During the last two hours, while I was using Firefox on my PC for browsing, the password manager lost all of my passwords but three - of which I don't need two logins any more. Where are my account data and passwords? What the hell?!?

Il y a 2 semaines je travaillais comme d'habitude sous Firefox et faisais appel à des services Google, tels Photos et GMail et d'autres . SANS PROBLEME J'ai renouvelé mon abonnement a AVAST et en ai profité pour exécuter certaines options de nettoyage qu'Avast me proposait. J'ai été surpris quelques jours plus tard de ne pas pouvoir accéder à Google Photos : j'avais les emplacements et commentaires mais pas les photos !

Puis j'ai remarqué que Gmail n'acceptait pas des screenshots

En cherchant l'aide, j'ai supprimé tous les Cookies de Firefox

Depuis lors, que ce soit pour n'importe quel service de Google, autre que RECHERCHE, MAPS, Youtube et Chrome j'obtiens un écran de rejet de GOOGLE quand il est demandé par Firefox. Toujours la même réponse , comme dans le fichier joint

Si je n'arrive plus a travailler avec Firefox que j'ai toujours utilisé, il faudra que je passe à un autre navigateur C'est dommage et contrariant

When I am using certain apps as webpages and I input information firefox keeps asking to update password even though the password has not been changed nor am I even in the place where passwords would be entered. Is there a way to turn this off at least for certain webpages ? Even manually and individually would be fine, maybe an option on the "update password" box to "not on this site" or something like that. Thanks,

Hello, I’ve been having this weird artifacting happen on YouTube when skipping ahead or backwards with the arrow keys, or when scrubbing/clicking on another point on the time bar. It’s this garbled mess of the last screen that stays there until a new shot or enough of the current image changes. It is really annoying as I am someone who tends to skip around a lot in videos and I tend to have to replay parts because of this or just deal with this mess. It only happens on YouTube and only on Firefox for some reason. If anyone knows what could be causing this, I’d really appreciate it. I haven’t been able to find a similar issue online, maybe I am searching the wrong thing. Tried to get some screenshots of it with something that would really show it. This has been happening for a while. I use a Mac Studio with an M1 Max since it released in 2022. I've tried reinstalling Firefox as well and that did not fix it.

This happens on any video regardless of what quality settings it is at. I've tried adjusting hardware acceleration to no avail. I dont really know what else to try at this point.

I have version 105 and version 132 now installed on my computer. What is the best way going forward? I had 375 tabs open and of course designed my way. Besides saved passwords I have a couple gigs of cookies. Some pinned tabs etc. Should I just start over with version 132 and struggle through it for a few weeks? It used to update automatically but for some reason it did not these last few months and 105 didn't even have an option to update. Thanks for any suggestions.

I was live streaming last night, and the page started acting up, so I refreshed it, and my camera disappeared.

I went to my stream settings, and there were no cameras available (I have 3 running and available always).

I went to my permissions page, and all permissions were enabled. After finding a troubleshooting page that showed me how to get to Firefox's "Troubleshooting information" to see all Input Devices, and there were no cameras. Screenshot attached. (Funny, because the "C920 Webcam microphone" was listed, but not the camera)

When I reboot/refresh Mozilla, I AM able to see and select a webcam, but only upon initial startup. If I refresh the page, or open a new streaming page, all cameras disappear again. This is not a long-term work-around, as refreshing FF clears my cookies/cache and I have to spend 30 minutes setting my stream pages up from scratch.

Any ideas what could cause this, and if there are any other troubleshooting steps worth trying?

One of the add-in permissions is "Access your data for sites in the “named” domain". I looked at that and thought, "That certainly cannot include passwords"; BUT the explanation for this permission is: "The extension could read the content of web pages you visit in the specified domain, as well as data you enter into those web pages, such as usernames and passwords. "

I was stunned.

That means that addins that get this permission have access to my banking/medical/etc. usernames & passwords. This is not acceptable. Can a permission be developed that would be: "Access your data for sites in the “named” domain" (except usernames/passwords).

The permission "Access your data for all websites" is significantly worse in that it applies to all sites.

