We are thinking of a way to migrate all of our users in our organization from IE to firefox. We would like to move as much IE user data over as we can. Is there a script or some type of documentation that could go through and grab the IE data and import it directly into firefox without any user interaction?

68.4.1 update hangs up ("About" dialogs says it is updating, but it never finishes). Neither "Run as administrator" or "Safe mode" helps. Only unique element of my setup (AFAIK) is that the profile is on a shared network drive.
I reverted to 60.9.1. And this is the second time subsequent to release of 60.9.1 that the update process has failed.

I have a new Razer Phone 2, and for some reason Firefox appears on it more like a desktop browser than a mobile one. For example there is the tab bar on the top, which would not be a big issue, but when I log on to pages, like Amazon, then the desktop version downloads. Is there any way to force Firefox to get the mobile version?

Why is Firefox Focus a separate product and not integrated into Firefox for iOS?
Why is Firefox Focus not just something like privacy mode in Firefox for iOS? How much protection do I get in Firefox for iOS vs Firefox Focus?

Windows 10 Pro, Firefox 72.0.1 64bit. Long ago, I enabled "Show tab previews in the Windows taskbar" in Options and until a week or two ago, whenever I hovered over the Firefox icon in the taskbar, a small image of the web page in each tab would appear above the taskbar. If I hovered over an image, it would then become full screen and readable. Now, hovering over the image produces a blank, greyed out screen with a rotating blue circle that eventually becomes a tiny image. This happens on all tabs except the tab for Firefox Options. This tab operates normally and will appear normal when hovered over. I have included screen prints of the above problem and hope you can provide a solution.

I didn't realize there was no official technical support for Thunderbird. Thank you for anyone who takes time to respond. Someone hacked into a personal email and used Thunderbird to synch and possibly download to their computer. I would like to see if POP vs IMAP was used. If I changed my email password to original account (earthlink) and they only used IMAP, would that mean they no longer have access to the old messages that they had previously synched and viewed through Thunderbird? Or would that only prevent them from viewing new emails - post change of earthlink passcode?
Why does Waterfox not have access to extensions?

I am currently having issues with Youtube, Netflix, and vrv.co, all video streaming sites over on Firefox, though only in full screen mode, and only on those particular video streaming sites, and I don't know why. As everything else works perfectly fine on my computer otherwise. Though curiously, running the browser in safe mode seems to remove those issues. However, I suspect this is some kind of glitch in the browser, as when I checked Waterfox Classic (The only version I could see offered when I went to check the site to get the browser) to see if those problems followed to it, I learned it did not. However for some reason, Waterfox does not have access to the same extensions I normally use in Firefox. Is there a reason behind this? I am planning to downgrade to the immediate preceeding version of Firefox I have to see if that fixes the issues there but I somehow doubt it. In the meantime, is there a way to get my Noscript, Adblock Plus, and Webroot Filtering extensions to work on Waterfox so that I can use it in the without worrying about ads or potentially malicious scripts until I can figure out what the devil happened to Firefox?

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

Video playback issues

I am currently having issues with Youtube, Netflix, and vrv.co, all video streaming sites over on Firefox, though only in full screen mode, and only on those particular video streaming sites, and I don't know why. As everything else works perfectly fine on my computer otherwise. Though curiously, running the browser in safe mode seems to remove those issues. However, I suspect this is some kind of glitch in the browser. Strangely, safe mode removes the issue, but again, not sure why. I did check another browser— Namely Waterfox Classic. That worked fine. And so far the only suggestion anyone has had from the tech service that I have on the machine has made that makes sense is that this might be a video driver issue. I did just recently update my drivers, this is true. However the issue did not start up until a few days after this had occurred. I tried reinstalling the driver to see if that would fix the issue. The issue itself is very weird. It seems like the first third of the top of the screen is suffering from some kind of distortion that looks somewhere between pixelation and screen tearing, while the rest of the video usually plays normally. What's weirder is that this isn't consistent. Sometimes it will occur near the bottom third of the screen, and sometimes it won't happen at all. The only things so far consistent is that a) it happens only in full screen, and b) it only occurs to me when I'm in the browser on those sites. Nothing text based (i.e. Fanfiction.net) has this occur, nor does it occur on my games that are on my system via steam. Even weirder, having a secondary monitor attached causes the playback issue to vanish, as does having a remote repair attempted on it—which I did try to do when this first started— only to return again when the remote connection is shut down or the external monitor is unplugged from the laptop.
Again, Waterfox does not seem to have this issue. At first it was suggested to me on another thread that the issue might be because Waterfox Classic doesn't use hardware acceleration, so I turned that off on Firefox. Which does allow things to play more or less okay, though at times when I scroll, it seems to mess with the screen in a similar fashion to the initial playback issues, and again, it's not consistent with that, just like it's not consistent with the video playback when the browser's Hardware acceleration is on.
However, I just learned that Waterfox Classic /does/ use hardware acceleration, though it seems to have a much lower content limit set by default. This makes me think that whatever is going on may be a glitch in Firefox itself that may have somehow come up. Though how and why I have no earthly clue, as prior to last Monday there was no issue, as I said earlier. More unusually sometimes the effect vanishes on videos where it's shown up.
I have tried to screenhot this and it /never/ appears in screenshots, and doesn't show up when paused either. I've even tried to take a picture of it with my phone or record it with said. Also no luck. I /have/ however, been able to find a video that does this affect deliberately, so I can at least present it here. Again, this is not consistent, seems to move around the screen, and only seems to occur on those three video sites as I stated. Apparently whatever the issue is, it's /NOT/ something to do with the hardware acceleration, as I learned, again, that WaterfoxClassic /does/ use it and it is active in that browser, and was active when I first tried it, so that narrows it down to some kind of glitch either with Firefox or Windows and how it interacts with either the former or the latter, depending on where the glitch is coming from.
Does anyone have any idea what's causing this?
The image attached is an example of what I'm seeing, however, bear in mind that this video is /deliberately/ showing this effect in an attempt to replicate the type of thing one might see on old video tapes being played after years of disuse, but it /is/ the same general appearance, more or less, of what I occasionally see on Firefox when using the videos on the above mentioned sites.

I type with two different languages with my keyboard, and sometimes I forget to switch between them. I want a simple add-on that for example changes "اثممخ" to "hello". The second language on my keyboard is Persian, but Arabic still works.
Ideally the add-on would have a textbox with a simple button next to it to do this.
I have searched A LOT and to be honest I didn't exactly know what keywords to search so I had to simply ask the community!

I don’t know where to report this bug. On Appstore, I feedback in the comment, but no one see or response it for a very long time. So I hope you need to fix this issue soon, because it’s very annoying and very bad experienced.
Thank you.

I installed a portable version and its working great. But when I click a link in an email another version is launched. I can tell because the number of extensions that are present are different in each. I've looked for it in the usual location in C:\Program Files but its not there. It doesn't seem to be anywhere on C, I searched with Ultrasearch. And the portable version is in just 1 location on D. Where else could it be? I did notice that there seems to be 2 versions of Firefox within the portable version but could they both be used? I went into Control Panel, Default Programs and noticed there is both Firefox and Mozilla Firefox Portable Edition to choose from. Huh??? The non-portable edition seems to be hiding somewhere but I have no idea where it could be.
