Dailymotion won't let me watch movies as it says I'm using an ad blocker. I don't remember using an ad blocker, nor can I figure out how to disable it.

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!

Firefox 129.0.2 (64-bit) Mozilla Firefox Snap for Ubuntu canonical-002 - 1.0
Running on kubuntu Linux 24.04, kernel version 6.8.0-41-generic (64-bit) KDE Plasma Version 5.27.11 Qt Version 5.15.13
I've posted a description of my problem on the kubuntu forums: https://www.kubuntuforums.net/forum/newbie-support/help-the-new-guy/681835-firefox-eating-up-a-lot-of-cpu
Here is a synopsis of my posts on that thread to distill the most noteworthy symptoms:
I have snap Firefox installed.
$ snap list Name Version Rev Tracking Publisher Notes bare 1.0 5 latest/stable canonical✓ base core22 20240731 1564 latest/stable canonical✓ base firefox 129.0.2-1 4793 latest/stable mozilla✓ - firmware-updater 0+git.5007558 127 latest/stable/… canonical✓ - gnome-42-2204 0+git.510a601 176 latest/stable/… canonical✓ - gtk-common-themes 0.1-81-g442e511 1535 latest/stable/… canonical✓ - snapd 2.63 21759 latest/stable canonical✓ snapd thunderbird 128.1.0esr-1 507 latest/stable/… canonical✓ - $
If I start firefox from the shell command line, it runs fine. It runs the shell script in /usr/bin/firefox, which ultimately executes /snap/bin/firefox. Clearly that shell script is doing some configuration that I don't understand.
If I hit Alt-space I see the menu in the referenced screen grab (see attached).
If I select the first entry, to run firefox from the command line, it has the same effect as starting /usr/bin/firefox from a bash shell; it works fine. However, if I select the third entry, firefox does not play any video; I've mostly tested with YouTube videos that have actual video and audio.
I'm not sure what gets executed when I select the third option from the Alt-space menu. It appears from doing a "ps -ef" that it's the same /snap/firefox/... executable. But I'm wondering why is this entry in the Alt-space menu and how does it get initialized or 'configured' to run.
Additionally, if I do start firefox from the entry with the firefox browser icon, and it fails to play video, I must then uninstall firefox using snap and then reinstall in order to get video playback to work. That is, after a failed start, simply exiting firefox and restarting it from the shell command line will not work; firefox will not play video correctly at all.
I also noticed that on my PC desktop, "snap list" lists firefox as "firefox 129.0.2-1 4793 latest/stable mozilla✓ -"
But on my old Lenova laptop running the same kubuntu version, "snap list" lists firefox as "firefox 129.0.2-1 4757 latest/stable mozilla✓ -"
I'm up to date on both systems via "sudo apt update"' and "sudo apt upgrade"
Even more frustrating, today, for the first time, despite starting firefox from the command line, video still didn't play. I had to uninstall firefox and reinstall it.

Hi, I try to visit my website ahsapsaksi.com. When I visit on firefox(Desktop and ios). I see the isimtescil template which is the old version of the website. However when I access from another browser like opera I see the updated website(welcome to acme page) only with VPN connection. I tried to delete cookies, visited in private tab etc., however I couldn't manage to see my updated website in firefox(in both desktop and ios).
Can you help me please?
Now a new update. When I visit the website on firefox with VPN connection, I saw the updated version, and from now on I cannot see the website without the VPN at all. I dont understand what is going on. But I tried to clear that cookie many times. Now it looks like the cookie is deleted not by deleting in the settings but using VPN. Now the problem is I cannot visit the website without VPN. Can you explain my experience? why did it happen?

