How do I turn off the automatic desktop download? Every time I open a file it downloads it to my desktop without permission. This is beyond irresponsible and dangerous to the end user. I assume you have a team standing by to assist in removing virus' and restoring people's computers.

Hello Corel and Everyone else.

I've got my bookmarks back, but not my history, or my tabs, or my Tab Groups (I've got a new Version of the Extension, see https://github.com/drive4ik/simple-tab-groups, but I don't know where to look to find the original data, or how to import it when I do find it.)

On the other hand, I have this now: - WITH Submit buttons! However they are changing to Failed when I try to submit them - one step forward, one step back, SIGH!

I have tried copying files between the old and new profile folders, but when I re-open FF I get this: favicons.sqlite ‎ Tuesday, ‎7 ‎June ‎2022, ‏‎12:48:12 PM 5120 KB favicons.sqlite.corrupt Monday, ‎2 ‎March ‎2020, ‏‎2:25:08 PM 26368 KB and this: places.sqlite Tuesday, ‎7 ‎June ‎2022, ‏‎12:47:58 PM 5120 KB places.sqlite.corrupt Sunday, ‎8 ‎March ‎2020, ‏‎2:36:37 PM 56320 KB

I think this is enough to be going on with, I look forward to hearing more from you. Ciao, Jacq.

Hi!

I found from internet that updates should be stored in: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates

But I dont even have that folder but somehow firefox tells me to restart to install updates.

Since internet documentation seems to be outdated on this aspect I decided to ask here.

All of the sudden I cannot download mp3 files under the "save audio as" . It automatically tries to save it as a htm file. I have never had this issue before. I have downloaded many mp3s with no issues. Am I missing something here? It gives me no option to save it as a mp3, only as a htm

Hi,

Firefox updated to 101.0.1 and I miss all addons and my customized toolbar! During update I saw it created an "Old Firefox data" folder on my Desktop.

How to bring back the missing parts?

Thx!

Hello,

I use a 2019 Macbook Pro. While I was out of the country for a few months last winter, I left my computer behind and used my work laptop only. When I returned and performed a few updates to my Macbook, I noticed that each time I want to use Firefox (when restarting my computer), I have to download it and sign in (which also prompts a new sign-in email from Firefox). I never had this issue before on my computer or any prior computer, so I'm wondering if it's a basic fix to where I could use it each time I restart my computer without having to go through the process of downloading and signing in. It doesn't take much time, just an additional minute or so each time I want to sign in, which gets a bit annoying. Please let me know.

Thanks,

Dan

Hello!

I was just wondering if there was a way to disable the pop-up that appears to confirm the cancellation of an ongoing download ?

I tried searching in the about:config page but didn't find any parameter that looked like it could help me on that.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I need to export many profiles that are connected to my FFX account. these are the profiles found by going to "about:profiles". These do not restore on a new computer after signing in to a ffX account.

I have followed the steps outlined in this support article but it does not work, and I don't think applied to "about:profiles". https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles YouTube videos also do not appear to focus on importing the 'about:profiles'.

If someone knows how to do this, I would be very grateful.

Thank you Liam

I am trying to move Firefox to my wife's new computer. I have pulled the HD out of the old computer and have linked it to the computer I'm typing on via a USB port. On it, I can navigate to the Profiles directory but when I attempt to copy it to my HD on this computer, I get this error:

    0X80004005: Unspecified error

I've reviewed pages by searching on the error code but nothing comes up that is relevant. I've cleared permissions on the Profiles directory and all its files ... to no avail.

I'm stumped. Any suggestions?

I broke an old computer and have my logins from it on a backup drive in logins.json and key4.db. I can't work out how to transfer these logins to my new computer. I've tried creating a new firefox profile since I am nervous of losing logins that are on my new computer, but then I am totally lost.

Firefox updates use the term MSI, but never do you explain what that means. Come on guys step around the counter and act like a user. Not only what does it mean, but what are the differences between MSI and the download without MSI?
