Firefox — Fora społeczności

Last Friday I took up the firefox update. I always wait 3 days b4 I do in case there are any bugs. Lost everything on desktop and there was a msg " This update is not compatible with yr computer, please re-instal firefox" but it was a catch 22 situation cos every time I tried to re-install firefox I got nothing but the same message! I had version 133.0 (64 BIT) and the newer version was & still is 133.0.3. Eventually Edge came to my rescue and took me back to the older version (133.0). Then a couple of days later I'm getting incessant offers to update! I checked the Firefox updater & the new update is the same as the one that caused my desktop computer to crash so keep dismissing it unless u can promise me it wont happen again! My son is an IT specialist; he had to drive 100 miles to come help me get back everythng I lost. I dont like the newer update .. not interested in side bars; just want it to be the same all the time! So question is: if I take up the newer update, is it still incompatible with my comp? Am running W10 on it.

(I have no idea what topic I should have selected. If you read the text here, you can quickly see that I am flailing about.)

Please bear with me as I try to finish restoring Firefox after a spam attack that got around MalwareBytes, SuperAntispyware, and Windows Defender. I am missing a large collection of bookmarks, and until a day or ago, I had not the foggiest idea what it was called, as I had started it quite a long time ago and had not encountered any problems.

I knew that, whatever it was, was still on the computer as I had caught a glimpse or two of it. Two days ago, I found it: I clicked on the three-dot icon in the top right-hand corner of Firefox, selected Bookmarks, scrolled to the bottom of the list, and clicked on Manage Bookmarks, whereupon I found my compilation named Bookmarks Menu.

I had, more or less accidentally found, several days ago that there is supposed to be an icon specifically for that entry. I thought that I had kept a copy of what the icon looks like; sadly, I just saw that I had not so done.

However, I sort of recall what it looks like, with, I believe a star and something else, and it is supposed to be found in More tools, Customize toolbar icon collection. I looked there, with my miscreant note about the icon I need to restore the use of Bookmarks Menu; the icon was not there (and is not now, I just looked.) I don't even remember how I found the text about the icon, which had an image of it, alas.

If anyone can assist me, that would be, obviously, greatly appreciated.

My hard drive crashed and I have recovered the files. I have found the latest recovered profile but can't integrate the bookmarks and passwords into my current FF. I've read the how to articles but can't switch profiles. Help thanks.

I had four windows open with a few tabs in each. After a hard reset of my computer, Firefox doesn't recall any of those windows so I have no way to restore them. This is keeping me from accessing two different Outlook accounts. Any suggestions are helpful. I do not have a "restore previous session" option anywhere. Running 133.0.3 on Max OSX 14.7.1.

I inadvertently installed a new version of Firefox/Mozilla and all the previous bookmarks I had saved now appear to be gone. I don't want to try to recreate my list of bookmarks again, is there a way to get them back? I tried doing an import of bookmarks but it's only showing a few of them and not nearly as many as I had before. anything you can suggest would be very helpful!

My hard drive recently crashed but I was able to recover all the c drive files. I found the firefox profiles and have copied the entire folder onto my desktop in the new windows 11 computer. I can't seem to sync those bookmarks and passwords to the firefox. I think I need to change the default profile but can't get that to happen. I have copied the profile from the crashed computer to the profiles folder on the new one. Please help guide me through the process.

Thanks very much.

My PC had to be reinstalled by our IT-Department. I restored my bookmarks from my Firefox account, but all the tags connected to the bookmarks seem to be lost. Are the tags not synchronized together with the bookmarks?

Before and after synchronization of bookmarks was activated. At least after the re-installation my Firefox is version 133.0.3 which according to Firefox is the latest version. Before the crash automatic updates for Firefox were activated.

I already tried to add a tag for a new bookmark to ensure that tags are displayed in the save bookmark dialogue. No the entry field for tags is displayed, but the tags of the existing bookmarks are still missing.

Is there any way to restore my tags?
