Firefox Community Forum

Where are profiles and bookmarks and search history stored on my computer..

Maybe I can manually recover data, especially history and passwords.

Otherwise it's easier to just use Chrome

I did the profile thing and there's only one blank profile showing.

I did the CMD prompt -P and there is only Default showing.

This new upgrade has destroyed everything

Best Buy Tech support took control of my computer today to get my printer to scan to the computer. After that was done, I went to my FIREFOX hompage only to see it completely changed from the way it was and I am now trying to get it back.

I have a Brother MFC-L2707DW printer. It quit scanning so I deleted the drivers and uploaded current drivers. It now scans and prints EXCEPT from the Firefox browser.

Gmail inbox not opening in Firefox. I can access google maps, voice, search. just not gmail. can access gmail from chrome. the inbox link gives me google help page. I can access gmail inbox in FF private window but not in regular FF. Please help.

Thanks, Jake

Вопрос, думаю, миллиона пользователей: вы когда-нибудь планируете за годы работы сделать так, что бы если ты закрыл основной браузер до закрытия безопасного режима, вкладки в обычном режиме НЕ закрывались?! Сделайте окно проверки, если не можете реализовать, что бы человек прочитал сообщение и НЕ закрыл обычный режим ДО закрытия безопасного? Почему другие то могут?

Just found that using Iolo System Mechanic to clean up my desktop is constantly causing the loss of my bookmarks and possibly my passwords. I have tried to specify which file(s) to ignore in System Mechanic to avoid this issue, but it is not allowing me to specify the files in my Appdata folders that I suspect it is clobbering. Has anyone been successful with this? I am getting tired of restoring my bookmark files every time I use the program. My wife's computer is having the same issue, and even worse in that she has also had her entire bookmark backup files wiped clean, which required her to re-enter all of her bookmarks manually. The folks at Iolo want me to pay for support before I can get any help from them.

I used Pocket for a while. It was excellent since it allowed taking a webpage and converting it to a document that could be copied and pasted to Microsoft word. This allowed further analysis and work on the contents of the page and was extremely useful.

Now that Pocket is gone is there another extension or a purchased extension that does the same thing on the present day Firefox.

I presently use Windows 7 and Windows 10.

Appreciate any suggestions.

I struggled some time with download links, no matter what filename I specified in the download="filename" attribute, the file I got was always download(1..n). Now I put all into one zip archive. I have a german and an english page, the link is:

Alle Skripte hier zusammen in einem ZIP: <a href="../downloads/backup.zip" title="Download Backup Skripte" class="ilbutton" download>backup.zip</a>

in der deutschen und

Here all together in one zip file: <a href="../downloads/backup.zip" title="Download Backup Skripts" class="ilbutton" download>backup.zip</a>

. I can't see a difference except the language. But: the download of the german link comes as "download.zip". The one from the english one as "backup.zip". WHY???

Thank you for any proposals!

Bonjour, lorsque je veux me connecter à ma boite mail Zimbra de Free un message indiquant "chargement en cours" s'affiche après avoir rentré mon identifiant et mot de passe mais rien ne se passe, la page indiquant se message reste fixe. Pour info je ne rencontre pas se problème lorsque je me connecte avec Google Chrome. Merci de bien vouloir m'indiquer ce qu'il y a lieu de faire pour solutionner ce problème. Cordialement,

Dear All, I recently reinstalled Windows and updated to the latest Firefox. When I tried to sign in to sync/restore my bookmarks, Firefox could not recognize my password. I reset it and used the new password, but the bookmarks that appeared were outdated, and not all information synced to my current account.Could you please advise on the steps (or a quick solution) to fix this?Many thanks for your support in advance.Kind regards, Tareq Zeyad
