Has any body else found Firefox relay to be mostly useless? I put up with the annoyance for a few days and then had to get rid of it.

I did use it once to get past the id page for a purchase just to look at the freight cost. Too much, so the tab was closed straight away and the masked email did not leave my computer.

The problem is that signing up to new accounts or providing your email online is something that is done only very rarely compared to the number of times your email has to be used to login to an existing account but relay has to be in the way every time.

Just a hint to the developers, those accounts already have my email and they will never lose them. Also if I need to use my email to sign in, giving a mask email is not going to work very well.

Relay is a great idea if only it could determine the right time to get in the way.

   DuckDuckGo Privacy Features: The Fire Button [duckduckgo.com]
   Ever wish you could wipe the slate clean online? Our Fire Button burns away traces of websites that you’ve visited (like cookies and website caches), browsing session information (like open tabs and URL history), and permissions you’ve granted to websites (like geolocation, camera, and microphone settings).

"Email masks are masked, or private, email addresses that forward messages to your true email address." Question: Does Relay simply consider my login email for my Mozilla account to be my "true email address"? I have more than one email address. Can I have messages to my email mask forwarded to a different address than that used for my Mozilla account?

I have accounts that will not work because they cannot access my location, My computer says all access is allowed, so is there something in Firefox that blocks my location?

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

Currently my computer is defaulting to Yahoo or Google. Two symbols come up for Firefox on my desktop and both seem to open all the time. Please help me to get a secure connection with Firefox as I feel my Yahoo account has been hacked. Thank you.

After watching this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAfY_bNJTBI i went to https://www.cloudflare.com/ssl/encrypted-sni/ and did the test. Result is 3/4. (See screenshot below) Secure DNS, check DNSSEC, check TLS 1.3 check Enrypted SNI, fail In Firefox i tried doing exactly what the person did in the video but i dont have the settings he is showing in about:config Why is that? (Below you can see the screenshot, those settings are missing from about:config)

So my question reamins simple, how can i enable Enrypted SNI in Firefox?

I have an overactive spam folder. I have added numerous websites/emails to my contact list several times and these senders are still sent to the spam folder. I have to check spam and inbox folders for my legit emails. I have used FF for years and not had this problem! It is making me want to change my settings and forget FireFox!

I don't get any security from the master password or primary password because I set it on my mozila browser but when I open mozila, the browser asks to enter the password if you cancel, also I can visit my Facebook and personal mail id. actually, I used two browsers for personal use, I prefer to use mozila only for my primary passport but now it's not worthy .

hi

As title，it's unable to remove check mark in use of primary password. and not able to disable the primary password. could you please help it out? thanks.

One of the add-in permissions is "Access your data for sites in the “named” domain". I looked at that and thought, "That certainly cannot include passwords"; BUT the explanation for this permission is: "The extension could read the content of web pages you visit in the specified domain, as well as data you enter into those web pages, such as usernames and passwords. "

I was stunned.

That means that addins that get this permission have access to my banking/medical/etc. usernames & passwords. This is not acceptable. Can a permission be developed that would be: "Access your data for sites in the “named” domain" (except usernames/passwords).

The permission "Access your data for all websites" is significantly worse in that it applies to all sites.

In the past 30 days I had these accounts hacked:

3 gmails accounts (all of them the hacker was using Firefox 50)

Microsoft account

Xbox account

Facebook

All my sites (Hostgator blocked my account)

I ran a antiviurs on my PC and cellphone, and nothing was found

Any ideas/suggestions?

Is it safe to have my passowords saved on Firefox?

Thanks

I posted here the other day and no help came my way.

I had all my emails accounts at Google, my xbox account, my facebook and my MS account hacked.

What do they all have in common?

Their log in and password were saved in my Firefox.

The other gmail accounts I have that are not saved were NOT hacked.

Is it just a coincidence?

Can anyone at Mozilla care to respond?

Thank you

My email was hacked in a data breach decades ago but I am now getting more serious problems: I and my friends on my contact list are getting spam emails from me. So they are actually using my email account to send them and therefore I cannot block them.

Also, I have noticed that I am not getting emails from my bank and energy company who say that they have been delivered. However I have not received them.

Is there a way to stop this? Someone suggested setting up an alias email account linked to my email. Would this work? I have tried a full scan but cannot find anything suspicious on my laptop or phone.

Does anyone know how I can sort this problem out?
