Firefox Community Forum

I recently bought a new computer, and I'm trying to get everything transferred from my laptop to it. I have a Firefox account, am signed in on both devices, sync is turned on, and passwords are set to sync. I don't know how, but all of my passwords are on my new computer, but not on my laptop and I can't figure out how to get them back. Maybe I messed something up trying to get all of my tabs transferred? It wouldn't be a problem if I was completely done with my laptop, but I'm still going back and forth between the two.

Also, it seems that the passwords on my new computer aren't the most up to date, as I'm signed in to several websites on my laptop, that won't accept the passwords on my new computer.

I would really appreciate any help getting this all straightened out.

I was trying to setup 2FA on my Mozilla account on Firefox pc browser (140 version). The process completes without issues with Aegis authenticator app, I download the backup codes and I even get the email confirming the recovery phone number was added. On the Mozilla accounts page 2FA turns to enabled. (I'm on Windows11 with latest Firefox browser version)

However after a simple refresh, it turns back to disabled. I repeated the process and same thing happens. Same even on Firefox Android. What could be the issue here?

I have an older RAID system that I need to login to from a browser. Is there a way to remove the TLS 1.2 protocol for local NAS drives that are only 2 feet away but I can not connect anymore.

When adding an extension, the icon doesnt appear in the tool bar, and is not visible in the customisation menu of the tool bar. It's also impossible to take an extension icon off the tool bar (customisation menu).

Hello, I’m having trouble getting Firefox to work properly on my computer. During installation, the setup process becomes very slow, and once I manage to install it, Firefox hangs or becomes unresponsive within a few seconds after launching.

My system details:

Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit

What I’ve tried so far:

Reinstalling Firefox Running in Safe Mode Clearing profile data Disabling antivirus temporarily

None of these steps solved the problem. There are no specific error messages — the browser just freezes, and I have to close it via Task Manager.

Up until last week, I was able to get pop-up ads in Digg's Adventure. I went into the settings in Firefox and I have the pop-up ads unchecked. It still doesn't allow me to get prizes from ads. Is there something I can do to fix this? Can you help?

Something or somebody emptied my bookmarks. I tried the import/restore routine but was told that Firefox "was unable to process the backup file." I also tried System Restore without success. Can you help me? I don't want to leave Firefox, but the problem reoccurs, which is maddening and time-wasting. Thanks, Bruce Berckman

For the past several days I click on PRINT and it reads PREPARING PREVIEW . it goes on and on and never prints. I get a message from Firefox that says they are repairing some troubles?

I noticed recently, that you cannot copy and paste with the right click mouse buttons and seems to want me to use the Cntrl C and Cntrl V. Is there some way to re enable that on the mouse? It works in every other application except firefox, and I would prefer to use the mouse, as I am the most comfortable with that.

Hi.

I checked the line of "check for updates and let me choose to install them". hell no...the update installs itself with no questions asked.... Besides of that the last update installed itself 3 times and each time I had to import again the old bookmarks... not good at all. Looks as I move to another browser if this is not solved and there are enough good ones for my meeds.

I recently reinstalled Debian 13 on my workstation. This included installing Firefox-esr from the Debian repositories so the version before and after the reinstall is the same. Despite this, Firefox refused to start until I created a new profile - insisting that my profile was from an older version.

To add insult to injury, it offers a method to import data from Chromium (which I use rarely) but not from a previous Firefox profile.

Firefox Sync works so far as it goes, but not everyone wants to use it. Importing from a local profile should be easier to implement than remotely syncing - especially given that Firefox clients may not be the same on different devices.

And, of course, the initial point is that Firefox should accept a user profile when it was created by the same version. After all, when I upgrade Firefox on Debian, I'm not required to create a new profile. Why should I be forced to do it when I reinstall the same version?

Firefox created a new Profile for me during a recent update and ignored the Profile I had been using for many years.

That probably occurred because Firefox couldn't find the original Profile. I had moved it to C:\0-FFox\ to shorten the length of file names. I had been getting File-Name-Length errors, which ended after moving the Profile closer to C:\.

Now I can't access or use the original Profile. I've researched the ins and outs of Profiles but can't find a solution to this problem. I want to add my old Profile to the new Profile created by Firefox and maybe switch between the two, or maybe revert to using only the old Profile. But I can't figure out how to do that. Adding a Profile seems to imply adding a new Profile and not an old one.

I sincerely hope you can help me solve this problem!

Many thanks! Wayne
