By catching these grubie pests this has been happening for over 2or 3 years now. Absolutely has destroyed my online experience. I have no confidence in any technology providers what so ever. Turns out to probably be the best way to eliminate anonymously and permanently internet pests.

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

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?

You might have cookies blocked or cross-site tracking prevented. Depending on what browser you're using, check your settings for these terms:

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.

Hi,

we found such an oddity. We use a PGP key linked to the mageo.cz domain (the key is for addresses <somebody>@mageo.cz). Recently, importing a key in Thunderbird takes a very long time (the search on the keyserver is unreasonably long (tens of seconds) both when the key exists and when it does not exist). It seems to be some kind of anomaly only for this domain. For other domains, searching/importing the key is fast. A direct inquiry (through the www interface of the Hagrid keyserver) is dealt with promptly. The problem concerns only the search for the key via Thunderbird and only the mageo.cz domain

Thanks for the check/fix! Mira Krejci

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.
