Hello,

How can I recover my containers , I could create new ones but I thought the reason for signing up and syncing was that I could install a new version of Firefox sign in and my containers and extension configs would load . Appreciate assistance or reference to guides to recover container info

I have received the 14 Jan Mozilla Update warning a few times now, and I have tried to update Firefox, but it seems my computer sytem is now too old - iMac 0X El Capitan 10.11.6. PLEASE NOTE, I have an iMac from early 2009 and I am now unable to update my system to any other Mac version.

I lost all my saved pages and bookmarks recently when I tried to update Firefox using the instructions online. Unfortunately it was only after updating removed old Firefox that I was then informed that I would not be able to use the new version with my computer. I was able to resurrect my old Firefox from a backup, and would like to continue to use it as I am very happy with Firefox as a browser.

Are there any work-arounds that would allow me to use Firefox on my iMac - it is working perfectly and has just been cleaned and I've had a new hard drive installed - it seems incredibly wasteful to have to buy a new computer! Yours hopefully!

I do not save all attachments to my received email. It used to be that when I received an email with a attachment I could choose to open or download to a particular file. Now my only choice is to download the file which happens automatically as soon as I click on the attachment. I am using Windows 11 and read my email while it remains on the ACENTEC website. That seems to be a good security move. The email never is downloaded into my computer and remains accessible from any of the several computers I use.

particular link below always shows error 224003

I have been building websites on and off for many years using Notepad++, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP. During development and maintenance, I heavily use Firefox and Firefox Developer Edition on the computer where I build the sites (both editions are affected). I also have many notes on an offline website.

Recently, the links in these offline websites no longer work in Firefox. They function as usual in Microsoft Edge and the newly installed Vivaldi 7. They also work on an old laptop with an older version of Firefox. I think the issue was introduced in one of the recent updates. Could you please look into this? Otherwise, I cannot use Firefox as an offline browser and the developers add-ons on my laptop anymore.

Kind regards, Martijn de Jong

I sent this message to Mozilla support in Dutch and would like to send an English translation as well.

Do you have a solution for this issue?

my hard drive got fried, i thought firefox would save my browser data if i was logged on so i thought my passwords and bookmarks would be saved but it isn't and i have no other backup other than +4 years old chrome ones and nothing is up to date there obviously so now i'm panicking

Firefox will not start up after latest update earlier this week. Troubleshoot mode or refresh does not work either. Clearing caches, restarting does not work either. Worked great before latest update.

The Bookmarks toolbar changed after yesterday's firefox update: The toolbar as you can see from the below screen grab, shows blanks with the original title, but URLs have disappeared and are neither editable or useable i.e. cannot be deleted. Google, the BBC link and the one for my central heating have gone! Not only on my workstation but also on a brand new Dell notebook. Please advise me a.s.a.p. or notify me and probably others . Thank you

The search bar covers the bookmarks bar when hovering over the top on Mac. It needs to be so both the search bar and bookmarks bar move down when you hover over the main menu settings in Mac.

I'm facing an extremely bizarre issue in Firefox 134 for Mac. After trying "Increased Protection" DoH mode once, I have google.com working only under this "Increased Protection" now. It no longer works under "Default Protection" or "Off". It's exactly the same in the Troubleshoot Mode and in private windows.

If I type google.com in the address bar, or if I search for anything (regardless if it's in the address bar or the search bar), absolutely nothing happens now. If I'm on a new tab, it stays empty. If I'm on an existing tab, it just stays open on whatever website I'm at. For example, I can try accessing google.com right from here as I'm typing this, and nothing will happen, I will just stay on this page. The only visible activity is that the current website's icon (at the left of the tab) changes to the loading animation for a few seconds and then permanently changes to the hourglass icon. That's it.

Any local google domains, such as google.ca, DO load. Any google.com subdomains, such as mail.google.com, also DO load. It's exclusive to google.com. When typing dig google.com in my system's Terminal, it successfully resolves. Moreover, it also successfully resolves in Firefox's own DNS Lookup Tool (located at about:networking#dnslookuptool). What I'm seeing is Google's IP address 142.250.190.46.

Now, I have google.com working in absolutely all other browsers, it also seems to resolve through the terminal, as mentioned previously, but it no longer opens directly in Firefox, unless I enable "Increased Protection" again. As soon as I disable it and return to either "Default Protection" or "Off", google.com (and it alone) immediately stops loading.

Have I uncovered a hidden bug? I'm really depressed right now, because "Increased Protection" messed with certain websites and so I decided to disable it upon finding out, but unfortunately at the cost of Google Search not working anymore. Do I really have to use other browsers to use Google Search now? And what kind of witchcraft is it? I really don't understand what's going on.

Please create a new version of the browser app that supports the ability to use FileSystemAPI on directories, this is essential for working with a BeatBuddy project and SD cards that are saved on my computer.
