I-Firefox Community Forum

I have a new mac air and I had to set up a new Firefox/Mozzila account. Since then, I keep getting a Google sign in request. I have a Google email for websites that I don't really use, so am effectively a Google customer, but I prefer to not have this pop up every time I go to a website that has a sign in. How to I get rid of these pop-ups? Thank you, Fi

When using Firefox, some web sites ask for consent. I tried opening the same sites using the Edge browser, and none of them ask for consent. Is there a setting somewhere in Firefox that controls this? Thx.

Over the last week or so my personal websites (such as Banking, Amazon, Facebook, etc.) suddenly started asking for (text or email) verification to sign in successfully. This only happens after a restart. (Sometimes I run a 'restart to untangle some glitch - but some Windows updates do a restart automatically.) And I have to go through all the verification stuff again! VERY ANNOYING!! Some MS tech this morning had me uncheck Cookies and other data in the Privacy and security category. But that didn't help. I just did a restart and AGAIN my bank(s) websites asked for a texted CODE. So did Facebook, and Amazon. Once I complete the CODE requirement it stays good until the next restart. And when I went to change that "cookies" option was nowhere to be found (to change it back) In SETTINGS>PRIVACY & SECURITY - NOW shows just the green button and box that says "STANDARD". I don't want or need this annoying added verification on every site that I use daily. I don't know exactly how or when this started...(maybe about a week ago).

The bank for our online HOA accounts wants me to allow "third party cookies". How do I allow that on my MacBook Pro?

Also, the videos that are implanted in news articles on msn.com won't load and play. How do I allow them to load so I can view them?

Thank you.

Its every time I turn off my computer or sometimes when i close the browser and opened it again. it logs me out of my emails...I don't know how to fix this. And It's annoying to put your email's every time you open the browser...

i have icloud (apple) and comcast (xfinity) email tabs that appear on my firefox home page and they open with me logged in, but about a week ago i started having to login to them. what changed?

I can not stop the google prompt to sign in with google on every page on Firefox. This is annoying and invasive enough that I am considering dropping Firefox. I enjoy every thing about Firefox but this is driving me to distraction. Please give me a way to stop this.

I am accessing payment software for my household water bill. Which cookies do I need to enable so that I can install the automatic payment software? What happens when I have installed the software and then I re-enable the block?

Using Firefox 157.0 with hardened settings, I have `Clear cookies and site data every time you close Firefox` set to enabled. There are some sites that I want to keep the cookies of (I don't want the browser to be 100% amnesic - I want a whitelist of trusted sites). To achieve that, I have set their domains under Privacy & Security -> Browsing Data -> Manage Exceptions, but when I close and re-open the browser, seems like those exceptions are cleared. I have some extensions and config changes to help harden the browser and improve usability, so those could in theory cause the issue.

Curious if somebody else faces this issue too.
