Reset my saved passwords!
It is known that all saved logs have been lost from my computer.I'm in a panic! What happened?
Firefox
I have lost my bookmarks and don't know how to restore them.
I upgraded my virus protection and now my bookmarks have all disappeared. Is there any way to restore them. I did not back any of them up.
Can't open or close Firefox; already uninstalled, reinstalled, created new profile, deleted parent lock, etc. tried everything; many reboots, etc. what's left?!

Hi, I hope someone can help! I've tried everything.
I’m using a desktop; Dell; newer. Windows 10; 1903; plenty of speed and space left. No viruses, etc.; have done many scans (malwarebytes, adware, etc.)
For whatever reason (I think I incorrectly shut down Firefox and/or my computer, and that was the beginning of the problem), Firefox is causing lot of issues.
Won’t open or close. followed all the advice on this site.
Found out on this site to try ending Firefox in task manager; when that didn’t work; went in to and deleted parent.lock from the profile.
Then rebooted the computer; still wouldn’t open (or did once, but then had the same problem?) Tried shutting off the computer and restarting rather than rebooting many times during all this process as well.
I followed what someone said about adding the word OLD after places.sqlite. So in the original profile folder I have:
places.sqliteOLD
places.sqlite-shmOLD
places.sqlite-walOLD
that didn’t help things. Then someone said to add OLD to ‘prefs.js’
So I have:
prefs.jsOLD
prefs-1jsOLD
prefs-2.jsOLD
prefs-3.jsOLD
Etc….up to # 9; I have 9 of them
That didn’t help.
I then saved that original profile to the desktop. Uninstalled Firefox; and reinstalled it.
If you go into profile folder, it shows the original profile(‘default’) and a new one I guess it creates when you reinstall Firefox? (called ’default-release’).
I tried opening etc. with that new ‘default-release’ profile. Same issues. Again I went into task manager, to end process (sometimes works for some of the instances; but usually not all?); deleted parent.lock again. Rebooted.
Then I created a brand new profile (without going into Firefox; but following some instructions on how to create a new profile without Firefox being open).
I opened Firefox with that brand new profile (it asks me which of the 3 profiles I want to use when I went to open Firefox). I opened tabs, used it, etc. works ok; …..
BUT it won’t close or reopen! So same issues with the brand new profile!
The ‘default-release’ profile and the brand new one I created were never changed or touched; never added the word OLD to anything in there; made no changes.
So Firefox wouldn’t close; so I had to do all of the above again (try to end task in task manager; delete parent.lock, and reboot).
So now I’m at my wits end!!!
I can’t find anything left to try. : (
I hope someone can help!
Thanks!

One of the pages I regularly visit has made an interesting choice. Because all the visitors come from a known list, instead of offering a username field, a plain <select> element is used, together with a standard password field.
This means that Firefox's password manager only saves and autofills my password, meaning I have to select my name every time. That gets mildly annoying. Is there some way to add the value (either the text value or that of the value attribute) of this <select> to the username-password entry and have Firefox autofill it?
I can whip up an example website if my description isn't clear enough.
Why is a website that I use everyday is being blocked?
The website that I use everyday is now being blocked because it is not a Secure Site. Which is crazy because I just used it on Saturday.

man i wonder why in firefox forum, one cannot just post a question directly? i have to go thru several layers of whatever before i was able to finally to post this question!!
in other normal forums, once you login and go to a particular topic, right there is the big, post a question button. right in front of you!! why can't firefox do the same??? why we have to jump thru several layers!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? i'm getting the feeling mozilla doesn't want to be bothered.
PLEASE PROVIDE A "POST A QUESTION" BUTTON ON EACH FORUM TOPIC!!!!

I would like to restrict which extensions can access data / run on which web sites. For instance I would like to restrict all extensions when I am using my bank's website, I would allow add blocking on all sites but I would not allow extensions that access my data on ebay, paypal, gmail, etc. Is there a way to do this per extension and per web site?

The middle mouse wheel no longer opens a link in a new tab like it used to; now, it shows my history of previous sites visited.
I used to be able to open a new tab by clicking on a link with my middle mouse wheel. Now, it displays what the system tray's TASK VIEW icon shows.

As of the recent Firefox update 67, we've been unable to upload photos to the Facebook Marketplace, with the photos just showing the blank wheel, and nothing actually happening, no upload progress being made, etc.
In addition, we're also unable to edit posts that have already been made in buy, swap, sell groups, with the edit box simply not showing up.
After some Googling, we've updated Java to the most recent version, and checked the other plugins for updates, and there are no adblocks that are interfering with Facebook as far as we know.
Any advice or help you can give would be greatly appreciated, since we are a small business and Facebook is one of the ways we use to advertise new products and get new customers.

I think ever since the latest updates, some websites displays a different font that are so hard to read even though my settings are at default (Times New Roman, 16 and have selected "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above" on the Options). I have also tried ClearType Text Tuner. Back then, they were still normal but it's now having hiccups on the fonts, not only on one website does it happen but also on some websites.
First picture are the fonts on Firefox (it wasn't like that before) and second picture is from Chrome (although the color is too light but you can see the difference).
Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

I have done everything it has suggested in the articles. I cannot close out the firefox.exe in the taskmanger. I have tried everything!!! It will not close and I cannot use it. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it, removed all traces of firefox previously installed and the same issue is happening. I tried to delete the parent.lock but error on that too. Can someone please help me?
Keep getting message that my browser is being slowed by a web page trying to open.
Then it asks me what I want to do. I have deleted Firefox and started again but the problem comes back.
