Hi there,

I recently received notice of being a part of the one billionth data breach and I am officially sick of it. I love and use firefox and beta, but I know my privacy is not that protected. I was looking through reviews and found Waterfox which is supposed to be built on the firefox platform, but has better privacy protections. I downloaded it and all seemed right. I imported from Firefox. Then I tried to download it to my iphone and the only thing that came up was "Water Fox". I downloaded it and couldn't even get through opening it without crazy ads and it looking like some game app. It wanted my saved data from firefox to import. But, no way. Either this was pretending to be WaterFox and a scam, or WaterFox IS a scam. So, I'm hoping maybe someone here would know and would also know if I just made a huge mistake by installing this. If it were just an app pretending to be WaterFox, why wasn't there an actual waterfox app? That was the only one even close. And, the reviews said that WaterFox was students working with Firefox or something like that, but couldn't find anything about them in Firefox forums. Any info would be greatly appreciated. And, if I did just make a huge mistake, is there a way to fix it? I didn't sign in with the squirrely iphone app, but I did with the desktop. Eeeep.

I keep receiving a popup seeming to be from McAfee security regarding a virus on my computer. It isn't from that security firm. The ad locks my system till I shut off and restart my computer. This is very annoying and occurs on all installed browsers. Is there anything I can do about this annoying thing?

Please help, can anyone answer me. I am on Windows 11. Asus laptop PC. On Google Chrome, any streaming website I used with autoplay enabled would KEEP full screen mode ON after changing episodes. It would automatically go to a new page with the following episode and remain full screen. Why doesn't Firefox have this feature?? I'm seriously considering going back to Google Chrome for this one small feature. Every time I had any streaming service playing with autoplay enabled, I didn't have to manually select the full screen option every time. I am having to stand up and manually click full screen function. Every. Single. Time. This needs to change PLEASE.

Hello, I simply need to add bookmarks, but when I select Add on the phone Firefox app, nothing happens?

Phone: iPhone 11 iOS 18.5 Firefox app: Firefox 141.2 (59350)

Here's what I'm doing: Phone -> Firefox app -> 3 horizontal dots (bottom right) -> Add (top right.

I then check for the added bookmark, but find no new bookmark in: Phone -> Firefox app -> 3 horizontal dots (bottom right) -> Bookmarks (top left) -> Star tab is selected by default -> Desktop Bookmarks -> Unsorted Bookmarks -> This folder is empty Bookmarks Toolbar -> my bookmarks which are synced with the desktop Bookmarks Menu -> Bookmarks -> This folder is empty

After some troubleshooting simply adding a bookmarks for a webpage, the fault appears to be with the Firefox browser. I thought I was doing something wrong, however after further research, the final variable appears to be Firefox.

When I opened Firefox[^1] today I was greeted with a "Donate to Mozilla Foundation" page open, with the message:

"You power Firefox. Now donate to make good tech the default.

Mozilla Foundation — the non-profit behind Firefox — is building a future where technology serves people, not power.

Your donation to Mozilla Foundation keeps the internet open, private, and built for people. Donate today to make good on the promise of the internet."

Does this message mean that Donations to the Mozilla Foundation now fund Firefox development? As I understand it, previously donations were not allowed to be used by the Mozilla Corporation, which actually develops Firefox. I'd love to donate to fund Firefox development, as I feel it is a critically important open source project.
