Suddenly! Cannot open Firefox because of the error message: "Firefox profile missing or unavailable."

I found the profile in my Library.

Looked for internet advertised "Firefox profile manager," but could not find it. Only one I could find was obsolete.

Thank you.

since thunderbird 78 update, i can not send emails... mail for win 10 works just fine.. my cell phone works just fine with my settings password etc, but thunderbird won't... i have uninstalled and reinstalled thunderbird to no avail... i do not want to have to go over to win10 mail for my email program... please help

I had to uninstall and reinstall Firefox due to some issues, after reinstalling, sites I used to access such as Facebook or Gmail for instance, always stop to ask for username/password. The password manager has it already ready, but you have to click on it now, instead of going directly to the site. How can I change it back? Nothing seems to exist under options/password and security. Thanks

Hi all,

Although Youtube Playlist Autoplay is enabled (according to debug data), since FF 88 (or 87) OR Youtube Continuous Play plugin this feature is broken. Playlist always stops after loading next song. Changing the Player View or Youtube settings, starts the song. Weird! FF bug?

Any idea's?

I need music, John

Page action dots are missing even after I refreshed FF. Win 10 I believe refreshing FF is a bad solution because there is little notice it will wipe your settings out.

How can I open a new window when clinking a site in the dropdown from the address bar? Can I edit the sites in the address bar dropdown?

Thx, Tekkie

I am using Turbotax which says to use Firefox and even though I just downloaded the latest version, it still doesn't work with Turbotax. They say they don't recognize my browser.

Firefox (and Windows) is up to date, but this problem has existed for several versions now. I can't be sure when it started. This is on a Windows 10 PC. My normal routine is to leave several Windows and Tabs open. When left for a while, Windows turns off the screen. When I resume, I find that sound doesn't work. I check that the speakers are not Muted in Windows, I check that Windows Media Player doesn't have the sound switched off. I run Troubleshooter, which finds nothing wrong. I have to reboot the PC, to get the sound back.

Hi, I have lost the "file, edit, history, bookmark ect" I have tried to resolve this myself but all the help on the forum starts with click on the "3 vertical bars" I do not have this option, all I have is 3 dots which directs to "settings" which offers no help for the bookmark toolbar ? I have trolled the FF help pages but they all say the same thing to start with the "3 bar" icon. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've been using FF for 9yrs and have had no problems at all. Thankyou in advance.

Hi it seems that Microsoft Edge is embedded in the system it automatically opens applications and links, is there a way to completely remove the edge from my pc or at least disable it?

Disable search suggestions, predictive conversion, and suggestion features. I changed the Firefox settings, but it didn't change. I want to hide it, but I can't find a good solution.

Firefox worked fine for many months on my Dell laptop. Then, in April, I suddenly could no longer open it. I spent many hours "chatting" with Microsoft tech, and doing what she said, reloading Windows, etc. She seemed to think that Windows was interfering somehow with Firefox function, but finally, she gave up and said she didn't know how to help.

Once in a while, I can open Firefox and see its home page, but then in less than five seconds, it disappears again.

I use Windows 10 pro, version 2004. I have 64 bit system with 3.61 gb ram useable.

I have "anywhere" selected in the Windows menu that controls source of downloads.

Can anyone help?

I'll try to keep this concise as I am completely out of ideas to resolve this. I have been using Firefox without issue on my PC with Firefox sync. I have installed Firefox on my new Mac(2020 model, 32GB RAM, i7) and the performance within the browser is abysmal. Below I've tried my best to explain the symptoms. Pages are extremely slow to load(can take over 20 seconds) while I'm waiting for the page to load it stays on a blank page like about:blank for the entire time and then all of the sudden loads the page. sometimes it says "transferring data from [URL]".

Active add-ons

• Bitwarden
• BlockTube
• Clickbait Remover for YouTube
• Grammarly
• HTTPS Everywhere
• RES
• SponsorBlock
• uBlock Origin
• Ultrawidify

Troubleshooting steps

• Disabled all add-ons. This seems to somewhat resolve the issue.
• Disabled all add-ons except uBlock Origin. The issue is there
• Disabled just uBlock Origin. The issue is there
• Refresh Firefox. Issue comes back once I sync my account(bring back settings and add ons)
• Installed Firefox Nightly. Issue comes back once I sync my account
• Created new profile, added only 3 add-ons(uBlock, Bitwarden, SponsorBlock), did not sync. Issue comes back after a little while of using the browser.

At this point the only way it seems I'm able to use Firefox without issue is to have no extensions. For me, this isn't a viable option. I'd love any and all advice as i am out.

Thanks!

Okay so last year I built myself a new desktop PC around August 2020. I was using an Android smartphone prior to that and had some bookmarks on it I wanted to transfer to the desktop. I mistakenly thought it would simply 'absorb' those Android bookmarks into the bookmark collection I already had on this new desktop, but after using sync, it straight up removed the desktop bookmarks that were there and replaced them with the android ones exclusively. Another neat little 'feature' is how the bookmarks were also completely erased from the Android device after this.

So once that happened, I restored my old desktop bookmarks, but then the bookmarks that were imported from the Sync from the android were now gone. My question is this: are those sync'd android bookmarks actually anywhere at all, like did Firefox automatically archive them somewhere just in case, or are they just lost completely? Thanks.
