I download pictures frequently and have noticed an issue with Firefox. It appears that Firefox is accessing my files and replacing random pictures I had previously organized in my Pictures folder. Even though I declined the permission for Firefox to access my pictures, it somehow still reads my files and replacing them it likes to. How can I stop this behavior? It doesn’t happen with other browsers.

There is an easy way to replicate this issue on the Firefox release, beta, and nightly versions:

1. Download a picture.

2. Move the picture to any folder within the Pictures folder.

3. Redownload the same picture again.

4. Click "Open" directly and open in Google Photos.

5. Click the three dots in the top-right corner to confirm the file's location.

You will see that Firefox knows the new file location and opens it from there. This indicates that Firefox is accessing file information directly because the "Open" function wouldn’t work if a third-party app was responsible for managing it.

Cant believe these two issues are present for so long.

Issue 1 faced on both desktop and mobile: If I go from one site to another, the previous site is able to embed tracker in it. Example: 1) Go to territorial.io . 2) through the ublock origin extension, see that there are no trackers or connection to third party. 3) now go to reddit.com . 4) In url type territorial.io and press enter. now check ublock and notice that reddit tracker is there. 5) Most concerning is that even search engine does that. for example go to duckduckgo and type territorial. click on the link and the duckduckgo tracker will be there. The "privacy respecting" search engine embeds its tracker to a shit ton of websites clicked through it. Not an expert but doesn't this violate something like same origin policy?

Issue 2 faced at least on mobile: private browsing means all cookie and stuff is deleted when the private session is closed, but: for example: 1) go to private mode. 2) go to monkeytype.com. 3) reject or accept the cookie. 4) close the browser. now it should be wiped but 5) open browser (private tab opens by default) 6) go to monkeytype.com again. a lot of times it will not ask for the cookie banner. 7) close the browser and go there again. 8) now it will ask again. I have noticed similar behavior in a lot of websites, where they remember who I am. But as soon as I open the browser and close it once, the cookie/session is truly wiped. This does not happen every time, but a loooot of time.

Thank you.

P.S. why the hell is this website using googletagmanager and sentry??? use something like https://plausible.io/ if you have to. sentry themselves use https://plausible.io/

Why does Firefox for Android not have a better tab view on larger screens. I want to be able to easily switch between tabs on a large screen. I have the Tab S10 Ultra. I have been using Samsung Internet on my tablet as it looks like a browser on a computer with the large screen, but I want to use Firefox, but it needs to be easier to use on a large screen Android.

I have several collections in Firefox on my old phone, things I use regularly. It's the only way to save websites on the phone, so I assumed this would sync to my new phone.

I can see an archived thread about this from 2022, is it really not possible to sync these? It seems bizarre to offer the capability to bookmark sites, but not allow it to live with you.

Will it ever be possible? Or should I stop relying on this feature? The main collection I use frequently is one for recipes.

How can I remove "Firefox suggests" URLs from the address/search bar on Android? I found the help article "Firefox Suggest for Mobile" (last updated 4/22/24) but when I follow its directions, I only see the first 3 toggleable options. "Suggestions from Firefox" and "Suggestions from sponsors" don't appear at all. The suggested URLs are frequently sites I have never been to and never want to go to, and their appearance is extremely irritating. Attached is a screenshot of the settings page as it appears to me, with only 3 options.
