This happens occasionally for many months. It is still happening on v147.0.1. I start the computer, open Firefox, and the browser loads previously viewed pages, including my Gmail account. The Gmail page has me already logged in, and I DID NOT provide my password! This has to be a big security risk. If some one were to use my computer, or it was stolen, they would have complete access to my Gmail and all Google properties! OS - Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) Kernel v6.1.0-42-amd64 Firefox v147.0.1 (and MANY previous versions)

Windows Defender is blocking Yandex.Ru, which is not even been tried to be access from. It showed in the Event Viewer that firefox.exe tried to reach Yandex.ru. Why is Firefox trying to reach there? There are no extensions apart from Firefox Multi-Account Containers installed.

Please advice.

"AI future" of Firefox - an inconvinience and a threat at once

Since the new CEO of Firefox seems to be very determined to add more AI features to the browser that I've been using (among other things) specifically to escape AI slop, I will be considering switching to another browser. It will be disheartening to abandon the browser I've been using for years, but I value my personal data (and cpu) too much to let an AI handle it. I appreciated his words that it would be "Completely opt-in, you have full control, and if you try it and find it’s not for you, you can choose to switch it off", but I strongly believe that all AI browsers are inherently insecure. The first AI feature that I can't make completely disappear forever with one click will be my sign to switch browsers. Hopefully, Firefox re-thinks its approach and decides not to destroy the exact thing that makes it so valuable - the commitment to protect the users' privacy.

Lately, I have been noticing that new Firefox browser windows (not a new tab, a new window) have been opening seemingly randomly on me. The sites in these new browser windows are always commercial in nature and seemingly random in subject matter. I am not aware of having clicked on anything that would cause the new browser windows to open. I need to know how to block this from happening; I am unable to figure it out in the various Firefox Settings.

The title. I want to be able to browse while trusting a specific CA certificate, but have the option to browse without it as well. If there is no way to do it, is there a way to toggle whether Firefox trusts a CA without needing to reinstall it every time?

Is it true that the CEO is planning to put AI into the browser? If so, I would have to switch to something else because that would be a massive privacy and security violation. I am incredibly disappointed that this is something Ive heard about when Mozilla Firefox has been one of the best browsers Ive ever used. Putting AI into everything is a waste of everyones time and resources.
