I have updated my ad protection but the shield icon has not updated with a white "X". What do I need to do?

I've been accessing the Townhall website for years without any issues. However, beginning yesterday afternoon, I started getting the below blocking message while trying to read the website articles. I claims that I have ad blockers, which I do not have nor use, especially the ones identified in the second image. Note that I do not receive this message when using other web browsers. However, I do use an AVG Secure Browser and an AVG Anit-tracking AP, but I've been using both for years without any issues. Why am I being blocked by Townhall using your web browser?

Good morning. We have had an issue with these two rental websites no longer working even at the point of log-in (especially VRBO) as a Host or owner. Even after dumping cache and cookies (like 3 times we cleared the cache, etc), there is no change. We had to start using Edge... (which we despise). Please look for a remedy.

The blockage is just a recycle of the log-in page after entering user/passw. It empties the user ID and refreshes the page. We try again with the same result.

The wife uses Chrome on her Chromebook and it doesn't have the blockage or issue... works okay.

Thank you.

For the past few days, my picture-in-picture that shows up for videos always just goes to fullscreen. I am unable to resize the video or have anything else up, it just becomes a full screen of whatever I chose which defeats the purpose, I feel, of this setting.

Please help.

At my company, we use a third party vpn application. Every time the vpn connects, firefox fails to load any public internet pages. I can only load pages within the vpn.

The workaround has been to fully restart firefox each and every time for it to correctly map vpn + public internet pages into it's routing.

This has been a major inconvenience and I am having to use other browsers, which I dislike.

This annoying notification on the bottom right keeps popping up everytime I take a screenshot. I've been using computers for the past 17 years, I know how to paste things by now. Even worse, it overlays on other applications and pesters me there for about 10 seconds until I close it. Can this notification be hidden in about config or do I have to find a community add on that does the same thing, but without this stupid notification?

Whenever I try to type in numbers on a web page, Firefox either closes the page or it opens the address bar on the browser. Sometimes it puts up a dialog box asking if I want to leave the page. It's very frustrating because Firefox is making it difficult to add a new credit card to my accounts. This started in the last few weeks, and I'm not aware of any new updates. I tried to refresh Firefox but this problem is continuing. I have a refurbished by Apple 2020 MacBook Pro running Monterey 12.4. I believe in Mozilla and would hate to go to Chrome as my main browser. Can you help me? [email removed from public]

Lastpass has had major data breaches in 2011, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019, and two in 2022.

Today I got a recommendation to install LastPass. I was a bit surprised. LP (logmein, gotomypc) has a history of databreaches. I found reports in 2011, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019, 2021, and two in 2022.

People without a lock on the door know they have no security. Putting on a lock that is not effective only gives people a false sense of security and may even increase the threat.

I love many of the add-ons. I know I can't rely on anyone to make sure they are all secure, but I hope such well-publicized problems will result in a review.

The billions lost and hundreds of hours spent by people each year with passwords in our fight with hackers is a true drain and a danger. Password programs have been the only way for individuals to survive. Their standards for security must be even higher than others. LastPass has not met the standard for a high level of security...or even a low level.]

LastPass has one reason for existing--keeping our passwords safe and secure. In the light of their failure, it's time to stop recommending them. It undermines the credibility of Mozilla and Firefox.

How can I select the sites which are displayed or can I shut them off all together ?!?

Hi forum,

I use Firefox 104.0 (64-bit) in Ubuntu. I use Firefox to connect to my gmail and my professional services which requires two factor authentication. For each of these services I check "Don't ask me again on this device". But each time I restart my laptop, I have to enter again my TFA. I guess this is a configuration problem, but I can't find which one is it: I don't know browse in private mode, so it should be something else. Any ideas? Kind regards
