places.sqlite: this file records EVERY website I've ever visited in a db table! This despite opting out of History and flushing daily It's frustrating that FF surreptiously collects such personal info. Why record every site I visit, date-timestamps, frequency, etc.?

moz_historyvisits_dateindex ON moz_historyvisits (visit_date) moz_places_lastvisitdateindex

As test, I changed the name to places-sqlite.old to see if FF will create a new one It didn't make a new table; re-created the old one.

I need to update FF because of the expired certificates, but would like to clear these out first. Similarly, can I get rid of the icon database? My bookmarks are backed up as JSON and HTML files. I just wished they didn't contain extraneous info

About once a week, since 1/4/25, I been receiving different emails demanding payment or the author will divulge to all of my email contacts about the pornography I am supposedly viewing, which I do not. Can you do anything to close these email accounts? All of the messages are from different authors with different email addresses. I keep thinking this will run its course and end but it has not. Thanks. Jim Woodburn

Dear Madam or Sir.

I am using Firefox for so many years now, with some donations now-and-then, but due to the recent change of data privacy policy on your website, I am somewhat worried...

Firefox is the only browser left which is not controlled by Big-Tech. So if Mozilla has some problems with money, I would prefer to pay a subscription rather than seeing my data sold to some tech company. So if you guys need some money, please ask for some monthly subscription first before making a deal with the devil... I mean, I would rather buy an annual license for Mozilla VPN although I don't need VPN, than seeing Firefox going down the drain. I don't want google to have even more data... Best regards, and thanks for the good work. Dirk

It seems to me that Firefox's DoH implementation is not just pointless but actually harmful. It is security theater. Let me explain:

  • There is no fine-grained control
  • There is no ability for the user to choose what level applies to what networks
  • Default Protection provides no protection when there is a canary domain (trivial)
  • Increased Protection provides no protection when the default provider fails (trivial)
  • Max Protection requires manual intervention when the default provider fails
  • Bonus: it's inconvenient or impossible to use on mobile

For DoH to be useful, the user has to invest effort they could better spend setting up a proper system-level solution.

I am on Firefox version 139.0.

I have attached a screenshot shown in the following link.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/pop-blocker-settings-exceptions-troubleshooting

I do not have this message. Have I turned something off, not set a option, or is there a problem with Firefox?

How can I tell if a web page is not being displayed correctly because of a missing pop-up?

When viewing a PDF, I selected some text, right clicked and chose the "Highlight Selection". The selected text was not highlighted. Instead, the "highlight" button on the top right corner pop up and the freehand highlight was triggered, while all my previous selection was lost.

I image this was not the intention of the "highlight selection", and I was also wondering if there is a shortcut for highlighting text in pdf.

Why in the world am I seeing these tab Groups and Studies

After reading some posts on here I went to about:config and browser.tabs.groups.enabled was set to True. I changed it to false. I never set it to True and haven’t a clue to what Tab Groups are and don’t see any reason for me to have them. I only use about 4 tabs and have no use for any more. But I was noticing a Blue square box next to a tab and clicked on it and it said I had a Tab group which I deleted. Don’t know how a tab group was built, I sure didn’t ask for one and haven’t a clue what they are???

While researching this I seen something that about:studies could be the problem. I looked at it and it showed I was or had been in 4 studies!! All of the studies showed completed. I did not join or ask to be in any studies, what is Firefox doing signing me up for studies? I went to Privacy and Security and nothing under Firefox Data Collection and Use is checked including install and run studies. I have people’s secured data on here and if it gets out I could be sued!

I have run 3 full scans of different virus and all is clear. This must be something Firefox is doing without asking me for permission. I did find that browser.tab.groups.enabled was true, so I know FF must have done that during an update and I set it to False. Some post say FF will change it back to True?

What is really strange is the studies, it says they did 4 that are completed, yet it was not checked in the Privacy and Security section. Can't tell when as there is not a date.

These were the studies:

prefflip-push-performance-1491171•Complete hotfix-reset-xpi-verification-timestamp-1548973•Complete hotfix-reset-xpi-verification-timestamp-1548973•Complete pref-flip-screenshots-release-1369150•Complete
