For the past few months, Firefox V 115, will not save bookmarks on any folder except Bookmarks Toolbar. I have gone through the Help sections and have followed the various steps to find, and change, the bookmark files. They are always marked 'read only'. I change them and try to save a bookmark. Nothing. When I restart Firefox, the files are back to 'read only' again. What am I doing wrong?

How do I solve this problem?

My website https://www.kdka100.org will not load all data on its front page on Firefox, but works fine on Edge and Chrome. I have looked for settings to correct but to no avail. I spoke to the hosting company and all certificates should be OK now. The front page portion being blocked has photos which use the rollover feature to display text. The rest of the site appears to be working as it should. Any help appreciated.

"switch to tab" under search suggestions in search bar is a terrible idea, please give an option to remove it.

In my search suggestions in the search bar, when I click "youtube.com" for this example, it now says "switch to tab" which automatically switches to an open youtube tab, rather than opening a new tab.

There is no way to turn this 'feature' off. It doesn't let me pick which youtube tab it switches to, just the first one regardless of how many instances of a website there are open.

Please remove this feature, or give us a way to turn it off.

The website I'm using most is 9gag.com

I can get the website to load again by choosing exit in Firefox to clear out all my data, then re-opening Firefox and logging in from scratch.

It will just hang on load screen, usually what you see before data begins to load.

I can reproduce it by removing Firefox from recents, then launching it again and re-opening the existing tab, or even a new one.

I've been fighting this for a week now, and dont remeber every detail in exact chronolgical order, and really don't remember the "why's". Butt here goes, got a new pc, while trying to get all accounts moved to new pc, I changed pwd's, I think so I could install a new recovery key. Anyway, signed in with new pc, and phone, went back to the old computer to sync, since all three devices would be under new log in, and tried to sign in, using new password, and it did not work ("wrong password"), confused went to new pc, I was now signed out, and got the "wrong password" error, phone same issue, logged in, now logged out, can't sign in.

I have tried using the old pw, the new pw, but the old key is nowhere to be found, the new key, and everything else I can think of. I had to create a new account to be able to post here, or do anything else, tried to combine the two acct's, got a sign in was successful message, but then immediately said "you don't have permission".

Please tell me I did not lose over 250 bookmarks and passwords, because someone decided it was a good idea to tie all your information to one word and have it deleted if you have a brain fart, or a pc glitch with no hope of recovery. If you need more info please ask, at this point I'll give you my first born son to get back in this account.

I installed the latest Nightly version 116.0a1 today (June 12), and it won't open. The only error message that shows is one asking to clear the browser's history in order to open it. I haven't done that yet. Clearing the cache and restarting the app does not solve the problem.

This is happening on a OnePlus 7T using Android 12 (T-Mobile version).
