I've been looking at firewall logs for my client and router software firewalls. My 3rd party firewall flags repeated outgoing TCP packets to IP 34.149.100.209 as coming from Firefox and 'Restricted', although restricted is the firewall apps syntax. When I look at the router firewall on WAN it was seeing the same IP outgoing. These packets only originate when Firefox (latest version) opens. Perhaps there's nothing to worry about or it's there to poll for those who want to select a Google search engine? Anyway, I've added a rule in the router to block the IP, although I think Google use other IPs.

There is plenty of web discussion to REMOVE restricted from Firefox but I want to make sure 'Restricted' in my case means BLOCKED, is that possible or do I misunderstand what restricted means? Thanks

Why recently after one of the most recent firefox updates, does firefox no longer delete ALL temporary cached files when I manually do so?? For years I could delete all the files, now it says there are (everytime now) exactly 2.9mb whatever, and will only go down to no lower than 2.6. What is going on? Thanks for your help.

Dans la soirée du 15 au 16 mai 2024. J'ai consulté ma page "Facebook" et les pages de mes amis. Une page "Fake" été proposée. J'ai voulu alerter la vraie personne suite recherche par "Google". J'ai envoyé un message d'alerte en privé à la vraie propriétaire de la page. Le lendemain, au démarrage de mon pc portable, c'est le "Total Crash". Ransomware? Malware? Je travail maintenant avec un HBCD 1.5.2 PE. Quelqu'un peut-il me proposer une solution? Merci et cordialement votre.

Hello!

My 15 year old mac el capitan- 10.11.6 is in very good condition. Please do anything to make final update or let me pay privately to update this browser for chase bank and proton.me

Thanks for any response

Hi, I keep receiving an email regarding this issue.

Your Mozilla account and data will be deleted Your Mozilla account is used to access free privacy and browsing products like Firefox sync, Mozilla Monitor, Firefox Relay, and MDN. On Saturday, May 17, 2025, your account and your personal data will be permanently deleted unless you sign in.

Could you please help me sort it out? Also, see the attached screenshot.

Thank you.

I continually received messages from Mozilla stating that my Mozilla account and data would be deleted.

Hi there,

I recently received notice of being a part of the one billionth data breach and I am officially sick of it. I love and use firefox and beta, but I know my privacy is not that protected. I was looking through reviews and found Waterfox which is supposed to be built on the firefox platform, but has better privacy protections. I downloaded it and all seemed right. I imported from Firefox. Then I tried to download it to my iphone and the only thing that came up was "Water Fox". I downloaded it and couldn't even get through opening it without crazy ads and it looking like some game app. It wanted my saved data from firefox to import. But, no way. Either this was pretending to be WaterFox and a scam, or WaterFox IS a scam. So, I'm hoping maybe someone here would know and would also know if I just made a huge mistake by installing this. If it were just an app pretending to be WaterFox, why wasn't there an actual waterfox app? That was the only one even close. And, the reviews said that WaterFox was students working with Firefox or something like that, but couldn't find anything about them in Firefox forums. Any info would be greatly appreciated. And, if I did just make a huge mistake, is there a way to fix it? I didn't sign in with the squirrely iphone app, but I did with the desktop. Eeeep.

Here's my question.

I am well versed with, and frequently use the Manage Data tool in Cookies and Site Data to remove bothersome cookies, particularly from sites like news sites that will throw you a few "bones" of articles without mandating a subscription before requiring one to continue to use view the site.

I took a hard look at the Manage Exceptions option next to the check box that will Delete Cookies and Site Data when Firefox is closed, but requires that I'd have to input a hundred sites that I want to retain the cookies for manually, in order to avoid potentially loosing any credentials or site data.

Which brings me to my question, kind of the reverse of the steps you use to both delete cookies and Manage Exceptions. Rather than going one by one with Manual entry of each site that you want to retain site data and cookies for, why not generate/provide a list, populated the way the Manage Data function works. And then, let the user just select the exceptions to auto cookie deletion when you close Firefox?

This lasts possibly 3 seconds. It has an email logo and a high pitched sound. It just flashes on, not long enough to read, just long enough to be annoying. The location is always on the Top Right corner of the display. I have all notifications and web push blocked in Firefox preferences. System is Mac, OS 12.1

This is making multiple "WARNING"s to appear. I believe that it is causing my DELL to shut down arbitrarily. How do I delete this ?

I'm using Firefox on my school computer and I'm trying to use VPN but all the ones that I try to use it blocked and i was thinking if y'all can tell me a vpn that's free in Henry county 5/14/25 that they didn't block and Google told me y'all can help me find a VPN that work in 2025 for free that make me get on anything thats inotinappropriate but good for any normal person so please anwser fast not trying to rush you or anything but I would hope y'all can help me if you cant help me because you don't trust me its cool no sweat about it but yeah also when I was in dekalb county some stuff I used to use is blocked in Henry county so yeah my name is Iman Givens so think you may fingers are hurting doing this so yes please help me soon bye.

Usually I login to my account on a public PC and when I finish my work, I log out and erase all data. From some build it doesn't fully erase the history, meaning it reloads my tabs when another person opens Firefox.
