Firefox Community Forum

Good afternoon,

I have read in an article a statement that Primary Password encrypts all saved logins, therefore it is safer and recommended to use it. Well, I observed that it does not really matter if the password is set for the contents of logins.json, it does not change. What exactly is encrypted by Primary Password and how does it improve security?

I also tried to set the same password for different websites (I used a different mail tho) and the output in logins.json is different, which is even more confusing to me.

The output itself is kind of strange, the first part of it seems to be the same for almost all entries and looks like that: MEoEEPgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEwFAYIKoZIhvcNAwc.

Hello, and apologies in advance if I am missing something that would easily solve this problem. The other day, I was trying to open Firefox like normal and noticed my 100+ tabs were all gone. It was tough since I needed many of those for work and academic purposes, and couldn't seem to recover the window properly without having to manually click through history to get every tab back. I worked on getting these back for about an hour, and couldnt get every tab back in its entirety, unfortunately. I looked through these forums and Reddit for solutions and kept seeing that a fresh reinstall could help, so I did so. I kept getting a message saying that I had an "old version", so maybe I accidentally got an old version. I couldn't avoid the error, so I did an uninstall via Window's uninstall panel in settings. When I opened the new install of Firefox back up, all of my bookmarks are completely gone, all 11,000+ of them, in fact. Again, a lot of these are needed for future work purposes, so it's a bit frustrating that its all just kinda...gone. I tried finding backups, but the latest ones are from the reinstall, 9/13/24. I can't find a profile either that has the previous bookmarks, which is worrisome. I tried logging into Firefox on my phone- same deal. However, my history is intact, as well as all of my saved autofill passwords. I can't find old profiles from that old install (that I assume were deleted with that uninstall. Probably should have been more careful before that, since I got the impression sync would work, lol) that aren't before 9/13. I tried syncing in settings, logging in and out of my sync profile that I've had since I first got Firefox on my computer. Is there anything I can do about this? How come the bookmarks are all gone, yet the rest is just fine?

YouTube keeps putting up the add block detection when I try to play a video. Apparently they can detect Add block Plus. Kubuntu 24.04 Firefox version 130.0 [64-bit] Mozilla Firefox Snap for Ubuntu Canonical-002-10. Add block Plus version sorry I can't find that information.

I may have inadvertently changed some Firefox security setting, but don't know which one. Or, as likely, due to a recent Firefox update. I try to keep up-to-date.

Here is the link and error log from Firefox (if I copy just the link to Safari, it works fine): The resource at “https://dmt.fidelity.com/privacy/v1/b/b.rnc?n=15&c=65&i=55ti80&p=prod&s=2348&d=8ER7InZlcnNpb24iOiIxLjAuMCIsImdhdGV3YXkiOiIyLjMuNjgyIiwiY2xpZW50SWQiOjY1LCJwdWJsaXNoUGF0aCI6InByb2QiLCJpbnN0YW5jZSUAYCI1NXRpOE0A8ApwYWNrZXQiOjcsIm1vZGUiOiJlbmZvcmNlVQDwDG9va2llcyI6eyJTdHJpY3RseSBOZWNlc3Nhcn8AsDEiLCJQZXJmb3JtWQAAowDTIiwiRnVuY3Rpb25hbBEA8kZUYXJnZXRpbmcgYW5kIEFkdmVydGlzaW5nIjoiMCJ9LCJlbnZpcm9ubWVudCI6IkFsbG93ZWQgRG9tYWluIiwicmVxdWVzdHMiOlt7ImRlc3RpbmF0EwHwAmh0dHBzOi8vcGR4MS5xdWFspwCUcy5jb20vV1JREADwJlNpdGVJbnRlcmNlcHQvR3JhcGhpYy5waHA_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_gw8RBlsB8gMiZW6uBQMlBjc3NDSAAg8RBkIP-AMKDwIBXC4zOYIDCQIBDxEGQ8A0NzE4OTQ2NjB9XX0” was blocked by OpaqueResponseBlocking.

After updating Firefox to version 130.0, the on-screen keyboard no longer opens in Windows tablet mode when you click on an input field. As we use Firefox on many terminal PCs, this is an important issue for us.

A few days ago everything was fine, today my bookmarks and passwords are missing. I tried many times but it didn't work. I checked the logins, but it wasn't found, while looking, it asked for an account login. I forgot my password so I logged in with forgot password. All passwords are missing. I tried to find it but couldn't find it. Even after importing some old ones from other sites, the passwords of the last one year period were not found which is very important. Why did this problem occur and how did it occur? I'm having a lot of trouble relying on this site, and haven't found a solution yet I hope it gets fixed soon. I have lost many important password logins when I relied on this site to protect them. My request is to remove the feature of saving logins and passwords from now on. I don't know what else to try, am I missing something?

I was enjoying using firefox. It has only been 2 days since installation after which it started lagging. It lags only while scrolling pdfs, youtube. All other animations are working fine. Only problem is in scrolling it.

If I change to a new program running under Firefox, it does not respond until I delete the previously used Firefox. This is really annoying and also causes other problems. How can this be eliminated or disabled? ishaw@afrihost.co.za

This morning I saw that images were not downloading within my GMAIL messages. Believing that something was wrong with my connection, I decided to give both my computers a restart. This concerns my Windows 10 64-Bit, on which I had both Edge and Firefox opened, both with multi-tabs. In Firefox I had my Google account open with other tabs. After shutting down both computers I left my apartment. The Windows 10 restarted on its own; but both browsers lost their tabs even though I set each to reopen the previous session. With Edge and function keys I was able to restore my previous session; but not with Firefox. about:sessionrestore was not available. The Profile folder did not show a backup for these lost tabs. I hate hunting for them in History because I am working on multiple projects and don't have time for this wasteful activity, which is why I set Startup to Open Previous Windows And Tabs. What option did I miss?

Now, we have more wasted time. I reopened as many tabs as I remembered opened during the session I could not restore. Now, the only tabs that reopened since are the ones I opened that have posts about restoring sessions. The tabs I reopened are lost even though I checked off Open Previous Windows And Tabs. This browser is performing worse as of today for some reason I am not aware. What changed? From what I see here, there was no MS Windows update that might have occurred when I shut down and lost the tabs. Could I have disrupted the tabs by using the right hand, top corner "X" to shut out of Firefox?

This is getting more and more whacked up! It seems that every time I reopen a tab within the Library, it opens it in the same tab, overlaying the previous tab I opened.

Hi, for a few days now, the ability to tab from one field to another has not worked for me. This only applies to fields that have a date selection option. Text fields work normally. I have already tried refreshing the browser. I also uninstalled and reinstalled it, but it did not help.

If you could make suggestions on how to accomplish this. If you have other ideas, I would really appreciate it. I don't use cloud.

Thank you.

I have an Imac desktop. I can't send my vacation pictures to my relatives because they don't have smart phones.

What information that I can supply would be useful to help resolve the problem? I have seen the problem on both my old (ancient) Windows 10 desktop and new Windows 11 desktop. I have seen it on my Windows 11 desktop on version 129.0.2 and 130.0. I saw it first on the Windows 11 desktop as I am spending my time setting it up. But recently saw it on the Windows 10 desktop on 129.0.2. When I hover on a tab it highlights the tab (background lightens); but NO description or preview appears.

It works on both PCs when I first start Firefox.
