After watching this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAfY_bNJTBI i went to https://www.cloudflare.com/ssl/encrypted-sni/ and did the test. Result is 3/4. (See screenshot below) Secure DNS, check DNSSEC, check TLS 1.3 check Enrypted SNI, fail In Firefox i tried doing exactly what the person did in the video but i dont have the settings he is showing in about:config Why is that? (Below you can see the screenshot, those settings are missing from about:config)

So my question reamins simple, how can i enable Enrypted SNI in Firefox?

I use Firefox because it has better privacy and it's faster/more lightweight than other browsers. Now, more and more AI features are showing up, which harm both privacy and efficiency. If I wanted AI in my browser, I would go use any other browser. I use Firefox specifically because it doesn't do things like this, and I'm very disappointed to see it turn into every other browser full of AI.

I just want to say that if Firefox goes through with this AI bs, I will promptly be finding a new browser. The whole point of me using Firefox is it is the best browser for privacy, which I care about greatly. AI integration and personal privacy are mutually exclusive; they can't exist without each other. So do not become an "AI browser," or whatever the CEO called it. It is only going to kill a great product that is basically the only thing stopping google from having a web browser monopoly.

I have happily used Firefox for years now, but I avoid using AI for both privacy and environmental reasons. I am extremely concerned by Mozilla's increased emphasis on these technologies. I do not want, nor will I put up with, new AI features in my browser. If the company continues this push, I will move to a different browser. It'll be very annoying, and I'll be really upset about it, but it's what I'll have to do if y'all keep going down this path. Please stop.

When I visit the web site virtueonline.org using Firefox browser, the Disqus comment section does not appear below articles on the site. Sometimes, when I go in and out of the article, the Disqus comment section will appear, but not always. When I use Microsoft Edge, the Disqus comment sections appear.

Anthony Enzor-DeMeo wants to push way more AI onto Firefox. I originally became a Firefox user for the customizability, privacy, and security it offered in comparison to other browsers. How does Mozilla Firefox intend to maintain these features with so much AI slop? Will there continue to be versions of Firefox available without the AI components? I'm sick of having to turn off new data-stealing AI settings all the time on a browser I once trusted. I hate that I am now looking for other options.

This isn't so much a question as a complaint, I guess. Get your shit together, Firefox!!!

I use Firefox for privacy, lack of bloat, and other ethical reasons. For these reasons, I don't want to have the new CEO keep the incorrect idea in his head that the people who use Firefox want AI. Please don't add more AI, if anything--- please remove the AI which has already been added to Firefox which users have to remove themselves. I will dump Firefox if the new CEO continues with this plan.

bsky.app cookie continues to be loaded on computer even after I continually delete it, privacy set to strict and blocked under "managed exceptions, why is it being reloaded when I don't access the site. None of the sites I access are linked to it, only visited once and if this alternative to x continues to set cookies, how can I permanently block it, thought the exceptions list was supposed to keep blocking it. So far it's come back three times, I'll screenshot it next time and attach.

I keep getting pop-ups in the right lower corner from "mozilla firefox" (not sure if they are legit). They will say: "zeus.2020 trojan detected" or "virus detected" or "system is infected", etc. All have "Mozilla Firefox" in the upper left of the pop-up, and "via rgfirewall.xyz" at the bottom. Is this truly legit, or is it just a nuisance? I've just been closing them with the x or dismiss buttons.

I've seen cites that prove that Mozilla's latest policy updates (thanks for no notice) are now positioning Firefox to sell our data for both ad targeting and AI training purposes. I oppose both, and have no use for Firefox if it joins those already disrespecting and monetizing user privacy in those regards. How do I a) ensure I'm getting the plain language notices of further policy updates, and b) register my dismay with Firefox for this betrayal? While you're coming up with an answer, I'll be discontinuing my monthly support for the Mozilla Foundation. I have HAD IT with the greed people ruining everything.

I posted here the other day and no help came my way.

I had all my emails accounts at Google, my xbox account, my facebook and my MS account hacked.

What do they all have in common?

Their log in and password were saved in my Firefox.

The other gmail accounts I have that are not saved were NOT hacked.

Is it just a coincidence?

Can anyone at Mozilla care to respond?

Thank you

I beg of you, please do not go forward with the AI focused policies. AI as it currently stands is a rapidly sinking ship that a LOT of consumers hate, and that group is coincidentally the group that most frequently uses Firefox. By pushing forward AI-first policies, you are alienating your userbase, destroying the privacy and usability that makes Firefox special, and you're upsetting millions of people that love this service. Please, for the love of god, DON'T GO FORWARD WITH AI. Stick to what makes Firefox special, and it will flourish as every other browser becomes more and more unusable.

I am very much against the utility of modern day AI for the Firefox Browser. More often than not, integration of AI has lead to several consumers having their data read and used against their consent, which leads to both ethical and privacy issues. Firefox as a browser has no need for AI, especially when it lacks its own search engine and thus relies on sites such as Google and DuckDuckGo which already make use of modern day AI.

I implore you to rethink the decision of integrating AI into the Firefox Browser. It is, truthfully, more trouble than it is worth and lacks trust from consumers.

I am looking to turn on review checker and cannot see how to do it. I don't have the price tag icon displayed nor do I have any reference to Review Checker in my settings. I'm wondering if my version of Firefox supports it (133.0). Any ideas?

One of the add-in permissions is "Access your data for sites in the “named” domain". I looked at that and thought, "That certainly cannot include passwords"; BUT the explanation for this permission is: "The extension could read the content of web pages you visit in the specified domain, as well as data you enter into those web pages, such as usernames and passwords. "

I was stunned.

That means that addins that get this permission have access to my banking/medical/etc. usernames & passwords. This is not acceptable. Can a permission be developed that would be: "Access your data for sites in the “named” domain" (except usernames/passwords).

The permission "Access your data for all websites" is significantly worse in that it applies to all sites.

Hi all,

I have a question regarding the permission requests of the Simple Tab Groups extension by Drive4ik.

As I'm sure many of you know, this extension needs to: This add-on needs to:

• Download files and read and modify the browser’s download history
• Monitor extension usage and manage themes
• Display notifications to you
• Access recently closed tabs
• Hide and show browser tabs
• Access browser tabs
• Store unlimited amount of client-side data
• Access your data for all websites

This add-on may also ask to: Read and modify bookmarks

Theoretically, I find this extension useful but I am concerned about the "Access your data for all websites" requirement. I read through Mozilla's permission request messages for Firefox extensions documentation and it seems like granting this extension these permissions would be a huge risk for the work I do– investigative journalism. It seems like I'll trade organizational benefits for a wider attack surface.

Can anyone speak more about the risks involved with using this extension, the trustworthiness of the developer, and why it needs the "Access your data for all websites" capability?

Thank you.

I keep getting a virus alert when in Firefox. I have scanned with every known scanner and Mcafee, with nothing found. BUT it keeps popping up as an alert. I get no alerts when in Microsoft explorer. HELP!!!

I keep getting notifications, supposedly from Mozilla and/or Microsoft on lower right of my screen, telling me the system is infected. How do i determine if these messages are valid, or a scam ? Turned computer off and back on--messages keep popping up.
