Hello, After the last MacBook Pro M4 update my tabs keep disappearing. This is quite ANNOYING as I use ALL my tabs. Plus when I go to HISTORY there is NO Restore Previous session...so I am losing EVERYTHING. Do I just need to go out to another browser and make them my default? I can find NO help when I go out to your support for my problem. Thank you, Patty

/edit: moved thread from Firefox for iOS (for iPhone/iPad) to Firefox section as you have macOS.

Need to install Firefox ESR. If I overwrite my current version of Firefox (115.0.3), will my bookmarks, passwords, and windows and tabs all be saved? Never had an issue before with installing updates . . . but just want to be sure.

Thanks!

OS: Mac OS Mojave (10.14.5)

I was just wondering, if its possible to either hide or change the position if the star/bookmark this tab button? I use the button a lot, and it would benefit me greatly, if i could simply move it to the other side of the search bar

I had an issue today , after organizing my [main] Firefox on desktop PC at home , and then once i was satisfied with the [theme] installed with the organized bookmarks and the separators and whatnot and everything was how i wanted it to be.

And then i went to the sync on my laptop clicked sync now, it did the below - removed the [theme] from main [desktop] , and put the theme(old) from laptop....... which is what i don't want - Copied what i had done organized from [main] desktop Firefox which is good , AND also copied the deleted bookmarks from main [desktop] which is what i went through the hassle of deleting.... it did copy the organized version yes, but it also included what laptop had and just put them all together instead of just syncing exactly what is on main [desktop]

So my question is, is there a way we can make the Desktop PC to be like the [Lead] and other devices [follower] ? i dont know how to explain it but system-wise its like the other devices will follow what any update is done on the [main] one

I use Firefox about 100% of the time. It has started to block my ability to log into accounts--first it started with Consumer Cellular and now it is doing it with LL Bean MC. But, I can go to another browser and log in easily. I am not sure what to look for to find out what is causing this. Suggestions?

Hi all. I recently had a terminal problem on my Win 10 computer so have bought a new Win 11 machine. I ran Firefox on the old Win 10, had 5 email accounts, had about 12 local folders and had my Profile stored in a folder on the desktop. The folder was moved there some years ago but don 't remember how I did it. I moved it there because this folder gets backed up every night.

So, I have managed to remove the HDD from my old machine and have located the 'old' profile folder. I now need to re-install Firefox on the new machine and match it up to my old profile folder (I think...)

Any advice on how to do that?

Regards

Steve

Hello everyone,

I recently reinstalled my Linux system, Parrot OS, which comes with Mozilla Firefox. Unfortunately, I forgot my Firefox password, which forced me to reset it to log in.

Since this reset, Firefox no longer loads my bookmarks, extensions, or saved accounts.

Does anyone have suggestions for recovering this data? Is there a way to find my old profiles or backup files?

Thank you in advance for your help!

We apparently lost power sometime during the night. When I turned on the monitor and opened FF, I got the error message that it had crashed. As my subject line says, I lost all my tabs, the pinned ones (probably about 10) as well as the open ones (probably between 10 and 15). I also lost all my history. I can't use the 'Restore Previous Session' because it doesn't give me that option.

I've restarted Firefox and also rebooted my computer...still nothing happens. It's up to date, version 133.0. But I have no history beyond this morning. Is there any way I can recover those tabs or history?

And in my FF Settings, there's a link at the top that says "Your browser is being managed by your organization". I don't have or belong to an organization. When I click on the link it takes me to another page that says it's "Active" and there's a huge list of "Documentation" that apparently involves a lot of code. Can you please explain what all that means? Thanks so much for any help!
