I just got a replacement for my old laptop and I have installed Firefox, I'm trying to log into my sync account but it says that I have an invalid authorization code whenever I try to use the code I get in my email. I've trying both copy/pasting it and typing it out manually and I've resent the email several times and tried those codes, but no matter what it says that the code is invalid.

Attempting to install Firefox on my D drive.
Tried to follow these instructions: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/custom-installation-firefox-on-windows
However, they are inaccurate. The Firefox installer does not give you any options for a custom install, it just installs. I tried to uninstall and reinstall, but then it just gives you the option to reinstall. I had to hunt down three different Mozilla folders and delete them to clear out the installation properly, then tried to reinstall, but it still does not give any option to custom install.

Nothing seems to work. An appropriate plugin seems to be installed and, after downloading the latest version from Adobe, a retry informed me that Flash was already installed. Firefox does not agree. The download from Adobe informs me that upgrading is a 3-stage process but takes me no further than stage 1. This used to be a doddle under XP. You just found and ran the executable file in the Download folder. I can find no executable files in my Download folder. My current Linux version is 18.3 Sylvia. I am sure that this used to be handled automatically by Firefox updates in previous Mint versions. Now, however, it doesn't seem to matter what I try - whether using the Mint's Software function or going onto Adobe's download page. I always seem to finish up in the same place with the computer just looking at me and declaring that Flash is already installed. The Firefox Addons list includes Flash but nothing I do will get it working.

I lost my password for Firefox somehow.
I have my secondary email set up. I have account recovery not enabled I have two step authentication not enabled
I do not have a saved password in either Firefox itself or on iClouds keychain that works.
I understand that if I were to reset my password, I would lose everything.
On my desktop, I have 289 saved passwords On my iPhone I probably have that many or more unsynced passwords.
I have 10 years worth of bookmarks and history as well. I don’t really care about the history, but the bookmarks are important.
If there is no way to recover my password for Firefox, can I use Apple's Safari browser to export my usernames/passwords and bookmarks on my desktop and import them back in after I reset my password (which will reset my firefox account) ?
Also, if I do this, how will it affect my iPhone Firefox? Its not currently logged into firefox due to the password issue. Thanks!

Running FF 67.0.3 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. When I go to certain web pages (Amazon, My Music) I get an intrusive pop-up saying my version of FF is no longer supported and I should upgrade. The pop-up cannot be dismissed, and the only option is 'update now'. (And FWIW, the Amazon page behind it is "out of focus" ) The 'update now' takes me to a page telling me to open the 'help - about' and it will automatically start downloading. Only it doesn't start downloading . And other pages say FF is supposed to update automatically, without any intervention on my part. So I'm stuck.

I have installed Firefox before and I don't recall ever having this issue. I have tried rebooting my computer, doing a clean uninstall and install of Firefox, trashing Mozilla's cache folder, and attempting to install Firefox multiple times but every time I drag Firefox into the Applications folder it gets stuck at "Preparing to copy to "Applications." Every.. single... time.
I am using MacOS Catalina.
I would really appreciate any help or suggestions. Thanks! :)
How do I access Firefox?
I downloaded Firefox for the first time on my computer and when it tries to open, a pop-up appears saying my profile is missing. Why?
I would like to know a process for running firefox 51 with the latest Firefox on the same mac, without corrupting my profile

I need to update an old resource which requires Flash, so in a safe environment I need to run a browser with Flash enabled, which means Firefox 51. My mac has the latest firefox installed, currently 71. Whenever I load up firefox 51, when I return back to the latest Firefox my profile has corrupted, specifically: 1) places.sqlite has become places.sqllite.corrupt and is replaced by a fresh places.sqlite- the former corrupt file cannot be replaced/renamed as places.sqlite anymore 2) favicons.sqlite becomes favicons.sqlite.corrupt 3) all addons are marked as disabled. Reenabling them by editing extensions.json (changing all instances of appDisabled”: true to “appDisabled”: false) does not make the plugins enabled again
Here are my various attempts at doing this safely: 1) without turning internet off when running up firefox 51: corrupts the latest firefox install - requires redownloading and setting up 2) turn internet off, load up firefox 51, tell it to never update. Then continue closing and loading up current firefox - profile is corrupted as above 3) first Visit about:profiles in latest firefox, set the default profile to a new profile "switchToMeBeforeLoadingOldFirefox". Close browser and reopen, note a default blank profile. Close new firefox. Open old firefox without internet at above - frustratingly just doing this with my 'real' profile open in the mac's finder, I can see the sqlite temprary files being created in my 'real' profile when firefox 51 is open, corrupting it all as above. The files in the profile 'switchToMeBeforeLoadingOldFirefox' seem unaltered
That last point was particularly unexpected! Can someone provide a fullproof process please?

I have just upgraded to Firefox 17 and found that Norton 360 "Login Assistant" (formally named Identity Safe) no longer works. It does not fill in the username and password fields. It worked very well and did all the right things when I was using Firefox 16. There is probably a quick fix but in the meantime I have had to revert to version 16. Looking forward to the problem being resolved.

I live in Mountain View and use Google WiFi which is provided by Google for the City of Mountain View. For the past few months, they have been having a BIG problem with the corruption of downloads. Even teensy tiny ones. Perhaps you've heard about it since you're also in Mountain View. They have not responded to repeated posts from the forum... I have an iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and I haven't been able to update my software. I go to Lane Medical Library at Stanford to use the Windows machines there. I load whatever standalone software that I can onto a jump drive and install it at home. Unfortunately, some sites (like Apple and maybe even Mozilla!) recognize the computer you're on and only allow you to download software compatible with the machine that you are actually sitting at. This means that I can't reinstall Safari because I can't get a copy of it. And it looks like I might not be able to install Firefox 17.0 either. At least, that's what I'm trying to find out. "We've made some educated guesses about your current browser and operating system." See what I mean? So when I go to the library, will I be able to download a copy of Firefox 17.0 for the Mac and install it on my computer at home? Thanks!
Firefox updated itself to version 17, but I see it's not released yet. More - copy to clipboard from javascript doesn't work anymore.
It asked me for update as always, I allowed it and it's now 17 which is not officially released + javascript is unable to copy data to clipboard anymore.

After updating from 16 to 17 some of the extensions that are crucial for me stopped working, got disabled and got listed as incompatible with 17.0. Now when I try to toggle the extensions.checkCompatibility.17.0 boolean into the “false” position, it readjusts itself into “true” after each restart, making it impossible to force those extensions as compatible.
Why is this happening and what can I do to make it stay at “false”?
