I-Firefox Community Forum

I read a SmartBlock explanation, but it was quite unclear. Seems to be tying SmartBlock to Facebook. I do not use Facebook. Why is logging in with Facebook required for SmartBlock to work on sites that are unrelated to Facebook? Very unclear.

I can't delete some websites from advanced tracking protection, I type in a website but it doesn't add it to the list. One site is mail.proton.me. Even the ones that are added still don't load when I open Firefox, they are telling me I have connectivity issues. This has only started happening since the last updat. Everything work perfectly on Chrome! What is the point of having tabs and pinning them if you have to open them manually every time you log on?

In FF desktop, Settings > Privacy & Security > Enhanced Tracking Protection > Manage Exceptions, my list of exceptions are being cleared/deleted/wiped. Why? I have Facebook.net and Facebook.com saved as Exceptions and they keep being wiped/cleared/deleted. Could you tell me why?

Also cookies exceptions are cleared after an upgrade, not cool.

Thank You for you assistance and support.

recently the protections dashboard is not showing the same information as before, with much lower numbers of blocked trackers. why is that? color of bars is different also.

Firefox is supposed to be replacing copy without site tracking with copy clean link however the new Firefox download has copy clean Link greyed out!!

I will continue to dismiss the update until there's no longer an option for me to do so at which time I will just give up using Firefox and try using a different browser.

There is a site for the california l and It suddenly won't function right. iInstead I get a banner telling me that GPC has been enabled. How can I get things workng properly again.

Lately, when I go online to bank account, at the botton of screen is says transferring data from Google. Google is NOT installed on my computer. I have Firefox and Duck Duck Go. NOT GOOGLE

I am using version 140 on Linux and now two company sites do not work properly when "enhanced trakcing protection" is enabled. The 2 companies are "public mobile" a Cell phone provider and "Voip.ms" a phone provider.

When I log onto public mobile I cannot view my specific account information, I can see other menu information. voip.ms I cannot log on either chat or the main customer portal. This only recently changed within the last 4 days and I am using the same version of firefox.

Can you provide an explanation as to why this is occurring?

Pages of text but I don't understand what the [expletive] you are doing or why! It's incoherent! Don't tell me what to do without telling me HOW to do it! We customers are not all software engineers. Unfortunately the software engineers who write everything I've been reading haven't learned that. I constantly read stuff that use terminology that is not self-explanatory. Then I'm asked to make a decision that is so badly defined that I have no idea what I'm deciding! SPEAK PLAIN ENGLISH!!!!! Don't ask me to choose among a list of options that YOU have defined, but none of which have any relationship to what I need to know. The "which topic" box just above this one is a perfect example. It took me a long time to even find this opportunity to speak to you! Choosing between incoherent options does not advance clarity for me or knowledge for you. Just stop using computer lingo and speak in a manner that would be understood by a 9 year old, or in my case, a 79 year old retired mechanical engineer. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to actually vent my frustration at what I run into on a daily basis, not just with Mozilla. Tom Riddering, [email address]

P.S. This whole incoherent mess this evening started when I tried to authorize McAfee to protect me from trackers, just exactly what that means I'm not sure, but it sounds bad. It's not at all clear just what would be tracked, who would bother tracking me, and why I need protecting. My life is so utterly boring.

I'm trying to disable the tracking on my laptop. All this tracking is getting way too personal for me! When I go to Privacy & Security in Settings, I only get the option to Manage Exceptions where you have to enter certain website names for exceptions to privacy.or tracking. I want to disable all tracking as it's an invasion of my privacy. Any help will be appreciated and I am not a computer "techie" so specific instructions will be needed. TY
