To be honest. Firefox is starting to be a big pain to use. I'm starting to see more and more of this screen where it say's "Be careful. Something doesn't look right" Even when i go to the advance and say proceed. Nothing happens and i'm getting no where. I know many of the sites don't have anything to do with asking for credit card, Scam or even having popup's. I test the sites in other browsers and there work without any issues. But Firefox is starting to lock me out of many sites due to this. How can i make this stop. As i used Firefox for many years.

The sample that is in the screenshot is a Anime data base that i have also used for years. But today shows this. But was working fine yesteday. What is going on and how can i fix it. So i can start using the browser that i love on the sites i want to.

My current version of Firefox is 151.0.4 (64-bit) & for the past 2 weeks or so every time I use the search bar to google something it triggers one of those "We've detected unusual activity from your network" requiring a Captcha. At first I tried all of the typical stuff [antivirus, vpn, extensions, etc...] to make sure that wasn't the issue. But as of yesterday & confirmed today I can actually go to Google's website first & do the search from there with no issue & no captcha.

So, whatever the issue is has to do specifically with doing the search via the search bar... for some reason. Is this a bug in the browser, or is there perhaps some setting that could cause this to happen in the about:config page? Though, I doubt a setting could be it because I've changed the settings I've changed now for years without causing this issue.

what it says on the tin. went data purging with ol reliable WinDirStat and found this absolute behemoth of a file in the profiles directory for firefox. its especially weird considering the entire Firefox directory itself is only 1.5GB with this menace taking 1.3 of it. I cant imagine that bookmarks, search history, passwords, the works takes up any more than about 300mb. so im wondering if im just stuck in the early days of data or if the file really is just that girthy.

Hello,

we have a reproducible issue in Thunderbird when forwarding emails with attachments.

Environment: Windows 11 Professional Thunderbird version 152.0 (The issue also occurred in the previous Thunderbird version) POP3 account Mail provider Strato AVG Business Antivirus installed, but the issue also occurs after testing AVG related settings Issue occurs with different attachment types and sizes, for example PDF and DXF files

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open an email with an attachment. 2. Forward the email using Forward Inline. 3. Add recipient and some text. 4. Save the message as draft. 5. The first save works. 6. Save the same draft again, with or without changing the text.

Actual result: The second save fails with an error message similar to:

“Your message cannot be saved as a draft. There was an error attaching [filename]. Please check if you have sufficient access rights to the file.”

Expected result: The draft should save repeatedly without an attachment error.

Important observations: The problem occurs with all tested attachments, not only one specific file. The file size does not seem to be the cause. The issue also occurred with a small DXF attachment of about 355 KB. The issue also occurs in Thunderbird Troubleshoot Mode. The issue still occurred after creating a new Thunderbird POP3 profile and downloading the remaining emails again from the Strato POP3 mailbox. Changing the draft folder did not solve the issue. Removing temporary Drafts files and rebuilding the Drafts index did not solve the issue. The issue originally appeared to be related to AVG, but later tests showed that AVG is not the main cause. If the automatically inherited attachment is removed from the forwarded message and then manually dragged again from the original email into the draft, the draft can be saved without problems. Changing forwarding mode from Forward Inline to Forward as Attachment solves the issue.

Conclusion: This looks like a Thunderbird issue with automatically inherited attachments in inline forwarded messages. The first draft save works, but on the second save Thunderbird seems unable to reprocess or resolve the inherited attachment and shows a misleading access rights error.

We would appreciate any advice on how to further troubleshoot or resolve this issue. If this is a known bug, we would also be grateful for any information regarding a planned fix or available workaround. We are happy to provide additional information, screenshots or perform further tests if needed.

How can I log into my account when Mozilla has locked it? You list no e-mail address, phone number, I have spent alot of time today trying to unlock my account? Why would I want to donate $ to Mozilla, when the customer service is so poor? My account username is [email address]. This is also my e-mail address. I would like to get my account unlocked so I can sync my passwords.

Thanks,

Joe

When I have video playing in Firefox's PIP window (ex: YT) and when I enter full-screen mode in browser, the windows 11 taskbar does not disappear.

It works normally when there is no PIP window.

I have uploaded pictures of: - Not full-screen and with PIP window - Full-screen and with PIP window - Full-screen and without PIP window

OS: Windows 11 23H2 Firefox: Version 152.0.4 (64-bit)

Hi all,

I’m looking for help with a Windows taskbar issue. My taskbar refuses to auto-hide when I have a video in full-screen and a Picture-in-Picture video running simultaneously. It works fine with just one video, but the PiP window keeps the taskbar active.

Does anyone know if there is a setting or workaround to fix this behavior?

Thank you.

in the last week or so anytime I click on a page a new tab will open with junk ads or a popup will come up on the screen and block content. They can be closed and deleted but it happens continually no matter what settings I have or preferences set. I have pop up blocker toggled in the settings and I have a Mozilla ad blocker but it is not working. Please help! this is really annoying!
