I don't really want to disable storage or ALL cookies. But I DO want to COMPLETELY sanitize on shutdown. While this policy is effective AND network.cookie.noPersistentStorage in config has been set True, NEITHER stops Persistent Storage nor cleans it. ONLY manual cleaning (deletion) of persistent storage is available in Settings: Privacy & Security: Manage browsing data. There is no other option available that I can find. One solution suggested a setting that both disallowed cross-site cookies AND isolate other cross-site data but there is no setting like that. There are TWO separate settings for that. Besides, that is not what is wanted.

How can I either completely disable persistent storage - or, more preferred is to completely clear persistent storage upon quitting?!

I have everything else cleared on quitting but persistent storage is indeed persistent. If I have to, I will disable it completely (not preferred) but do NOT want to disable ALL storage use.

Why doesn't network.cookie.noPersistentStorage not work? Or, if it does, what does it actually do?

I would like a policies.json entry for this as I already employ the file in /etc/firefox/policies as described. This is the preferred method for multiple users.

I am using Ubuntu and Firefox Snap for Ubuntu 149.0.2 (64-bit). Let me know if other information is needed. Thank you.

Hey there Mozilla team, Love the new free built-in VPN for the browser and Kit. :D But I have problems with enabling the VPN. I am on Linux Kubuntu and the VPN cannot start. Funnily enough when i turn on Mozilla VPN on device level the Browser VPN does manage the enable itself.

Also I have a question about the Mozilla VPN browser extension. Is support for Linux still being worked on? And could we see the support being implemented soon?

Have a wonderful Day

As a loyal and long time user of Firefox [since 1998 yes 1998 ,,,] if you or i cant remove google from my browser , i might have to find a replacement, that will allow me to remove this nonsense , i await your response ATB BlackSam

I am running Firefox on Kubuntu, which means it comes pre-installed as a Flatpak.

I was having problems with various web sites so I decided to try using the version of Firefox installed with the file found here - https://www.firefox.com/en-US/thanks/

There were no problems with the install. This version of Firefox showed the same issues as the Flatpak version, so I blame the web sites.

Now I have two versions of Firefox. I would like to remove this second version but all the methods I've found do not remove it. I can certainly disable it by renaming the directory created in my user directory /Firefox. Trouble is, shortcuts I created to web sites always launch this version rather than the Flatpak version and I can't find a way to get the shortcuts to use the Flatpak version.

AV1 Hardware Acceleration stopped working. In about:support->Media->Codec Support Information Firefox states that Harware Decode AV1 is supported but it uses only Software Decoding. AV1 worked perfeclty before in Firefox, is still working in other browsers and apps in my system.

I am using TB 140.9.0esr (64-bit) on Kubuntu 25.10 but this has been true for some years. Mostly when a start a new Email address whether in the To:, cc: or bcc: fields TB does a very good guess after a few letters about the address I want. However, every so often, perhaps 5% of the time it will pick the correct person but I won't notice that it has picked an old address for that person. It seems to happen in bursts, so three times in the last few hours for two different addressees. I realise that I could shift the old addresses for people to the notes section of the address book but I would rather not as I am hoping that one day TB will have the ability to search for all Emails to/from someone across all the addresses they ever had, current or deceased. Is there a way you can stop TB suddenly changing its guesses about the addresses for a person? Or could you add a way to tell TB in the address book that addresses are dead and should never be offered as addresses to send to?

TIA,

Chris

I run TBD 140.8.0 esr (64 bit) under Debian 12 Linux. Until recently I could automatically enter a special address from the pertaining addressbook, this does not work anymore. helpfiles do not show a solution thus I am here.

The addressbook is full of addresses however I have to transfer a special address via past and copy into the addressfield of the mail I want to send.

Thanks for a quick answer Jörg Kampmann

Having forgotten the last few figures of my primary password, I am stunned to find that you offer no way to reclaim or rest it without losing all of my saved sites and passwords.

I've disabled HTTPS only mode. When i enter a local http://server.localdomain server Firefox upgrades that to https://server.localdomain. How do I disable that?

Bonjour, depuis des années ,je consulte ma boite mail : [edited]@free ,en clickant sur le symbole thunderbird dans ma barre de commande ! ces derniers jours je n'ai plus d'accés , en clickant je n'ai plus de réponse! Suite a cela j'ai redemandais à réinstaller Thunderbird dans mon ordi ,mais je n'y arrive pas ???

replaced a windows 10 laptop with a Linux Mint 22.3 laptop. Used Sync to transfer profile to the new laptop. Logged into the banking account (BECU.org) successfully. When trying to transfer money from checking to savings, the transaction failed with a statement that the date was invalid. The date was valid. A separate Linux Mint computer that never had a windows profile synced does not show this problem. Disabling all extensions did not fix this problem.

I am running Linux Mint and Thunderbird 140.9.0esr (64-bit). When I try to setup my Comcast email account I get errors and the program basically stops. For example "can't access property "cleanup", this [#configVerifier] is undefined". When I allow Thunderbird to do the initial search and follow its recommendation I get this error: Error creating account Incoming server already exists

I have Tbird running on two other computers THAT HAVE BEEN TURNED OFF. I noted that if I tried setting up Tbird on my newest Mint installation, i.e., Tbird running on my Windows machine, it would also fail to make the account.

I am at a loss as to what is going on. Any ideas???

I recently switched operating systems from W11 to Linux (Zorin), and installed a new copy of Firefox. I rely on local web pages I have written for some of my work, but the new copy of Firefox does not find the file. For example, when accessing an image, e.g., file:///magrathea/dmpase/home/index/coastal24.png, Firefox gives the message:

File not found Firefox can’t connect to the server at local file What can you do about it? Check to make sure you’ve typed the website address correctly.

The address is correct, that is, the file resides at: /magrathea/dmpase/home/index/coastal24.png and the user does have permissions to read the file. I've tried adding up to five '/' characters to the beginning, and I have turned off all of my installed add-ons, but without success.

An apparently related problem is that double clicking on a '.htm' file also changes the address, for example, from '/home/dmpase/Desktop/index.htm' to 'file:///run/user/1000/doc/f07a8988/index.htm'

And finally, the "Brave" browser is able to read the files with no errors.

How do I fix this for Firefox?

I often hit ^T (control-T) in firefox without meaning to, because I use that chord in other applications a lot. In firefox it opens a new tab, which is almost never what I want. I'd like to suppress that keyboard shortcut. I tried doing it using vimium (unmap <c-t>) but that has no effect.

Thank you, Silvio

Running Firefox in Kinoite - whenever I set a page to Reader view it is blank.

I have restarted in troubleshooting mode and it works, so I followed all the steps to try to identify what the problem is but nothing has worked.

I tried:

- Troubleshooting mode - worked - Disabling hardware acceleration - did not work - Disabled all extensions - did not work - Switched to default theme - did not work

Anyone any ideas?

TIA

I'm stuck in an endless loop in Firefox for Linux (MX Linux) whenever Cloudflare is used as security.

"Performing security verification

This website uses a security service to protect against malicious bots. This page is displayed while the website verifies you are not a bot."

I click "verify you are human" and it just loops back to the very same challenge. It isn't broken in other web browsers like Vivaldi for Linux. Or Firefox in Windows 11. Just Firefox for Linux.

It has been this way for months.
