Hello I m writting behalf on my colleague. His name is <redacted>.

His email address is <redacted>

He got mail regarding someone has access his email and knows about every secret detail.

When he tries to change his password, the backup email address shows wrong. Setted by the hacker.

Can you get in contact with <redacted> to save his account in above.

Why did I have to use Google to be able to access my Thunderbird account? I don't see that as protecting my privacy. Admittedly I haven't previously updated my Thunderbird password as often as I should but I don't see why it couldn't be used to enable Thunderbird on my new computer.

Hi again,

so, in my other question I was reminded about Browserleaks and while I was there testing TLS I also tested Canvas and it said 100% unique which I was surprised because I have the Enhance Protection in FF in "Custom" with both fingerprinting options selected and in "in all windows", plus CanvasBlocker.

100% unique is not good, right? That's what I thought at first. But then I remembered, CanvasBlocker rotates settings all the time, so even if my fingerprint is 100% unique it's also changing all the time which means "they" can't identify me (supposedly). Then I also thought "actually it might be better than not 100% unique because in that case I might have more issues with websites thinking that it's someone else trying to access my account". But then I thought "although if it's 100% unique changing all the time it's also like if it was a different person".

I deactivated CanvasBlocker and tested again and it was also 100% unique. Then I reactivated CanvasBlocker and I deactivated FF's anti-fingerprint. Again 100% unique. In other words, I don't see a way to see what is the difference between using CanvasBlocker on top of the native FF anti-fingerprint. That's where you can help :)

So, questions.

1) can you tell me what exactly does FF block about fingerprinting? And, does it rotate settings like CanvasBlocker so that this "100% unique" is not actually a real issue because it's different every time? Or is it a bad kind of 100% unique in that case?

2) what would create less issues of websites thinking that I am not me? A rotating 100% unique, or a not 100% unique (in which case, how to I achieve that, considering that neither CanvasBlocker nor FF's anti-fingerprint nor both together can do that?).

Would you say that having a VPN with own DNS which block tracking on a domain level, plus AdGuard with all possible filters, plus FF's Enhanced Protection in "Custom" with all at max, plus CanvasBlocker, is a good combo? Or what could I improve to reach a good balance of not being tracked/fingerprinted, not being blocked "because I am not me", reasonably light resources usage, and reasonable browsing speeds?

I used uBlock Origin previously because it's lighter on resources and it triggers my laptop's fans much less than AdGuard but it doesn't block (not even with element picker) some annoying things of websites that I visit often. In case you wanted to recommend that :)

Thanks!

Hi!

First of all, mods, if I chose the wrong category and this had to go in "customize settings and preferences" feel free to move it :)

So, for several reasons I decided to completely disable SSL and the old TLS 1.0 and 1.1. I still didn't decide if TLS 1.2 is still important or it's enough with 1.3 so for now I am leaving them both. I did this system wide, with PowerShell, following the instructions in THIS THIS article.

But then there's Firefox. I don't know if Firefox can establish SSL (or old TLS) connections despite the system "ban". But I came across THIS THIS article about how to enable TLS 1.3 in Firefox and when I went in about:config and I typed "security" I saw that there are a lot of voices with SSL and a lot more about TLS than just the security.tls.version.max mentioned in that article, so I am here to ask you what to do to be 1000% sure that all SSL and older TLS are completely disabled in Firefox, and that only TLS 1.3 is enabled.

If you have reasons to believe that disabling TLS 1.2 is not a good idea, let me know, but in THIS THIS article I've read that 1.3 is much better and it's anyway backwards compatible with 1.2 in case some server only supports 1.2, so I decided to leave only 1.3.

Thanks!

I cant get rid of this unsolicited "sign in with google" prompt which has cost me untold lost time having to type things over because it pops up when im looking at the keyboard while typing , getting noplace ! It is deliberate harassment !

I DO NOT HAVE ANY GOOGLE ACCOUNT AND WILL NEVER HAVE A GOOGLE ACCOUNT .

