After taking the latest update to Mac OS 15.0 - Sequoia I am not able to pull up any resources on my home network. I'm not sure if it was just added in this latest version, but there appears to be a privacy setting under Settings > Privacy and Security > Local Network that is likely the culprit I've discovered after testing another browser (MS Edge) that was having the same issue. The only issue for me is Firefox doesn't show as an app on that list for me to enable the setting so I can work with my local resources. Hoping someone can help.

I have been assiduously marking all the junk and non-junk items coming into my junk mailbox for over a month. The situation was better, the volume of junk mail was decreasing by half every two weeks. Now it is rising again to pre-thunderbird levels. Has something happened to the junk mail filter to stop it from working? Why does it take so long to identify junk. The same words keep appearing: debt, lawn, lawyer, cancer, zantac, loans, credit, glasses, frames, windows, insurance, fitness. If I can spot these why can't a the filter. Honestly, this spammer is driving me nuts. My account is with hotmail.com.

I don't care about the 'security' of my Firefox account, so why do I NEED two-factor authentication? I don't want to do that. Then I could switch to Google right away. So why are you FORCING people to switch browsers if they don't want to comply? Because I'd rather do that than enable two-factor authentication for such useless accounts

There are websites that I go on that require verification codes. After entering the code I check the box to remember this device. So then the next time I go on the website I would not have to deal with a verification code. I've used Firefox for years and had no problem with the browser not remembering an approved website but now I'm experiencing this problem.

I'm using Firefox v115.15.0esr because I'm using Windows 7. I'm in the UK. Every now and then I get to a website which asks about cookies permissions and then proceeds to give me a huge list, hundreds of alleged companies which have a "legitimate interest" in me having their cookie, which I have to individually search through and deselect. Is there a way around this please? Does firefox ignore/prevent the cookies under the "Enhanced Tracking Protection" policy? or by accepting them do I still get them? I have ticked "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" so am I correct to assume that all cookies that make it to my PC get erased anyway when I close the browser?

I may have inadvertently changed some Firefox security setting, but don't know which one. Or, as likely, due to a recent Firefox update. I try to keep up-to-date.

Hello, I use NextDNS for DNS over HTTPS in Firefox and I have set it up accordingly. Every so often Firefox will randomly revert back to using Quad9 instead of NextDNS without any intervention from me and I then have to go back in and set up NextDNS again which is quite frustrating, does anyone know why this might be happening?
