So this would be a question about a situation that I have been involved with before and any attempt at finding a reasonable solution that would help resolve this dilemma has been quite difficult to find. And so, I will paint a portrait of the scenario:

So hypothetically, let's assume that <User> has Two-step Authentication activated on Mozilla Firefox and is on a weekend excursion of the Mighty Mississippi River and so happens to lose that phone to the surging undercurrents and a tumultuous exodus to those murky depths, but On Top of This Person's Game, quickly attains a new phone (yet in a moment of rushed deliberation and penchant to make some minor miscalculations (to spice things up, of course) couldn't keep the old phone number.

And so, in the course of updating the newer phone version and the number on numerous sites and has arrived at finally updating Mozilla Firefox account, which asks to Two-step Authenticate by sending the code to the bottom of the Mississippi River (or some bull shark's belly (who is most likely very confused about why his lunch is buzzing and starts to be concerned about his own gut health issues).

And so, the Issue at hand is, how does one get thru the Two-step process, which only seems extremely eclectic about sending codes to that ex-phone instead of paying attention to this newer, younger phone version.

Thanks in advance, - Lost in a River

Hi, My 2019 16" MacPro crashed when I downloaded the new Ventura OS. Only fix, per Apple, was to wipe the disk clean and reload the OS (Ventura 13.0.1). I reloaded and I lost my Firefoz and all the bookmarks I had. I need to retrieve them. How do I do that?

I need a: archive(store)/underachieve(restore} one Firefox "window of tabs" function

WHY?: I use the "Firefox program" itself, as a "High Level Logic Function" (i.e. a TOOL!).

THIS IS HOW: I may be researching up to 50/100, subjects/topics/interests, concurrently!

I use one Firefox window per subject. Each of the "Subject Windows", may contain 20 to 50 tabs, that are relevant to the subject being queried, until subject has been answered/resolved/placated.


PROGRAM DESIGN (software specification ... chortle!):

1) Each archived "window of tabs", would l can given A subject name, and appear in a list archived windows, to be restored, deleted, update/changed (with tab changes), shared with collages, coworker, even sent in a email!!

2) Your "History" function already has a last closed windows, last closed tabs, SO IT SHOULD NOT TAKE GREAT SOFTWARE ENGINEERING EFFORT ...

3) "Buckle your shoe ..."


PERKS: Besides may my insignificant needs, a "archive(store)/underachieve(restore} one Firefox "window of tabs" function", would let foxfire execute normally, with out bogging the whole Microsoft operation system down to a crawl, or "go catatonic"!

Of course, this not fault of Firefox! Fox example, I just installed "Windows 11 Pro". When I looked under the hood, I found that NONE of the window error reporting systems could log data, because, the "Windows 11 Pro" operating system, is unable the find "C:\",the only drive in my laptop.

Left hand ... Right hand ... the list of atrocities when on! I just had a new desktop folder, "Microsoft's Hospital for the Criminally INSANE", and dump'd the "bad news" there.


Some other related, Firefox execution problems:

WHEN I HAVE 20ish windows open, with 1, 10, 20, tabs per window, the system crashes, like clock work!!

Further I constantly it the "Firefox  ---- is not responding" frozen window announcement!

Concurrently, everything is also semi-frozen too.


I summary, PLEASE made the "archive(store)/underachieve(restore} one Firefox "window of tabs" function" a reality!!!

If you will, I will come up with a name for the function, that intuitive, yet is catchy, that it will shine like a small jewel in the Firefox panoply ...


THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME,

P.S I want NOTHING for the idea, only the joy on using it! Later tonight, I will be installing a new printer with it's device drivers, and application programs.

AT WITCH POINT, WILL HAVE TO CLOSE FIREFOX,

 AND LOOSE 25 PLUS OPEN "FIREFOX WINDOWS",  
WITH 100'S OF  RESEARCH DATUM TABS!!!
ABOUT 6,TO 8  MONTHS OF WORK ..

And yeah, there have always been the bookmark systems, going back to the "Hyper Links" in DOS (which sooner, or later, GRENADE'D the hard drive).


Bookmarks are for warehouse, basement archive,

But the: "Firefox data amphitheater";

             "Firefox data auditorium"; 
              archive(store)/underachieve(restore} one Firefox "window of tabs" function
            "FIREFOX WINDOWS""Subject Windows" ...
           What ever you name it
           It is the easiest, direct way of researching multiple subjects, concurrently, and in your face instantly ..

Good day I have been a firefox user for donkey years and recently I have started experience SLUGGISHNESS and the TABS keep on CRASHING.

I have noticed it happens every time with GoDaddy and when I look at the Task running it shows that there are 16+ TABS open and currently I only have 3 tabs open with the settings tab and support tab open

I would appreciate any help as I really do not want to move over to CHROME :(

AS I WAS MAKING THE SCREENSHOT IT THEN SHOWS 10 TABS OPEN

About every month or so Firefox decides to delete my login info and i have to relog everywhere again.

While this is not a critical issue, its a very annoying one.

My cookie settings are on standard, and the "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" square is unticked. I use Dashlane for my passwords but ive used it for a long time before on mozilla and other browsers and i've never had issues with it.

Everytime I try to send a politically sensitive email. I get disconnected from my server and my email is disabled. I am running PC Matic malware protection, a VPN. It doesn't matter. Big Brother is always looking over my shoulder, suppressing everything that they deem is not in line with the governments agenda. I have been shut out of my browser on occasion, so I can't get to my banking login. They have scrambled and deleted certain contacts on my contact list. I have changed my email, passwords, ISP, computer now using Windows10, upgraded everything but still cannot block this monitoring system. If I write a letter to my MPP my computer noticeably slows down and just locks up, they change my port settings, etc so I can not send it. Whatever monitoring program walks right past my VPN, kicks my PC Matic aside and simply locks me out, I have been to our local police station, the RCMP. they say the government can do as they please and I have no say!!!! This is a profound violation of our Charter of Rights. How can I find out who is at the root of this and how do I stop it? could you find out who is doing this to me? Would you have any suggestions on how to block this electronic eavesdropping. Thanking you in advance for your help in this matter I remain yours truly Greg Mahoney

Ever since I loaded version yesterday Firefox periodically crashes when undertaking normal functions. For example I will load a set of tabs that i have been loading for years and now doing so causes a crash. Worse still of the 8 to 10 crashes I have experienced in the last 24 hours only 2 are recorded on the "about:crashes" feature and one of those fails when you attempt to submit it.

Now this has only started hapening since I upgraded to version 107. It is clearly somerthing to do with that update and the only further thing I can think to do is a full reboot in case some rogue process is interfering with the new version.

NB Please note I'm not interested in excuses about add-ons and the rest being the problem. it was this update that has destabilised my browser. Your Update. Your problem. Own it.
