Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

Looks like the cookie banner blocker, originally scheduled for Firefox 114, didn’t make it into today’s Firefox 115 either. Brave and DuckDuckGo already block cookie banners.

For Firefox, we need to rely on uBlock Origin. Unfortunately, there’s no uBlock Origin for Firefox on iOS.

As far as I can tell, you can set cookiebanners.service.mode and cookiebanners.service.mode.privateBrowsing to 1 to enable the feature as far back as 114. There may be fixes in future versions, so check there before reporting bugs.

PS: You can follow the bug at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1800679 if you want to track the feature to release.

Whats the cookie banner blocker?

An upcoming Firefox feature that automatically rejects or accepts cookie banners for the user on as many websites as possible.
