Firefox Community Forum

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.

David

For about the last month, Firefox crashes regularly, with this message in a pop-up box:

Firefox Crash Reporter Firefox had a problem and crashed. Unfortunately, the crash reporter is unable to submit a report for this crash. Details: missing field 'include_url' at line 3 column 1

Afterwards, I can re-launch Firefox and resume activities.

I'm running Windows 11 Version 23H2 for x64-based Systems

Firefox will not open the website from my email provider, but Vivaldi will. Why? website is: https://webmail.sasktel.net/#/login Firefox 132.0 (64-bit) Windows 10

All I got when trying to drag photos and URLs to my desktop was a red circle-slash. Turns out Firefox is the only browser that insists on UAC being turned on, apparently a -no-deelevate problem — whatever that is. Despite three calls for help here, not a single person read my post. Of course, there's o Mozilla support.

A bigger revelation was that users are not allowed to uninstall Firefox. Requesting uninstall in Control Panel is not an option. Firefox only allows you to initiate a repair. Takes combing through every Mozilla and Firefox entry in App Data and RegEdit to get rid of this pest.

Enough. I've gone from Mozilla to Nozilla.

Hello, I have 3 PCs. One is Windows 10, Firefox 131.0.3 One is Windows 10 firefox 131.0 One is windows 11 firefox 131.0.3

All 3 PCs are running BOINC, using the remaining CPU power up to 100%

On PC W10 + FF 131.0 and PC W11 + FF131.0.3 BOINC and FF share the processor time up to 100% On the PC W10 + FF 131.0.3 when FF is dispatched, no processor time is assigned to BOINC and CPU busy is no more 100%. This situation occurs frequently and can last several minutes.

How do you remove this type of auto fill suggestion in the url bar? All research says "click 3 dots and remove" or press "shift + delete", these do not work for this type so how do you remove it without deleting the entire browsers cache?

Dear Team,

     Thank you,For the last 12 to 10 months, my channel, JONI VCD and JONI  VCD Center have had no one else in charge. 
I was by myself.  After the JONI VCD center hack, someone I know worked with Anydesk for a while.

My desktop still shows strange things from time to time, for example:- Desktop suddenly stops working.  Looks like someone else is running deskstop.  So you have to give new windows.  Tell me if you need any proof of my Deskstop.  They must also provide windows, otherwise, there may be problems. 

Thank you dear team.

Note: Gallery Vision Music Distribution App, signed a two-year contract with JONI VCD and only posted audio tracks as a member of the JONI VCD Center. If any more documents are required.  Please tell me, I will try to give. Thank you.

Child birth in the river and twenty taka family are the same video. Baby delivery in river joni uploaded on vcd Aug 4, 2021 After 8 months, age-restricted problem occurs. Edited this video, joni published on vcd center, Mar 20, 2022, video still running. There is one more video like this, two videos linked below. If I didn't own two channels, would I be able to upload the same video on two channels? If you still do not believe. Please tell me what kind of proof you need.

Please check the videos below, I hope you will understand.

And see the attached picture.

Every time I try to go onto any site, I'm asked to solve a puzzle by sliding the missing piece onto it's spot. Every time I'm blocked from these sites.

What can I do to fix this?

I take a lot of screenshots using Firefox's built in screenshot tool to share with my friends. After a while it slows down my Photos folder and I move them elsewhere. However, I cannot move, delete, or even rename any of the 18 photos shown in the photo below. They are all from Twitter/X, but this error does not apply to every screenshot from Twitter - I was able to move or delete most of them. However, it is ONLY happening with photos from Twitter. They are not Read Only so I don't know what the issue is. I'm not having this issue with Windows Snip tool, only Firefox Screenshots.

I am attempting to configure the "Simple Tab Groups" extension (having failed to get any help working with the more complicated Sideberry). Following instructions in firefox's "How to use Containers" article: viz: Enable Firefox containers

 " Click the menu button  and select Settings.
   In the General panel, scroll down to the Tabs section.
   Make sure the box next to Enable Container Tabs is checked. "

The "enable Container Tabs" is at the end of the list and is paler type with the box appearing checked; clicking it does not change it. Does that mean it is already self-enabled so that I cannot click it ? This might seem a stupid question but, I am only trying to follow directions! (Now you see why, without directions, I couldn't set up Sideberry. GitHub people wouldn't even answer my questions. I'm not a coder.

Thanks

Firefox shows messages like Secure connection failed and the connection has timed out. When I restart my computer it works one time then when I close firefox it does not work again. Then some website but not the greatest conglomerates do not load or work. Can you help me? Thanks wade
