Firefox Community Forum

I have used Firefox since it was Netscape, with an ad blocker if one was available. With version 128 I am seeing many, many, many ads where I used to see almost none. I have blocked popups but that's not as much help as you'd hope. I cannot find anythng like AdBlock+ or U Block. Are these no longer available? No longer recommended? I can tell you that they are sure still needed. Thanks.

So only on my FIre Fox, a window would pop-up (a window that looked like it was via the operating system) that was asking me for my NordVPN Username and Password. When I would push the "cancel" button, it would just keep popping up over and over, not letting me do anything else. So I would have to switch to a different browser, whereby that would not happen. Is this something that happens with FireFox?

I uninstalled Firefox and only use another browser now, but it is not happening anymore.

I was the victim of a ransomware attack, I knew who did it, but the police did nothing. I suspect those same persons are still trying to keep tabs on me to see if I am still trying to take some kind of action against them. I don't want to sound paranoid, but these people, who are known to me, destroyed my legal practice, so it is worthy to be paranoid.

Anyone know anything about these types of things?

I switched from google/Duckduckgo to Firefox/Duckduckgo because google has no respect for anyone's privacy and their search results have become pretty much useless. Now, I'm getting the same crappy, irrelevant search results in Firefox w/Duckduckgo that I get in google. Has google, in their unquenchable greed and constant quest for power, managed to somehow corrupt Firefox and Duckduckgo so that they can't get intelligent, relevant answers, either?

Does Firefox not have what is needed for some secure sites. If I have to change browser to access my bank I might as well change for everything - but I have always supported the mozilla community

My Apple desktop has been compromised by malware on my Firefox browser. HELP! Do I need to erase the history? Please respond asap: [edited] on 7.20.24 Thank you, Kat Franck

I have installed windows 11 23H2 to my pc and Firefox 128.0 (64-bit) and after re-installation that I made to my pc and installed Firefox, the Ctrl-shift-M does not working. A little research in google, drove me to refresh firefox, but the problem did not solved.

Any ideas of what I have to do to return this operation?

Thanks a lot.

FireFox 128.0 (64-bit) is back to being a memory hog until everything slows to a crawl. Some releases were better and some are worse. I like FireFox but I am having a hard time getting my work done. Switching between different items slows to a crawl.

I have had my laptop for years, and I have used firefox for years. Roughly, in the last 2-4 months, all the sudden, opening up new youtube webpages, tabs, videos, takes a while, 5-20sec to fully load a new page, and when I open a new youtube tab, my laptop fan starts spinning loudly, for ~20-30seconds. Once the page is loaded its fine again. Basically opening up a youtube page is slow, and its acting like its same as playing a modern video game on my computer which is ridiculous. I have edge installed, although I rarely use it, and it does not have this problem at all, its fast, and laptop fan does not spin.

Hello. How can I post HTML code snippets in support.mozilla.org questions ? All HTML code is rendered and none of the usual markdown (``` etc.) works.

Hi,

I downloaded geckodriver from https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases

but I would like to verify the integrity of the download. I tried to do this by running gpg --verify geckodriver-v0.34.0-linux-aarch64.tar.gz.asc geckodriver-v0.34.0-linux-aarch64.tar.gz but it looks like the key used to sign the release has not been imported on my system. Where can I find this key used to sign the geckodriver?

Kind Regards, Chandra
