Hello everyone. I make backups of folder "bookmarkbackups" in Firefox profile folder, so that when I have to make a restore after a data loss (for whatever reason), I can also restore my bookmarks. I'd like to be able to restore my extensions too, and to do this it would be enough to have a backup of the list of extensions I had installed before the trouble happened. However, if I backup the subfolder "extensions" of the profile folder, I would have a list of files the name of which looks like:

FirefoxColor@mozilla.com.xpi idcac-pub@guus.ninja.xpi uBlock0@raymondhill.net.xpi vpn@proton.ch.xpi {3d92ddc3-5581-453f-ad9f-d9ea864d1f9a}.xpi {531906d3-e22f-4a6c-a102-8057b88a1a63}.xpi

..so that in most cases I cannot guess the extension name from the file name. My purpose is to install manually the extensions in the new browser installation, once I have the list of the extensions. Moreover, in that folder you find all the extensions, both the ones which were active, and the ones which were inactive... But I'd like to have a list of the active ones so that I can re-install only that ones.

Does anyone know how can I get such a list, starting from the profile folder?

Many thanks in advance.

I need a more permanent fix to the disappearing bookmarks issue when the file is in use by another entity. I have tried to fix it, read the instructions and when I start to apply the fix, the instructions disappear and now I have to depend on my faulty memory.

About two years ago, I created an account on Mozilla, and by then I'd already set up two-step authentication using the app's Authenticator. But then I had to reset Windows and lost my backup keys and other stuff. Soon after, I experimented with other browsers and forgot about Firefox (I also deleted the Firefox profile in the Authenticator app). Now I've decided to log into my account, but since I can't log in without the app, I figured there's an option to log in using the email linked to the account (I have access to it), but for some reason, they're asking me for an account recovery key. So, I know my email address and have the password for it, but I can't log into my account without the Authenticator app. To try this alternative, I need to know the account recovery key, but I've lost it too. So, I'd be very grateful if anyone knows a solution to this problem. For reference, I also logged out of my Mozilla account on other devices and I haven't received any emails related to this situation (like checking email, etc.).

Здравствуйте. Внезапно не стала работать игра. Ничего не меняла в настройках Всё работало корректно. Как обычно закрыла страницу игры, потом открыла через несколько минут и ничего не работает. вышло сообщение, что на скрине. Прошу помочь, пожалуйста. В Гугл браузере игра работает. однако. мне удобно в вашем браузеое.

My Firefox is not showing search suggestions/autocomplete when I search for a term in the search bar. First screenshot is what I see, second screenshot is from Chrome. Third screenshot is my settings.

I would like to continue using Firefox, but this is extremely infuriating.

Dear Support,

Since ages ago I've always logged into Firefox and turned on sync so whichever device I was on (or if I have formatted my PC) I would still have acces to my browser history, tabs etc. Today I've formatted my PC to switch from win 10 to win 11 and logged into firefox as usual, but after trying to Sync nothing happens. My tabs, my history, everything is empty for some reason and I cannot find my original device (the one from a few hours ago connected in win 10) in my connected devices list either.

Please help me, my whole life is in that sync :(

Best Regards, Peter

My name is Nichael and I'd appreciate assistance. I changed computers yesterday and then downloaded Firefox. I prefer the old appearance with bookmarks listed vertically in a sidebar as opposed to them listed horizontally along the top. Which setting(s) will change locations of the bookmarks to what I prefer?

Thanx in advance, Michael

No other browser or software is behaving as Firefox regarding playing a tone if I select a menu pull down or Right click on a tab etc.

The answers regarding Sounds from the internet do not correct this as I've already disabled Windows tones. This is specfic to Firefox only. I've tried shutting off extensions and restarting the browser in safe mode or troubleshoot mode. The browser still plays tones with mouse clicks. If I silence Mozilla with my windows area then I can't listen to video audio such as youtube. Toggling audio off and on is annyoing and was never necessary before. This is must be a software issue within the browser.

Why the tones have suddenly begun when they never have before is a mystery. I don't get tones anywhere else.

I can't believe Firefox doesn't have a simple toggle within it's own software. It needs one now.

i have opened my account on firefox and it has a very old version of my bookmarks, i have logged in to the same account on both computers and it isn't showing up on the new one
