My Firefox 132.0.1 64-bit Windows 10 doesnt remember my settings, as e.g. home page. As soon I exit Firefox the old (default) settings come up (exept my search engine - that it remebers). I cannot find any "save settings" any where. Best regards RP

I am trying to access the link "https://www.sorn.service.gov.uk/". This is the address of a click through from the webpage "https://www.gov.uk/make-a-sorn".

I keep getting this error:

"Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to www.sorn.service.gov.uk. PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR

Error code: PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR

I am on Windows 10 Pro 22H2 19045.5011, using Firefox 132 (64-bit), not running Kaspersky, I do have AdGuard (7.19.0 (4853) (CL 1.16.44, DL 2.5.41 )) and Malwarebytes (4.6.17.334) on my system along with their browser adons. I have attached some screenshots, hope they are useful.

Please help.

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.

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

I use Firefox on a Dell Windows laptop. I used to be able to drag pinned bookmarks from my toolbar to the sidebar in the toolbar customization page; now, I can't. What's changed, and how do I move them now?

I've always chosen the Settings option to notify me about updates but let me choose to install them. Those notifications still give me the option to "dismiss," but these days ignore that and proceed to install the updates anyway. Worse, I can't even choose to restart at my convenience: The browser basically stops working until I do that, displaying the message I've attached here. (There used to be a Settings option to "Use a background service to install updates" that could be unchecked, but it's not there any more.)

This is not only obnoxious but a practical inconvenience because every time it happens I have to repopulate my Private Browsing sites. I'd hoped that there would be a fix in the latest update (that just forced itself on me) - 132.0 - but no.

Anyone else experiencing this?

How do I keep firefox v115 ESR or v128 ESR from mixing the languages for the add-on descriptions in the Manage Your Extensions UI?

I would liket everything displayed in English if that's possible.
