Good day, i was installing a fresh windows on my pc and planning to sync my bookmarks but i accidentally sync a new set of bookmarks to my account, now all my OLD bookmarks are gone, can i still retrieve or recovery my old bookmarks?

I reinstalled windows on my PC. I had to password reset because I forgot it and then it made my login back on my phone. I go through the login process on my phone and I first get my Email verification then I get my Auth app and it tells me it was logged in, but doesn't actually log me in. It does this both on my phone and PC now so I am trying to get logged in on my phone to be able to bring my bookmarks over.

i've had recent cause to reset my 2017 iMac running OS 13 back to factory settings. this has cause all kinds of problems, and now i need to set up a new user account. i identified the relevant profile, and copied it to the new user account. i then opened Firefox and typed "about:profiles", and the new profile is not in the list, even though it's in ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/.

i tried compressing it before copying it, but that made no difference. i've tried logging out, restarting, and switching on and off again.

so i'm stuck in between two users, one with all my data, and the other with Firefox (and possibly Thunderbird, haven't even tried that yet). this makes life unbelievably difficult.

i really need my Firefox profile back. desperately hoping someone can help.

thanks for reading.

got a new laptop and downloaded firefox. i sign in and enter the authentication code sent to my email, but it automatically disconnects me. i complete another log in and it continues to go in a loop. any help appreciated. thank you.

Hi, My mozilla account (swetank000@gmaIl.com) is deleted by mistakes or might be hacked. Also the pocket account got deleted.

Please restore my account so that I can secure it.

I upgraded to Windows 11 on a new machine a few days ago. Had to re-install all my software from scratch.

I just discovered I can’t create subfolders. Not sure long the problem has existed (I don’t create subfolders very often).

I tried creating a subfolder on several different top level folders, on multiple accounts (Hotmail & Gmail). The "name new folder" dialog never appeared. No error message appeared, either.

Windows Task Manager shows 2% CPU usage, and 21% memory in use.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hello. I have a question out of curiosity regarding Mozilla accounts. Suppose I'm at my aunt's house and need to use her PC to retrieve just one password from my Firefox account. Is there a way to access that password without importing all of my account data into her browser?

I’ve tried logging into my account in a private window, but it still imported everything. In the case of Chrome, Google has a Password Manager that lets you access individual passwords without syncing or importing all data to the browser. Does Mozilla have a similar feature? If accessing a single password is possible, why does it seem so difficult? And if it isn't, why is that the case?

Kind regards, Wiktor
