When I synced my phone with Firefox Windows desktop and iMac, the IP address stated was different to each of the IP addresses assigned to each of those devices and the location was different (estimated) even thought the name of the devices was correct. Should I be concerned by this? I have attached the email from Firefox re new account sign-in re new device pairing, which shows the incorrect IP address and incorrect (estimated) location. Thank you.

Hello,

I believe the following to be a deficiency in Privacy and Security settings under 'Clear History when Firefox Closes' is selected.

My Environment: Windows 10 Pro (21H2 Os Build: 19044.2130), Firefox 106.0.1 Note: This problem/issue has been present for many versions prior to the versions listed.

Problem Description: Under Settings - Privacy and Security - History, I have Clear history when Firefox closes selected. When I restart Firefox and check History under the Menu bar there is no History as one would expect.

However, I also have dragged the Firefox icon down to the Windows Task bar and use that icon as a shortcut to start Firefox in both normal and private modes. The issue here is upon right clicking that icon there is a huge list of previous websites listed under 'Recent'. If you have the settings described above there should be NO history showing. This is a significant Privacy issue and should be covered when the above settings are selected.

So, this should be corrected in a future update. In the meantime where does one go to delete this cache of saved websites for Firefox.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I've now installed Firefox several times including at least one clean install. I've worked through all the support pages on how to fix the problem, including system scan using MalwareBytes, and removing extensions, but the problem persists.

To be more precise, sometimes it just crashes immediately leaving the notices shown in the image. Sometimes it opens and stays for a while but then crashes with a similar notice.

Crash reports:

bp-945b32f1-96b3-4233-ba19-03c310221026 26/10/2022, 12:02 bp-2af09469-4ba1-4531-8406-5e0f70221026 26/10/2022, 12:02 bp-d7d56904-ca94-4397-812d-a39260221026 26/10/2022, 09:55 bp-7e88f783-318e-4401-b825-89a810221024 24/10/2022, 18:50

Hope someone can help.

Hey folks, i'm not sure if anyone else has seen this issue.

I have YT Premium for downloading videos when i'm out and about on mobile and laptop, i've noticed on the browser the download option is now missing with the newest Firefox update.

I opened YT in Chrome and Edge and the option is available - obviously I don't want to swap away from Firefox, so thought i'd raise it if others are having the same issue.

I'll also raise a ticket with Youtube to see if they're doing something dodgy.

Firefox Version:

  • 106.0.1 (64-bit)

Addons:

  • Multi Account Container
  • Facebook Container
  • DuckDuckGo
  • uBlock Origin

I recently added the Firefox Private Browsing feature and I believe I made a mistake. Since then my computer often slows to a crawl and I have to restart it to get it to function normally. I wish to delete the Firefox Private Browsing feature to end any burden it may be on my computer. I do mean delete and not disable.

How can I remove the Firefox Private Browsing feature?

Sincerely,

Hello,

Recently, I did run an update on my Mozilla Firefox browser but then I noticed that the Amazon search shortcut had changed to Amazon-Fr. It is no longer the Amazon-UK as it used to be and it is impossible to revert it. I followed all the guidelines that your support page has published on your page here [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/assign-shortcuts-search-engines]. This availed to nothing and it was a waste of time. I honestly believe that something is pretty not right with the shortcut assignments. I attach images as evidence to show what I am writing is true.

Can you grant assistance in this matter?

Thank you.

I have an account that I am unable to log into or reset the password for. When I attempt to do either, I receive an error saying "Primary account email required for reset" which appears to be a database issue.

I believe that this could be fixed by populating the "Primary account email" field with the current contents of the username so I am finally able to log in with that account.

Is there any way I can get in touch with someone at Mozilla to get this issue fixed?
