I have created two profiles using the new functionality that is accessed using the "hamburger" or three horizontal lines menu. I want to open one profile at times, but the other at different times. I can only specify a default profile for initial browser start, or to have the browser make me choose each time. Either of these options mean that I have to go through extra steps to launch any profile beside the default. This effectively makes the new profiles less useful to me than the profile manager that has been around for much longer.

Searching for help online has led me to several suggestions to create shortcuts that use the -P "profile name" switch for each profile. This is out of date because the profiles I can access from the command line bear no connection to the ones I have created as described in the above paragraph. They are only the ones I have created using the (old) profile manager from the profile manager in about:settings.

Did I miss something, in other words is it possible to do something similar with the new container profiles as I can with the original config profiles?

I just bought a new PC, part by part, and used my storage devices from my old PC. I formatted the windows drive and am on a fresh installation of windows 11. I tried to log in to my mozilla account, but couldn't remember my password so I used the "Forgot password" function. When I logged in, no bookmarks or history was saved. Is it possible to restore my synced data?

So out of nowhere, I can't use the back button, or delete pages by clicking the 'x. I can't even click on the settings icon, or any icon on the menu bar. When I hover over any web page title, it shows a small window of it, but I can't get rid of it. I didn't change anything, so what's going on?

I would like to browse the archive of articles that appear with a fresh set every day on the Firefox home screen. Is the archive available? If not, can Firefox make it available for all the users? I am sure that I am not the only one interested in browsing the archive of articles and reading those that interest them.

as the title says it show a wrong font for some websites or sections which is unreadable such as Google search bar, Youtube, Facebook and behaves normally on Wikipedia Google search results(except those of youtube) - the option Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above is unchecked(which makes no difference) - noto fonts is installed - firefox is on last release from the arch repo this issue isn't present in chromium based browsers or any other software in the system - bellow are screenshots which are supposed to give a clearer idea of what the issue might be - thanks

I’ve noticed that some websites take longer to load in Firefox compared to Chrome or Edge, even with a strong internet connection. I’ve tried clearing cache and disabling extensions, but the issue persists. Is there a specific setting or troubleshooting step in Firefox that can improve page load speed?

Could you add more sorting options to the bookmarks toolbar.

My preference of listening to music on youtube has been to add the songs as bookmarks and using the bookmarks toolbar.

For long i have been irritated i could not inverse the order of them, so when i tried to tweak with it for a bit i clicked the sort by name and quickly learned there is no other controls than that. This might be kinda niche but still applys to many types of usage and i feel is pretty basic. I would like the possibility of making the the bookmark toolbar to sort invertedly from date added. I strongly think this already should be a thing and was quite shocked to learn it was so archaic.

With respect, a dedicated firefox user desperate for salvation.

Greetings ! For the last two days I have not been able to access Facebook or Amazon websites. When I use a shortcut or try to type in the URL, the display says something like using Google or such when I have my default set to Firefox ( And I confimed that it is set as such). I can click on a tab or reach anything else ok. Also, those two are accessible through Chrome or Edge ok on here and also on my phone and tablet.I have cleared cache and such multiple time and removed extensions. It is just those two sites on this device on Firefox. I think there was an update recently too.. Thanks for an assistance anyone can give. Cherry

I opened a profile that I had just used recently to a blank tab bar. I closed it and the sessionstore-backup folder did not have a recent backup, The most recent about a week old.

Just for testing, I tried to restore with one of the upgrade.jsonlz4 file, about 2 weeks old, but it also had no session. I then restored one that was 2 months old. That one had a session

Now, Firefox no longer generates the upgrade.jsonlz4 files
