I was told to use a "correct" username. I had tried to use my email address. Not sure what is wanted here

I am 74 years old. This is all very confusing. I do not understand all this technical stuff. I grew up with pencils and ink wells.

I also do not like that I have to give you my phone number. And I do not like that you are collecting so much information about me. This is Big Brother. Is all this necessary for you to function? Or are you collecting information for som other agency? If so, which?

Anyway, since I do use Firefox, please tell me what I need to do more if you do not already have what you say you need.

Hi birgitte1998, are you referring to creating a Firefox Account? When updating, Firefox usually presents a page about one or more Firefox features, one of which might be to create a Firefox Account. That's optional, so if you aren't looking to use a particular service -- if you just want to view websites -- you can skip it.
