I feel a bit silly asking this but no matter what I do, I can't load the Mozilla add-on page in Ironfox. I'm on a Pixel 8a, up to date Android, and I have changed every setting I can find in Ironfox and it simply will not load. I can get to the extension page in settings but when I click the purple button it goes to the browser and stalls. Even if I put in the base Mozilla address it stalls.
I'm just trying to install Privacy Badger!
I'd really appreciate if anyone could suggest anything that might help.
Thanks!
Fuck, this was it! Thank you so much.
I use Tracker Control. It didnt occur to me that this could be the issue because when you open any browser entry in TC, it says in big writing "Browsers Not Supported". So I generally ignore it whentheres a browser issue, however, despite the message it does still have an impact on browsers, so that message is a bit confusing.
As soon as I turned it off, the page loaded. This has however opened another can of worms that I will start a new thread about. Ironfox has a lot of trackers. Way more than most apps I have seen.
TC says it has contacted 14 companies this week! Theres three screens worth of trackers listed, one of which is addons.mozilla.org which is now allowed. Won't let me upload the screenshots for some reason but I'll try later.
Thanks for your eagle eye wesker and taking the time to respond. ๐๐ผ
Keep in mind that trackers detected from browsers are usually not from the browser themselves, but moreso from the websites you visit through the browser.
Yeah good point also, thank you!
It seems you forgot about this since you made a post about it today lol
Well not quite, it was in that post when figuring out that issue that I spotted all these entries, hence making this thread.
