Hello,
The pop-up blocker exceptions are not working for some sites which I, of course, use a lot. The sites are listed in the exceptions, but Firefox stubbornly continues to block them. I sincerly consider walking away from Firefox (notwithstanding I love it and being a long term user), because it happens with sites I frequently use on a daily base.
I've looked around but none of the solutions work for me as those articles are rather old.
My version of Firefox: 99.0.1 (64bit) running under Windows 10 Pro
Hoping to find a solution here.

Hello
I do not understand how firefox sync is supposed to work. I have a desktop and a laptop. The desktop is FF 85 on Linux Mint (I cannot get a later version due to some querk) The laptop is 99 on Windows 10 Both are signed in to sync but my bookmarks were scrambled so I signed out the laptop and cleared the profile, cleaned up the bookmarks in the desktop and to be safe I tried just syncing the tabs, not the bookmarks, by opening the fresh firefox on the laptop and signing in again. In the sidebar under my account icon I clicked "Synchronise now" and the open tabs from my desktop appeared in a list underneath, jumbled up. (I have 2 separate windows open on the desktop with different tabs in each, but this separation was not followed either, there didn’t seem to be any provision for syncing tabs in two separate windows)
But the row of tabs didn’t open, all I can do is open them one by one from the list on the right, this is a slow process as every time I click on a tab in the list the new page opens in the same single tab, not a new one, but the sidebar closes again.
Is this what’s supposed to happen? I was expecting the synced row of tabs to open automatically.
This feature would have been useful as my OS on the desktop, (Linux Mint) tends to crash and to have the on the laptop would be a good backup.
Incidentally the other way I try to back up the lost tabs is to select them all and bookmark them to a new folder which I call “backup” but it seems this doesn’t necessarily duplicate them, which I would prefer, so any of the open tabs that were previously bookmarked risk being removed from the original bookmarked folder, without my noticing, and I am therefore reluctant to delete the backup folder without checking that it doesn’t contain the only bookmark of a page.
When I came back to syncing the bookmarks, how do I avoid them getting scrambled again?

I decided I needed to use a password to enter my emails. By following my nose, I went to settings and checked the box to use a primary password. It then asked for a password. I typed it in... twice. Once, then confirm. Now, I can't enter my email no matter how many times I type in the password. I've tried resetting the password by going to chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xhtml. It says password was reset but nothing has changed, it did not ask me for a new password, and I still can't get in. Frustration has set in. Thank you for any help you can give tome.

How do I stop this BS? I have several hundred pages bookmarked, and now after the last time I allowed firefox to update, I am unable to access 90% of them as I get the above message.
I would hope that I don't have to change browsers as all of the others I am aware of suck.

Hey there,
When first opening the MozillaVPN app (in Linux) it gave me to option to consent or decline to data collection of technical information. I consented but would like to decline/turn it off. I know how to do this for the Firefox browser, through the settings and privacy tab; however, I'm having trouble finding a way to turn off / opt-out for MozillaVPN.
Thanks!
(I'm asking this question in this Firefox forum because I was unable to make a new post in the MozillaVPN forum.)

Hello, since migrating from Chrome to Firefox, I have used the Import Wizard to successfully transfer over my bookmarks and history, but I just can't seem to get my logins/passwords over. The wizard finishes saying that it successfully imported saved logins and passwords, but nothing shows up in the password manager. I am running Windows 10 64bit and Firefox is up to date. Anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks

Firefox 91.7.0esr (64-bit) Windows 10 The local system has the font OCRB (also named OcrbATA) installed in the normal windows location: c:\windows\fonts\ocrbata.ttf
The SVG graphic is loaded from the local file system directly (FILE: not via HTTP: or HTTPS:) by using the Windows File Explorer.
The text in the graphic is specified to use the font family OCRB and I also tried OcrbATA (because Windows font naming is odd and has two different names displayed: the font name: Ocrb and the Full Name: OcrbATA.
The text in the graphic is only displayed in a fallback font (such as the browser specified default font), which produces the wrong rendering.
Looking for the font in the Firefox 'settings' for the "Fonts and Colors" dialog drop down, I see that this font is NOT shown in the list. OCR A is show, which is also installed on the system, but OCRB is not shown. I suspect this may be a symptom of why Firefox isn't making use of the installed OCRB font.
Having looked at a similar thread, I confirmed that "privacy.resistFingerprinting" is at its default of false. And "layout.css.font-visibility.level" is at the default of "3".
Any idea why Firefox, will not make use of the system installed font, when the file to display wants to use that font?
I would attach the SVG to this but the 'Upload Images' dialog only accepts raster images, not vector types like SVG. The attached images show the Windows 10 font dialog for the OCRB font with a sample string rendered, the Character Map for that font, so you can see the glyphs it uses, and the Firefox rendering of the SVG file which is just using the default firefox font to render, despite the text specifying OcrbATA as the font family in the SVG. For example:
<tspan font-family="OcrbATA" fill="rgb(120,120,120)" font-size="332" >Special Symbol Testing:</tspan>
