Firefox Community Forum

I updated Firefox last week. A few days after, I discovered that when I signed into Firefox, I couldn't find my bookmarks or extensions that I'd had on it before. I tried the "Import bookmarks" menu, but it only gave me option to import from Microsoft.

Then, I saw two firefox icons on startup menu. When I hit a faded-out one, I got into Firefox and did see my old bookmarks and extensions. When I clicked a fully colored icon, I got into Firefox but couldn't see my old bookmarks and extensions.

I saw firefox listed twice on my "uninstall" menu. I uninstalled the later one. Now, there's only the fully colored firefox icon on my startup menu, but when I click it, I still don't see my old bookmarks or extensions.

Trying to log in to my account a few minutes ago to get help, I was told the password I was using didn't work, so I came up with a new one. When I logged in after that, I got a message saying my old data might not be available.

Is there any way i can get my old bookmarks and extensions back?

All of a sudden, my default search engine changed to Google. I didn't do it and don't want it. The "settings" still show Firefox as my default, but it doesn't stop Google from hijacking my searches. I want to get rid of it.

This is a new laptop. I have it established to open previous windows when I turn the laptop on. Firefox is also supposed to automatically start. Neither thing is happening. Why?

Since last two updates, I noted I can't click on the URL field or any icons next to each other two versions ago. I changed the Bluetooth mouse to a lined mouse, then it went OK. But with the latest update, again, the same symptom occured and persists: I am on MacBookPro, so I manage to Command+any command key.

How can I restore and click on URL field, copy URL, or reload the URL address again? OF course, I need to use other icons for each function.

I believe Firefox invited me to add another partition to my Firefox system I do not like it, finding it interferes with my normal operation of daily events and also transfers unasked from my primary partition making, for instance emails l seeking a reply.

https://errors.edgesuite.net/18.acf7d517.1771548295.4f66cee0 is what I get when going to https:\goddady.com as of today. Running on Windows7 (no, I won't upgrade). Tried a variety of changes. But Chrome works fine. Any suggestions?

This has started a few days ago. I'm running Firefox Desktop on Windows 11. Browsing is perfectly normal, until I try to watch a video in full screen mode. It plays normally for a few seconds and then my whole system freezes, with no response to any action except for hard reset. This has never happened to me before, and all other browsers I try do not demonstrate the same problem. Is there any solution other than changing browser permanently?

I hope this is ok to post here.

My windows MSN app says this. When I select '"Open in Browser", this happens.

However, when I select "Video Hub", it works normally.

I tried clearing the cache and cookies. Reset. Uninstalled/reinstalled. I can separately access the website on Firefox.

I logged into my computer this morning and opened up Firefox, went to a online account to login and clicked on passwords from the sidebar and when it opened up it stated that I had no passwords saved and my profile had also been disconnected. I reconnected with my profile and all of my passwords are missing. Where are they?

Unable to open bookmarks list. It has very important websites that I use and need daily; earthlink webmail, bank account, daily weather. Unfortunately, I am not computer literate. I feel totally helpless.

Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to na.nikken.com. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.

What can you do about it?

Probably nothing, since it’s likely there’s a problem with the site itself.

The site is ok when I open on another window and even on Google which I don't like.

Version 148 recently installed as auto update and problem seems contemperaneous to that.

My Home page is set to show only the Firefox "search the web" as an entry box in the screen centre, but will no longer allow any input: instead the awesomebar (aka address bar) shows on the tool bars at top of screen and accepts/displays the entry. I wish to revert to the simpler display.

I thought the solution lay within the advanced preferences that can be accessed (via app:config) and the value of the awesome bar changed. However tthe awesomebar preference is the only one shown for which there is no setting at all. Edit brings nothing up. There is a delete bin symbol available.

Can anybody explain what is going on and how to rectify this situation, please?

I have been using the same firefox account for six years, and when the update that added user profiles came out, I successfully transferred all of my information to a profile. Well, today my firefox wasn't responding, so I used task manager to close it and restarted my computer. When I opened firefox again, it prompted me to select or create a profile to continue browsing. Crucially, it did not list the profile I had been using as an option, so I created a throwaway profile so look up what was going on and how to fix it. I tried logging into my mozilla account; no record of my previous browsing data, bookmarks, or extensions. I tried following the steps in the "Restore bookmarks, passwords and data from an old Firefox profile" article from Mozilla Support, but my old profile no longer appears in the profiles folder on my computer. I'm worried that if I keep messing around trying to restore my old data, I'll do some irreparable damage and never be able to get it back. Is there anything I can do in this situation?

Hi,

Since installing the latest FF update (148) a few days ago, I have trouble replying to any topic on this site: https://www.4x4community.co.za/forum/. Prior to this update, there was no problem in replying or posting to the forum.

I do not have this problem on any of the other forums of which I am a member, only this one. I can log in and read posts with no problem, but I cannot reply to any post. I am also unable to start a new post on this particular forum (of which I am a Moderator). There is no flashing cursor when I wish to post, and I also cannot 'copy & paste' a reply either.

I have disabled Malware Bytes, Dark Reader and AdBlock plug-ins, this makes no difference.

If, however, I run FF in the "Troubleshoot" mode, I am able to to post replies to this forum. I have reinstalled FF v148 twice, the issue remains.

Testing the same forum with Opera browser I can access and reply to the forum above, even though with Opera I use the same plug-ins mentioned above turned on. It appears to thus be a FF permissions issue. I have cleared my Cookies and cache but this did not help.

Do you have any other suggestions? I am a FF user from day 1 all those years ago and have no desire to change to another browser.

Regards, Eric
