I've tried downloading 2 different add-ons to replace loaded words in newspaper articles with more accurate ones. However, they are useless unless I can specify which words to replace. There used to be an option to edit settings for a particular add-on in about:addons, but it has vanished. Where can it be found now?

Hi,

Yesterday I set up a new computer, installed Firefox and logged in to my Firefox account. Everything went well, my bookmarks appears, all (!) my extensions were installed, everything looked fine. Then I went about my way configuring unrelated Linux stuff, using Firefox as normal on both computers, no problems.

But at some point, I suddenly noticed that on both computers, the icons for most of my extensions had disappeared. And sure enough, looking in about:addons, all that was left were five addons (Dark Reader, Simple Translate, uBlock Origin, Dictionary Anywhere, OneTab). And on both computers, including my main laptop (!), where I hadn't done anything other than clicking around in websites.

And it only affected the extensions, my bookmarks, history, etc all is fine and synced between the computers.

No restarting of Firefox, choosing different profiles in about:profiles (there was only one other, a mostly empty one), nothing got them back. And looking in ~/.mozilla/firefox/, sure enough extensions.json and all extension related folders had been changed, looking as if I never had more than these five extensions installed.

And when I installed one of my usual extensions again, all of it's settings and customizations were back to default. So this is not just a case of having to reinstall a few extensions. All custom uBlock filters, all Tampermonkey scripts, etc, everything is gone.

I tried looking around on the web for solutions, but it appears that there is no one who has had this exact issue before, and I couldn't find any indication that there is any way to revert such an error by Firefox Sync.

To my luck, I have a secondary laptop where I should have a mostly up-to-date instance of my Firefox profile, from which I will now try to recover my extension data, but if that weren't the case, years of fine-tuned settings and customizations would be gone.

As people rely on Firefox Sync to back up their Firefox data, instead of backing up their Firefox data "against" Firefox Sync failing like this, I'd think this is not something that ever should be possible to happen. At the very least, there should be some way to revert errors like this. Perhaps Firefox Sync could store backups either server side or client side before syncing deletions like this?

Discovered that until now I had been unable to store passwords on this browser, and discovered I would need to set a Primary Password before being able to set any. I followed the recommended instructions to set one, but no matter what I entered, it would be unable to set. (Password quality meter was not full (75-80%~), if that is significant.)

After this, I would receive continuous pop-up windows asking to set a Primary Password, but all attempts to set such a password would fail (Window named :"Alert", with text stating "Unable to Change Password.") These would persist until I shut down my computer, and I stopped receiving these popup windows, but ultimately, I am still unable to set a primary password., and thus, am unable to save passwords.

(Pop-up Windows were labelled "Change Password", and had text stating "Security Device: Software Security Device", along with having the password change form)

Prompting window for primary password failed to show up after this upgrade.

1. when I opened Firefox, it did not show up. 2. when I opened about:logins, it did not show up but alerted that I should enter primary password to access passwords. There was a "Log in" button after the alert, but nothing happened after I clicked that. 3. I can't access any of my password unless I remove Primary password.

Any idea?

I get the message: "Uh oh, we couldn't load this page at the moment. Thank you for your patience as we work on this. Please try going back to the home page or logging out" when trying to login to a patient portal site. I have previously logged into this site on numerous occasions and I can login using Safari. I've cleared the cache, cookies and history, rebooted Firefox and even threw in a few chants for good measure - nothing helped! I've not changed settings recently either. I'm at a loss, can you please help? Thank you, Edouard Cantin.

I am trying to go to mylogin.aflac.com which I always went to and was fine and now all the sudden I get that I need a passkey now. see attached for problem and please fix it. thanks

I've seen a few submissions describing the same or similar issues, but is there a consistent, effective way of changing the time zone in Firefox? It keeps defaulting to the wrong time zone (despite everything else on my system displaying the correct time zone) and has been doing so for weeks. Solutions appreciated!

Whenever I go in to sign into Amazon Prime, using Firefox, the sign in page automatically shows my E mail address, my phone no. and my password. I do not have Amazon as a saved log in. I contacted Amazon and they had me log into Amazon on a different browser and this information does not show up on Microsoft Edge, so Amazon said it has something to do with Firefox. Please let me know how I can eliminate this information from showing up automatically on Firefox

I've had Firefox as my default browser for several years. Recently every time I turn on my computer Firefox shows up but it is immediatly overrun by M Edge and I have to remove it several times before it'll go away. I recently lost my connection to my ptinter and don't know how to get it back. I suspect the Edge did away with it.

Trying to us kp.org and Firefox would not recognize the selections made. At times Firefox would not let me make or retain the selection made. Switched to Chrome and site worked smoothly.

For several months I have been experiencing very frequent tab crashes and overall freezes in Firefox. I have tried removing all extensions and starting in safe mode, but nothing has solved it. I have reinstalled Firefox and updated all of my drivers. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to what causes the crashes and freezes. They can happen any time and on any website. They happen around 5 times an hour. I do not know how to troubleshoot any further.

There is problem going on when I turn my laptop in the morning. It has appeared three times now. The message say " Open or Fresh Firefox" The first time I did a Fresh, the second one I clicked "Open". I later get an update and I didn't do the update then the next morning I cannot login into my laptop. I kept getting codes to enter my password. Finally, a security screen appeared and I was able to login. This morning when turning on my laptop I see the same message appear again. I did the refresh Firefox. I had to go back and reset all my personal setting.

Also, I am letting you know that I am being monitor and I am having other problems with my email and iPhone. Question: Who is monitoring the monitor?

Hi, for about 14 days I get random certificate warnings - even on well known websites. They vary from SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN to SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER... even on websites like x.com or LinkedIn. At the same time I got a new router from my ISP. But I am not sure, if this is connected somehow or if I got a Man-in-the-Middle or a virus. Malwarebytes & Co don´t find anything. I have resetted Firefox, too. But nothing helps. I get these errors in Chrome, too, sometimes. But not as often. Any ideas anybody? TIA!!!

This has been a problem for a while, currently on Firefox 126.0 and Nvidia 550.78. I can work around the problem by forcing webrender to use software mode.

When using HW accelerated webrender with my Nvidia graphics card everything works fine until the PC wakes from sleep, then graphics are broken and Firefox needs restarting. Most noticeable for me is when looking at Grafana graphs they will look like random lines, and my Frigate NVR snapshots only display some of the time.

Is there anywhere in Firefox that will show a log of any error messages to do with the graphics card? I would like to try and fix the problem rather than disabling HW acceleration, but with no logs to look at that is impossible. No other programs seem to have a problem with resuming from sleep, and no error messages are shown in any of the system logs.

i need some help with my firefox browser. all of a sudden my firefox browser wont download any files from anywhere but if i try to use the save image as on an image firefox would download them. weirdest thing is other browsers are fine when downloading files.

Didn't have this problem before but after a couple days ago, I didn't know what changes happened to my computer but most of the program wouldn't work except I have to run it as administrator. The download problem occurred when suddenly my FF always froze no matter if I closed it or not. So I just refresh my FF and copy my profile from the old backup data that FF generated and just pasted all of them on my new profile. The problem is that after I tries to download warcraft 3 maps from google drive, the download always occurs as failed. I don't have this problem when I tried it with Edge. Running FF as admin doesn't worked either. Neither as when I run FF as refresh without any extension. Downloading stuffs with IDM (Internet Download Manager) does not have any problems. Just now, I try to download a .xlsx files from my workplace websites. After I click on the download or the file itself, nothing occurs as if nothing happened. This is giving me a headaches so I came here to give it a try if anyone can help me fix this problem.
