I exported my bookmarks from my Win7 laptop (via FF Quantum). Exported it onto my Win7 Desktop, with HTML extension. Then pasted it to Flash drive.
Note that when pasted, the file displayed as a Blue I.E. Explorer icon.
I then switched to my Win10 laptop, and pasted aforesaid HTML file into My-PC Documents. I then clicked Bookmarks / Show-All-Bookmarks / Import-Backup / import-bookmarks-from-html / this-pc / documents
then i clicked on the bookmarks.html file ...it displayed in the textbox. ......but then it stated "no items" in the grey area below where it states "Names Tags Location"
Please see my attached pic.

Hi guys so since Windows 7 support has ended i have to upgrade someones laptop. Problem is im a little worried about things like his firefox bookmarks his autofill data etc (because this person for the life of him can't remember a few details.) They also don't have firefox sync enabled as of yet. To be safe i am making an image of the windows 7 machine in case something goes wrong but will upgrading from 7 to 10 keep these things or will i have to do something before that?

I'm up to date, using 72.0.2, but the problems described with the article I mentioned are still happening to me. (Tried the workaround fix but it was already set the way I was told to set it, and anyway I'm not on Firefox 70.) Namely and with a specific example, Facebook's top bar loads but I don't get my feed, can't look at my notifications, etc etc. But several other sites have other functionality screwey. I was just ignoring it for a while, because like Facebook is not vital to my life, but now my college's Moodle site isn't working and I can't submit my assignments properly, so I'm going to have to switch browsers if I can't figure out what's wrong. Anybody else still having problems? Anybody have a solution? Thanks guys.

FF 72.0.1 for Windows. See if I can explain this problem. I migrated Chrome bookmarks to a new profile on my desktop. I cleaned up the migration bookmarks and saved to an html file for a backup. I also created a new profile on my laptop that I did attempt to sync with the desktop which was when I first noticed issues with the synced bookmarks/folders.
RIght now I have sync turned off on both machines and am concentrating only on the desktop. I deleted all the bookmarkbackups directory files and deleted places.sqlite and imported the saved html file to get the desktop where I want it. However, when I turn sync on (with sync turned off on the laptop) it adds folders and bookmarks, some of which were NOT there in the Chrome migration and some duplicates that I had created on the laptop. Deleting the WEAVE directory makes no difference. I don't know where this information is coming from, whether cache or ff backups, but I want to have a clean set of bookmarks, that I can sync to a clean laptop.
Can someone please tell me where this previously synced (some not) information is coming from so I can delete and start from scratch.
When printing, the page fonts are shrunk to unreadable - only in Firefox - OK in other browsers
When attempting to print anything using Firefox the font is shrunk and the page is also shrunk to about a 1/2 of of a page - no matter the print settings.
Since last week's big Windows update I cannot connect Quicken with my bank to download account data, although I can do this through Edge.
Quicken support couldn't solve this problem. I hate using Edge, and do everything else with Firefox.

Was mysteriously logged out of sync on desktop for no reason, so had to log back in (had to reset password). logins.json.corrupt file was located but it was EMPTY! Where are all my passwords? Why is FFX this bad that it just disappears all my logins for no reason? This is unacceptable! How is this possible?
I still have the logins on my android phone, and I turned off sync to make sure they don't get wiped (I noticed the sync on the tablet also wiped my logins once I got back into the broken desktop sync). So how the heck do I now xfer the logins from android to desktop????
Once I recover my pwds, I am dropping FFX for good. This is bad. The most important feature is broken, and it's a fatal flaw.
Say what you like about Chrome/Google, but they've never managed to just wipe my entire sync history like this.

So for about the last month or so, firefox has been giving me really slow upload/download speeds. I have 500/500mbps fios, but for some reason, my downloads all download at about 700kbps and my uploads max out at about 7mbps. However, if i use chrome then the problem disappears (sort of, i still only get 200mbps max upload/download speeds). Ive already tried clearing my cookies/cache. and restarting Firefox. The issue is not with a certain website, but with all download/uploads across the board. The weird part is that i can upload several files and each will upload at 7mbps per file but they will never go above 7mbps. ive tried disabling my add-ons and nothing changes. If i check my internet speed on firefox, i do get 500/500 speeds, so i dont know what it could be. its not a big deal to have to switch to chrome whenever i want to upload/download something, but its something id rather not have to do. ive been using firefox for as long as i can remember and ive never had an issue like this.
Im using task managers performance tab to see the upload speed and using firefox's download icon to see the download speed.

FF updated and now I'm getting this very odd message-
"The iOS 10 private browser for Safari does not support storing settings locally. Some settings may not save or some features may not work properly for you. Updating to iOS 11 to solve this issue."
This shows on some sites when I try to log in but will work in a private window. Mac OS X Catalina 10.15.2 Firefox 72.0.1
To be clear...this error appears in firefox, NOT Safari despite the text content of the message

When connected to regular Wifi, Firefox respects the /etc/hosts file. However, when tethered to an iPhone, Firefox does not respect the /etc/hosts file. (Neither does Chrome, for what it's worth). Other programs such as Postman, and traceroute, still respect the hosts file, it's just browsers (including Firefox) that do not.
The behaviour is perfectly repeatable - by switching from wifi to tether and back again, the problem goes away/comes back.
My use case is blocking domains like googletagmanager.com . When on Wifi, firefox does not load anything from that domain. However, when tethered, Firefox does load content from that domain (even though Postman still cannot).
I am using Firefox 72.0.1 and Macos 10.14.6
Is this a setting? A bug? It is certainly not expected behaviour.

Firefox is set to restore previous session on startup. I quit Firefox, turned off my computer, turned it back on again, and opened Firefox. It did not restore the previous session, and it had logged me out. I logged back in again, but it still did not restore.
All the help articles, like this one (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-restore-my-tabs-last-time) say to go to the menu and select "Restore Previous Session". However this is not available for me - see attached screenshot.

Netflix Lower Video Quality When Using Firefox

Hello.
When watching Netflix in Mozilla Firefox (72.0.1 (64-bit)), the video quality is noticeably lower than when watching in Microsoft Edge (44.18362.449.0) or Google Chrome (79.0.3945.130) and does not improve, even after setting my account to use the highest video quality setting (High) and watching the video for upwards of thirty minutes. I have the Premium Ultra HD subscription.
For reference, I am running a computer with Windows 10 Pro 64 bit (version 1909), I have hardware acceleration enabled in Firefox, my content process limit is set to eight, and my computer has a dedicated AMD Radeon RX 470 dedicated GPU, running the latest stable driver version, 19.12.2.
I've chatted to a Netflix representative and they pointed me to this page https://help.netflix.com/en/node/23742, where it states that Netflix has a maximum quality of 720p when using Firefox. Stangely, it also says this is the case for Google Chrome on Windows 10, but Netflix playback on Chrome appears noticeably clearer to me. Edge is clearer still, though that support page says that browser supports up to 4K playback.
Has anyone else had the same or similar issues when watcing Netflix using Firefox? If so, have you found any remedies or ways to improve the quality?
Thanks.

I'm using Firefox 68.4 on Debian. I've set the "layout.css.devPixelsPerPx" value to 1.75, which work nicely for the web pages. But the browser's upper right corner menu, the Alt menu, the toolbar menus, address bar and tab titles - all their fonts are still tiny tiny and I don't know how to change them. "layout.css.devPixelsPerPx" doesn't change these! Please help! :)
Thank you!
