I'm running Firefox 122.0.1 on a Windows 10 desktop PC, with a profile which includes a userChrome.css file which makes several layout and cosmetic changes.

I also have a laptop (also Windows 10) which has an old Firefox 97.0.1 installation, and I'd like to make the same changes on this machine which I'm used to on the main computer. I copied my desktop profile to the laptop, to the same directory as its present profile, but when I rebooted Firefox the transferred profile wasn't recognised.

While doing the transfer I received error messages about some of the folders: Destination path too long. This despite the fact that the registry flag to accept extended paths is set to 1. I had to skip several folders in order to complete the transfer.

Could this be the reason why the new profile isn't being picked up? Or is it because the two Firefoxes are of different versions?

I'd be grateful for any thoughts. Many thanks.

One of the things I heavily rely on with FireFox is it storing words I type in reply boxes on various forums. Lately however, Firefox only seems to keep them for several hours, then they disappear. For example, I can type in "K Frame." (See image attached) The next time I go to use that field again, that text will automatically appear. And it may continue to do so for several hours, even if I close out Firefox and return later, but eventually, within 24 hours, it will disappear and I will have to retype it again the nest time I want to use that phrase. FireFox used to hold these words or phrases forever.

Any suggestions????? Both my Windows 11 and Firefox are up to date.

Every so often for the past few days this "unfinished" program window has appeared on my pc on top of a normal Firefox window (see attached png). Does this have something to do with Firefox? I think the same thing appears when I first open Firefox, then it gets "filled in" and appears as a normal Firefox window. I am running Firefox 133.0.3 (64-bit) on Windows 10 Pro Version 22H2 build 19045.5247 Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19060.1000.0.

i am trying to play a game on cool math games and the game keeps hanging. i also have issues on another site where the video player indefinitely loads. and yes i have cleared cookies and site data, disabled all extensions, started firefox in troubleshot mode, disabled hardware acceleration. but the only thing that fixes the issue is using another browser. both windows and linux is having the same issue so its not os related. feel free to lmk if you have any questions


how to reproduce

1: go to this url: https://www.coolmathgames.com/0-jacksmith 2: load the game and start a save 3: skip or wait through the dialog (i did both) 4: when the dialog ends you should be stuck with a folded piece of paper on the side of the screen when the animation froze. loading the save will also cause a freeze

The website WSJ has large areas on front page, including the opinion listing, are simply white and not 'there' on the page to click on. I've deleted their cookies without effect, tried turning off all adblockers, shut mac down to reboot, nothing seems to have an effect. This is a recent glitch of only several days, prior performance was great. Thanks!

Firefox and Thunderbird issues. I am using Firefox v. 133.0.3 (64 bit) on Win 10 I have 2 default files: C:\Users\NewMain\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\bwa3b8cx.default-1520739811795 with 1,114 items C:\Users\NewMain\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\kfjgip7d.default with 55 items When I open Firefox I land on “Welcome to Firefox” and a second tab “Firefox Privacy NoticeꟷMozilla” appears. Sometimes two windows (2 versions) of Firefox open, both on the default Firefox screen. I have repeatedly tried to change the home screen. This works until I close Firefox. Upon restart the home page is gone and I revert to the default Firefox page. In Thunderbird I am using I have one Profile C:\Users\NewMain\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\n7m9uw0t.default with 131 items. As with Firefox two windows open when I start Thunderbird. Currently one window has only my inbox. The other window opens with two tabs: Inbox and Account Settings. I no longer see the local folders I was using before things went awry. Questions: 1. How do I get Firefox to open one window and land on my desired home page? 2. How do I restore the saved passwords? 3. How do I get Thunderbird to open only once and on my inbox 4. How can I restore my “lost” local folders? I have looked at a number of FAQs and haven’t been able to suss out a cure. Also, it seems that both programs started having problems at the same time. Any help you can provide will be appreciated. R. Stober

Description: Intermittent black or white blocks partially covering parts of the image, this problem disappears when you open the same webpage in troubleshoot mode. Steps to Reproduce: This problem I have is when i open an image inside a website I am subscribed too. It first occured about three weeks ago, I tried all the available cleaning tools cache etc to try to resolve this issue. As none of that worked and I had the computer quite a while, I decided to do a complete new Windows installation but the problem was still there. This problem occurs in The British Newspaper Archive website, Newspapers At Ancestry website and Ancestry.co.uk, this problem does not occur using any other browers. I can open the same webpage in both Windows Edge and Duck Duck Go browsers and the issue is not there. So, that suggests to me that the issue is in the Firefox Browser itself. I have tried opening the webpage in the Firefox troubleshoot mode, and the issue then disappears, but then as I re-open Firefox normally, the issue returns. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me to resolve this issue. Thanks.