I am writing this in Chrome on my old Win 7 HP laptop. There are no problems there. Microsoft should have just ended with Win 7, their only working OS. This is a big old laptop, heavy with a 17" screen, fragile, nonworking touchpad and with dying battery. For traveling I actually use a newer laptop - Dell XPS 13, light, sturdy, bright screen, long life battery, tiny... That came with Windows 10 initially and upgraded to Windows 11 later. I used Chrome for browsing initially just like on this laptop. At some point (I don't know whether this happened after Win 11 upgrade, I just didn't pay close intention to what Windows are doing behind my back) I just could not log on to Facebook in Chrome on Dell. Nobody is out there to help. Neither at FB, nor at Google, neither at Microsoft. Everything else worked fine. Before my travel to Europe this summer, I uninstalled Chrome and installed Firefox instead on the Dell. I carried over all my Google passwords. And everything worked fine, including Facebook. The trip to Europe went fine. Firefox performed great. Now a week back in the States, suddenly yesterday morning, out of the blue, without me doing anything to cause that (the day before I shut the lid, and everything worked fine), all hell breaks lose: I can't open a single page in Firefox - yet my WiFi connection is fine, and other devices work fine. Firefox opens the home page but nothing else, when I click on troubleshoot, my WiFi connection is suddenly dropped and I have to reconnect. I don't have Chrome on Dell, but I do have Edge, so I checked Edge: Edge opens some pages immediately, some pages only after I ask it repeatedly, all much slower and more laborious then it should be. So, while it did not lose functionality altogether like Firefox, I would say it is also not operating properly. But Skype, email software, printer connection - they work fine. Some satanic force entered the computer overnight and destroyed browser functionality. And I reseted everything and rebooted and restarted and deleted cookies, all the usual crap they tell us to hide what is really going on (some screw up or intentional sabotage in the code). There are no proxies. Firewall on or off does not matter. List of Windows updated shows the last one on 8/14, and for 10 days there was no problems. I fiddled with command prompt: sfc/scannow says everything is ok, malwarebytes say computer is clean, Edge improved after netsh winsock reset, but Firefox did not, I sent a request for tech support to Dell, but this can't be a hardware issue, it is most probably some software security bullshit issue that happened behind my back and that now requires someone with PhD in programming to figure out and solve. I am totally exhausted and very unhappy with the situation.

This message is to inform you that my email is being leaked from my Firefox browser, in hopes that Mozilla will provide a fix ASAP (if it hasn’t already done so in the latest version?). This leak was made known to me after visiting several websites (sites I've visited previously and sites I’ve NEVER visited before!), where I will receive an email very shortly, if not immediately after visiting and closing the browser tab for the website. (These are legitimate sites that are selling a product and, typically, very politely asking if I need more information, etc. ).
After noticing this, I got in the habit of clearing Firefox memory frequently, if not after every site I visit; but especially when my email is required to login. However, today I just notice that my email address is “permanently” located within the Firefox browser; and have to wonder if this could be how websites are getting my email… The email is located in the Firefox addon Video DownloadHelper app. The Companion App within Video DownloadHelper requires a payment, license #, and email to install. And, when looking thru its new menu today, I noticed my email (the same one I get messages from after visiting sites) is right there within the Video DownloadHelper menu (click on VDH icon, click on gear icon, click on More settings…).
So, I don’t know for certain whether my email is being compromised after logging in to a website and not immediately clearing memory after leaving the website OR if the compromise is from the Companion App within the Firefox Video DownloadHelper app, OR possibly both(?). If it is being leaked from Video DownloadHelper, I would greatly appreciate it if Mozilla would implore upon the VDH crew to remove it from the app.
And, if you can, I would greatly appreciate an email letting me know if/when this has been fixed! Thanks! Regards, Dave

I've been experiencing issues with my firefox browser (most updated version 129.0.2, running on Mac Sonoma 14.6.1). Seemingly at random times, it decides to start displaying weird symbols all over. The settings, the menu, the text on webpages, it all reverts to these weird symbols. Restarting the app and my laptop works sometimes, but only for a little bit of time then a day or two later this starts to happen again. I've tried to look at other help articles but it doesn't seem to be a font thing, it's becoming really frustrating and I hope there's an easy fix otherwise I won't be able to keep using this browser as I share my screen for work often.

I have been having problems logging into Spectrum's website on my computer. I can login to the website using another browser. I have contacted Spectrum, they went over my entire account and stated that everything is working like it should. The person said to contact Firefox and have them check my account for any blocks. I can access any website and login without a problem using Firefox but Spectrum. Can you please help me. I really like Firefox as my browser and don't want to have to switch. Thank you.

The autofill function works great for forms and applications but not so much when I'm entering online contests. When they ask me for my TikTok, Instagram, or Twitter username, it will not autofill those. I always have to do it myself in FireFox. But Microsoft Edge doesn't have that problem. Why doesn't it remember what I type in for those types of entries?
