what it says on the tin. went data purging with ol reliable WinDirStat and found this absolute behemoth of a file in the profiles directory for firefox. its especially weird considering the entire Firefox directory itself is only 1.5GB with this menace taking 1.3 of it. I cant imagine that bookmarks, search history, passwords, the works takes up any more than about 300mb. so im wondering if im just stuck in the early days of data or if the file really is just that girthy.

I have been with Firefox for years as default browser but recently been having probs. It wont open from Start or my taskbar. Keeps going to New tab at top of screen. Tried reinstalling but still the same. What has happened?

Firefox kept losing all of my saved bookmarks and passwords. Each time it updated everything would disappear. I went to the folders where the bookmarks and passwords are stored and the profiles were there but Firefox did not list them when I searched (about:profiles). Tried numerous times to move the files to the current folder but the program still could not see them. Tried copying, moving, changing names of files, etc. Finally uninstalled firefox and attempted a new installation but it will not even open because it says it can't find profiles even though there are profiles in the profile folder. Now what do I do?

I had sync turned on before I reinstalled my OS, and now I have lost everything. Is there anyway to recover the stuff that should be there? Yes or no. If yes please provide steps, and not the self help articles here as they are worthless.

I work at a small daily newspaper chain, and our website CMS is both archaic and homebrew. I only work with it sporadically, and Firefox is the best option for maintaining it.

This morning, I got the regular "Are you sure you want to delete this?" dialog box (pretty sure it's a Javascript call) with the additional check box of "Do you want (URL) to not prompt you for this any longer?" (or words to that effect).

I thought, "Great, one less click" and made that selection.

But now when I want to delete an item off the articles list, it doesn't delete at all.

I'm pretty browser-savvy, but I don't know how to re-enable that option. Any ideas?

The Roboform extension does not work :-( This has been going on for 2-3 months now.... It keeps telling me the extension is installed (which it is) but not enabled (which it IS) Thank you

I'd like to try the new Firefox VPN, but I can't find the icon to turn it on, not even when I customise the toolbar. I searched several times. I know the VPN is available in my region (the Firefox browsers at work all have the VPN icon), but once I enter my email and password for my Mozilla Firefox account, the icon disappears. What should I do?

Thank you in advance!

When changing tags in Microsoft 365 Term Store, the changes are not showing on the respective Sharepoint sites and lists when displayed in Firefox. The tags still show the old values. Refreshing the page and deleting the cache does not solve the issue. Only uninstalling and then reinstalling Firefox resolves the issue. The problem does not occur in Microsoft Edge.
