I did a Windows 10 reset which wiped my Firefox browser. Now I can download the Firefox installation app, but when I try to install it I get the error message below. Can anyone help?

I know I can create two tabs on startup by using the URL's separated with a "|" using Home custom but I want to keep the standard Firefox (Default) page as tab 1 and add the additional URL's. How do I do that?

I'm running Firefox 88.0.1 on a Windows 7 desktop and a Mac OS 10.14.6 laptop. After syncing the bookmarks on both machines for the first time, the Mac can no longer save new bookmarks or edit old ones. The PC, on the other hand, is fine. I don't know if something went awry during the sync process or if this problem has nothing to do with that, but the timing is suspicious.

I tried disconnecting the Mac and PC, turning off sync, and restarting Firefox, but that didn't solve the problem. Then I ran the Verify Integrity check on the Mac and got this result:

Another possible issue is that I recently installed the following extensions on the Mac: Disconnect, Facebook Container, HTTPS Everywhere, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin. The PC already runs all those extensions except for HTTPS Everywhere. I also just installed Bitdefender antivirus on the Mac. I've been using Bitdefender on the PC for years with no issues.

Any thoughts on what I should do next? Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

I hope to find out how I can use bookmarks easier. Is there a way to bring up a list of all my bookmarks with only 1 click of the mouse? Right now when I hit the small star icon it then makes me click 1 of several choices. It would be much more convenient to need only 1 click to open the entire list. Secondly I want to arrange permanently the bookmarks in alphabetical order but even if I do this successfully the next time I open the bookmark list they are not in order. This happens every time I try to fix it. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

On screen keyboard not working when using Firefox. It will work with MS Edge, but not Firefox. It flashes then disappears quickly when in Firefox. It worked previously, but a few months ago it quit working.

I have the DuckDuckGo (DDG) shortcut icon on my Windows 10 taskbar. Firefox is my default browser. When I click on the DDG icon, DDG opens in Edge. What do I do to have DDG open in Firefox? I set DDG as the default search engine in Firefox but, for me, it's more straightforward to click on the DDG icon (and I want to get rid of Edge COMPLETELY).

Recently I have noticed that where there are drop down lists on websites I visit the drop down function no longer works properly if I am using the Firefox browser. If I click on the arrow in a drop down list box the list briefly appears then disappears almost immediately making impossible to select an option from that list. I don't have this problem if I use any other browser like Safari and the drop down list function used to work on Firefox, so presumably this is a bug unless there is something in preferences that needs changing. I am using v88.0.1 on mac OS Sierra 10.12.6. Any help wud be appreciated

Hello Support Team,

I use ubuntun 18 and firefox 88.0.1

Thanks.

I downloaded and installed the firefox app and nothing happens. No menu. No tabs. The word "firefox" appears in the upper left corner of my screen and a "." appears under the app, indicating that it is open. The screen "blinked" momentarily when I opened the app. I am a longtime user of Firefox and this same thing happened this morning when I opened the app, which I uninstalled, and then downloaded and installed this new app. Same problem.

On my old computer, the Firefox tabs were on a different line/row than the bookmarks toolbar. Now they are both in the same row and I cannot find any instructions on how to make them two different rows (tab row on top and bookmark toolbar underneath).

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

A week ago, a bad update download trashed Windows 10. I had the operating system reloaded but have been unable to recover my Firefox profiles. (Nor my Thunderbird profiles either.) I downloaded the older profiles from my Carbonite account, but even tho they are in the Profiles directory, the Firefox profiles manager does not recognize them (i.e. they don't show up in the listing of profiles.) It's really frustrating since I need my bookmarks for work. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

My recollection is that when I used to want to reassign a bookmark to a different folder, I just brought up the bookmarked page and used the ctrl+D shortcut to add it to the new folder--and the old bookmark was gone. Now it seems that when I do that, the old bookmark remains, so that I now have the same page bookmarked in two places. Is this a change I was not aware of? Is there a different procedure to move (rather than duplicate) the bookmark?

Hi, I'm running Firefox on Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS Gnome Version 336.38. For at least one month now Firefox has stopped working. When I start Firefox normaly (or in the tor-browser bundle) the Firefox-Window opens but no page is loaded. No matter what page I navigate to, nothing happens. I can't even open the firefox settings. I updadet from the normal version to 89.0 but still nothing working. Anyone got any ideas?

Hello community, would anyone kindly help me with this issue I'm facing? How do I export Logins and Passwords on Firefox running 78.10.1esr (64-bit) on a Mac. The export funtion is not available here and I know the this option is only available on 79 and after, but I'm using a mid 2012 Mac Pro running 78.10.1esr. Is there any way I could still export the logins?

Thank you kindly.

Hi, I need to use alt+scroll to zoom in and out on a website I use regularly. However, often, I will use alt+scroll to zoom out and end up leaving the session as firefox backs out to the previous page. This means that I have to spend a long time logging back in and loading my page.

I have tried shortkeys, but it doesn't seem to support modifying shortcuts using the scroll wheel.

How can I disable this shortcut?

Thank you.

I have a Windows XP machine kept solely to run those applications that wont run under Windows 10, and there are several.

It has a hardware switch that removes access to my network and is only connected briefly to print to my network printer then disconnected as the default. It does allow access to the Internet but that is only ever to one particular site, nominally once per year.

One program requires a yearly update to an internal text file from its parent organization. Previously all I had to do was briefly connect to my network access that file from that organization using the Firefox version on the XP machine to download that file directly to the program that needs it.

I tried that this week May 2021 only to receive an error message from somewhere to "Try Internet Explorer".

I have a workaround solution involving my W10 machine and a thumb drive to transfer that 1K text file manually, but the process of direct transfer to the XP machine used to work, and is much more convenient.

What has changed, such that the Firefox version on the XP machine no longer works?

Ideas please.