Therefore I can't sign in using any google account ! Why then do I get this trash ? All the recommended ways to shut it off don't work ! They all talk about going to google account settings ! As I've said , I do not have any google account ! Therefore I can't go to any settings ! I can't get rid of this unwanted harassment !

I want to get rid of this garbage and never want it to come back after any BS "updates"

Ok, so first everyone needs to know I love Firefox, I have never donated a cent to Firefox. I think I have burned by FIREFOX MOZILLA HOW? I am not sure, because I am not an expert as all of you, but: I uninstalled Firefox because my iPad kept freezing and does not move on my iPad and all my four phones. While reinstalling Firefox, I see that one of their products called Monitor said my accounts have been compromised about 700+ instances. Then I proceed to find out how my accounts and private data was compromised? Well when I saw the list, you can imagine how long IT IS??? well, I was given a choice do it by paying $8+ a month/yearly and or manual; so what is the question how my addresses got compromised if I only use Firefox, Isn’t Firefox the self appointed SUPER GREAT BROWSER AND ADVOCATE FOR SECURITY AND INTERNET USER RIGHTS AND SO ON? Well again I am not an expert, but what I’m am so FXXXXXG burning stupidity it is that when I attempted to use the service, the FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS OF SECURITY your FUL NAME, YOUR DATE OF BIRTH, YOUR CITY AND STATE. Well, I am sorry today I lost flight on this browser, back to Safari, I guess. LIKE AN STUPID IDIOT I GAVE MY FULL NAME, MY DATE OF BIRTH, MY CITY, MY STATE TO FIREFOX/MOZILLA. NOW FIREFOX MOZILLA HAS ME BY MY BAXXS AND I FELT FOR IT. DO YOU WHY I HAVE NEVER GIVE A CENT TO FIREFOX, WITH ALL THE RESPECT ALL OF YOU DESERVE HIGH TECH, YES INCLUDING FIREFOX MOZILLA IS LIKE A POLITICIAN THAT BEGS FOR MONY AND SCREW YOU LATER. I AM MAD AS HELLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!

Hi there for 3 weeks I have been attempting to change my password. First Issue I login go to setting, change password, add old one, create new one and save. Logout of browser and restart, attempt to login using new password but no success. Use old password successful.

Second Issue Firefox is preventing the login to some of my systems by showing and invalid capture response.

URGENT PLEASE ASSIST

There was a 1-3 second power failure today that crashed my desktop computer but the UPS maintained power to the fiber modem and mesh router, so my internet connection to the house was maintained. I restarted the desktop and launched Firefox. It proceeded to open all the tabs which had been open which is good. BUT it was very troubling that my log-in to my Investment Brokerage account was maintained and it did not request a Log-in Account Name and Password. A 2nd web account also maintained its log-in; so this is not specific to my brokerage. I have Firefox set up to NEVER save passwords; I use a separate Password Manager set up NOT to autofill account names and passwords.

Was this because the the UPS maintained the internet connection (for the 1-2 minute restart) while Firefox crashed and did not EXIT? Is there any setting I can make to prevent this from happening?

I keep getting a virus alert when in Firefox. I have scanned with every known scanner and Mcafee, with nothing found. BUT it keeps popping up as an alert. I get no alerts when in Microsoft explorer. HELP!!!

We use ESR due to its stability and long term security updates, and we use Duo as our SSO/IDP.

We have Duo set to deny login when the browser is more than 6 mo out of date, but due to the way FF reports only the main version number via the user agent Duo is unable to determine that FF ESR is actually up to date and thinks that it's too old and my users are being denied login or getting an erroneous message about needing to update their browser.

Is there a way to set FF to report it's whole version to Duo? We would prefer not to have to "outlaw" FF in our prod environment if at all possible.

Sponsored Suggestion on the home page sucks. I don't find a way to remove it on 115.13.0esr (64-bit). I'm sad to see this practice getting implemented in my favorite browser.

I want to use a fingerprint reader for login.gov and id.me but do not seem to be able to get my just added fingerprint reader to be usable by Firefox (129). It identifies in hardware as a CS9711Fingprint. Anyone have any input about this?
