Firefox Support Forum

cant find how to add another account, every help thing i find seems to be outdated. i have multiple accounts i use on chrome, and want to move some to here, but i need help finding how

When I try to install Firefox on my Steam Deck (Which came with the installer). It doesn't open. It just says "Cound not open appstream://org.mozilla.firefox because it was not found in any available software repositories.

Please report this issue to the packagers of your distribution." It shows it every time I open the installer ever since I got the thing.

Hi all,

On your latest install Firefox 108.0.1 my tabs have moved to the bottom of my browser near my taksbar in window 10. The tabs are not working correctly. Please fix. Thank you.

P.S. it working in firefox safe mode. The tabs show a the top of screen and you can add multiple tabs.

I'm in the process of setting up a macbook pro running macos Ventura 13.1.

I downloaded and installed firefox version 108.0.1 for macos. When I click on Firefox->settings, no window is displayed. I noticed that an entry for a settings window is added to the list of windows under the Window meu. But when I click on that entry a tick appears alongside the entry but the window itself doesn't display.

If I close all other windows, then exit firefox, then restart firefox, no windows are displayed. The single entry for settings is still in the list of windows under the Window menu and has a tick next to it, but the window won't display.

I've tried rebooting the machine and downloading/re-installing the firefox app, but that makes no difference - whatever I try, I cannot get the settings window to display.

What am I missing?

I have a new chromebook (Lenova Duet 3) I can install and use Firefox. I have had Dashlane (password keeper) working fine with Firefox for years. The Dashlane extensions work with Chrome, but I can't seem to get them to work with Frefox. The Chrome search engines choices are limited; ones that I never use with Firefox. Is there something in the Chromebook environment that limits firefox capabilities? (Am I looking for something that just is not possible?) Is there a work around? (Any Linux tricks?) I also have asked the same question of Dashlane, but have not heard back yet. My imperfect solution is use Chrome when it is a known website, and the password is recorded with Dashlane, and to use Firefox for new searches, where the choice of search engines is better.

Has anyone developed a search engine where there are no "sponsored" results. I understand that it would probably not be free.

I have downloaded and installed Mozilla Firefox on a new computer through the Edge browser both from the Mozilla site and through the Microsoft store. The installation downloads and installs as it should. Firefox has been selected as the default browser and everything appears as it should. When I open Firefox and type in an address, nothing populates. No site will open on the screen. When I open settings in Firefox, nothing opens. When I open history, it shows that I have been to the sites that I have loaded even though they haven't shown on the browser. I have completely uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it with the same result. I have downloaded Opera browser and it installs correctly, I have downloaded and installed Firefox from Opera and had the same result. Any ideas?

Thanks, John

I'm trying to import my login data from chrome over to firefox as I'm switching browsers, but whenever I try to, it says that it has succesfully transported the files even though it hasn't. My bookmarks transfer over just fine, but my passwords don't. I have tried making a new profile and deleting the old one, going to about:config and changing signon.management.page.fileImport.enabled to true, but it still didn't work. I also tried deleting the files in firefox that store the passwords and trying again, but still nothing. I feel like I'm out of options, can anybody help here? And yes, chrome is closed

How do I remove the annoying IronVest pop up that displays every time I try to log into an account. It must have somehow attached to my browser without permission. I won't be subscribing to them and I can't locate where to delete them. Thank you for your support.

I have developed some training with html canvas. The target classroom PCs have no internet connection. I loaded the standard Firefox file on a portable hard drive, but when I go to load it on the classroom PCs it attempts to connect to the internet. Is there an offline version?

I'm not an IT pro and the solution of moving passwords from one computer to another is clear as mud, telling me to type about: config in URL. I don't what that means nor how to do it. I've opened a new tab in firefox and typed "about: config" and got "invalid URL" please help

When I use the import feature on the bookmarks bar Firefox doesn't detect the Chrome browser. I get the following message: "No programs that contain bookmarks, history or password data could be found."

So, when I switched to my new laptop few months ago after installing Firefox (Ubuntu 22.04) all my bookmarks and passwords were imported well. I just had to login to FF. Then, once again I re-installed Firefox and again managed to get all passwords and bookmarks.

Today I again re-installed FF (have some strange crashes) and after installing it and logging in bookmarks and passwords are not re-imported?!? Logged in to pocked and it works well, but FF bookmarks and passwords are just not there. It syncs, but not finding them.

Also, my settings, like my previously installed plugins are not imported at all. Just like I'm synchronizing with completely new profile.

I don't have multiple profiles.

I'm using FF as my primary browser (web developer) and both are very important to me. Please help me retrieving them back.

Why do I get this warning (when I am ready to start the VPN install):

“MozillaVPN.msi” is an executable file. Executable files may contain viruses or other malicious code that could harm your computer. Use caution when opening this file. Are you sure you want to launch “MozillaVPN.msi” ?

Hi there, after update disappeared all logins and passwords and all bookmarks.. without any warning.. How that could happen??!! I cannot believe such thing could happen at all, not to mention without any warning or any auto saving of bookmarks... How could Mozilla just delete all my bookmarks and logins and passwords.. There is no file saved and computer bin is empty.. Cool.. And it offers to import bookmarks only from Explorer or Chrome.. But Mozilla was my default browser so I have no bookmarks in Explorer or Chrome...

I can't load any web sites in Firefox on my desktp computer. On the laptop it's fine--otherwise I couldn't send this. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, and it still doesn't help.
