If I were to delete my Mozilla account, would I be automatically signed out of both my Mozilla account and my Mozilla Support account across all devices?

Also, when deleting my Mozilla account, is any and all information related to both my Mozilla account and my Mozilla Support account deleted?

I signed up & paid for Mozilla Monitoring Premium. I get monthly reports from then, but when I click on "automatically delete data from brokers," I'm asked to sign up for Premium again. Please help.

I noticed a wierd popup when opening mozilla. It said "you're always starting mozilla when starting the pc". How and why does an internet browser have to have any information regarding when I boot my PC? What else does mozilla look at outside the browser environment?

If they claim it's needed for performance: Illogical, boot times have nothing to do with the internet browser. If referring to general performance then you can't possibly track and tailor every new piece of hardware that enters the market. Instead you make your browser with prerequisites that you yourself control (eg. install vcredist for this browser to work or something like that).

Why then is Mozilla monitoring my computer when the browser isn't even open or running?

I went to settings and then to privacy and security and tried to find auto fill to remove credit card info. I couldn't find the setting the browser told me to find.

How would one purge their cookies, search history, tab data while resetting/randomising identifiable information (for example if Firefox were to give each user a serial number or unique tag which it hands to webpages), all without resetting a users a user's browser settings, about:config & browser extensions downloaded (and extension settings). I am using Debian GNU/Linux, so bear in mind that I will be using the most stable version of Firefox on the Debian repos, not the newest version. I do not have a command line phobia, I am willing to do a lot of initial setup & run a specific command every time I launch the browser, even if said command is long. My current system involves rm -rfing the profile on a browser, but this is not optimal because it removes settings & extensions.

Thank you verry much for your assistance, I know this is a large undertaking and it a little overboard on the privacy and security front.

The messages in the attached file and others started appearing on one of our computers today. They look like they are from Mozilla Firefox. They have URLs to click on. Are they real or some sort of hack? If a hack, I hope you can help me stop them from happening. Please respond to [redacted] and also [redacted from community support forum] THANKS!!!

Hi,

Can we get an auto-reconnect feature in Mozilla VPN?

It's a requirement for my particular setup as my agent operates independently, but errors out when the VPN is off. Ideally we would be able to select the suitable regions that it tries to connect to after a drop - a first, second, third drop down menu or similar would work.

Today on my (android) phone I received a Firefox update. I have auto update turned off, so I don't know when it was initially available, but I installed updates on all apps late this morning. It reset all of my privacy and search settings. I first noticed because it was giving me google and firefox suggestions as I typed, and I find all autocomplete/suggestions to be annoying and not helpful, so I have always had this turned off as I NEVER want any suggestions. Finding that I checked my other settings, and found that all AI, Firefox Suggest, and usage/diagnostic data were all turned on which were not earlier in the day. I always have this garbage OFF.

After work I checked all of my devices. All of them are set to update automatically but one. That is the only device that did not reset my privacy and search settings, but as soon as it updated it did. (none of my other settings seem to be impacted, as other things I've changed are still there).

Is this going to be standard practice now? I don't even get notifications when it is updated so how will I know to turn this off? Do I just have to check every day? I did a security check just a week ago and all of my settings were off. I do this every few weeks as windows likes to change my settings and install apps I don't need with updates so I regularly check all my apps privacy settings on my phone and PCs.

Is this a known issue? Is this going to be resolved? I don't like when companies collect my data after I have turned it off.

Hi,

Please tell me exactly WHAT AI, WHERE that AI is, and EXACTLY what DATA is transmitted, on an option that's enabled BY DEFAULT on Firefox.

"Use AI to suggest tabs and a name for tab groups"

And the same question for ALL other AI features.

There is ZERO transparency on this issue, and I'm mightily disgusted that you feel the need to, by default, force share the EVERY WEBSITE VISITED with a third party AI system.

Why is my browser stating that it is managed by my organisation.

I have never used it fr work and it is my personal laptop. Please kindly provide steps to remove this

My facebook account keeps getting double logins and ip4 logins rather than ip6 addresses. I think my ex-employer has installed a certificate into firefox on my laptop. I know absolutely nothing about certificates and have never knowingly installed one into my firefox web browser. But after looking I seem to have a certificate, is this certificate something that is allowing someone else access to what I view on my browser or allowing access to my cookies? Would users normally have their own firefox user certificate installed that they are unable to remove with a year on the date? I have added 2 screenshots. Hopefully someone can help Best regards David

Just getting started using Mozilla features after many years absence. So much has changed! I have yet to decide what I need help with. All of it! So let me proceed on my own to figure this out and return for support when I feel I need it most, and more importantly, when I feel I feel I have the time and energy to devote to the learning curve required.
