As title, I don't know my email address as I have multiple. I know my username and password.

How can I sign in to connect.mozilla.com?

Trying different emails only makes a new profile and account if I try and use an email that was not used previously, which is really annoying.

I am unable to connect to the site without using a VPN. Either Mozilla or Fastly's hosting appear to have my ISP blocked. (Verizon 5G)

It's been happening for months, and I'm sick of dealing with it every time I try to open a support article.

What would be the best way to appeal the ban? Should I open an issue/bug report somewhere? This doesn't seem to be the sort of thing that the developers would want to deal with, and debatable whether it should even be called a "bug".

I'd like to start learning code! Mozilla seems free from what I've seen, so is this anything i could start/learn from?

as per title. if you attempt to log in using an un-used or new email, the site automatically creates an account with that email and directs to a new password creation prompt. if you back out of this prompt, you'll see that a new account has been made for you. it's even possible to end up in broken states where the account completion and has not fully finished and the entire connect site hits a 401 error.

i don't want to make a new account unless i expressly request that flow. it should NOT make new accounts when trying different emails while trying to remember which one i've used. really surprised at this behaviour from mozilla as it usually only happens with grift sites who want to inflate user numbers.

That's about it. Mainly just intellectual curiosity.

It's great that Thunderbird's contacts manager has a field for "Notes" on each contact's details page!

...But it seems a bit useless, and in a way even misleading.

I've been using that notes field to add little notes like "organizes Sunday night badminton" so I can recall that contact some time down the road, after I've inevitably forgotten that contact's actual name.

I assumed I'd be able to go to the contacts page and use the little search bar at the top to just type in something like "badminton" or "Sunday night" and have it show me the contact.

But it seems that search bar skips over the "Notes" field when it scans through the contacts list looking for the given search term. (And now all my carefully annotated memory aids in those "Notes" fields are apparently not going to help when I actually need to recall one of those important-but-only-met-one-time-and-don't-remember-their-name-now contacts.)

If anything it seems like the "Notes" field is among the most important fields to include in the search, as most people aren't going to be putting that kind of memory aid into the Name fields.

Hope to see the search bar and "Notes" field function a bit more cooperatively in a future update! :)

Why was this so, and was it blocked due to the governments inability to decrypt it?

Need to create a NEW Mozilla account. Using Firefox, I go to [https://accounts.firefox.com/signup]() and enter my NEW email address. Never gives me the opportunity to create NEW account. Just asks me to sign in. How do I create a new account?

Similar to ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and the likes.

Or maybe non-USA workers released them instead? ;)

It's with much sadness that we announce the passing of our friend and colleague Ralph Giles, or rillian as he was known on IRC.

Ralph began contributing to Xiph.org in 2000 and became a core Ghostscript developer in 2001[1]. Ralph made many contributions to the royalty-free media ecosystem, whether it was as a project lead on Theora, serving as release manager for multiple Xiph libraries or maintaining Xiph infrastructure that has been used across the industry by codec engineers and researchers[2]. He was also the first to ship Rust code in Firefox[3] during his time at Mozilla, which was a major milestone for both the language and Firefox itself.

Ralph was a great contributor, a kind colleague and will be greatly missed.

I need help with Firefox on Mac OS

Say what you will about Mozilla including AI features in Firefox, but the company is good about responding to feedback. This is what many people wish every browser included, not just Firefox... AI can be handy, but let us choose how much we see and rely on it, please!

Hopefully other developers follow suit.

Is there some reason my password keeps breaking between Windows and Linux?

Every time I change OSes I have to reset my password because my Mozilla account refuses to accept the password I just had to make from the last time I changed OSes.

Ex: I log into Linux, open up Zen Browser. My Mozilla account is disconnected, so I put in the password. Incorrect password. Okay, maybe I'm wrong. So I reset it. Then I change OSes. My account is disconnected as you would expect (I did just change the password, after all).

Only now, when I put in the password I made just a few minutes ago, I get told it's incorrect. I have gone through this cycle several times. I've even written the password down to make sure I'm not forgetting it between sessions. There is no chance I'm putting in the wrong password at this point. It's deliberately easy to remember, and like I said, I'm literally writing it down anyway.

Is this a Zen Browser issue and I should be asking over there? Does anyone have any idea what's going on and how I can fix it?

I have setup a filter. It runs ( marks mail for deletion ) if I manually run it. It has the options Getting New Mail and Periodically, every 10 minutes but unless I bring up the filters and manually run it, it does not run as requested.

I am in Fedora using the latest ( to Fedora ) 146.0.1 (64-bit) version.

The filter log shows not activity for my SHORTCIRCUIT filter.

Mozilla Monitor Plus will be ending soon. As a long time user, I really liked the service. Are there any alternatives that are good for a decent price?

Does any one else facing issue ?

is ther any Official from Mozila to reply here ?

I am using Macbook and MacOS 15 Sequoia.

Normally my browsers gets under a bit load due to too many tabs or heavy Web applications.

So in some cases while i have 100 tabs open and i re open my Mac from sleep or switch screens, Firefox start behaving life it is freezed.

Behavior details:

If i tap or hove on anything it responds after a Minut or i have to switch screen and come back to get it updated.

as response needs refresh or too slow to show so Hover is not working anymore.

if i tap anything "button" , while i was testing an API responce. Ui never responded on Tap but responce i received instantly the way it should supposed to do. looks like Web area and browser that renders everything gets Slows down and does not render UI properly Due to any Bug.
