Privacy notice problem

[CivvyPete]

Pop up privacy notice making site unusable, Is it just me?
Just happened today, I can accept all, save, and next time I move to another page/thread it pops up again. It leaves a "privacy settings' button permanently in the bottom corner of the screen. I know privacy notices are a GDPR requirement but this is being a real pain because it doesn't seem to be setting cookies or whatever. Using Firefox on Android.

Firefox?

Mozilla bug report: 1548973 - (armagadd-on-2.0) [first mitigation completed, working on a second one] All extensions disabled due to expiration of intermediate signing cert

The fix will be auto updated if it hasn't been already.

I have it on the bottom right corner of my phone.
It's fecking annoying TBH.

Update: This seems to be fixed if I'm on WiFi, but come back if I go back to 3G or 4G.

It’s there continuously for me on an up-to-date iPhone using iOS.

I've got that too. I've been too scared to click on it in case everything goes to shite and I can't reverse it.

Buggers blew out all my add-ons and so without NoScript, Ghostery, etc. I had the blue button of death on ArRSe. There's a fix for the desktop version (yay! Add-ons are working again) but Android and ESR may take longer.

More, including how to get the desktop fix:-

Update Regarding Add-ons in Firefox

Edit: still fornicated on my Android phone.

Same for me on Microsoft Edge

And iOS Safari. Just the button in the bottom right corner - not intrusive on an iPad.

OK, so looks like there are 2 issues, change to site privacy setting feature that puts button up, coinciding with a Firefox problem that stopped new privacy feature being handled properly.

More to do with having Ghostery stop working in FF than a change to the site code, I think.

Ghostery and NoScript now back up and blue button gone in desktop FF.

Didn't stop me adding to the stream of rude feedback messages, though.

Don't know about pop-ups but I frequently encounter blacked-out areas of the screen. Sometimes they can be corrected by scrolling up and down, sometimes I have to go back a page and re-click the link.

I put it down to rejecting permission to collect data (as I do with all such requests and also because it looked like the request was fishy having just come out of the blue) but if others are experiencing problems, maybe it's something else.

Yep - it was the certificate issue with Firefox, but on Linux for me. The good news is that it finally overcame my inertia, and I installed Opera to give it a go. I'm happy so far, and the VPN seems to work transparently, so I'm good to go cum come the middle of June...

Any fixes yet. I have it on Android. Very annoying.

Apologies that this has taken a while but I think it is now sorted?

 

[putteesinmyhands]

The one I mentioned in post 13 has been recurring as recently as during this reply. Perversely, it seemed to clear quite a bit during the "deceptive site ahead" issue.
