Hi R0b0t1, For "normal browsing" I created a profile for firefox which is privacy enhanced -- blocking all sorts of things. This profile works half with the sites I normally visit. Aliexpress get screwed up when visited using this profile. So I created a second profile, which I use for Aliexpress only. This one has only some privacy related things enabled. Aliexpress works -- including poping up this [beep] "Are you new to Aliexpress?" popup. Cookies are enabled with this profile. As soon as I login into Aliexpress the popup disappears -- now Aliexpress is satisfied, because tracking my searches is now personalized. Its the same reason for why buying via Aliexpress App on a smartphone/tablet is cheaper than using a PC. I am using XPrivacy on my Android tablet which shows, blocks or allows ANY access to permissions like "Get your location" et cetera -- I instantly deleted that App after I saw, what this App wants to know. Cheers Meino
