Firefox-Hilfeforum

I'm not sure that I picked the best topic, but here goes . . .

Sadly, I used an app called CleanMyMac X and now all of my passwords, etc, that were saved in "Blur" are gone. It seems that Blur might be in a folder called "Old Firefox Data" that is now on my computer's desktop, but all of what might be Blur's data is encrypted and I don't know how to access it.

I have written to Blur, and CleanMyMac, Mail.com, Google, and others, but I only get automated answers that won't work because I can't login to anything because my passwords are not available to me.

What to do? I can't even login to FF, nor can I get the email that FF has for me.

Can I ask for answers at [removed email from public] ?

See above on Subject = inability on my laptop with Firefox provider to watch certain dramas/films on 4 due to DRM. My problem is trying to follow the instructions hitherto given. I just want to be able to access those sites with DRM overlordship getting in the way. I am an old man who is simple-minded, that is, not 18 years and adept at whizzing around laptops.

hello,

i am wondering, is there a way to automatically have my posted question emailed to me? Meaning, when i post a question here, can i choose that a copy of it be sent to me? (many other sites, such as google and ebay, have this option, and it is very helpful).

thanks!

Hello, I just upgraded my father Firefox and tried to sync his years of bookmarks and password information, but it isn't syncing on his account. can anyone help recover these? we logged into our account, but forgot the password, so we reset the password and logged back in with the new password and non of the bookmarks are coming back up? if you please please can help ! thank you

when I first start firefox, I get a Google screen with several boxes of content - I had not previously gotten this, and I don't know where it's coming from? thank you

I'd like to transfer my settings & bookmarks to my new computer & do not know how to do that. Going from an older Mac with OSX El Capitan to Mac Mini OSX Monterey. I could really use the help - thx!

I often hop between Linux distro installations, and I generally use the same hostname for a single computer when I do reinstalls. I have had a computer called 'sparrow' that I've signed into Firefox several times on across OS changes, and they all appear in the 'Send Tab to Device' menu that I use frequently. Since none of these devices exist anymore, they're completely useless.

I've gone to the Manage Devices page where you can sign out of any devices that are currently logged into my Firefox account, but clicking sign out on 'sparrow' does nothing. It stays in the menu, and no entries from the tabs menu are removed. I've tried this from all my computers.

I've thought of maybe downloading all my firefox sync data and completely recreating my Firefox account, but I'm hoping there might be a simpler fix.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Closed tabs keep reappearing, either spontaneously or on Firefox restart. Trashed the session files, emptied the trash, even restarted the computer to no avail. It will even create duplicate tabs of these same five tabs that were closed days ago. Thank you in advance for your help.

Firefox 78.15 running on mid 2007 iMac, El Capitan version 10.11.6

The DOWNLOAD POPUP always has a lag before it lets you click OK WHEN NO DEFAULT download settings for that file type are set. VERY STRANGE could make a rationale for that with .exe which CANNOT HAVE DEFAULT SAVE SETTINGS APPARENTLY? BUT ALL FILES?? That is insanity POPUP APPLICATION LAG TO CLICK OKAY WHAT IN FREAKING LUDICROUS MADNESS is that load of garbage AHA!! SOLUTION and customization options to fix that would be VERY NICE APPRECIATED FOR SURE. Thank

Like the title says, all of my logins and passwords are suddenly gone. I found a logins.json.corrupt in the profile folder, and tried renaming it to logins.json, but it didn't remember anything. Is there any way to get these passwords back? Or find out what the cause of this was? I lost some really valuable logins that I stupidly did not backup.

Very similar to posts in previous years that are archived and largely unanswered or not up-to-date.

I opened up my a Firefox session to find out I was logged out of sync and when I logged back in all my passwords where erased.

This has been stable for the last 10 months and Firefox has provided a reliable password archive with nice syncing features. However, this is a deal breaker, since I cannot loose the login credentials randomly.

No updates. No conscious logging out. No disregarding warnings etc.

Anyway to revert or retrieve?

Cant Play AmazonPrime videos on my mac desktop (its an admittedly old desktop, cant afford a new one just yet. using Firefox 78.15.0esr (64-bit).

Today, when i tried to watch a videos on Amazon Prime, im getting messages that say "WidevineCdm plugin has crashed" when i try to play.

Is it due to discontinued Flash? Are there any solutions??

thanks in advance!

Hi- I'm about to install AdBlocker and there is a permission request to “Access your data for all websites”. Does that mean personal info for credit cards, loans, etc.?

Hello.

Up till recently it was possible to have the FF scrollbar width controlled by either a GTK theme, or by various extensions that existed. Recently this is no longer possible on both Firefox and Thunderbird and we are forced to accept a pencil thin scrollbar that someone has decided is 'the thing'.

As someone who suffers from visual impairment I have found this move to be a major pain as it is now almost impossible to get 100% scrolling accuracy as I have been accustomed to since forever. I don't need super large fonts or monochrome this and that, just simply what works when one cannot see properly any more.

I can only assume that you feel that anyone who is not perfectly sighted is beneath your concern and have decided to exclude us from use of your products. This is a shame and I do suggest that you could do yourselves some good by stepping back from this highly exclusive attitude.
