I-Firefox Community Forum

Dear Community: What settings can I use so that the sites I continually use recognize me. I have to sign into my email many times a day and also to the New York Times Games which I subscribe to. Is there a way to allow these sites to recognize me without having to go through signing in each time. Even if I log out and a minute later I need to go back on. I have to go through the rigamarole of signing in yet again.

I do not have to do this on my phone as the sites recognize me. I used to be able to do this on this computer also now I can no longer do it. I believe there is something in Firefox settings that is causing this but I don't know what it is or how to change the settings that are causing this.

I cannot access payment options for a utility company. A message says I should allow pop up blockers. I don't know how to do this

I'm having to use a back up computer. I opened FireFox and I have no tab bar and no way to open tabs. I have this incredibly annoying sidebar that I was at least able to move to the right. But I can't make it horizontal or clear it. I need the sidebar gone and my tab bar back.

If I right click the sidebar, I do not get an option to get rid of it.

I have checked settings repeatedly. I have even attempted to add a button at the upper right to open tabs. It goes to the sidebar with no labels and no way to clear. It's maddening.

Security misconfiguration website will not allow Firefox to display the page if another site has embedded it.......appears after click on the site. How do I clear or correct this for access?

Back in November (2024) I began noticing an absorbent number of cookies in “Manage Cookies and Site Data” (MCSD). Considering I delete cookies with fair regularity daily, this is unusual. The amount that I am seeing now, is around 190 advertising/Tracking cookies even when I only visit one or two sites. If I remove them and recycle the page and return to MCSD they are all back in storage in only those few seconds. This process can go on forever. This occurs even when I disconnect from the internet. How is this possible, where are these companies storing this stuff on my computer and how do I remove them and/or stop them from self populating? I have a Dell 64 something, running windows 10 I have Ad Blocker and Privacy Badger, along with a few others that are not security based. See Attachments

Thanks

(btw my browser is Firefox Nightly) Don't get me wrong, I love having vertical tabs. It's less busy than the horizontal tabs and I can look through my tabs more quickly. But, the way it's implemented sucks - It makes the layout of the webpage pop anytime I use it; there is no keyboard button attached to opening and closing the tab (I have to go through my horizontal bar to open my vertical bar); and recently my browser forgets the sidebar settings, meaning I have to re-check the "Hide tabs and sidebar" setting.

Bonus request Can the sidebar just go over the webpage (i.e. like the application menu) instead of squishing it? I'm ok with having some webpage features temporarily covered if it means I don't have to see the screen pop into a new rectangular shape every time I switch tabs.

I look at porn on my Android phone. I use Private Browsing to do so. Why are my Private Browsing addresses appearing as Firefox Suggest results that appear outside of Private Browsing as well? And why does Pornhub show me a personalized home page when I'm using Private Browsing? None of these pages are in my browser history because I've only accessed them via Private Browsing. But these "features" sort of defeat the purpose of it don't you think?

I've just switched from Chrome to Firefox and never had this issue with Chrome.

I don't know how to give permission for third party cookies. I'm completely lost. https://pennstate.service-now.com/sp?id=kb_a

Let's imagine that I'm trying to access a server on port 80, let's call it http://example.com:80 . I'd like to see if that site is actually active. When I try and do that Firefox instead goes to https://example.com:443 . In my example, that's actually a completely different site that I do not want to access (for completeness port 80 is used for certificate renewal of a whole bunch of different names that are all set up on other ports, of which 443 is one).

In both a regular Firefox browsing window and in a private browsing window, Firefox decides to access https://example.com:443 instead of http://example.com:80 , despite me explicitly typing "http://example.com:80" in the URL bar.

How do I prevent Firefox from doing this when I explicitly request an http site?

I've got Reading the full Article on GROUP TABS that has been released yesterday on My Firefox it Got Update and Installed But I just couldn't found the "Add to the Group option when I click right at any of my tab" + If I drag over one on Another Tab it just got replaced like they substitute their Places No BOX Border line Shows No Group Created NOTHING. I'm a Nearly 6 Year Old Firefox User I NEEDED that FEATURE SO BADLY PLEASE FIX it SOMEHOW. ThAnks Regards: Loyal USer

Trying to get onto X.com but it keeps telling me (Firefox Enhanced Tracking Protection {Strict Mode} is known to cause issues on X.com. I looked in settings and it's on Standard Mode. So what should I do?
