Synced tabs disappear after logging into two different devices

So I had a laptop that had to go under repair (device A), so had to use a different computer (device B). I sign into Firefox, and I can see the synced tabs from device A. For various reasons, the very next day I had to transfer to another computer (device C), so I logout of device B, and login into Firefox in device C. The synced tabs are no longer visible, even though in my account it says device A is still connected to the sync.

Bookmarks and such still load up just fine, I just can't see the device A synced tabs at all. Any clue why this is happening?

Also, is it normal that my email is still showing on the device B menu? Even though it says I logged out successfully, and device B is not showing in sync anymore, in the actual computer it's still showing on the menu above the "new tab" option. How do I remove my email from showing in that particular browse? Uninstall the program entirely?

I can't enable USB Devices on about:debugging setup page. I already installed ADB toolkit for MacOS, also I can see my device in ADB devices list: ``` ~% adb devices -l List of devices attached 013db356 device usb:336723968X product:OnePlus6T model:ONEPLUS_A6010 device:OnePlus6T transport_id:9 ```

On the device I've enabled "Remote debugging via USB". But when I click on "Enable USB Devices" button, nothing happens. I can see only "Updating..." message, then "Disabled" again.

Also no devices in the devices list, because USB Devices are disabled. "Refresh devices" does not make any changes.

Yesterday I had Picture-In-Picture (shortened into pip for next mentions) working on youtube, then after one day, PIP no longer works on any of the websites, including youtube. I tried disabling and enabling pip, entering troubleshoot mode, and none of them worked. Not reinstalling because it will be annoying to log in everywhere I've had account at.

Any solution?

Firefox list all my stored insecure passwords. How could I remove all (+700) insecure passwords? Not one by one but all together?

Thanks.

btw this solution is not working

Yes, you can - only since the update to Firefox version 73 the extension "xul" has been changed to "xhtml", so now you will have to enter this in the address bar :

chrome://passwordmgr/content/passwordManager.xhtml

Since this address give me error

I've been doing this sort of exercise for some time, but I want to verify exactly which files and folders I can confidently transfer from one profile to a new or an already established profile without causing unexpected issues.

According to Recovering important data from an old profile , these are the files that can be moved:

places.sqlite favicons.sqlite key4.db logins.json permissions.sqlite search.json.mozlz4 persdict.dat formhistory.sqlite cookies.sqlite cert9.db handlers.json

I also include:

The "sessionstore-backups" folder sessionCheckpoints.json sessionstore.jsonlz4

Here's the list I need feedback for:

The "settings" FOLDER

activity-stream.discovery_stream.json activity-stream.topstories.json AlternateServices.txt autofill-profiles.json blocklist.xml broadcast-listeners.json cert9.db compatibility.ini containers.json content-prefs.sqlite notificationstore.json pkcs11.txt protections.sqlite SecurityPreloadState.txt serviceworker.txt signedInUser.json SiteSecurityServiceState.txt targeting.snapshot.json Telemetry.FailedProfileLocks.txt Telemetry.ShutdownTime.txt times.json webappsstore.sqlite xulstore.json

Please also let me know if any other folders are ok to relocate as well.

One of the most fundamental and necessary functions in a window-based GUI is the ability to tell, at a glance, which is the active window.

Firefox seemingly dropped this essential functionality over a year ago.

When I saw the new colours in today's update, I thought, "finally, they've come to their senses." But apparently not.

How can I force Firefox to look clearly different when it's the active window versus an inactive window?

Please! Anything to make this work the way it should!

(Anticipating that many people might say, "everyone's doing it now," I'd like to point out that just because something is a popular trend does not make it good. Just look at Britain's revolving door of Prime Ministers right now. This particular trend in GUI implementation is a total disaster!)

I have to use a Power BI dashboard/report as part of my job. One of the dashboard pages, the left hand side of the report are tables that are linked to a calendar widget on the right hand side of the page. Clicking on the items in the calendar should filter the tables to show only items related to the calendar item, but this doesnt work.

The functionality works in Edge.

Two months I posted about [[this problem|https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/form-history-control/]] on Reddit where I close out of Reddit post drafts before hitting post and I can't recover them. I still have this problem and I accidentally closed out a tab last night. Fortunately on that post I got a [[suggestion|https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/wzzgkm/comment/im7ibld/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3]] to use the [[Form History Control extension|https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/form-history-control/]] which I tested and works well, but ideally I would like a way for Firefox to ask me before closing Reddit tabs (and other websites) with unsaved changes.

I am changing my email addresses and will eventually delete the email address I initially opened my FF account with. Recently I added my new email address and set it as the primary email address for my FF account. I noticed thereafter that all my bookmarks were gone. I reverted my primary email address to the original one and all the bookmarks returned. How can I retain my bookmarks whilst updating my primary email address? Also, will other settings and features disappear when changing the primary email address? (I noticed that my add-ons remained the same.) Thanks.

I created a Firefox Account yesterday and immediately unsubscribed from all Email Alerts.

Today I received another Email from Firefox titled 'Superpower #2: protect your whole device with a VPN'

I have yet again unsubscribed from all Email Alerts using the same methods as before, provided in the Email.

How do I ensure that Firefox do not email me regarding anything? I like to setup block lists as a last resort.

I want to use my tablet for writing/drawing on some websites but the browser doesn't recognize the device. It computes the mouse on the "drawing" screen but not the tablet, and also computes using the pen for clicking and dragging, and/or the tablet as a touch-pad. The device works fine on chrome and on my drawing softwares, so it isn't a problem with the pressure sensors or driver. Tested disabling all addons and restarting Mozilla, but the problem remains. Mozilla is up to date, and I use W10 (also up to date).

Any advice?

I don't want to login to Zillow, etc., every time I open the website and I have set my Mail app as the default app in "preferences" yet it persists.
