I got so frustrated with not being able to reinstall Firefox because I kept getting the error message "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible". So I deleted all the profiles after copying them to an external hard drive. Then I copied the file ending in.test from the Old Firefox data folder on my desktop to the AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/ profile. Then I copied the biggest file ending in .default from the backed up Local profiles to the AppData/Local/Mozilla/Firefox/ profile. It doesn't matter if I delete or keep the Old Firefox data folder on my desktop, I still get the Profile Missing error message. What can I do, so my laptop would appear as if it had been powered up straight out of the box and never had Firefox initially installed or what do I do with my profiles to make them accessible?

I've started getting Virus/Trogen warnings from McAfee popping up every few seconds on Firefox. There was a McAfee file on my Acer desktop but Not installed. Windows Defender and Malwarebytes do not detect a Virus or Trogen. Is this a SCAM by McAfee to get money from me? I cannot delete the McAfee install file as it says it is in use!

Bonjour, A l"allumage de mon ordinateur,ce matin, quand je clique sur l'icône "Firefox", une fenêtre sans mes onglets d'hier C'est une page m'invitant à télécharger Firefox. Je n'ai plus accès à mon historique et, n'ayant plus accès à mes mots de passe, j'ai du mal à ouvrir mes sites préférés. Merci par avance de votre aide. Annie Le Drévo

bold textI downloaded fire fox but don't see it listed with my other browsers, why? i downloaded fire fox but it's not listed among my browsers, why?

On last Firefox update my Password manager was blanked out. I had no username/passwords in my Password Manager although I had previously had over 100. I managed to recover it by logging in to my Mozilla account but now have access to over 7000 of other peoples usernames and passwords on my password manager. You seem to have a major data breech or is this a quirk I don't understand? These other names/passwords show up when I try to log into certain sites, such as Schwab for example, and I have to pick mine out of a host of others to fill in the login info. What is going on?

I am on a new PC with Windows 11, using 4 monitors. I keep trying to figure out what is making my mouse and sometimes the keyboard behave sluggish (freezes for a moment). I have takes all suggestions that AI has suggested but it is still happening. Do you have any thing for me to try? It appears to be only when Firefox is running.

I use Firefox to manage an online course. For some parts, I want to zoom in to see detailed diagrams etc. In other parts, I want to see at a glance a simple list of submissions. So I have 2 windows (with their relevant tabs) open. But when I zoom into the first, the other window zooms in, so I lose most of the listing. How do I set the zoom differently in the two windows?

Firefox continually shows pop ups for a passkey and it will not let me sign into a webpage without it. I have seen a way to disable the pop ups online, but I am 84 and not techy. If I cannot stop them, I will stop using Firefox and Use

I like the Firefox home page. Except for one small issue. That is Shortcuts. If checked it defaults to "sites you save or visit". It is a pain in the A$$ to clear away visited sites. I would prefer to have the option to keep saved sites and not keep visited sites. Can Firefox please seperate saved and visited. In another words make it an option to keep visited sites.

Hello. When I opened my browser, you forcefully opened a tab about VPN and how to install this. However I cannot find the mentioned "get started" button.

This is the page that automatically opened: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/built-in-vpn?utm_source=www.firefox.com

I want to play m3u8 link but they always download and save it. I try to find advance settings but it seems no settings for it. How can I stop download specific file extension? And if it can play, play it? Thank you.

Gentlemen, isn't your browser using a lot of RAM? I've been freaking out about it in recent years. That's only with 25 tabs open!! Despite the fact that the system was installed just a day ago, without any tweaks!!!
