Darling team the Firefox.

I returned to Firefox again years ago, having stopped using the splendid browser. But due to fashion or following trends, I migrated to a browser from another company. I've returned to my beloved Firefox, which has brought me so much joy. However top me with a terrible unknown.

The browser I stopped using. It has an attractive simple, and useful home screen for selecting accounts for the user, which multiple accounts.

I haven't found any similarity in my dear Firefox.

Do you have a feasible solution, since searching the internet, the community is clamoring for it.

Sincerely,

Twö

Have had lots of problems with ffox. everything was ok, until i had a HD failure, and needed to change /update Windows 11 info.

1) I had a dual login setup (for two different id's) selected at startup. I now have about 10 different '.default' directories I am attempting to recover.

a) is there a place in the backup (default) directories that will show me the name of the acccount i was using? b) is there a way to put a comment in the (new directories) I will be re-creating? c) is there a way to put the new profile in a different spot (instead of (example: %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\) perhaps something like %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\user1 instead??

very time consuming and difficult. I am using the directory dates to try and find the best one... thanks in advance

Recovered files and data from a failed M.2 SSD onto a USB. Did a clean install including reinstallation of Firefox on the failed machine. How do I recover the Firefox profile from the recovery USB so it can be transferred onto the restored machine?

I had to do a clean reinstall of MacOS. I've copied my old profile info from Time Machine to /[user]/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles, but when I open Firefox, it doesn't find the data. What am I doing wrong?

I just tried creating a new profile in Nightly, and I received the "Approve sign-in to Firefox" email with a code, twice, but the profile page kept saying that my email bounced or something. Now it's saying it's locked.

Hi all, I used to run two Firefox instances on the same computer, each one using a different account (as I mentioned in the Subject), but I don't remember how I managed this, so now that I moved to a new computer I can't reproduce it! Thanks for helping, if anyone knows. Regards, Mike

Hello, i had to switch from beta to regular, but when i tried to, my profile said

---------------------------

Firefox

This profile was last used with a newer version of this application. Please create a new profile.

OK

Something about corruption risk. But i wanted to keep the profile because i customized with a lot of plugins, themes, already.

So i edited the INI file the version number with the newer version number and then it worked and as far as i can see there are no problems. Is this okay?

Why am I getting this message, when trying to save to pockets: It looks like you were misusing this feature by going too fast. You’ve been temporarily blocked from using it. Back

hi i was wondering if workspaces could be separated like a new profile. i have two workspaces but singed in google account on one workspace still shows on another workspace. is there any way to fully separate the two workspace?

I am tired of this bullshit.

So i was using the beta branch of the firefox and beta version stopped working with a site for some time. so i tried to come back to the stable version.

After i do that and fix my config. In every couple of hours there would be a notification window pop up with sound saying this

"firefox this profile was last used with a newer version of this application. Please create a new profile"

So i did create a new profile BUT i copy pasted my own configuration.UI stuff from my old settings from "About:config"

This notification STILL comes up FFS what do i need to do then?

HOW COME MY UI CONFIGURATION TRIGGERS THE DAMN NOTIFICATION?

I will not re-do my fckng UI configuration by hand.

Hi,

I'm trying to set up Sync across devices but the login page at https://accounts.firefox.com it takes me to never actually does anything after I click the "Sign In" button and it becomes greyed out. See attached Screenshot.

• It definitely is the right password
• I can login here at support.mozilla.org using the same credentials unless I'm mistaken
• It happens on other browsers and on a new profile in Firefox

I'm suspecting maybe it's related to me using the Profiles feature?

Thanks!

Hello, I have many PCs in my home. Office, Kitchen, Lounge, Bedroom, Man-Cave etc etc etc. I do most of my work on my main PC, but I move around a bit. So I would like to be able to copy My entire Firefox Nightly Build across all my PCs. I have about 16 profiles set up for various jobs. I have seen a few posts that tell me to copy the User/appdata/roaming/firefox folder from one pc to another, but after trying this I ended up with nothing. Is there a simple folder selection I can sync across my network? Thanks
