    Earlier, the form was obscured, as Sampei Nihira said and as the attachment showed.
    Now, the form is shown correctly. That is with Firefox 127.0 snap, and Enhanced Tracking Protection enabled (custom settings, same as Strict).
    So, something must have changed.

    I still do not see the order form with tracking protection enabled.
    But I don't care to notify Mozilla of the problem, which can be easily fixed.

    Currently, I don't see the order form, either.
    I have no idea what changed. Not my settings.

    Oddly, there is no Firefox 127.0.2 snap version available, yet.
    Often, the snap version is released minutes after the release notes are available.
    Perhaps there was some miscommunication? Or perhaps the fixes in 127.0.2 weren't considered relevant to Linux users? Although, YouTube buffering bug 1878510 was reported as also affecting Linux users.
    Perhaps the snap version will be released later. Otherwise, the fix for the reported YouTube buffering issue will be in the next snap version.

    Well, the Choose which Firefox Browser to download in your language link shows that the new version is available for Linux 32-bit and 64-bit users. Not familiar with snap versions.

    Ah, thanks. So, one would expect a snap version as well.
    I have no idea how many persons are on the Firefox snap team, and if sickness or someone's vacation can mess things up. Or, as I said, if there may have been some miscommunication. Perhaps the snap version will be available later.

    Edit
    Sorry, I forgot. When I wrote, "Or perhaps the fixes in 127.0.2 weren't considered relevant to Linux users?" what I meant was the Firefox snap team's consideration. I don't know if the snap team has the freedom to decide to skip a certain version if it is considered not relevant to Linux users. If so, they may have overlooked the fact that bug 1878510 was reported as also affecting Linux users. But I'm speculating, which is of no use.

    Another thought regarding why there is no Firefox 127.0.2 snap version available, yet.
    I wrote, "YouTube buffering bug 1878510 was reported as also affecting Linux users."
    However, in the bug 1878510 thread, 'Linux' is hardly specified. I see one specific mention of Linux Mint; all other mentions are unspecified 'Linux', no distributions specified. If bug 1878510 affects Firefox on Linux Mint but not Linux distributions that utilize the Firefox snap version, the Firefox 127.0.2 snap version might be considered of no relevance. But again, I'm speculating.

    Hi Rasheed. It is likely you are not setting up the policy correctly. I never see any alerts related to updates. If you setup the policy correctly this is what you should see in Firefox settings>General:

    And this in About Firefox:

    Indeed, Firefox 127.0.2 snap version was released later.
    I don't know since when exactly, but Firefox 127.0.2 snap is available now.

    I posted about something similar a few months ago, few pages back in this thread. I use Standard for tracking, when I started having the issue, I disabled as much as I could in Firefox Settings, but couldn't get the sites to work again (even though they work perfectly fine in Edge), the websites became broken, unusable, and are still unusable today. So, when I use the sites, I am forced to use Edge.

    If you like to read what I posted when Firefox broke this websites that are important to me, read the post below and a few more afterward.
