When I pick on bookmarks at the top left and it drops down there is recent tags and recently bookmarked, this is on laptop 1 with windows 10. When I am on my newest laptop windows 11, I do not see the recent tags and recently bookmarked. Is this something under settings?

This is a many years old account/install with Netscape/Firefox, now 116.0.1, 64-bit Windows.

When offered a box for email step 1 login -- this site, for example -- FF auto fill offers my correct address first, but then there are two offered below that in the auto fill offers that are not mine.

How can I access where those are stored and remove those erroneous or mal email addresses?

Searching here infers the Profile; yes, my first guess, but my Profile is 725 MB ... so any hints available?

A video I am watching is in 4:3 aspect ratio and comes with black bars in the embedded player; however, when i enter fullscreen (on a 16:9 display) the video stretches horizontally, getting rid of the black bars, resulting in a bottom portion of the video being cut off. This happens on my macbook pro running firefox 116.0.1 that is connected to a television monitor. This issue does not happen on my desktop monitor of 16:9 resolution. For about one second or so when the video first enters into fullscreen, the video is played how I want it to be played (non stretched, 4:3 aspect ratio, with vertical black bars on the sides), but then it auto adjusts itself and switches to a stretched resolution, which is what I DO NOT want. In case this info is important: When I exit the video, the entire screen is in a stretched resolution for only about a second until it then adjusts itself again to return to a normal display view. I am in dire need of help, it's driving me crazy.

(similar to this thread: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1401072 , except my problem occurs on a non youtube site, so im not sure how the tags solution would work)

With the new 116, I have lost all of my add ons, I cannot get into gmail, other sites ask for captcha with no captcha in sight. I keep getting a message that google thinks i am a robot

I have installed Firefox on my new computer but some bookmarks did not transfer from my old computer. This includes those bookmarks shich displayed on my old computer only when I clicked on "search bookmarks." When I click "search bookmarks" on the new computer, it only displays bookmarks I have visited on the new computer. New computer is running Windows 11. How do I transfer these bookmarks to my new computer? Thank you.

Firefox keyboard recognition not working. The letters that I type are not those appearing on screen. I’m typing in Word, & copy/paste in order to write the text.

We have a website we are using for supply chain. When we look at orders it shows up in PDF for printing. While using FireFox after a few PDF's they are starting to show corrupted data. Even after deleting cookies and Cashed data

I was trying to set up Mullvad but upon reaching the settings where "DNS over HTTPS" once was I noticed it was gone, how can I change provider now without the option too?

Hello, I would like to import bookmarks, passwords and other settings from a second chrome account. Is it possible to do this? Do I have to create a second account as well on FF? I would assume so, but trying to get help via the FF Support page is not very easy. I realize this is a site for developers and code contributors, but I would like to move to Firefox because the browser has done and excellent job in building its robust platform over the years. What it boils down to, is I would like to be able to switch among accounts as I do in chrome. Is that possible? If not how to I go about creating a second usable account. I am sure the answer is easy, but obviously my wording for questions were not concise enough to get help.

Thank you for your help.

I'd like to know what encryption algothim is used for the password manager and the process behind it. Since I'm using this information for a paper I'd appreciate it if you could add a source as well if possible.

Before I can even get on my computer, I can see Notifications for Firefox. I use my password to login to my desktop computer and the Notification in the upper right hand corner are there for a few seconds more, then they disappear. I do NOT know where to see them again and I truly would like for this activity to stop. Where do I find Notifications after I launch Firefox (my preferred browser and the ONLY browser I use) to see what the notifications have to say, and how can I disable Notifications?

Hi,

Long story short, due to a boot up error loop, i was forced to reinstall windows.

I have done this before and after logging into my Firefox account, everything synced. This time however, it did not work. All my Book Marks, Passwords etc are gone. I really need those back.

If anyone can assist i will greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

There is no option to import passwords via csv in the import data that your "find help" suggests. Only importing from another browser. I thought you "Upgraded" this in version 116. What is going on with Mozilla? I see people have been complaining since 2021. As usual I will have to "improvise" due to lack of support. by improvise I mean downloading another "competent" web browser capable of importing from csv just so i can use it to import to firefox. YOU can figure that out but not from the same frickin file as every other browser. Pathetic! /

I ran a program on my mac (https://kevin-de-koninck.github.io/Clean-Me/) without the "User Preferences" option and it still signed me out of my Firefox account .Usually shouldn't be a big deal but somehow my Lastpass account doesn't have the password saved (which I use to login to getpocket.com every day, so I literally don't understand what is going on with it not being in there) so I can't login to it. It's the main account, and I can login to my other accounts attached to it, but I get the error "login with main account" after I sign in successfully.

So, I can't login to my main account (main@example.com) but I can login to my attached account (not_main@example.com). Also, on my phone i am logged into main@example.com, but I can't change the password without knowing the password. And if I change the password to main@example.com it will reset my account which I really don't want as I have years and years of bookmarks and history on there.

Can anyone help? Please, and thanks in advance.

I have sync turned on for all options but everytime Firefox updates I lose all passwords and log-ins from my main Windows desktop PC, the Bookmarks are all still in place.

Log in and password infois still available on my iphone and macbook air..

How do I restore them and prevent it happening again?

Hi - After taking the suggestion to re-install a fresh copy of FF, I keep getting something to the effect that the FF profile is missing. After spending too many hours trying all the leads provided online, and not being too familiar with some terminology, I am bewildered. Instead of a simple set of instructions, I am tasked with deleting something. Wha?? I don't wish to delete something, I simply would like to dump the contents of the old data file that appeared when I re-installed F back, and be rid of the nag. Had I had been warned that this problem would occur, I would never have re-installed FF. I wound up with something that contradicts its premise; delete what? The title to Restore FF Profile is misleading. Logically, here should be a link to click on to re-install the old files, or better yet, they should have been installed automatically. The file folder raises the question, why even have it? It's useless. If it had a list of extensions that were deleted, it would be helpful. Luckily, I hand copied the extensions, recalling that many years ago, they disappeared down the rabbit hole, never to be seen again I apologize for being ungrateful, as FF and the work done by volunteers is most appreciated. but wasting what little time I have here on earth is not good for the psyche. If there is a simple, understandable solution, it would be most appreciated. Thank you, Nick M.

I cannot click on the links in the search engines any longer. I did the Firefox refresh option. Now I dont have the extensions I had. I can't figure out how to install them without paying again, My ad blockers in particular. I went ahead and paid and now they do not show up in the extensions. I could not go to Twitter, the message said I was not connected to the internet. I am not sure what happened. I could not go to my email. I tried the troubleshoot mode and I could not figure out what to do next. I am using an apple iMac running Ventura 13.4.1. Any help would be appreciated.
