Go. NOT GOOGLE

I am using version 140 on Linux and now two company sites do not work properly when "enhanced trakcing protection" is enabled. The 2 companies are "public mobile" a Cell phone provider and "Voip.ms" a phone provider.

When I log onto public mobile I cannot view my specific account information, I can see other menu information. voip.ms I cannot log on either chat or the main customer portal. This only recently changed within the last 4 days and I am using the same version of firefox.

Can you provide an explanation as to why this is occurring?

There is a site for the california l and It suddenly won't function right. iInstead I get a banner telling me that GPC has been enabled. How can I get things workng properly again.

recently the protections dashboard is not showing the same information as before, with much lower numbers of blocked trackers. why is that? color of bars is different also.
