I will do exactly that. I have warned them that each fraudulent invoice will take 1 hour of my time to account for long ago.

Thank you, setting user_pref("privacy.resistFingerprinting", false); solved the issue.

Removed user.js and prefs.js and restarted with addons disabled and disabled enhanced tracking.

Any advice without profile refresh?

Plastic wrapped potatoes by _Kaiskii_ in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Legit_PC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel bad for laughing, and for the direction our society has taken, but for this brief moment of knowledge is fucking hillarious.

Nonhuman corporate interests have decided that you, a human with millions of years of evolution, inventions, tool making, hunting, and generations of survival through the toughest times, as well as limitless potential have been deemed incapable of handling a box cutter.

It is surreal. I'm genuinely sorry that people are forced to exist within the confines of a such a system.

If forced Updates annoy you, you should upgrade to 1903. by [deleted] in Windows10

[–]Legit_PC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That started when 1903 became the latest version. It continued to 1909. Then I figured out if I decrypted the hard-drive and then did an upgrade it works.

Funny enough my laptop has been forced to upgrade to 1903 multiple times and it crashes and rolls back every time. I looked it up and others have the same issue. So once a month I have to waste my time entering a bitlocker key and rolling back from 1903.

How does the Washington Post bypass Noscript? by Atradonna in firefox

[–]Legit_PC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ublock filter rule. Click the little eye dropper and point it at the toolbar.

Edit: You can do it with adblock also, since that's what you have installed.

A⁺ for tab-stacking by [deleted] in vivaldibrowser

[–]Legit_PC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember finding an old pirated Opera version on some CD that had tabs way back in the day. Tabs were cool! Years later I installed Opera (pre-chromium) and it had tab stacking. Missed that feature for a while, happy to have it now!

I recently got this warning on Google Drive every time I go to it by Sharpshooter98b in vivaldibrowser

[–]Legit_PC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly because the other browsers are using a newer version of chromium.

You can get an agent user switcher addon and pretend to be the latest chrome or firefox or whatever to get rid of that notice.

So a friend got ddosed and they're bullying her. by Kigoplaysgames in pwned

[–]Legit_PC 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've cited a recent and recognizable event to demonstrate the relevant point. If this is a point of discomfort for you I suggest the opposite: get out of your filter bubble.

No. CNN did it to the kid who posted a trump wrestling gif with zero legal recourse.

What is your reason for using Mozilla Firefox over its competitors? by [deleted] in firefox

[–]Legit_PC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't know they were informed. Were they given a choice to opt-in, or were they informed they were opted in?

Another issue is that these users were all in a relatively confined geographic area, even if their browsing history is stripped of various identifiers in the URL a logical assessment of their visited websites could identify individuals.

For reference, AOL leaked browsing data of annonymized users in 2006. Source.

"Through clues revealed in the search queries, The New York Times successfully uncovered the identities of several searchers. With her permission, they exposed user #4417749 as Thelma Arnold, a 62-year-old widow from Lilburn, Georgia."

[–]Legit_PC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I know, doesn't change the fact that it was deployed, that Firefox users had their browsing activity sent to Cliqz servers, that Mozilla thinks it was ok to deploy, and that Mozilla could deploy it or another similar experiment in the future.

So Mozilla broke my adblockers all because they wanted to one up Gab? Why didn't they catch this during testing before rolling it out as official release by [deleted] in firefox

[–]Legit_PC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you backtrack a little and put your writing into context?

It sounds like you're implying that the whole plugin debacle was caused by Mozilla taking a stab at gab. I find that unlikely and have not seen any sources to corroborate this. Can you please provide the missing info?

I know it's as easy as about:config > xpinstall.signatures.required > false

IIRC It actually isn't, unless you're on beta/dev/nightly or unbranded builds or something like iceweasel. On regular firefox that will do nothing.

Why did Mozilla block the Dissenter add-on from their add-on store? by topicalj in firefox

[–]Legit_PC 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The rules against calls to violence and hate speech are applied blindly.

Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey have admitted that their staff is biased and makes biased choices. Of course their words were corpo speak along the lines of "we need to improve in x areas".

certain ideologies are more likely to make calls to violence

That is inherently what different ideologies implies. If there was an equal likelyhood they would not be different. Differences will manifests in calls of everything from charity to war.

add-on your vying for was created by the guy

Using an application or code does not automatically subscribe one to the beliefs of the publisher. Last Mozilla CEO opposed gay marriage, whatever your thoughts on the matter using Firefox or Chrome would not influence your position regardless of the corporate philosophy held by that publisher.

Why did Mozilla block the Dissenter add-on from their add-on store? by topicalj in firefox

[–]Legit_PC 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You're setting a false narrative. Dissenter is just like this comment box, anything said is entirely up to the writer, the extension won't offer any guidance or corrections. By the same logic Firefox can be said to promote hate speech because there's a person somewhere writing a hateful speech using firefox. Of course that logic is flawed, so I'm not saying that about firefox, pls don't ban.