I have windows 10 and the latest update of firefox and many normal mp4 videos and videos of other formats will not play. I do not understand why or how to fix it please help

I am using Firefox as my default browser in Windows 10 Enterprise. Since making it my default, the computer takes forever to start up and often gives me "not responding" messages when trying to open a documents search or other tasks. When I open the Task Manager to stop a stalled task, I noticed that Firefox is using over 3800 mb of memory, more than three times as much as any other browser, resulting in over 70% of my memory being taken up. I am assuming that Firefox is therefore not sleeping or suspending unused tabs. Is this so? If so, is there an add-on or tab manager that will suspend currently unused tabs? I've tried to use the suggested tab managers but found them impossible to figure out. Why don't these add-ons provide instructions on how to set them up?

Thanks for any help or advice you can offer.

Hello,

I have a self-made JavaScript-HTML-Calendar on my local file system. I use JavaScript to change the dom, for example to mark a day in the calender as "holiday" or "work". When I use the "Save as" function of Firefox, Firefox does not save the new version of the dom anymore, it does not overwrite the HTML-file on the disc. It worked fine until mid october 2024, but it seems a recent update changed something.

It still works with other browsers, it is only Firefox i have this problem with.

Does somebody know which setting may have been changed causing this problem?

Thanks in advance

I know this is a minor issue, but after installing Firefox via winget, the search bar in Windows 10 (Windows Search) finds the Firefox app but doesn't display its icon. Is there a known way to fix this?

I often use the Sync function to bring open tabs over from my smartphone to my desktop computer. I have noticed over the past month or so, this functionality has become increasingly unreliable and sometimes does not function at all. At the moment I have no synced tabs showing on my desktop. I have signed out and back in to Mozilla on both my smartphone and desktop multiple times, checked the sync settings, and nothing seems to resolve this. There have been a couple Firefox updates on both the desktop and mobile side, none of which have changed this behavior.

Has anyone else been experiencing this? What other trouble shooting steps can I perform? Any help is much appreciated.

For years I've used the same email and password to login to Firefox sync. However I discovered in recent weeks my login details are no longer recognised., so am not able to import all my bookmarks and online passwords onto a re-installed operating system. My stored passwords on another system visibly shows the same login details I have always used. This has not happened before, and I did not change my login details, so I am at a loss what has gone wrong.

Any suggestions as to how I can login to syncing.

Hello,

I would like to ask if there is something that can be done to recover bookmarks/logins?

The story: 1. When opening new tab it says it needs restart for a new upgrade. 2. Then nothing happens. When trying opening firefox new window does not load, the process shows for a short time (few seconds) then disappears. When opening it from cmd there is no console log. 3. Then after reading internet, it said that reinstallation could help. I did that, i.e. installed new firefox installator and ran it. After opening, it was a brand new firefox, no bookmarks, login information loaded from existing profile. 4. Tried to recover profile information via sync, but to my unfortunate i reseted the password from mozilla account and login in new mozilla firefox thinking it would fech all the data from server and I could retrieve my history. Unfortunately after the fact I read that it would reset all stored information on that account. 5. Right now in Profiles folder I can see three entries, two of which have only parent.lock file and the other is this brand new profile. I assume/guess it was created during reinstallation.

When going to update history it shows "Install Failed" on Firefox 132 version.

Is this case totally lost and all data is unrecoverable or is there a chance to recover it? When reinstalling, does new installation create a new profile that is futher used or try to use one that was used by already installed Firefox? Has the local profile been overwritten when resetting account password?

I understand that I made few mistakes along the way, e.g. not backing up profiles when upgrade failed, but nevertheless I would like to ask if there is anything that can be done?

Thanks

Hello - I am running Firefox version 132.0 (aarch64) on a mac M1Max running Sonoma 14.6.1. The most recent Firefox update deleted all of my bookmarks and I can't get them back using the Manage Bookmarks->Restore option. I don't have a manual back up file. There were hundreds of bookmarks. Why did you do this and how can I get my bookmarks back?

/edit: moved thread from Firefox for iOS (for iPhone/iPad) to Firefox section as you have macOS.

imported my bookmarks from an HTML file but cannot save new bookmarks to the old folders. The folders are there when I look using the 'Show your bookmarks' icon. I can access bookmarks from this icon.

When I try and bookmark a new site the imported bookmark folders do not show up. Help please.

This afternoon, I was browsing and archiving many of my saves, and I frequently received the message that "Something went wrong retrieving your Saves". I have not had this problem before. There's about 6800 articles in my Pocket presently. Am I reaching some kind of limit for maximum articles I can save?

I have already converted my account to login using Mozilla (summer 2023) and I've been using the firefox browser this afternoon.

Would appreciate any insight you could share. Thanks very much.
