how do I keep the profile available when I close Firefox? in trying to transfer Firefox bookmarks from Windows 10 on one computer to Firefox on a new one using Windows 11?

I regularly back up my profiles folder (desktop running Windows 10) and observe a steadily-increasing number of files. Where/what are they? If cookies, I really don't want to delete all cookies, but neither am I interested in manually going through the list and deleting individual ones. I realize we're not talking about a major storage space issue (~ half a gigabyte) -- just curious.

We've used Quikbooks for 10 years + on our desktop. After learning the Desktop QB is no longer supported, we attempted to purchase - access, QB online. This required us to return the desktop version, be credited the purchase amount, as we were prohibited use until this Process completed. Now complete! As Techsoup processes have changed, all the back-forth, just not sure. Prior to QB Icloud purchase- need to confirm we didn't already make purchase & guidance re How to access- use online QB version. PLEASE Advise. Thanks

Hi,

I am managing some linux servers in schools.

Actualy a lot of users are working with firefox.

Depending on how the user is working with firefox, the profil may reclaims a lot of disk space.

Is there a tool working like :

firefox_cleaning_tool /path_of_profile /options xxx

with some options like : cache / etc...

For exemple : the tool flushes profiles caches files and user have no action to do to continue using firefox as usual

this kind of tool should run every month (ie with crontab)

Is there a way to do that ?

I can manual flush some folders contents but I am afraid to do mistakes.

Thanks for your help

windows 10 firefox was attacked by a scammer which declared that any attempt to shut down would cause problems. so i reloaded with some difficulty and subsequently the highlight function is blocking my screen

For several weeks now, I have been unable to upload videos to a group in Facebook using Firefox. Previously, I posted a video almost daily. The loading wheel keeps spinning. This in Windows 11 Pro version 24H2 with Firefox 135.0 (64 bits).

OS: Windows 11 PRO and Windows 11 Home (both 64-bit) Firefox Version: 135.0

Recently set up a computer to use latest version of Firefox. Thought I could just copy and paste the files in the profile folder to the new computer. Found out that didn't work so deleted all the files in the profile folder on the new computer. Copied to a USB stick the Profiles folder on the old computer (according to instructions here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles). Pasted the folder to the Profiles folder on the new computer.

Attempted to start the Profile Manage without starting Firefox on the new computer in order to create a new profile and point it to the files just copied. This is where the problem occurs!

Regardless of what I type in the "Run" dialog box, Profile Manager will NOT open! After hitting Enter, it opens Firefox! I've tried typing all of the following in the "Run" space:

firefox.exe -P
firefox.exe -p
firefox.exe -ProfileManager

What am I doing wrong? Any help would certainly be appreciated1

Thanks.

I just set up my Laptop, and now I`m trying to bring my old Profile in, no chance The picture annected is the last, I see, then nothing more. Furthermore: look, please, on the second, no possibility to find my emails and so

I'm 70 years old and somehow yesterday I pushed a botton that closed out my dashlane password saver and I nned help getting normal settings back please. I can't get into emails etc. Please call me at [edited from community support forum]

turned on firefox today to find it had been updated. new page proudly p[roclaims that i can now edit pdf's in firefox, which is great because i want to be able to collate pdf files. i walked away from adobe years ago because they're just as evil as google-

but the 'try it now' link opens a page that is just an image of a form that looks like a joke [?] a letter to [fill out?] that seems dumb and a waste of time: https://assets.mozilla.net/wnp135-en/wnp-fx135-en.pdf

was i silly to expect seeing a privacy-assured web application to upload pdf's and edit them?

but this page does nothing, one can do nothing with it at all. was it supposed to be something one can actually type into the fields? if so, didn't anybody at mozilla test it first?

what is this?

I have two issues. One is on register.com. I can go their home page but when I select login, I get taken to a blank page; nothing. Yet, on my laptop, and with Firefox, I can login just fine as I can with MS Edge on this computer.

The other issue is with the Puzzle page of USA TODAY NEWSPAPER. I have included a page explaining the issue and with pictures.

I can not get into my Yahoo Email account. When I log in it says, "Something's gone wrong".

I can get into my Email through a different browser on the same computer. This started last 

Wednesday (01-29) or Thursday (01-30). Help.

Thank you for your time. Tony S.

Need to know how to get my profile data reloaded into new version after upgrading.

• New version does not support previous version profile data format
• App startup or firefox -P in windows 10 says "Old formats are corrupted when used, create a new profile or Exit".
• The profile data and folders and files are there from before the upgrade today, but Firefox does not read or support its own file formats. Examining SQLite places File format says SQLite 3 in header.

• Would have been good to know before upgrading, especially as often as it prompts to do so that the key data format for a profile is not supported after upgrading.

• The upgrade does not migrate, move, prompt or even warn. Just steam rolls and assumes you know Firefox's support-ability limitations and choices of its own products before running.

• No information on how to get around "Old profile scan corrupt, create a new one" message on browser startup and get back to or import all my browser info (Bookmarks, Passwords, Cookies). Just tips on how to export or backup before upgrading (See "a" above)
