I have used browser forever but finding that sites seem to no longer work. Example ICloud. I have to jump to Edge to use. Ideas?

A collegue came up to me and asked me how he could access ftp.mozilla.org via WinSCP and I was like, "just use anonymous mode" and he's like, "i did."

So I tried it and turns out it just...doesn't do a thing. In particular, he needed this: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/115.16.1esr/ - but downloading link by link is annoying, so he wanted to grab the whole folder.

I feel like I am missing something here...

Just use Mullvad directly with any WireGuard cliend of your choosing, and you'll be happier for it. Containers can still use custom proxy settings, so there's nothing exclusive about MozillaVPN except convenience. The lack of custom virtual interfaces is the biggest drawback for me.

I want to contribute to Mozilla, but I was surprised by the number of paid executives on their website Leadership page. The number of Vice Presidents is staggering! Do the Executives really earn their pay? Or do they just drag down the $$ given in contributions?

Can Mozilla please send their emails with links that actually go to the content?
(ps. It's a practice many companies employ, so maybe someone just has something interesting to write about the subject in general)
As a principal, I don't visit links that don't go anywhere meaningful.
And if it has a tracking Id added on, fine I just remove it.
But mozilla's updates that I am getting nowadays don't even do that, links they send me just go to a gibberish domain like clicks.mozilla.org/f/a/0218y21h91291b29e12enq9uxa8wxdwxnd21x21d9xnd189 etc..

It doesn't even give experienced web people the ability to find the webpage it's supposed to point you to.
Even just doing the good old URL parameter with an id instead of going to a completely different domain would allow people to at least see where the resource actually goes to.

I hope I am not alone in this practice.
There's stuff I've been sent that I'd be okay with interacting with, but not having the actual link without multiple redirects is stopping them from gaining my interactions.

I don't know why I keep downloading Pocket every 2 months and every time I'm amazed to see that it's absolutely useless.

I don't understand how Mozilla can be so disappointing and it pisses me off. The application seems frozen in 2012 and it's like they're trying to squeeze pennies out of everything, which means Pocket is no longer Pocket.

If you use it, can you tell me what it's for? I mean, I alternate between Instapaper, GoodLinks, Readwise Reader and Matter, and Pocket is the only one that can't save an article, every time it opens the web page in the built-in browser it's stupid!

Not to mention the times when it manages to scrape the article and format it badly. How on earth can a company as big as Mozilla be completely out of date with a little program that worked perfectly!

I use Firefox, I'm really trying to keep loving Mozilla, but the polemics that are building up around privacy, the more than dubious management around uBlock Origin Lite, the competition that is developing, Pocket...

If I hadn't known about Mozilla in the early 2000s, there's almost no chance I'd be using any of its services.

Has this been floated by Mozilla leadership of a Firefox as a Service? Unapologetic iOS and Firefox user here. Love Firefox on my Linux desktop, but ... yeah rough ride on iOS. So if Mozilla cannot launch the unabridged version of Firefox on iPhones and iPads, what about a paid service for Firefox as a Service I can access through Safari? If I can run a containerized version of Firefox as a paid service from Mozilla, that's something to pony up for. Add in a few more bundle options to spice up the value. I don't think it too crazy. I heard of worse ideas.

I would like to donate to Thunderbird without disclosing my home address and phone number.

I am able to do this for other shareware, such as LibreOffice, by using Paypal.

Anyone know how to do this? I have been freeloading for too long but bad things happen when I disclose my mailing address or phone #.

Hey, I have private and business Emails, and I would like them to be separate. Is there a way to make categories or something similar to separate/organize them?

I use network blocking requests on certain websites to block unwanted content. Works fine except that when I close Firefox, next time I open Firefox the blocking requests are gone. So I have to enter them all again. In Chrome browsers the blocking requests are remembered every time. How do I get Firefox to save the requests? (Ticked the 'persist logs' but that does nothing).

I wish the old UI from https://observatory.mozilla.org/ could remain on the new Observatory (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/observatory). It's so much nicer to read and to see.

I've added 2 screenshots for a side-by-side comparison. The older one is so beautiful, I love it.

I installed the Firefox-ios 128.3 in my iPhone.

How to configure the firefox to default to private mode when I open it ?

Does anyone know if these pop-ups are legitimate? I don't want to click on anything until I'm certain.

I was a bit surprised to see Mozilla on the list of WEF (World Economic Forum) partners, see https://www.weforum.org/organizations/mozilla-corporation/. How does this impact the way Mozilla is managed?

I am using Firefox on Linux.

And this is getting memory leaks when I play YouTube videos. I am not sure what is causing this, it does not happen on Windows or Ubuntu with the same addons. I have to use Chromium instead. How can I detect the cause of this issue? Would using about:memory and then loading a YouTube video troubleshoot the cause? Thanks.

In 2023, a significant portion of Firefox downloads came from unknown sources. We believe many of them came from 3rd party websites that let you download Firefox. While some websites are okay, others can put you at risk of downloading an old version or a build with the wrong locale, leading to security risks, a bad user experience, or even malicious installations.

Help the Firefox team to uncover this mystery by taking part in the Firefox 3rd-party installer campaign!

There will be swag, and you'll be featured in our blog if you manage to report 10 valid reports. So don’t forget to invite your friends too!

Hello everyone! I finally got sick of my Microsoft Outlook 2019 client on my Windows 11 PC “constantly” prompting passwords, especially with 6 accounts. I’m mean like every 30 seconds, even after putting in the ID and Password correctly.

Anyway, being a Firefox user I decided to try Thunderbird. Install great, added my accounts no problem. But, since I installed it, after launching it, it constantly stalls, unless I let it sit for like 5-10 min.

Is there anything I’m missing?

Has anyone tried live chatting in TikTok? I can't be the only person that can't get the cursor inside the textbox to chat in live streams. I've tested the other browsers and it works, but I don't like the other browsers. I got 2 different Linux boxes and a windows 10 with Firefox. All 3 have the same problem even without extensions.

Hi, I have webpage with information I want to revisit. It is stored in History folder. But if I open it from there, I can see the original page for an instant, and then it updated to the current online version of the page. The page I want to view is a confirmation of a form I sent in.

Is there a way to view the page without the instant update?
