Firefox-Hilfeforum

In the past I have been able to download bookmarks from previous versions of Firefox. I just downloaded Firefox on a new computer and I can download IE or Chrome bookmarks but not previous Firefox bookmarks. Any solutions?

It's unbelievable that a program like this have NEVER had a smooth update EVER. ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS problems. Only tried to update now because I verified that my addons, that I will NOT go without, actually haven't been disabled in this time.

Today's problem.

Tried to allow it to update to the latest version and it downloaded and restarted the browser. It restarted the exact same version of the browser I'm trying to update. Tried restarting, updating again and again, says "restart to update" but NEVER updates the browser.

Tried downloading the installer to update myself. Installer says it's up to date. Tried starting firefox from all my shortcuts, from the start menu, and directly from the programs folder and ALL start the non-updated browser.

So, if I have an up to date version of firefox on my computer where is the new super secret location it's installed to these days?????? It's not in the program files. If the browser updates then why is there still on old version running on my computer??????

Firefox Developer Edition XML Parsing Error: undefined entity Location: chrome://browser/content/browser.xhtml Line Number 2982, Column 11 :

OS: macOS 10.14.6

How do I resolve this?

All of my saved logins are gone without a trace from all of my devices. I haven't added any new device and haven't changed sync settings recently, haven't even added any new plugins. They were all present a day or two ago and I noticed something was wrong when firefox stopped autofilling the login data. is there a way to check what's going on and what caused this? and also how to I get them back?

Every single time I open Firefox, I'm presented with this annoying reminder that tells me to update Firefox. Problem is, I manually installed Firefox into an Ubuntu folder, and it doesn't get auto-updated. I'm perfectly capable of downloading the latest version and replacing the old version WHEN I CHOOSE TO. I don't need Firefox reminding me about it every single goddamn time I open the browser. A reminder every month or every 40 days would have still been tolerable. But everytime I open the browser??!!! Who takes these kind of decisions? Please don't make a user interface so annoying!!!

I am setting up a new desktop with WIN10 and want to import all of my Logins and Passwords from my Laptop (WIN7). There is an Import tab on my desktop Firefox but no Export on my laptop Firefox. How do I do this? I am not a computer wizard and don't know too much about them.

Google won't let me sign in and here is what they say: "The browser you're using doesn't support JavaScript, or has JavaScript turned off.

To keep your Google Account secure, try signing in on a browser that has JavaScript turned on."

I have recently updated to the latest version of Firefox and seemed to have no problem yesterday. What do I do now?

Hello I want to browse to a site by ip address but when I enter the ip address and press enter it puts a www infront of the ip address and invalidates the address. How can I stop it doing that?

I am using a number of extensions that were unexpectedly disabled when Firefox decided to update itself. The most important that "could not be verified for use in Firefox Developer Edition and has been disabled" is Mult-account containers. This is the second time I will have lost my data if I can't do so.

This being the second time I have to ask: Is this the fault of running "Developer Edition" and should I switch to normal FF at this point? Are containers not ready for prime time? Clearly something is wrong if I can loose all of my (container) data twice in a week.

Odd thing here, some (not all) videos on Twitter don't play. I get the first frame with the blue play button, but when I click it, it goes black with no sound. Some videos work, particularly the longer ones. Animated GIFS do not work.

I have tried nearly everything I found on the internet: new profile, clearing cookies/cache, changing about:config settings, using safe mode: nothing worked. Chrome does not play also, but it does not show a black screen, it freezes in the first frame (i.e, the blue play button simply vanishes).

I also have tried to access the video URL directly, it also does not play. But if I download the video and play it locally with VLC, it DOES play. Funny thing, this.

I am currently suspecting that it's a codec problem in the browsers. I went to html5test.com, it says that my Firefox does not support MPEG-4 ASP and H.265. But in the YouTube HTML5 page (https://www.youtube.com/html5) all checkboxes are marked.

So, I'm out of ideas. Please help.

I'm using Firefox 67.0 under MX Linux. My monitor is 25" with a resolution of 1920x1200. With this resolution, the text and icons in Firefox Menu and Toolbars are tiny and almost impossible to read. The Thunderbird add-on Theme and Font Size Changer works reasonably well for Thunderbird, so is there a corresponding add-on for Firefox?

I know that Firefox is largely developed by people who are volunteers, but it seems that a tool, as part of the basic Firefox program, should be available to make these changes without installing add-ons or modifying the code manually. Almost everyone needs to be able to tweak these things at one time or another.

I have literally tried everything that I've found about printing issues on this forum and even spoken to your team on Twitter. I don't know what to do. I would rather use Firefox over Chrome, but I don't have a choice. Is there anyone that can help??

Hello, I have many "One-Click Search Engines" that I can use in the search bar, but when I right click something, I would like to have more options than the only "Default Search Engine". Is that possible ? I run Mozilla Firefox 67.0.4 on Ubuntu 18.04.3, many thanks ;)

The "Warn when closing multiple tabs" option (which, by the way, is hidden for some reason until you modify its value via about:config) doesn't even do anything. You could close like 10 tabs and Firefox will do it without warning you. Same with the "Close other tabs/tabs to the right" options.

As above. FF installed the update despite the checked option to NOT install automatically. NO "old firefox" folder was created-anywhere. No other profile is present that has the old data. My adult daughter's grad school laptop. Years of bookmarks, logins and I do not know what all ARE GONE!! I allowed FF to download but NOT INSTALL-since it was not my machine and I wanted to avert any disaster (I, in fact, looked at the options first, to make sure) NOW WHAT?? Is that is a bug?? Why was there no "old FF" created? Why did it install regardless of instructions to the contrary. Is there some other place to look? She does not seem to have any automatic backups for FF profiles.

I get this every time when starting Firefox (currently 67.0.4) after running a cleanup utility such as Privazer or Glary Disk Cleaner. I assume it is deleting something that Firefox is looking for and that generates the error. Does anyone know what missing file is causing that error and how to remedy the problem. Either by telling the utilities not to delete that file or telling Firefox not to care if it is deleted.

Thanks

This was my favorite feature and limiting me to downloading only leads me to taking extra steps, ala

Right click> Screenshot>Download>browse to image hosting site such as imgur>upload screenshot i just took

The only reason I take screenshots to begin with is to share images with friends and i found the upload functonality to be a feature that set firefox out from your competitors. Very saddened to see this feature go...
