Firefox Community Forum

Hi,

I am managing some linux servers in schools.

Actualy a lot of users are working with firefox.

Depending on how the user is working with firefox, the profil may reclaims a lot of disk space.

Is there a tool working like :

firefox_cleaning_tool /path_of_profile /options xxx

with some options like : cache / etc...

For exemple : the tool flushes profiles caches files and user have no action to do to continue using firefox as usual

this kind of tool should run every month (ie with crontab)

Is there a way to do that ?

I can manual flush some folders contents but I am afraid to do mistakes.

Thanks for your help

windows 10 firefox was attacked by a scammer which declared that any attempt to shut down would cause problems. so i reloaded with some difficulty and subsequently the highlight function is blocking my screen

For several weeks now, I have been unable to upload videos to a group in Facebook using Firefox. Previously, I posted a video almost daily. The loading wheel keeps spinning. This in Windows 11 Pro version 24H2 with Firefox 135.0 (64 bits).

I just set up my Laptop, and now I`m trying to bring my old Profile in, no chance The picture annected is the last, I see, then nothing more. Furthermore: look, please, on the second, no possibility to find my emails and so

I'm 70 years old and somehow yesterday I pushed a botton that closed out my dashlane password saver and I nned help getting normal settings back please. I can't get into emails etc. Please call me at [edited from community support forum]

turned on firefox today to find it had been updated. new page proudly p[roclaims that i can now edit pdf's in firefox, which is great because i want to be able to collate pdf files. i walked away from adobe years ago because they're just as evil as google-

but the 'try it now' link opens a page that is just an image of a form that looks like a joke [?] a letter to [fill out?] that seems dumb and a waste of time: https://assets.mozilla.net/wnp135-en/wnp-fx135-en.pdf

was i silly to expect seeing a privacy-assured web application to upload pdf's and edit them?

but this page does nothing, one can do nothing with it at all. was it supposed to be something one can actually type into the fields? if so, didn't anybody at mozilla test it first?

what is this?

I have two issues. One is on register.com. I can go their home page but when I select login, I get taken to a blank page; nothing. Yet, on my laptop, and with Firefox, I can login just fine as I can with MS Edge on this computer.

The other issue is with the Puzzle page of USA TODAY NEWSPAPER. I have included a page explaining the issue and with pictures.

I can not get into my Yahoo Email account. When I log in it says, "Something's gone wrong".

I can get into my Email through a different browser on the same computer. This started last 

Wednesday (01-29) or Thursday (01-30). Help.

Thank you for your time. Tony S.

Need to know how to get my profile data reloaded into new version after upgrading.

• New version does not support previous version profile data format
• App startup or firefox -P in windows 10 says "Old formats are corrupted when used, create a new profile or Exit".
• The profile data and folders and files are there from before the upgrade today, but Firefox does not read or support its own file formats. Examining SQLite places File format says SQLite 3 in header.

• Would have been good to know before upgrading, especially as often as it prompts to do so that the key data format for a profile is not supported after upgrading.

• The upgrade does not migrate, move, prompt or even warn. Just steam rolls and assumes you know Firefox's support-ability limitations and choices of its own products before running.

• No information on how to get around "Old profile scan corrupt, create a new one" message on browser startup and get back to or import all my browser info (Bookmarks, Passwords, Cookies). Just tips on how to export or backup before upgrading (See "a" above)

I own a website (chendersceramics.com) that I created several years ago and have always been able to visit without a problem. Today I got the message Secure Connection Failed and the site won't open. The error is Error code: SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP. I haven't done anything to change the website recently, so why is this happening and how can it be fixed?

Thanks, Carol

After the last Firefox update I was signed out of my Mozilla account. When I went to sign back in my password wouldn't work. So I Forgot Passworded it and when I signed back in none of my passwords or account info is there. Why did this happen and how do I access my previous account info.

Thanks!

I've tried installing firefox on Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) but am having issues starting firefox. Steps I took to get the error (following [installation guide for local user] Local Firefox installation in user's account : 1. Download firefox tar file 2. Extract contents `tar xjf firefox-*.tar.bz2` 3. Add the new path to PATH 4. Run firefox I get the error "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible."

Steps I took to try to resolve this: 1. Move old ~/.mozilla to ~/.mozilla_backup 2. Ensure appropriate permissions for all directories in ~/.mozilla 3. Play around with profiles.ini in the ~/.mozilla/firefox directory. (created new .ini file with fake content and associated directories/files)

None of the above steps work. In fact, even commands like `firefox -P` give the same error. Any help will be appreciated please.
