when i updated linux a newer firefox version was installed but none of my personal settings, passwords or bookmarks installed onto the new firefox version. can't access my previous profil on my computer

I'm trying to add the world cup tracker to my home screen, but when i click the link, it just puts me in my new tab page with no changes. When I click the pencil edit icon, widgets are not an option for me. Is there a place I need to enable them?

Hello,

Since this morning, I haven't been able to access Bsky on my laptop because of a supposed HSTS risk, which means I can't add an exception to visit it. I use Firefox on my Android and going to the mobile version of the website lets me in no problem, so I assume there's an issue with my laptop.

I'd usually wait a few days and let it solve itself but just in case it's something on my end, I'd like to solve it! I'm on 151.0.4 (64-bit), don't use a VPN or an anti-virus, I have a couple of privacy add-ons but they've been here forever and they've never caused a fuss. I can post a screenshot of the error code and the certificate it sends me if it's any help.

I'd appreciate any pointers! Thanks!

I have [[created a backup file|https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-backup#w_protect-your-sensitive-data-with-a-password]] today with the latest available Firefox and switched to a new OS. Sadly, the backup file somehow seems to have gotten damaged, even if Firefox still recognizes when I'm inputting the wrong password. On Ubuntu, where I originally created the backup and where I tested it again after things weren't working out, Firefox tells me that there is an issue with the file and that I should try a different one (which I don't have). On CachyOS, which I'm currently testing out, restoring the backup never finishes and Firefox doesn't exit cleanly. In hindsight I obviously should 1) have tested the backup immediately, 2) not have wiped my laptop prematurely, and 3) have backed up the folders manually, but I haven't. Now the question: is there some way to extract the account details from the .html file? I don't care much about the rest, but restoring the accounts in some other fashion is gonna be a lot of work.

Hello,

I like how easily I can access bookmarks, tabs from other devices, and the chatbot from the "Tools" bar on the sidebar, but it becomes inaccessible after enabling "Expand sidebar on hover".

See images attached showing before and after enabling "on hover".

Am I missing something? Is there a workaround?

Thank you.

I am unable to access even my regular haunts, quite often lately. Sometimes I'm able to access the site by taking Enhanced Tracking Protection off, but oftentimes not. I need to use Edge!!! And I get the message "The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem." I have gotten that message AT BANKING SITES. It's become too annoying. Tried adding exceptions, to no avail.

With the new organization of Settings, my list of cookies has disappeared. I was trying to delete cookies from a specific site, but when I go to that option in "settings," there is no list of cookies.

I have tried restarting both Firefox and my computer and the list is still missing.

Any suggestions on getting it back?

I am trying to get Russian language spellchecked.

I went to this url: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/russian-ru-language-pack/, installed the pack. Re-opened the browser. But nothing seemed to changed.

I use English locale.

I just downloaded the latest FF having had an old account. Working fine but I continually get a message that I am on windows 10, which is wrong. I am on Windows 11. The message has worn out its welcome. Is there a way to fix this.

FF is offering up possible login names for a particular site I have used previously even though I have removed all related browsing history, form data, and cookies (and cleared the cache). What am I missing? Is it using stored history for unrelated sites to guess at a user name, or is there some other hidden history I need to clear?

Hello, I am facing a very strange and frustrating issue with my website https://biografieblick.de/, and it is only happening on the firefox browser other browsers like chrome, edge or safari are loading the site perfectly fine. The Issue is it occurs occasionally, Yeahh IDK why. When I try to visit my site, Firefox gets stuck on a screen that says "Checking if the site connection is secure" and it looks like an loop sometimes.

This looks exactly like a cloudflare turnstile loop but I am NOT using cloudflare. I have double checked my DNS records and explicitly confirmed this with my web hosting provider. This block only triggers when using firefox.

Since the latest version (152.0), right clicking on a file link, select Save As... and with the popup with the filename and saving location being OK just hitting <Enter> doesn't do anything anymore. I now have to specifically click the "Save" button (or use <Alt>+S) to get my file saved. This is highly annoying as my muscle memory gets in the way all the time. Please get the original behavior back. Just found out the same behavior is with file upload.

My Firefox is set to auto-update and did so Wednesday night, so it's currently 152.0.1 (64-bit). Since then, it’s been virtually unusable on my home computer (a 2017 iMac Intel Core i5 running Ventura 13.7.8).

I’ve changed nothing about the way I browse, yet having multiple tabs open at a time makes the application either non-responsive and I have to force quit or makes it crash (from today: bp-3c95c176-fde2-40e4-a61c-c5c080260619 bp-7ebe2fc9-0be2-4db2-b0e3-675df0260619 bp-bfe86698-eaf0-4cd2-96c3-ed20b0260619

It crashed four times yesterday as well, but I inadvertently submitted ALL previously un-submitted crashes, so I'd have to dig through to find ones from June 18th).

I can't get most websites to load. I cleared all my browsing data this afternoon in the hopes that it would help, but now I'm having trouble logging into sites like Facebook, Instagram, etc.

Videos on any platform will not load, let alone play. Instagram, YouTube, Peacock (which I think was having an outage last night), Twitter, BlueSky, etc. YouTube BRIEFLY loaded and played a video last night but there was no audio. I tried searching a word’s pronunciation in Google, no audio. It will not play audio on any music sites (SoundCloud and Bandcamp; they both show that the music is playing, but the indicator bars do not move on either site, and again, no audio).

I believe this is an update issue because work computer (MacBook Air, 2017 running Monterey 12.7.6) is using Firefox 151.0.1 and everything is working as normal there (fortunately I leave Firefox open all the time on that computer so it hasn't auto-updated). It had also been running fine BEFORE the update.

Any ideas on a fix?
