Firefox Community Forum

i miss spelled my email and after i did it wouldnt let me go back and change it even though i didnt even enter the password. now when i try to change it, it trys to make me make a new profile please help.

I retired an older desktop unit several months ago and am no longer able to access the bookmarks associated with my account. My profile information now says account disconnected, followed by my email address. Below that the words Profile 1 appear. The menu below is the regular menu for actions on Firefox but none of the bookmarks from the original computer appear. Is there some way to access them?

bold text Firefox has been my browser forever. When I tried to open it this morning I was invited to create a profile, so no profile, no Firefox..... I've never had to do this before and am reluctant because of the apparent threat of losing all my passwords and bookmarks. I'm 85 years of age so don't need this complication. Any help would be appreciated, complicated high tech answer will probably be beyond me. Brian.

When the Global Privacy Control request is checked (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/global-privacy-control?as=u&utm_source=inproduct) a persistent bubble appears at the bottom of the page indicating the request has been accepted. The bubble is annoying. Is there a way to continue to use this feature without the bubble appearing?

I noticed I cannot log on to amazon.ca or shaw.ca anymore on firefox, why?

When I try to stream a tv show, I can click on my cable provider, Verizon Fios, to login for access. The sso.verizon.com site doesn't resolve for me to enter my login credentials. I am able to successfully do this on other browsers such as Chrome and Edge. Why won't firefox resolve for me to login to verizon?

i cant export them when i click on the button it open a little window which i then confirm and then nothing happens. if i click the little eyes to see the passwords nothing happens if i click the edit buttons nothing happens. the copy buttons don't work. the only thing that still works is the auto fill.

To whom it may concern,

After the latest update I was met with a blank profile, no saved data, even when syncing with my Mozilla Account. I followed the back-up instructions by the support team described in the forums, but it wasn't enough. Common sites I frequent like youtube and gmail were not indexed, the passwords and logins were nowhere to be found. I really don't get what's going on, or why would the Mozilla Account wouldn't recover the data, while leaving that to profiles. Is there any way to recover it further? Or even disable profiles?

Thanks in Advance,

When i logged into a privacy session on a website the account did not automatically log out when i closed the session. I checked again by purposefully ensuring i closed all privacy windows but when i went back to the sight i was still logged in. I had to specifically log out the account.

Has something changed with the setting? This was one of the features that i liked. I don't want to find a new browser because what i expect is no longer happening.

I would like to remove the search options from the address bar because I preferred the old setup with a separate search window (and the address bar was just unable to perform searches). How can I set this up?
