Hi! I was given a link to scan my device for the ability to opt out of third party advertisement cookies and that scan said that I cannot block third party cookies because Firefox prevents it. (See attached photos from iOS apps and Windows 11 Desktop browser.)

Is that true? … as I was under the impression that your browsers were all over this topic and were helping us stop the tracking etc. and were lin compliance or we’re supporting the Digital Advertising Alliances opt out policies and principles? Or is this a Safari problem on iOS only since you have to build your browser around a Safari core?

The scan ran was from both Firefox Focus and Firefox apps on iOS 18.0.1 on an iPhone 11 and with Firefox desktop browser version 131.0.3 in Windows 11. If there is some setting that I am supposed to tweak so that my opt out choice from the DAA is hindered, then please let me know as I thought that I had already set up everything correctly to stop the tracking/ads.

I know you guys are doing great work, and keep it up!

Why there is a lot of adds on some apps, if you want to open first you must whatch the add and then the app will be opened, especially in boomplaying if you want to download a music the add come fast. So thats why?

I use firefox on my android Fairphone to play podcasts and videos because I don't want to have a zillion more apps and this matches the way I use the net on my laptop anyway.

One thing that bugs me is the notification bell every time I start watching / listening, and then the notification sound when it stops.

I've checked through the android settings (version 13) but I can't find it. Is there a control in Firefox which is causing the notifications?

Ik ga deze week een paar keer updaten en kijk of de instelling van geschiedenis en de bewaarfuncties van bezochte sites wijzigd. Daarna stuur ik een bericht. Groet, Jan

Hi,

I do not have a toolbar setting that I can find on my Firefox installation on my iPad. I want to move the toolbar from top to bottom, but I can’t do it. I’ve tried reinstalling and selecting “bottom” for the toolbar location in the tour, even after clearing all data, and it doesn’t move. Should be so easy!

Until recently, when I went to a site that I had saved login/pass, the fields would just autopopulate and i hit Login and it worked great. But recently instead of doing that a little "saved logins" popup comes up on the bottom of the screen and i have to click just right on it to get it to populate the fields. the popup will come up if you click on the password field, but then it only populates the password. so it's very persnickity and unintuitive and above all *slow*.

Is there a way to get it back to the much more convenient behavior? i literally switched from chrome to firefox because chrome started doing the same thing. i'm not ever going to have, for example, more than one login to my thermostat, and i don't want to have to struggle.

Cannot seem to get to anything that will allow me to see the cookies loaded on my Firefix browser. I only get the options shown - none of which get me to Privacy/Show or Total Cookie Protection with cookie jars. Any suggestions? Thanks!
