I own a mac and had to erase all my data from my computer in order to upgrade to new system. Issue is - the apple support person did not remind me to save down my firefox browser data/bookmarks. Now my mac is updated and it's like a brand new computer. I searched previous forums and apparently firefox automatically saves down your data but I don't see it in the appropriate folder (Old Firefox Data >bookmarkbackups) - I see data from 2016 and 2017. Can I recover these bookmarks?? I had a lot of important ones saved..

hello

thanks

I am running Apple OS High Sierra, 10.13.6 on an older iMac Mid 2011. My Preferences have always been set, or checked, General_Tabs "Open links in Tabs instead of NEW Window."

The result is a Firefox screen full of Single Windows with Single Tabs. Some Windows I may continue to add Tabs to but most of the time I copy the link from the NEW Window and paste the link on the older Window. If I am in a hurry the result will be many many Opened NEW Windows with one or two NEW Tabs. See attachments. This has been going on for at least 6 months now.

Note your checkbox titled "Email me when someone answers the thread" does not work but please email me at "[email removed from public]".

Thanks in advance!

The title already says it all. Whenever i have some sound or video running in any tab, clicking on certain things like other videos or animated stuff in the same tab or another one causes a small interruption in the sound/video. Clicking a lot of times results in sound and video stuttering. I does not appear when i just click another link.

I already tried updating firefox, reinstall firefox, even downgrading firefox. This problem only appears in firefox and only on this device. I would be very thankfull for some advices, because this is really annoying.

I installed an extension from a website(not from addons.mozilla.org) and found it a bit suspicious so after around using it for 1 minute immediately removed it... So will an extension be able to access root/admin permissions if it had some malicious script executed(I am using debian) or can extension access system files,modify,delete or install/download anything without the users' permission?

Thanks in advance AVC

Hi,

Occasionally when downloading files on Firefox, they'll freeze completely (often at the very end.) There is no way to pause or cancel the downloads, except to restart Firefox.

When I attempt to restart Firefox, it closes the browser window. However, when I try to reopen it, I get an error message stating that Firefox is running but not responding. The 'Close Firefox' option does nothing, except make the box pop back up a moment later.

I can't kill the Firefox process in Task Manager or Process Explorer, because it says access is denied. I can't kill it using taskkill in command prompt because it says there is no running instance of the task.

The ONLY thing that seems to help is completely restarting the computer, which is getting frustrating to do several times a day.

I can confirm Firefox is up-to-date. Any tips are appreciated, thank you!

HI, I have just got a n ew laptop and setting it up from scratch. I have logged in to Mozilla, and I was under the impression I would find my password, browsing history and bookmarks there just like it was on my old laptop, but alas not. Ibhave trie looking for a solution but can't find anythjing that helps me out. I have also changed the password just in case it was that but it wasn't. Any advise on this thanks. Would ghate to go back to Safari. I am using Apple M3 MacOs 13.5. Thanks Anna

My Kaiser website kp.org can't come up...the following error message:

"The page isn’t redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

   This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies."

I am all of a sudden getting Access Denied errors when visiting a variety of different types of sites. I have read in the help menus that I need to go into the history and select to forget the site. While that temporarily fixes it, the error inevitably returns when trying to access these sites. I have disabled the Nord VPN and my ESET virus software but it does not help.

I have to go into Edge to access the sites as Edge does not give me the same error. This is making the browser nearly unusable. Please help.

Hello, I've started to experience an error message for a few weeks now.

When I interact with this website : chat.openai.com I get an error for 'This page is slowing down Firefox. To speed up your browser, stop this page.'

The website is not responding, and doesn't let me to further interact with it.

In process manager the CPU usage is 100%, while the website is not responding.

The odd thing is that when I check the CPU usage in Task Manager, remains steady at 15% .. 16% .. 17% but never 19% (while using this specific website of course).

I tried through incognito, and it does the same.

If someone of you friends, can suggest something different. Please let me know.

Best regards, George

So for my main gmail I have 2 step for obvious security reasons, but I want it to trust my PC so that I don't have to pull out my phone every time I try to access it. No matter how many times I click the option to trust this PC it always ask' for the 2 step, and I don't see the PC on the trusted list in my gmail settings. I have already added "mail.google.com" to the exceptions part of the cookie and site data settings, even "account.google.com" but it just doesn't seem to work. What is the obvious thing that I am missing?

Whenever I open a new tab, I start typing into the search bar at the top of my screen. The problem is, every time I open a new tab, I am on google (which I have no problem with); and when I go to type whatever I need to type into the search bar at the top of my screen, the URL from google stays there. So, for instance, if I open a new tab and try to go to Youtube by typing www.youtube.com into my searchbar and then hitting enter, I end up searching www.youtube.comhttps://www.google.com/ instead of just www.youtube.com. I've tried finding somewhere in settings where I can change this, but I can't find anything.

Hello,

I just noticed the attached thing show up on my browser today. It seems to be on just about every webpage I click on in the lower right hand corner. I can move it around, and when I click on it it "pulses" but doesn't really seem to do anything else. The "10" will sometimes disappear and the little ball will "jump" when I click on it before settling back into place. The little ball will switch seemingly at random from top to bottom.

The only webpage I haven't seen it on so far is this one...I have tried right clicking and nothing happens. I don't see any way to remove it.

Can you tell me what this is and/or how to get rid of it? Is it possible it's from one of my extensions? I haven't added any new ones in a while and it seems weird that it would show up all of a sudden with no explanation of how to use it or what it is...

I reset my computer and made a new firefox profile, and I only imported my bookmarks, passwords and history. When I try signing into instagram, WITH the correct sign in credentials the page resets without an error message or anything. Signing in is like, impossible and it seems like whenever I try to sign in it refreshes each time. My logins are saved and cleared cookies/ cache but nothing seems to work! Is there anything I can do?
