Firefox is not detecting my location correctly. I am in living in Idaho, NOT living in Utah and never have lived in Utah. For some reason you detect my location in error.

Firefox history contains youtube videos I didn't watch (and that aren't in my google youtube history). I've realised they go back May, roughly when I got my new linux machine and installed Firefox. However, they also seem to have been watched outside the time any of my devices apart from my phone are on. They're mostly just junk videos about minecraft etc.

See attached pic - the ones this morning between 5.48 and 7am I didn't have the laptop turned on. My phone was on though, but by the bed.

How has this happened and how can I track down how to stop it?

I'm writing this on my Windows desktop, can send details of other devices if useful.

Hello everyone, I’ve been using Firefox for Android and I’m curious about the best ways to ensure my online privacy and security. I’ve heard about different settings and extensions, but I’m not sure which ones are most effective. Can anyone guide me on how to configure Firefox for maximum privacy and security? Also, are there any additional steps I should take to protect my data while browsing? Any recommendations or tips would be appreciated. Thank you!

I am trying to add a password to the password manager for a specific URL like https://example.com/page. However after I save the password it save it to the address https://example.com and removes /page. Is there a way to change this?

Hello I recently added a Uniswap browser extension to my desktop from your extensions tab. It is a bad program and it has stolen my seed phrase and subsequently all of the crypto from my metamask wallet. How is this allowed to happen?

For System Administrative reasons, I want to disable automatic Firefox updates. Firefox can ask me if I want to install an update, but I get to choose whether or not to update.

Bonjour, Les boutons d'acceptation de cookies ne sont pas actifs et par conséquent les vidéos sur le site "Le Monde" via Firefox ne sont pas accessibles (cf capture d'écran). J'ai pourtant géré dans les exceptions le site "Le Monde.fr" mais il s'agit en l'occurrence d'autoriser la catégorie "contenus tiers" et je ne les connais pas individuellement. Comment procéder? Merci de votre aide. Cordialement.

Hello The cookie acceptance buttons are not active and therefore the videos on the "Le Monde" site via Firefox are not accessible (cf picture). I have managed the "Le Monde.fr" site in the exceptions but in this case it is a question of authorizing the category "third-party content" and I do not know them individually. How do I do it? Thank you for your help. Kind regards.

Please read below my emails to Ghostery support that describes the issue and the Ghostery response.

The issue is using DuckDuckGo in Firefox with the Ghostery add-on enabled, and changing DuckDuckGo AI settings.

Please let me know if there is a resolution available.

Thanks, Malc [edited] @gmail.com __________________________________________________________________________________________

An FYI -

Ghostery Tracker & Ad Blocker - Privacy AdBlock 10.4.32 has an issue in Firefox with DuckDuckGo search engine Settings changes to AI Features, Chat to off, Assist to Never, then saved and shown working with a page refresh.

When Firefox is then shutdown and restarted the intended DuckDuckGo browser changes are not applied. Assist will still show a result in a search.

Proven by disabling Ghostery, again changing DuckDuckGo AI features and saving, shutting down Firefox and restarting, then searching with DuckDuckGo with no Assist displayed in result.

I can answer any questions you may have.

Regards, Long time happy Ghostery user Malc [edited] @gmail.com

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out to Ghostery and bringing this to our attention!

We were able to reproduce the issue on our end, though with slightly different conditions. It appears that DuckDuckGo’s settings are stored locally in the browser. If Firefox is set to clear cookies and site data (either manually or automatically), this would reset DuckDuckGo’s preferences each time — even with Ghostery disabled.

Could you please check if the option “Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed” is turned off in your Firefox settings and try again? In our tests, DuckDuckGo’s settings were preserved when this option was disabled. It would greatly help to narrow this down.

Here for any further questions! Best, Ghostery Support

Hi Ghostery Support 2,

Thank you for replying.

Yes, the option “Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed” is turned on. When turned off and the Ghostery extension enabled, the changes to DuckDuckGo were saved and implemented correctly when Firefox was restarted.

I did find this.

In Firefox settings Cookies and Site Data, Manage Exceptions, I added "https://duckduckgo.com" and set Status to Allow. I also turned on “Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed”.

With the Ghostery extension enabled, the saved settings to DuckDuckGo were still active when Firefox was restarted.

But I do not think it wise to give DuckDuckGo an exception to use cookies and site data with no restriction.

Please keep me informed.

Regards, Malc [edited] @gmail.com

Hi there, Thanks for getting back to us!

Unfortunately, there’s not much Ghostery can do in this case. If DuckDuckGo saves its settings internally, there may be no way to keep duckduckgo.com out of exceptions while preserving those settings elsewhere.

You might want to look into third-party tools that support this kind of setup, or consider reaching out to Mozilla’s support team with this request.

Since the last firefox update, I cannot access the data at https://12580.portal.athenahealth.com/ . When I log in I get a graphic "can't load page". See attached file. Enhanced security is off and exception is set for this site. Popup blocker is off for this site.

Hi, I just installed Windows 11, version 24H2 and now in Firefox I'm continually prompted with "Awaiting Location Permission, Grant Firefox location permission in system settings".

The problem that location has been turned off by admin on this computer. How can I stop these continual prompts from Firefox? I have checked the box in Settings to block location requests from new websites but am still getting the prompts.

Thank you.

I keep getting pop ups warning me that Firefox is infected with viruses and I need to download and pay for a McAfee security program. How do I stop the pop ups? My computer's protection does not indicate a problem. Can Firefox be infected?

Good afternoon, I have recently swapped back to Firefox and would like to install the Online Insights Study extension but it is getting blocked for "stability or security problems." This is a Google product, so I was wanting to reach out to see if I could get a further explanation as to why this might be getting blocked, or as to why I cannot allow it to be used on Firefox, but can on Chrome?
