Like many people, I have professional and personal email accounts. A long time ago, before Pocket was a part of Firefox, I created a Pocket account associated with my personal email address. And, at some point I associated Firefox with my professional email address. Now that Pocket is a part of the Firefox family and there is a push to use the Firefox login as the Pocket login, I'd like to unify these accounts. The Pocket login using my personal email address has clearly now become its own Firefox account. So, when I try to make one email address the secondary for the other Firefox account, that is disallowed with the popup saying that the account (associated with that email) already exists. Is there a simple solution? Or, is the easiest way to continue having two Firefox accounts, one I only use for Pocket?

Hello and great work so far Firefox team!

Currently, Firefox can be used in Windows from the command line to open any URL (start firefox www.google.com). Since any browser is expected to have Internet access to any website or IP address, this is a real security concern in case of default deny security for firewall outbound traffic.

Here is a hacker scenario: The PC has a list of whitelist applications allowed to connect to the Internet. This prevents lots of malware from connecting to their remote servers. However, malware can bypass that by listening on localhost and requesting Firefox to open the remote server. This way the malware sends and receives data with the server using Firefox after requesting an URL with the malware local port specified as query parameter.

This can be avoided with a special about:config option that completely disables command line processing. I don't know if that's entirely possible, but preventing Firefox to start URLs from command line or explicitly requesting Internet access for static HTML files should be enough.

Note: I use NoScript and that helps in this case, but it is not a bullet proof solution. It may be possible that one of the CDN I have allowed gets hacked with malicious JavaScript. If the malware is already on the PC, it can connect to the remote server using the hacked CDN that is allowed in NoScript. This is a two piece attack, but I still think that using Firefox to access to random URL from command line is dangerous and should have an option to be turned off.

I wish to add a new PC to devices I am currently syncing (a "legacy" PC, a laptop, my iPhone). I can confirm from the legacy my correct password and can log in using it. I have installed the up-to-date Firefox on the new PC. When I attempt to log in to Firefox/sync on the new machine, it will not recognize the confirmed password. FYI, this is a new password created Aug 23. The new machine runs Win 11, the old Win 10.

(This question should be directed at Google too.) I was watching a video the other day on Archive.org and the name Kevin Farley was mentioned; spoken, no subtitles/annotations. I paused watching the video and did a Google search on my Firefox. I typed in the word "Kevin" and the first suggestion was Kevin Farley. How is this possible? That can't be the first suggestion unless the video player on Archive.org and Google are communicating with each other. Anyone can think of several Kevins who are actors such as Kevin Farley, but more well-known than this brother of Chris Farley who, for that matter, was very well known. I don't believe that there are hidden microphones inside my computer or anything like that, but – in all seriousness: how the heck does this thing work? Is Google listening to me? And if it is, that means Firefox is allowing it to listen to the stream of audio through my sound card. (At least the line out. Maybe I should try and see whether the line in and mic in are doing the same and play a vocal sample from an external source/device saying "Kevin Farley" or speaking those words through a plugged-in microphone and see how Google responds to that.)

On Firefox's settings (privacy) I have not allowed any site to use my microphone, speakers or camera. On my sound device's settings videos, music and everything I do audiowise is going through "microphone", although I'm plugged in on the rear panel of my PC only to line in and line out i.e. when I'm playing music on WinAmp, it shows that a signal is going through the microphone as it is going through my output. (If I try to disable the microphone, then I can't capture any signal i.e. I'm unable to record sound off a video clip or from my external audio gadgets.)

Not quite sure whether this is a problem with Google, Mozilla or my PC's sound card or with all of them, but it still is an interesting issue.

I'm having problems with CPU usage (and Mac temperature) after last update in the full screen mode (I use a firefox extention). It may be changed something in last update? When normally in my daily use of firefox I don't have any problems about my pc temperature. Plus it happens that the external links like the Zoom from Firefox to the application or the the "favourites" link pages I added on my dock don't work at the first click, but I have to wait firefox to open, after I click the first time, and then I can open the favourite from my dock

Hello,

Favicon is not appearing in Firefox Popup window though they are appearing in normal tabs. In Popup browser window it is showing the default Mozilla Firefox icon. I want to know if Firefox is not supporting Favicons for Popup windows or what we need to do make the Favicon appear in Firefox browser Popup window. I am using the following line of code for Favicon-

<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/png" href="img/fav-icon.png"/>

With the same line of code other browsers are showing the Favicons correctly in Popup windows It just the Firefox having the issues.

I am currently facing issue with the attribute aria-disabled only in firefox browser. Using nvda reader when I move on to buttons using tab key the reader reads the aria-label of button but it also says button unavailable even when the button has aria-disabled="false".The same behaviour with the narrator it reads it as button disabled. The

    Hi

    I wondered if I could get help understanding why a crash might be happening. Firefox seems to suddenly be crashing for a reason I can't determine. This crash was when I opened a YouTube tab, but it also happened on a Pinterist tab yesterday. I was running Firefox in troubleshooting mode on this most recent crash, which had the following id:

    bp-5c36d424-6fc1-4fec-b56b-173b90230910

    The only thing I've changed recently is moving some extensions from the main toolbar to the new extensions "puzzle piece" area, as well as switching from the default theme to the dark theme offered in the themes area.

    Thank you for any recommendations.

    Hello, Fo years I've used native Firefox on my Ubuntu system (which is /usr/bin/firefox). Now I've switched to snap firefox, because it's the new way to use and update Firefox on Ubuntu systems. I used too an extension called Open with (https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/open-with/), to open shell scripts when I right clicked on a hypertext link to use it in the script shell. Then the script did its job with the url link received in parameter. I know it wasn't the goal of this extension, but It did the job I wanted. Now, in the snap firefox, I cannot do the same. It seems its because native messaging (https://developer.mozilla.org/fr/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Native_messaging) doesn't allow permission to interact with others applications (fix me if I'm wrong). I test several extensions, but I didn't find one to do the same job, and I've not the skills to developp it. Si here's my question: is there a way to do execute this type of script (not JavaScript) doing a right click on a link? Thank you for your help.

If I have to fill out a form on a new website all I have to do is type J and my full name, all of my email addresses, my physical address, and phone number appear in little boxes below the lines of the form. This is new and i really don't like it. Why, out of nowhere, is my information avaiblabe on the entire internet? If I hit Submit and these boxes turn a new color I will start screaming.
