I-Firefox Community Forum

Microsoft is ending support of Windows 10 in Oct 2025. No more updates, security patches, etc. Do I need to buy a new laptop since mine will not take windows 11? My laptop is 14 years old. Or by using Mozilla Firefox, I will still have a secure connection for my banking.

I DO NOT use Google for anything, if I can help it. Every time I go to my credit union's website, the google bar showing View this page in (English, in my case) or turn off for detect language shows up. I have no idea where it came from, I haven't used Chrome in years.

I've attached a small screenshot. It's not a huge deal, but I don't like google showing up at my credit union, or anywhere else.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi all,

I’m a longtime Mozilla supporter, and I really value the organization’s commitment to openness, transparency, and user-first principles. That’s why I was surprised to see that Mozilla continues to partner with AccuWeather, and I wanted to open a respectful conversation about it.

AccuWeather’s CEO, Barry Myers, has a long and well-documented history of lobbying for the privatization of weather data. Under his leadership, AccuWeather pushed for legislation like the National Weather Service Duties Act, which would have prevented the National Weather Service (NWS) from offering public forecasts if private companies like AccuWeather were already doing so. Critics including meteorologists and open-data advocates warned that this would effectively limit public access to life-saving weather information.

Myers was later nominated to head NOAA during the Trump administration, despite his deep ties to AccuWeather and multiple ethics concerns. To make matters worse, in the present day, we’re seeing reports that NOAA is being actively dismantled from within—through budget cuts, leadership changes, and political pressure that favor privatization. These efforts echo the same ideology AccuWeather has historically supported: turning essential, public-facing weather data into a for-profit model. This is especially alarming in a time of increasing climate instability, where equitable access to accurate forecasting should be a public right, not a premium service.

Given Mozilla’s dedication to transparency, public interest, and open access to information, I’m genuinely curious how this partnership with AccuWeather aligns with those values. Has this relationship been re-evaluated recently? Or are there specific factors that Mozilla considers when forming or continuing partnerships with companies whose practices may not reflect Mozilla’s core mission?

This isn’t meant to be combative—I really do want to understand the reasoning behind this decision, and whether the Mozilla community has discussed these concerns internally. I’d also welcome thoughts from other community members who may have more insight.

Thanks for reading.

In an effort to open a file I started getting multiple alerts, supposedly from Mozilla Firefox - Ransome ware detected, Systems warning (click to install updates), Google Cloud hacked, etc.). Despite efforts to dismiss they kept popping up. ALL of them said to click on cvvtph8hubcc73f9fd70.premium....... I did not, but went to my security on my laptop and had no indication of any problem with security issues. Just now I went to Mozilla Firefox site and clicked on choice to stop receiving notifications from Firefox but not sure now if my computer is safe. Also most of the alertss came with a McAfee logo.I no longer have McAfee so did not click on those ether. Is my computer safe or not.

I signed up for the vpn service a few days ago. I try to log in with my login info and i get a message of authentication error try again. I've tried a few times, at different times, i've change my password, and i get the same massage. I can login to my account and see that the payment has been taken. I get emails of log ins but the Extension says to log in. I've restarted the app on the desktop and restarted the PC.I've uninstalled and reinstalled, same issue.

My PC is old, uses Windows 7, and I have been using Ancestry.com successfully until recently. It opens properly on my Laptop, but not my PC where the majority of photos and documents are currently stored. Is there something I am doing wrong? I am not super tech savvy and one suggestion was to "allow Ancestry" but I have no clue how to do that.

Dzień dobry, Dlaczego po zalogowaniu się do swoje poczty nie są wyświetlane ilości wiadomości np w folderze Spam, Kosz itp. A w folderach są wiadomości. Wcześniej nie było takich problemów.

I received an email with the heading Mozilla Monitor listing my monthly Monitor report. Said I had 7 data breaches and asking me to click to resolve or click to view details. Is this a scam? Send answer to k.krukowski@comcast.net

I had a website that possibly phished me in my Firefox browser. I was in a webpage, and I had a full screen McAfee notification for a possible malware and asked to start a scan. I wasn't fully realizing what was happening and I did so. I was able to get out of the full screen mode and realized it was the webpage I was on but wasn't the same page I had been on previously. I started getting security popups as if Microsoft was issuing them, but I couldn't close them, and they all had links to follow. I killed the internet connection, tried repairing Firefox and still got the pop ups. So, I uninstalled Firefox and that stopped the popups. Can you tell me if there are any current security vulnerabilities with Firefox and can you tell me if there is a record of what my Firefox browser downloaded and installed on my computer?
