Firefox releases email addresses and our data to third parties!

I installed the Arc browser and Arc offered to load my bookmarks from mozilla. Out of curiosity, I let it, and it loaded my bookmarks and folders smoothly. Arc didn't navigate Firefox to the login page, so Firefox released my information without asking me.

What probably happened in the background was that the Arc browser told Firefox which email address it was requesting data from, and Firefox handed over the data to it "on notice". Firefox was not even convinced that the real owner of the email address asked the Arc browser to synchronize the folders.

Is it the famous Firefox reliability?

I already occasionally run into sites that don't behave well with Firefox, forcing me to use another browser in some cases.

Will enabling these settings tend to contribute to exacerbating the problems?

I keep getting: Save Login for http://blabla.xyz?!!

if i say 'never' it just keeps asking.

now your saying. aah. thats cause it cannot differentiate a ipv4 and a hostname.

The gethostbyname() function returns a structure of type hostent for the given host name. Here name is either a hostname or an IPv4 address

i wonder then what this browser does. not remembering by name. here thus the word never is better replaced by -> ask me again next time.

Hi Just a quick one, I am using a VPN but everytime I open my browser I get bombarded with this dam acatcha and it takes ages to clear it, please there is bound to be away I can turn this off.......

Thanks

I visited eBay.com yesterday, Now, every time I search art or photos, an eBay page selling such items pops up. Adblock Pluse extension does not stop it.

What is this tab, and why is it hidden? My usually good Google-fu didn't turn up much other than TrustArc is a cookie consent component with a terrible reputation for slowing down some sites that use it.

Can someone offer more information? Thanks.
