For some reason the little star icon at the far right of the URL address/search bar that indicates if the site is in your bookmarks is not showing up. Is there a way to get it back other then doing a refresh or reinstalling Firefox? I do see the star when I right click on the window to bring up the context-menu.

All the extensions I've found that claim to do this don't play well with dark themed firefox. (Technically default theme on dark win10.) Also they don't work well with the latest versions of firefox.

When I visit the page https://www.costco.ca/vtech-5-in.-video-baby-monitor-with-2-cameras%2c-wide-angle-lens-and-standard-lens.product.100515489.html# the product viewer should have a few thumbnails and allow zooming the currently selected image. This is not the case for me. If I restart in safe mode it does work though.
I followed this page https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems#firefox:win10:fx70 with no success.
Disabling all extensions and hardware acceleration, ensuring I'm using the default theme... the problem still persists in "regular" mode but isn't present in safe mode.
What else is safe mode doing?

Hello, I installed an add-on called "Restore Old Fast Theme of YouTube" from here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/restore-fast-theme-of-youtube/
But after realizing it wasn't the right thing for me I tried to remove it but it seems to have permanently altered my YouTube. I tried restarting the browser but it is stuck on.
How is it able to do this? I have removed it so it should be back to normal but it is not.
Thank you for any help

In my preferences I have "Restore previous session" checkbox checked and "Warn you when quitting the browser" unchecked. However I get a warning when I quit the browser with multiple tabs open, and my old tabs don't reopen when reopening Firefox.
I think this has started happening since updating to Catalina. Any ideas what might be going wrong?

Firefox auto update locked up my Win 7 computer while updating from 70.1 to 71.0 and I had to hard restart. When back into Windows, Firefox was broken. I had to reinstall Firefox to get it running and all bookmarks and saved logins were totally lost. I tried restoring them from backups but no success. I was able to move bookmarks over from another computer, but I am having no success finding the key3.db and logins.jsons files on the computer with working bookmarks and saved passwords. The computer I am trying to move the saved logins from is Windows 10, or as I call it, bloated utter crap. I need help moving those files over to the computer that had the Firefox problem, which is Windows 7. The computer that I am posting this from is the Windows 10 one that I haven't had the problem with.

Please continue here: [/questions/1270789]
Recently updated my 2012 MacBook Pro to macOS 10.15. After Firefox has been open for a while, it stops loading webpages. The title of the page loads, the browser window goes white and never displays anything; the page attempts to load continuously and navigation buttons don't respond. Other than that, Firefox operates and responds as though nothing's wrong. Meanwhile all other browsers can navigate the web just fine. Quitting Firefox (from the menu bar) causes the windows to close but an entry remains in "Force Quit" for an extended period. It can be forced closed from here, but doing so causes further attempts to open Firefox to have no windows appear; the only way to reopen Firefox appears to be to restart the whole computer. If allowed to close the rest of the way on its own- which can take up to 10 minutes- the crash dialog appears and Firefox can be restarted.
This has continued to happen despite repairing the drive, refreshing Firefox, removing and reinstalling Firefox, disabling hardware acceleration, running in safe mode, etc. There are no extensions installed and I have not synced my Firefox account.

Outlook has recently started asking me to completely login every time I use it, rather than going directly in when I click the icon on the Firefox home page. I'm checking to see if that is caused by anything I have authorized you to do before I complain to Microsoft.

Hello all. I want to read all opened URLs in all tabs from my own program on .NET Framework. How it is possible to do?
I try to use System.Windows.Automation, but this is extremely unstable way. A;so try to use Selenium. Its good choice, but firstly need to start FF under geckodriver and .NET wrapper about geckodriver - FirefoxDriver.
At common, when I doing something in my job, I have a lot, a lot of tabs. On the evening I leave computer and want to continue from this point on next morning or maybe after week. I want to save all opened URLa to my program, named this point with friendly name and return to this point in a few days. And in my program I want to have a history of this saving, arrange by date. But I have no idea about reliable and safe method of reading all opened URLs.
