Hello everyone, I recently just restarted and re-downloaded the new Firefox update but for some reason none of my bookmarks, passwords, tabs, history, or anything was saved. It basically wiped my Firefox clean and i don't know how to get everything back. Anyone know what I should do? Appreciate the help! Thanks.

I have a Mac and every time I quit Firefox, when I reopen the program all of my bookmarks and passwords are gone and I have to re-login to my Firefox account every time I open the program. Once I re-login all my passwords and bookmarks come back, but I don't want to login to Firefox every time I open the program. Is there anyway I can get it to stay logged in even after I've quit Firefox?

I have been experiencing this weird problem since I updated my Mac from Catalina to Big Sur. On full screen mode, the menu bar is normally hidden and whenever I hover the mouse pointer at the top, the menu bar automatically becomes visible. Sometimes, without any pattern, the menu bar stays there even I hover the mouse pointer the bottom or somewhere. To solve this, I always need to quit and full screen mode. As far as I know, this happens only in Firefox. Is there anyone having such an issue (and a solution for this)?

I have the same problem. It's really very annoying. Any suggestions?

HI I am a trainer and web developper and in all trainings and as a designer I am using the Firefox Inspector. This morning, suddenly the menu under EXTRAS is not showing anymore the "INSPECTOR". Don't know what has changed! I installed Firefox again, no change! I know, that I can still activate the inspector via OPTION COMMAND C but this is not very intuitive for my trainings! See screenshot: What happened? Any ideas?

Thank you in advance! Mathias Will

Hello there!

For a while Firefox has been rendering some websites incorrectly. I don't see any regularity in which ones do and which ones don't. Currently I have 87.0 (64-bit) but it was like that before. Two examples: https://www.dreamstime.com/ and https://www.conrad.de/ The display is a total mess of Latin characters overlaid without character spacing, plus punctuation. I could not find any non-Latin characters. If I copypaste a line from the website, I get normal text again. What is going on? Where can I adjust the character encoding and render settings?

Hi everyone,

I'd like my new tab page to be a local html file (that uses .js scripts and local image files so I cannot use this add-on or that one).

A few versions of Firefox ago, the method described [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1251199|here] worked perfectly fine but it's not the case any more.

I'm using MacOS version 11.2.2 and the latest version of Firefox (87.0 64 bits).

Thanks in advance to anyone who will be able to provide help! Best, Léo

Well, the first thing is when I logged back in from a restart, firefox wouldn't open. It would just say "firefox quit unexpectedly" over and over again and I restarted over and over again. I used AppCleaner to delete (not permanently) the old Firefox then downloaded Firefox from another browser (which I'm writing from right now, Opera) but even though it worked, the links in bookmarks had no logo, my add-ons weren't in the right order, and none of my preferences were saved. What should I do?

Is there a way to assign a name or alias to websites listed in the Logins & Passwords manager? I'm helping my dad set up an account for billpay for company A who uses Company B to provide the payment functionality. The problem is Company B's URL has no reference to Company A at all and that's where the login and pw are configured. My dad won't know to look for Company B's URL in Logins & Passwords. Heck, it took me awhile to figure out the credentials were saved under Company B; I kept searching for Company A. It would make life much easier if I could alias company B's URL or add a keyword to it. Thanks for any assistance.

hi, whoever reads this. I've noticed a problem recently in some websites where certain elements (e.g. logos and icons) completely disappear and get replaced by strings of text, which I'm assuming is the code that is used to create them. Usually, it's just one icon, typically a search or menu icon, but there have been more drastic cases, such as the screenshot of the Encyclopaedia Britannica website that I attached. Notice that many buttons, while still functional, are covered with strange text. One thing I'm suspecting is that I intentionally or inadvertently disabled an element (or something of that sort, sorry for my ignorance in the specificities) ages ago that was supposed to make these work, but I don't remember what I disabled, if I ever did. But other than that, I have no clue what causes this. In Tor, where I don't have an account and never interfered with the setup or settings, everything seems to work just fine; the buttons are right there. Hope someone can be of help.
