Firefox-Hilfeforum

I installed the last update, my bookmarks kept being here but all my add-on, website shortcuts and firefox settings got removed. I checked the profiles to see if it was just another profile that was created but after checking each profile that was available they were all with the defaults settings without shortcuts and without add-on. I cannot recall all the add-on and websites saved so it is very important for me to recover them. What can I do?

Every time I try and download anything on the download queue it puts a yellow error symbol above the download. I've cleared all my browsing data and cache and it still will not work. Really need help. P.S. On Manjaro Linux

I lost Firefox in a Windows 10 problem, used Microsoft Edge browser for a few days then downloaded Firefox again. Are my old browser data and passwords etc. on my pc? How to reload them into the new Firefox? John

wget https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/78.10.0esr/linux-x86_64/en-US/firefox-78.10.0esr.tar.bz2 I found that the firefox binary in this compressd file is version 90.2, not 78.10.0esr. Where I can get the official release 78.10.0esr compressd file. Thank you.

1. Current environment: Windows 10 21H1, 19043.1202 2. I updated the Firefox from 91.0.2 to 92.0 by Mozilla Maintenance Service, but when I checked the Uninstall Panel, the former version 91.0.2 was found still there. Besides, though I can uninstall the older one, the latest version will crash due to its dependence on the previous one. 3. The former one should be completely overridden with no leftovers in Registry when it is updated. 4. The problem seems to have been recurring since version 90.0 . 5. Sincerely hope the problem can be fixed as soon as possible. 6. My thanks to the community for their contributions.

Following changes a few days ago at a site I regularly use I am no longer able to download .pdf files. Here is the address: https://www.science.org/doi/epdf/10.1126/science.acx8984

Is there an add-on or some other change that will let me download these files?

It looks like the webpage at https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-stub&os=win&lang=en-US&attribution_code=c291cmNlPXd3dy5iaW5nLmNvbSZtZWRpdW09cmVmZXJyYWwmY2FtcGFpZ249KG5vdCBzZXQpJmNvbnRlbnQ9KG5vdCBzZXQpJmV4cGVyaW1lbnQ9KG5vdCBzZXQpJnZhcmlhdGlvbj0obm90IHNldCkmdWE9ZWRnZSZ2aXNpdF9pZD02NTIyMDQyNjYuMTYzMTA2Nzg0MA..&attribution_sig=1d152bf88b4759e15d14874a4eae54c2f17ea53d2b0ca72600af308981b9d2ce might be having issues, or it may have moved permanently to a new web address. ERR_ADDRESS_INVALID Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have reset DNS server address, flushed, reset, and cleaned the cache in cmd prompt, even power cycled my router and modem, after turning off network settings and airplane mode. This only happens with Firefox and is preventing me from reinstalling it after having to uninstall it due to update issues.

A few hours ago I installed firefox on an old laptop, logged in, synced my bookmarks etc. Everything went fine except for that this laptop was having the default dark theme and it synced this theme with my main laptop. Now I can't find the theme that my main laptop was using.

I've tried: - Searching for it in about:addons - Searching for it in https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/themes/ in my personal profile

How do I find the theme I was using for my main laptop again? it was a default firefox theme which had purple/orange as the main colors.

'SINCE Recent UPDATE of Firefox I cannot make the program open fully.. It opens with a single SMALL Window and I have Force it to expand if I want a new Tab It Opens another window in small size and I have to expand that Window.. THIS IS A BAD UPDATE...... IF I Cannot get help this will be my LAST USE of FIREFOX....

firefox installed x2 after many years of use. have macOS...does not open after turning off Mac - this happened after a blackout but Mac was off at the time...my power backup did scream at me during the night so turned it off.

I had some kind of hard disk failure last night which completely borked windows and firefox (in fact, all my browsers, none of would even open or go online), firefox reported it lacked xpcom.

So I had to re-install windows and am trying to recover what i can.

I do have a saved profile dated yesterday but when i copy and paste its contents into firefox, it doesn't take and much of what is in the old profile doesn't even appear in the new one after pasting a total of several thousand items.

Is there any way back as I have lost over 10 years work and bookmarks?

Downloaded Firefox in Windows 10. It is listed as my default browser, however the app on startup page is Firefox installer exe. and is essentially requiring me to setup the app every time I attempt to initiate the browser. What do I need to do to be able to simply click a Firefox shortcut (like the installed Microsoft Edge)? Thanks.

I am testing FF91esr for deployment later this year. Having a lot of grief with it.

For context; On most of our PCs the profile folder is NOT in the %APPDATA% folder. It lives on a different drive, typically drive F:\

This allows us a lot of freedom to restore a users C:\ drive without messing up the Firefox profile, or losing recent information, for example. We do the same for Thunderbird and several other applications.

The profile.ini file does live in its default location and points to the relavant folder path=F:\Users\<username>\profiles\<profilename> IsRelative=0

We backup a users PC with a comprehensive script which copies the profile.ini and Profiles folder. The group policy is also backed up, and in that policy we have set to use legacy profiles.

When we build a new PC for a user we restore those backups in the hope that the user will take up where they left off. For example, their browser history will be at the point is was when they left the PC.

The whole process is pretty automated. However, with FF91esr I cannot get it to use the folder we backed up. It ignores what's in the profiles.ini file and creates a new profile in the default location, set's it as default and of course sets IsRelative=1.

I tried several combinations of things to try to stop this, but in the end the ONLY way I could get it to use the restored profile was to go to about:profiles, create a new profile, point it to the folder where the restored profile is located, restart using the new browser, then via about:profiles, delete the bogus profile (of course having set the restored profile as default).

I'm not going to sit at 250 PCs doing that. It's crazy.

How can I get FF to use the restored profile folder and stop it endlessly creating new profile folders?

So far I've only tested with clean installs of FF91esr, so this is not an issue with different versions of profiles. But I am concerned over what's going to happen when I update Firefox on a PC...
