On current Firefox & Android, why do I have to turn on VPN every time I open Firefox, if an app redirects a url to Firefox the VPN is off, also what is the Mozilla url I can check I'm connected via VPN? Thank you.

I hit the "Clear Private Session" icon, confirm, but then I have to go to:

Open Settings >

Privacy and Security >

Browsing Data >

Clear Browsing Data >

"Everything" (every check box has to be checked) >

Clear.

I have Firefox in permanent Private Browsing only, and Privacy and Security Settings are set to Strict / Do Not Fix any site problems.

Why does Firefox retain browsing site data even after I exit out of Fiirefox completely unles I do all of the above?

I just clicked on a banner to provide info

https://mzl.la/contribsurvey-2026 I didn't read the URL as I thought Mozilla would use a third party

Then when I finished the questionnaire, having provide my email address I saw another third party domain was in the chain.

So I am unhappy that two 'strange' organisations have some of my personal details.

No fault of anyone, but me, I just got carried away in the security I felt using Mozilla

(

F Focus enabled on Safari. Any effect on icloud relay. Advanced data protection on Safari not enabled yet as phone(SE 3rd generation able but older Ipad not. Safari barely shows trackers (4 in the last 30 days. Only in the mid 100-200 prior to that. Total contrast to the thousands listed on FFocus if used as an stand alone browser from the app. if Firefox normal (app also downloaded)is used as default browser instead of Safari is icloud relay, and advanced data protection of Safari not avaliable while using Firefox. Synchronisation between devices isnt a concern nor multiple tab management for me. Thanks for your help

How can I set up a VPN on my Android phone

Moderator note: This question has been moved from the Firefox Desktop forum to the Firefox for Android forum.

How would one purge their cookies, search history, tab data while resetting/randomising identifiable information (for example if Firefox were to give each user a serial number or unique tag which it hands to webpages), all without resetting a users a user's browser settings, about:config & browser extensions downloaded (and extension settings). I am using Debian GNU/Linux, so bear in mind that I will be using the most stable version of Firefox on the Debian repos, not the newest version. I do not have a command line phobia, I am willing to do a lot of initial setup & run a specific command every time I launch the browser, even if said command is long. My current system involves rm -rfing the profile on a browser, but this is not optimal because it removes settings & extensions.

Thank you verry much for your assistance, I know this is a large undertaking and it a little overboard on the privacy and security front.

I receive many unwanted/junk/spam emails a day (10 to 20) in my email inbox. How do I stop this influx of junk? right now I am blocking domains, is this the best I can do?
