I was reading an article on Sophos about Firefox and how it is protecting our privacy
In the comments it listed 3 sites to check how unique your browser is: https://www.deviceinfo.me – Device Info https://panopticlick.eff.org – Panopticlick https://amiunique.org – AmIUnique
I have Fingerprinters checked to be blocked but on all these sites it still was able to uniquely ID my browser. I thought I had the options set pretty well to lock it down but it doesn't seem that way. Is something not working right or ???
Thanks

Hi all,
I realise I can disable the Automatically Redirecting/Refreshing globally, which is the default setting that I wish to have. However I have a number of sites that I use on an almost daily use where I want to have exceptions and allow redirecting/refreshing.
Is it possible to have per site exceptions? Even if through an addon?
Thanks

Yesterday I received two separate emails (to my personal email account, separate from the one I used to post this message) from Firefox as part of a new account creation, neither of which I requested. The first included a link to confirm my email. The second included a verification code.
Will choosing blocking 'cookies from unvisited websites' also block 'cross-site and social media trackers'?

EU has the pesky "Cookie Law". In order to get rid of the banner asking for permission to install cookies, permission to install must be granted. Will Firefox continue to block (chosen) cookies even after I formally give a website permission to install cookies and so forth? If the answer is 'yes', I will have to manually deselect the most invasive cookies. This would be a major nuisance. I imagine that the answer is 'no' - because, why would Firefox allow cookies based on a request from a website? Meanwhile, I can't find an answer. Thanks!

When I am on facebook and I click on a link to another website, or when I'm on another website and I click a facebook link, my browser history gets deleted for that tab, so I cannot click back. How do I prevent this from happening? It's bad that websites can do this at all, they obviously shouldn't even have access to my browsing history. Is there a way to disallow this?

Firefox 71 seems to now auto fill in a password on a site I never had happen before update to FF 71. I've gone to saved passwords and it's "not listed there" I also checked exceptions and my surprise "it is listed" as an exception but keeps filling it in anyway. Seems nothing I do will stop it.

I have a master password set and this works as expected. However, if I start a private window after inputting the password in the normal window, all the usernames (not passwords) are visible in the private window. This looks like a breach of privacy? I would have expected that a new private window would have to request the master password to be re-entered. Is this by design?

Most sites make a lot of noise about browser.pagethumbnails.capturing_disabled - and they repeat just one after another that this should be set to "true" to prevent thumbnail storage. But when you look at the right source, like: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Preferences/Preference_reference/browser.pagethumbnails.capturing_disabled
true (default)
The application creates screenshots of visited web pages.
false
The application doesn't create screenshots of visited web pages.
The name of the parameter is confusing. But it seems that it should be set to "false" to prevent thumbnail storage. And the right question should be about reading abilities ;) But I will ask another one - does Mozilla will try to conntact with those sites and say them that they are wrong? Have a nice day folks! :)

I am using the firefox version 17 and when i drag and drop an image on my website. It gives me the following error.
Unable to access local files due to browser security settings. To overcome this, follow these steps: (1) Enter "about:config" in the URL field; (2) Right click and select New->Boolean; (3) Enter "signed.applets.codebase_principal_support" (without the quotes) as a new preference name; (4) Click OK and try loading the file again. Or go to the homepage for a link to the tutorial on how to do it.
I have completed the above steps and it is still showing the same error message. Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
