Hello,

I installed 2 different versions of Firefox (80.0.1 and 77.01) and created 3 different profiles in each installation

The issue is FF stores all the different profiles data in single "profiles.ini" file (which is created by first installation of firefox) whereas as per Firefox documentation It should have created 2 different profiles.ini for 2 different version of firefox which is actually good for privacy reason.

OS is: Win 10 (64bit)

Please let me know how to resolve this issue?

Thanks in advance!

Hi. I use Duck Duck Go as my browser, but I've found that Firefox often sets my browser to Bing. It will do this for my search bar, and my home page. I'm fed up of changing it back! Devs, if you are listening - stop it! It makes Firefox feel like malware, and I am slowly but surely losing interest in what was once my go-to recomended browser. I repeat: I AM NOT INTERESTED. I don't want Bing! It can go screw itself with a red hot poker!

Firefox icon is seen on desktop, but is not seen on task bar. If clicked on blank icon on task bar, Firefox is loaded. Therefor firefox is on the task bar, but can not be viewed. Tried dragging Icon from desktop to bar, with no success. Tried deleting firefox and renstalling, same issue.

Hello;

Is the sync firefox account to be used only on 2 computers, e.g. part at work, part at home? and not e.g. to recover data after reconfiguring / setting up a new computer?

I forgot my computer to work, I had to reset my password because I haven't typed it in a long time; I don't have the passwords, I don't have any installed plugins, I don't have any browsing history;

if he knew I wouldn't be able to access to my data, I wouldn't have set up this account, because it gave me the illusion that in such a situation I would be able to continue working where I finished

Did I misjudge the features of this account? And after starting the computer on which I work every day I will have access to passwords or will they be erased there as well? If they are to be erased - is it better to make a copy of all passwords, history, etc. before connecting the computer to the network ?

Kind regards Norbert

So i formated my laptop and before i did i sync my bookmarks/passwords etc. AFter the format i log in again in my firefox account and nothing is synced and everything is lost

Hello,

In settings "open newtab with" gives only options of either "blank page" or "firefox home". I want the new tab to open with "yahoo". How do I set that? Why is firefox forcing us to use only the firefox for new tabs?

I am using firefox 80 version and i tried installing certificates through certutil in cert9.db but certificates are not getting installed. i tried with older version but still certificates are not installed.But when i tried installing through command prompt certificates are installed.what is the possible reason?(i am using windows 10).

Earlier, you could quickly close all tabs that I was done using by keyboard shortcuts 'Right Click' on Tab > 'i' > Enter This was a quick and very often used shortcut to close tabs to the right. Likewise for the 'Close other tabs' option.

But it's now moved inside a 'Close Multiple Tabs' menu. And this menu does not have a unique keyboard shortcut. It has M, which is also the shortcut for mute tab. So now when one needs to close tabs, it becomes 'Right Click' on Tab > 'm' > 'm' > Enter > Enter

Could this be changed so that either the keyboard shortcut for Close Multiple Tabs is not 'm', or that the close tabs options appear in the main menu on right click?

I have no time to kill all these unnecessary things! I can't find any needed bookmark in this avalanche! My work makes me visit a lot of pages every day and now I am absolutely buried in this ocean of urls that I had to visit only once. The disaster happened after the upgrade to 80.0.1 (64 bit). I tried to forbid Highlighted and Top Sites and use Pocket for the bookmarks I need but it is awfully uncomfortable. What am I to do?

1-2 weeks ago tabs just randomly started to crash, it happens when i am trying to create new tab. after that, adblock extension in the toolbar stops working and buttons do not respond as shown on the screenshot 2. the problem was both on the old version of the add-on and remained after the update of the add-on. on the 3rd screenshot shows how it supposed to work.

Hello,

IT support wiped my browser history on Laptop A. I also have Laptop B, which hasn't been used in a couple of weeks, and which is connected to Laptop A through Sync. Ideally I'd like to import the history from Laptop B to Laptop A, as this would be an almost total restore.

Laptop A losing its history is the most recent activity though, and I'm worried that as soon as I open Firefox on Laptop B, Sync will overwrite B's history with the (now blank) history from A.

So, is it possible to get B's data onto A through Sync, without A wiping B? Can I generate a backup from B through other means without Sync overwriting it?

Many thanks,

Charlotte

Hi,

since about a week or 2, Firefox is extremely slow, the page loading times are atrocious and I am out of ideas. When I compare to chrome or edge, we are talking about anywhre from 2x to5x+ slower page loading times. It happens on any page I open. I never had this issue before and have been using FF for many years.

Technicals: Firefox v. 80.0.1 (64-bit), OS Windows 10, all updates installed. Extensions i use in FF: Duckduckgo Privacy Essentials, Facebook container, Google Translator, image search options, VLC, ublock origin, Web Developer & Reddit enhancment suite.

What I already tried: log out and in and re-sync, clear data & cache, Private mode, Firefox refresh.

Hope someone can help,

hello, if I mark any text in a browser window and use the context menu (using right mouse button) "google search" the result is opened in a new tab. But I would prefer a new window. No posibilities in FF-Settings, nor does Google setting "new window" work. Any suggestions? tks
