Multiple problems 1) bookmarks disappearing

  About 8 to 10 months ago a group of bookmarks disappeared from a bookmark file. I reloaded an exported HTML and no problems. 
 About a month ago Several groups of bookmarks disappeared over several days. A folder with say 20 bookmarks in would now have only 5. then none a day or two later. this happened across ALL but one of the default bookmark files and ones I created. I also noticed Firefox was not creating backup bookmark files so I removed Firefox, reloaded Firefox so everything was up to date and in the new I reloaded the older bookmarks HTML in the new installation.  
 Now it is happening again as of the 16th of May 2024 only this time Again no backup bookmark file are being created and Firefox is not creating manual backup file or HTLM Exports.
2)  I have gone though the Troubleshooting instructions and I am at a loss on what the issue is. I have used Firefox since the early 2000s and have never had this issue before but in the past year it has happen 3 times. 3) UNRELATED ISSUE - MAYBE- I found on the setting page at the top IS THIS NOTE -- Information Your browser is being managed by your organization.-- This is a personal computer. There is not an Organization. How do a get rid of this and does this mean someone else has access to my computer.

I made a custom theme for firefox and submitted it to AMO. It's approved, but I have no idea how to actually apply it. I don't see any option to install or use. What am I missing? How do I actually use it?

This support article is inaccurate and doesn't stop firefox from prompting for my windows 11 pin. Is there anyway to actually stop this prompt?

To set up a Passkey, it says to enter a pin, which it then says I can find and change in Settings. I can't find any of it because my Mozilla account, even though I'm not doing anything, says it has timed out. Please help me locate my PIN. Thank you

In opening email, graphics have stopped displaying automatically. What it prompts you to do, doesn't work. I had an internal tech look into it from our end, but he said it was a firefox thing. emails are in outlook microsoft edge opens the emails properly. I do not want to use microsoft Edge as my browser.

What can I do to fix it?

Thanks :)

I dislike the tab groups feature cause I accidentally group up tabs and I find it annoying. I tried to disable it from about:config (browser.tabs.groups.enabled setting), but it turns back on every time I reopen firefox. I also opted out of all grouping related features in about:studies. Still can not disable the feature. How can I proceed?

There is no way I can make my FF into a default browser and showing some old exe files from old FF's leaves me with no comprehension to do anything. I follow the three steps properly ending with the FF icon in the browser box. That does nothing - unless I need to acknowledge its done, but where do I do that?
