Firefox Community Forum

I have online accounts with both drawboard.com and offerup.com. Neither of these websites will finish logging out when I click log out on Firefox. I assume it's a Firefox issue as I do not have the same problem with Safari or Chrome when I've tried. I really don't want to stay logged in to those websites when I'm not using them. On Drawboard, the logout page just gets stuck there and won't change even if I refresh. On Offerup, it doesn't do anything at all.

Been trying to log out of offerup for weeks even with their help desk. Please help, thanks.

Firefox is already my PC browser, I guess that I have had it as my default for over ten years now. Has the new Firefox cookie protection just announced by Mozilla already been added to my Firefox or will that happen at the next auto update? Or is there some action I need to take to download this update to my browser? Thank you

how do I actually turn this off? I work for realtors and am constantly filling out contracts with addresses, and doing address searches for them. I have "autofill addresses" turned off under Privacy and security, but it asks me EVERY time I fill out a contract if I want to save the address. I have to say "not now" easily twenty times during my work day. Am I missing something obvious? this has only become a problem in the last couple weeks or so, but I am starting to get frustrated. thanks so much! Nicole

for some reason this last update is now blocking my banking website. They recently updated but i have not had trouble until Firefox updated. now i just get a Blank screen when i try to log in so SHOULD I CHANGE TO MICROSOFT EXPLORES AS MY MAIN BROWSER NOW SINCE MORE AND MORE OF MY BOOKMARKS ARE NO LONGER ACCESSIBLE USING FIREFOX?????

I am having a problem with Release 131.0, apparently with cookies. When I try to access my bank account to pay bills at https://www.citizensbankonline.com/, I get the following error message.

Why can't I access Bill Pay?

This occurs on both my two laptops and my desktops which all run W10. For one of the laptops, it allowed access with the older version of FF until I let it update to R131.0, and now it gives the same error message. I have cleared all cookie checkboxes under "Custom", twice deleted all cookies, site data, and cache, restarted FF several times - each time deleting all cookies for citizens bank, and also tried running "Troubleshooting Mode." If I use MS Edge with default settings (I don't usually use this browser), then all works fine. Is there something else I can try, or is this a known issue with R131.0?

Thank you, Tony D.

I recently read Mozilla CEO Laura Chambers' blog post titled "Improving Online Advertising Through Product and Infrastructure" dated October 3, 2024. I understand that Mozilla is introducing new advertising solutions within products like Firefox and Fakespot, focusing on privacy-preserving techniques and partnerships with Anonym.

While I appreciate Mozilla's commitment to user privacy and innovation in the advertising space, I prefer not to participate in any form of advertising integration within my browser or other Mozilla products.

Does the community have a voice or choice in the matter? Could anyone guide me on how to opt out of these new advertising features or disable them entirely? Or is my only option moving to another browser? I value the control over my online experience and would greatly appreciate any assistance or recommendations the community can provide.

I received an email when I opened Firefox today telling me that Firefox has increased security with an update that prevents third parties from accessing cookies from any site. Did you send this or was this a scam since I signed on to receive your newsletter before I left the site. thanks.

Anyone want to try something tough...? I find that the telephone confirmation system for ID checking used by Paypal does not work with Firefox. It used to, but now it won't. The system offers to call you, putting you up a number of the screen, and then calls you to get you to put that number into the keypad on your phone. It used to work fine, and validation was not an issue. There is no problem when using Chrome, but only with Firefox. There is some sort of issue with the connection as, when using Firefox, Paypal's computer does not seem to 'hear' the numbers entered on my phone, then suddenly, unasked, another code appears!

Anyone had this? Justin

Hello there,

I'm using an own Certificate Authority in order to create certificates for intranet websites. There's a chain of trust, I always imported the public part of the ca-certificate into the phones "Trusted credentials" store of android. Then it is listed under the Users-Tab. The expected behavior would be, that the Browser now trusts the all the self signed certificates from that CA. This worked many years, however this is not the case any more. Now I get warnings in Firefox under Android, that the intranet sites are not providing a secure connection. (Secure connection failed, Accept the risk and continue)

Using Firefox on an actual desktop pc however works, the certificates are still trusted, the connection is shown as secure.

I wonder what has happened to the Android browser version. Is it a bug or is it a feature?

Btw, googles chrome also doesn't accept the certificate any more, also says insecure connection. And on Desktop, they also work.

I'm not questioning that it works on desktops. Thats's why I made all the effort to set up a local CA, to have a secure connections within my intranet. I just wonder why it doesn't work on mobile phones any more.

Best regards Ben

Hi everyone,

As we spend more time online, I'm interested in ways to improve my online privacy and security. What are some essential tips and tools you recommend for protecting personal information while browsing?

Are there specific settings to adjust on devices or browsers? What security tools or software do you find most effective? How can I manage cookies and trackers without compromising my browsing experience?

I'm curious about the current state of Web Speech API. This is a W3C specification that was implemented in both Firefox and Chrome and includes Automatic Speech Recognition.

There is a demo page at https://mdn.github.io/dom-examples/web-speech-api/speech-color-changer/

To use this in Firefox, I have to change two settings in about:config to True: media.webspeech.recognition.enable media.webspeech.recognition.force_enable

There used to be a setting that could be used to set a specific endpoint for the actual STT processing, but that doesn't show up in my list of settings anymore. I guess I could add it, but have no idea if it would be respected by the browser or what the endpoint should look like. Anyway, whatever endpoint Firefox is currently using does not seem to be working anymore, so I just get an "Error occurred in recognition: network" error.

In Chrome it works, but most likely is sending my raw audio to Google Cloud STT to do the actual transcribing. I'd like to be able to control the endpoint so I can use a local service connected to VOSK or Whisper or some other locally hosted STT engine.

I'm thinking about implementing something using WebRTC, but if anyone is working along similar lines, I'd like to join that project rather than creating my own.

Is anyone working on this?

I have signed into my Firefox account on my parents computer in order to see my bookmarks & have saved passwords, etc easily found, signed into & used. Sync is off but after I sign out bookmarks & password still on this computer. I don't want to remove these bookmarks & passwords from my Firefox account on my home desktop or my phone - just from this one computer. Research I found say a Firefox account not for this "function" - but now that I've done it is there NO way to remove it & not have to start from scratch & thus lose all the saved data, extensions, etc.???
