Hello, my WIN 10 Drive got busted, meaning I can not boot with it anymore. However, with an other WIN10 drive I still can access the data. I need to save all the Firefox bookmarks before I will format the Drive and install a fresh WIN10. All the searches just tell how to backup when Firefox is open or Win is running: Press WIN Key... etc. None of them is applicable. I have I have bookmarks saved as bookmarks as well as I have a lot on the upper bar. I need them all.

Please teach me how I can back them up and restore on a fresh Firefox. In previous crashes I lost a lot of bookmarks already. ' Thank you.

Dorian

I get this error when trying to access my email using FireFox. Lately this (or a similar) error happens weekly if not every couple of days. Always first thing in the morning, too.

my email works just fine using Safari so I am at a loss.

I have tried running FF (Firefox) in safe mode, ensuring outlook.live.com is an exception to the pop up window blocker, changed default protections on outlook dot com to none from standard.... Turned off ABP, clearing cache and cookies from within FF.

it may be worth mentioning that I can still browse/access other websites while outlook produces this error, and my network settings within FF are set to use default system settings (no proxy).

I tried to log in to a website that requires access to my location. I'm using Firefox 114.02 on an iMac running Monterey 12.6.7. I was able to get in to Firefox's Location settings and now have the website listed with "Allow" noted. This was not enough, and for some time I didn't understand why. Then I discovered the Mac's System Preferences' Security and Privacy section, where Location Services are one category under Privacy. Selecting Location Services brings up a list of apps that are allowed to provide location information. For some reason, other browsers are on the list and can be turned on or off, but Firefox is not on the list of apps that can be selected as permitted. Am I missing something here? I can't find any way to add apps to the list so that they can actually be selected. Any advice?

Firefox 115.0.2 ever since i update this browser has consistently opened multiple tabs , ill get 2 3 xtra tabs and quite seriously considering seeking an attorney to extract some vigilance on Mozilla end to address this problem, Its been 2 months and NO ANSWER or fixes. Mozilla need to fire some coders and start addressing problems. I have had enough Mozilla.

I often leave Firefox open since I always have a ton of tabs open. Recently, I've noticed that if the app is not freshly open, like I've closed everything and quit and restarted the app, YouTube will not play and other media (e.g. the "how to pronounce" buttons on dictionary websites) just loads forever. Firefox did not previously have this issue and I could easily have 30+ tabs open and play media on a stale browser session.

I must have had an old account (that I never used) with a now NON EXISTENT email address - [edited] @peaceofmind-nm.com

I nolonger have that email address nor access to it.

My new email address is [edited] @gmail.com and that is how I established my new AirBnB account but your settings will not let me add my phone number (added my husband's but that will not work) as it says it is already in use. Can you help me with this? Need to erase old account so I can properly set up new account with my phone number but can't respond from the peaceofmind email address!

While opening LinkedIn the Firefox browser immediately crashes . Happening since 2 weeks. Observed after upgrading my IOS update : Ventura OS . The same issue happens even in extensions disabled mode. Firefox update is upto date.

Firefox gives the following message on screens where news sites want to show for example a news clip "THEOplayer workers could not be loaded. Please check that the worker's version matches THEOplayer's version 5.1.0". Can this be solved? Or do I need to use Chrome instead?

Example of a place this happens https://www.expressen.se/tv/nyheter/miljogruppen-far-smaka-egen-medicin-igen-/

Although using "delete" or "shift + delete" removes a search suggestion in the address bar at the time of entry, the search suggestion returns the next time you have to enter the field. How can you permanently delete a search suggestion, which is to say, how can you delete or clear the file where the search suggestion data resides?

Firefox will not run: Ventura Mac user: Firefox user for years: also Cannot open financial institutions webpage: had to go to Safari. Trying to find human support: have delated and reloaded FF: removed all adblocks VPN etc. Any leads?

Well done Firefox team.

I got a notification this morning telling me I could update Firefox to the latest version and I had nothing urgent so I did.

Imagine my suprise when all my bookmarks, my passwords and logins appeared to have disappeared. Well, not just "appeared", since I can't find them anywhere on my machine right now.

I've been using Sync for years and when I finally managed to connect (because apparently the password I had been using was wrong ? But did FF tell me ? No ...), I discovered nothing had been saved. Ever.

A really nice morning.

I've been watching and following along with a Unreal Engine 4 Course on Youtube for some time now (mentioning in case the resource usage has something to do with it), and in the past couple days I've noticed a pretty serious and annoying bug. When I pause the video, tab (Cmd + Tab on MacOS) into Unreal Engine, do some things, then tab back and resume the video, it will play for one frame and then stop and buffer, but the audio will continue playing. The only way to get the video to resume is to skip forward/backward in the video (either with the arrow keys or the progress bar). I've also tried Troubleshooting/Safe mode and the issue still persits.

I've encountered this on several web sites; I'm unable to paste text into textareas that are controlled by CKEditor. If I try a different browser (Safari) on the same web site, paste works without an issue. I see no error messages, but simply when I paste nothing happens. It's happened to me in Firefox on two completely different web sites that are unrelated, and probably using different versions of CKEditor (the buttons have a different look).

I'm using a video as the background for my website, and Firefox's built-in PIP (Picture-in-Picture) icon for videos is displaying. I don't want it to be visible on my website. I tried using FFmpeg, but it did not work as it was mentioned by some people on Stack Overflow. I read that Firefox won't display this icon for videos in an iframe, but I don't want to use an iframe on my website. Is there any other solution?

There is one website that I have used many times over the last 15+ years to purchase items. Now when I go to that website, all I get is a 'blank white screen'. I want to access that site again. Thanks

I am visiting mymother who likes to eat in a local supermarket where they have a cafe. I paid for our meal using cash and I did not use the in store wifi and did not interact with any in store services.

I get back to my mothers apartment and open firefox to do some browsing, the first thing I see is a sponsored ad for the supermarket I have just been in.

So two questions, I understand that my phone number can become visible if I interact with a local service. But no interaction took place but they still worked out who I am and where I was. How was this done?

Secondly some financial interaction has presumably taken place between firefox and whoever controls the advertising for the supermarket. So they put out some kind of call to say "this guy has just been in our supermarket and we want to hit him with some linked content" and firefox have put up there hand and said "yep we got him right here, you pay us x and we will stick a link on his opening page"

So how does that work with firefox? so they say thay are a privacy web brower but they appear to have just sold me off to a supermarket?

I suffered a catastrophic crash and had to replace my computer, a mac. I replaced it with another mac.

Because the older one will not boot up, I could not migrate my firefox data.

I ended up doing 'lost password' for all my sites.

There are a couple where the lost password thing hasn't worked.

It occurred to me to rename the (new computer's) logins.json file, copy the old computer's logins.json file from my external backup drive, put it in new computer's /user/library/application support/firefox, and then look in preferences, get the two passwords I want, set things back, enter these passwords into firefox again.

This did not work. In fact, now no matter which file is named logins.json, preferences says I have NO passwords stored.

I cannot find anything that tells me how to just decrypt the .json files (at least, not in a step-by-step way that I can use.)
