Firefox Community Forum

I've been good about avoiding being hacked or having major problems. I'm on a Mac, with the latest update. I use 1Password. I check all the urls on questionable email. I use 2fa, and check for data briefs.

Firefox has built-in security. So does Apple. And Firefox has all sorts of extensions that provide security. Privacy Badger is from the EFF. I don't know if they all do the same thing or cover things not covered. The descriptions say they protect me, but how do I know? At times, I probably have overkill.

And this doesn't even address VPNs.

Searching for "Security" in extensions shows a list of about 2,000 extensions. "Privacy" returns a list of more than 2,600. I would think that if you were confident in your security, there wouldn't be so many, and/or you wouldn't list them. Do you have a gap that we need to find an extension to cover?]

There needs to be some consistency and clarity as to what you protect against and what they claim they protect against so we know which one we really need. It feels like buying a car and being told to go find our own tires in a vast warehouse, and then search for the gears we want, etc. When we get on a plane, we don't select our own seatbelts. If on a cruise ship, we don't choose our lifevests. If that were the case, no one would get on boats or planes. By letting us fend through thousands of security programs, you shift the responsibility to us. And very few of us have enough training or knowledge to do so.

I don't expect you to be perfect, but helping us through this maze would be great. I probably know more than the average person, but it feels that

I had to do a reinstall of windows and I did a sync just before. However, I did not remember the firefox account password. I did a Forget Password at sign and now all synced data, bookmarks, saved passwords are not coming up. Can I recover the old data?

Description: Intermittent black or white blocks partially covering parts of the image, this problem disappears when you open the same webpage in troubleshoot mode. Steps to Reproduce: This problem I have is when i open an image inside a website I am subscribed too. It first occured about three weeks ago, I tried all the available cleaning tools cache etc to try to resolve this issue. As none of that worked and I had the computer quite a while, I decided to do a complete new Windows installation but the problem was still there. This problem occurs in The British Newspaper Archive website, Newspapers At Ancestry website and Ancestry.co.uk, this problem does not occur using any other browers. I can open the same webpage in both Windows Edge and Duck Duck Go browsers and the issue is not there. So, that suggests to me that the issue is in the Firefox Browser itself. I have tried opening the webpage in the Firefox troubleshoot mode, and the issue then disappears, but then as I re-open Firefox normally, the issue returns. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me to resolve this issue. Thanks.

i couldn't find the "Menu button" which i was supposed to click, to begin changing the name everyone would see. ( i have ALWAYS loved Mozilla - the Firefox graphic - instead of corporate U.S.!) But, tonight has taken OVER AN HOUR to just fill everything out, so my supportive Review of a kind Dentist could be POSTED!!

PLEASE HELP. Honest to the Almighty - i couldn't sleep last night. Am now exhausted.

For several weeks now, whenever I try to log in to a google account, Firefox crashes. The crash happens on the screen where you enter your email address, before the page where you enter your password. I start to enter my email, and about 3 letters in to typing my entire browser freezes. The crash also happens in troubleshooting mode, so I know that it isn't a problem with one of my plug-ins. This isn't an urgent issue, I can get by with the gmail accounts that are already logged in, but it is really annoying.

Issue: The issue raised in this article thread was answered with the suggestion to re-ask over at Mozilla Connect, which I did.

When I looked at my account in greater detail, it appears that every single article submitted there is still "awaiting moderation" - most of which have been awaiting moderation for years.

I wanted to send a private message to the moderators over there, but there appears to be no username "moderator" or "moderators" and I don't know the name of any specific individuals to message.

I hesitate to post this question there as yet another "idea" because it will likely sit in the moderation queue unanswered.

Question: What can I do to ask the administrators/moderators for that set of forums for assistance in getting articles out of the moderation queue?

Thanks again for all your help!

Like probably a Lot of you I don't support the unethical So-called "Forced-obsolescence" and am not planning to "upgrade" Microsoft every 18 months or so for the next 90 years on each on Every single family Computer and give in to their Scare tactics for financial, environmental and Ethical reasons.

I am currently running Firefox "Extended Support," or ESR, I think it's called. Was wondering, If I ever **DO** decide to upgrade our bloatware Spyware operating system(s), basically if they break enough Apps like Apple Likes to do to force an upgrade, how difficult or easy would it be to Migrate from ESR to the latest regular version of Mozilla/Firefox...with all my Settings, etc. still in place?
