I recently (19th of May) had to reinstall Linux. I thought I had everything backed up, but apparently I forgot to backup my Firefox profile.

I'd lost a few years of bookmarks and my current session, but c'est la vie, back up better next time. I *did* have Firefox Sync, but after checking the support forums saying Sync is not a backup tool, I'd lost hope.

I *did* have an older device, so I booted that up to get up to about 18 months ago. But when I did so, I was able to get history and bookmarks up to the 14th of April (this year), despite not booting that device since long before then.

I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth, but where did this come from, and could the other 4 weeks be hiding there?

Hi, I'm unable to change my Firefox Account password.

I navigate to the Manage Account page, click Change next to Password and enter my old and new password and nothing happens. The page gives no indication that the change has applied and my password remains the same.

I have also tried this in a private window, on Google Chrome and on my phone and the same thing happens.

When I log in to the account of the Firefox browser to synchronize my settings, I find that there may be two different bookmark bars and extension settings. This phenomenon mainly occurs when I use the native browser of Ubuntu and connect to the Internet But the browser I downloaded from firefox china works most of the time Is there any way to eliminate this phenomenon? Perhaps specify an update and synchronization server?

I updadet from the normal version to 89.0 but still nothing working. Anyone got any ideas?

I have noticed that recently a lot of well-known and trusted sites(eg- youtube) are showing connection not secure (Parts of page are not secure such as images and any information that you share may be leaked -passwords etc) . Sometimes when I reload the site, it again shows connection secure.

Is this a glitch or something to be worried about and is there a solution?

I have a problem with some JavaScript code that is run on a hashchange event.

The code updates the web document, and also the document.title. The document.title is modified last.

If not modifying document.title, everything works fine. If updating document.title, the code sometimes fails, but not always. The symptoms are as follows.

  • The document.title is updated correctly, according to the A-tag with the hash URL that was clicked.
  • The URL field in the browser is not updated to the new value.
  • Non of the other document updates are done, even if they are performed on the code lines before changing document.title.

If a move the mouse outside Firefox and click in another window, the browser URL field is updated and the rest of the document is updated.

I then tried the code in google-chrome. There everything works fine.

If I add a console.log() in the hashchange eventhandler, everything works fine. Another work-around is to use window.setTimeout and delay modification of document.title by e.g. 10ms.

Is this a problem in Firefox, or am I not supposed to modify document.title on the hashchange event?

I am using Firefox 88.01 for Fedora 33.

I guess I should not include HTML and JavaScript in this editor?

I am suffering from slow load times -- especially the first time when the firefox is loaded for that day. Likewise there is a big pause when I go into settings -- saved usernames/passwords. Over the years I built up thousands of these pairings..

How can I easily remove all the old ones - say a year or older?

Please don't say, select the one, click delete, answer to are you sure prompt etc, as these actions take ages to do one at a time.

Hi,

Am I the only one plagued with an issue about the option "View" > "Toolbars" > "Bookmarks Toolbar" > "Only Show on new Tab" ?

It finally used to work until version 88

(prior to that I had to use custom css tricks)

With 89, it does not work anymore

After migrating from Firefox 87 to 88.0.1 under linux-64 (debian 10), the browser became very slow. Typing has a delay of 2-3 seconds between end of type and appearence on screen. Same for loading pages. Migrating back to firefox 87 is a nuisance since part of the setup is lost and mozilla keeps insisting daily to switch to firefox 88. The articles in "Fix slowness" do not seem to help.

Any suggestion?

For quite some time now I've had keyword.enabled set to false in my about:config because I don't like having the address bar try to autocomplete or turn things into search, when I do a ctrl-l.

I do like that I am still able to use ctrl-k to do a search when I need to. This would place a ? at the start of the field and whatever I type gets sent to search.

In a recent upgrade, ctrl-k still places the ? at the start of the address bar but doesn't send things to search. Instead, it now behaves as if I did a ctrl-l and typed in a bad URL.

I'm on Firefox 80 (on Fedora 32) but I can't be exactly sure which upgrade brought this change in behavior.

Is there a way to get the old behavior back? ctrl-l to enter a URL, ctrl-k to search.

The 89.0 update is great, but I'm disappointed by the new homepage (see the picture). The font is too small, and if I scale the page, the lower row doesn't fit to the screen. A good option would be to remove the useless huge Firefox logo in the middle of the page and to shift the search bar up. Then I could just scale the page. Is there a way to do it?

Changing fonts on every page is not a satisfying solution, I only want to fix the homepage.

I have an automated process to download new Mozilla releases: It downloads them, downloads the SHA file, checks the SHA file's PGP signature, then checks the file's SHA hash.

Today, while downloading Firefox 89.0, It bombed out, telling me that the signing key is "4360FE2109C49763186F8E21EBE41E90F6F12F6D", and that I don't have that public key.

No problem, I thought. Mozilla's probably just got a new signing key. I'll just grab a copy from the keyservers.

But I can't. It doesn't appear on any of the three keyservers I tried (MIT, PGP Global Directory, or key-server.io). Have I missed something? If it's only available on the Mozilla website, that doesn't sound very safe. PGP public keys are supposed to be, well, publicly available.

So where's the key?
