Firefox Community Forum

Ever since Facebook started infesting the chats with end-to-end encryption (random chats get "Messenger upgraded the security of this chat. Messages and calls are secured with end-to-end encryption" without my permission or asking if I want this), any encrypted chats have audio and video calls disabled. I note that I have ONE friend for whom it didn't do this, I can still do calls with her. If I receive a call, I get a pop-up saying that to receive this call I must download the Messenger app (no way) or a browser which supports it. If I check what browsers it thinks supports this, it only lists Chrome and Edge. As far as I know Edge is just Internet Explorer renamed, the biggest black hole in security, I've never touched it. Chrome ignores industry standards, so I don't use it. Making Firefox the best, top browser available. It's the only browser I wish to use. Mozilla needs to look into how to get Facebook to stop blacklisting Firefox like this. Note that this E2EE garbage has only been infecting things for the last few months, before that I was perfectly able to do any calls I wished in Facebook Messenger.

I lost power today and when I had it restored, had a message that the Firefox versions were incompatible (I think it got interrupted during an update. Anyway, no internet access through Firefox, so I deleted Firefox thinking I could reinstall and all might be good. So far, not so good...

I was able to Google my way to install the extended release version of Firefox for dinosaurs but I lost all of my bookmarks. Is there a way to get this back? I would hate to start over finding the places I visit and also recalling old spreadsheets, documents, etc....

Any help would be appreciated.

One of the Firefox profiles does not save logins and passwords, but other profiles of the browser at that same computer have not that problem. How can I solve this problem ?

Firefox will not allow me to login to my mail a/c which I have had for more than 20 years. Because of this I cannot access a code to access my MS Outlook a/c This message shows:

'Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to webmail.mercuryin.es. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.' AND tells me that there is nothing I can do about this.

I enjoy sending and receiving messages using TextFree on all of my devices.

But after the previous two updates of FireFox on my Windows 7 64 bit PC (the last one was today). I get a generic page instead of my messaging page when I go to this link:

https://messages.textfree.us/login

The page still works fine under Chrome, so it's clearly something that the update of FireFox broke.

Any possible fix?

After the recent update I am no longer permitted to stream movies. How can I reverse this update, change it or will there be a patch to address this malfunction? I am not the only one that this has happened to. Every update changes my settings, I have learned to go back into settings and change back.

I cannot connect to any Starbuck's or McDonald's ISP, Public Connection. My computer will say I will have "internet access", but when you go to get enter any URL it will time out saying "no internet access". and yes, it always works fine with my home wifi. I'm using Firefox with windows 7. Thank You
