I have been trying to add my accounts to Thunderbird and had good success with gmail but wasn't able for Microsoft accounts. As I said in another thread (can't find the message anymore), I have 2 microsoft email account (one live.ca and one hotmail.com) and they both don't work. I was able to add them in Outlook desktop app and EM Client (a non open source software i'd rather not use) through IMAP with success. IMAP is activated in both accounts and as per Microsoft documentation the server is supposed to be outlook.office365.com on port 993. eM Client magically discover IMAP settings to imap-mail.outlook.com instead. Thunderbird opens an OAuth page and then it redirects from microsoftonline.com to localhost and fail with "Unable to connect".

2FA not activated in one account, if that matters. I have nothing running on port 80 if that matters.

I followed the advise and removed all the profiles from my laptop. (Copies are on an external hard drive.) And I used the download file from the Mozilla community site which is 490 KB versus the 375 KB download file from firefox.com just in case the smaller file was corrupted. But I still got the Profile Missing error message.

I am trying to simulate a laptop that has never used Firefox and so can't say that "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded.  It may be missing or inaccessible."  I uninstalled Firefox using the Installed Apps page. Can there be fragments of Firefox that I need to hunt down and remove? I also removed the Old Firefox Data folder from the desktop.

How can I successfully install Firefox? Then I will use my old profiles that contain all my bookmarks.

When I click on the star icon in the address bar the star icon is filled in, and existing bookmarks show with the filled-in star icon. But I no longer get a dropdown where I can edit, tag, or delete an existing bookmark, and URLs I click on don't show up in Recently Bookmarked so they haven't been added.

The places.sqlite file in my profile is not read-only, and I restarted Firefox (stupidly, before I took a screenshot of the pinned shortcuts on my new tabs page) and that made no difference.

Thanks in advance for any help!

On my home screen, the visited sites are all crammed to one side, lower left, and all narrow in their appearance. I prefer they look as they did before, with the "tabs" or site boxes along the bottom of my regular sites. And I can't seem to "delete" the sites I visit; I can only dismiss them. And that often doesn't work as well either.

I cannot log in to Amazon.ca using Firefox. When I input my email address to Amazon, it says I look like a new customer so let's set up an account. I am not a new customer and my account on Amazon works fine if I sign in through the Chrome browser. I have tried refreshing Firefox and also tried using Troubleshoot Mode, but the problem with Firefox persists. Is there a fix? Firefox must be blocking some type of data that Amazon requires but even white-listing the website doesn't seem to work.

Hi,

I searched the web for deleting the item "Weitere Lesezeichen" in the sidebar. I found only solutions for the firefox 85. In Firefox 85 should be a field for hiding this. Although in Firefox 150 it can`t be hided or deleted. I don`t need and I don`t want this "Weitere Lesezeichen". Any solutions?

Never before problem with my Windows 11 Desktop frequently shows an incorrect location. Firefox shows my location as Parkdale, Victoria. Australia and not my correct Florida location. This is a recent Firefox issue. Location is correct in Edge and Chrome. Location is correct on my Iphone and Ipad. A new install of Firefox on a second Windows 11 PC also shows the incorrect Australia location. Changing proxy settings makes no difference. A clean install of Firefox made no difference. Changing browser made no difference. This is a recent problem and unique to Firefox. Thanks
