Putting FireFox on my "New" MacBook

This will be a long question and in 2 parts, so I'll apologize up front.

1. I am running FireFox on my 11-year old MacBook and love it (MacOS Mojave version 10.14.6). However, my printer just crapped out, and my new HP 9120e requires MacOS Big Sur (11.x.x) or later. If I update to that OS, will I still be able to use FireFox? If so, where do I find it (see Question 2, below)?

2. Since my old MacBook is clearly reaching the end of it's life and my Excel and Word apps are also ancient, I am trying to transfer all my stuff onto a "New" MacBook that is running MacOS Monterey version 12.0.1. However, the "New" computer (I will not say "improved") has been a reliability nightmare and I just had it in for service. They wiped my disk clean to install the Monterey OS. So, other than Safari, I have no browser (or anything else for that matter). When I go to the App Store to download FireFox, and don't see it anywhere. Help!

When I opened Firefox today, ALL of my bookmarks were gone. There was a message saying that they couldn't be accessed, and that sometimes securiity software incompatibility is the culprit. I'm also now unable to create any new bookmarks. I have no idea what may have updated, and don't know whether to blame you, Windows/MS, Xfinity, or the McAfee prompt which keeps trying to get me to finish installing something I never intended to install in the first place, but can't get rid of. How do I get browser bookmarks back?????

I have followed all the Restore instructions to get my 1 plus years of bookmaarks back. Manage Bookmarks application will not open or show ther ever where any backed up files. The steps " Manage Bookmarks/Import/Choose File" function never responds or directs me to select a folder. There are two folders on my Desktop that are named Firefox Bookmarks. See attached screenshots.

i specificly have a firefox acount soo i can acess my bookmarks if something happens to my pc. now that it did and i had to format it, unfortunatly i forgot my password. i didnt even try any false ones couse usually you can save your Data by verifing your acount over emeil when requesting a new one. but after doing that its all gone. 10 years of bookmarks gone. how do i get back my bookmarks? i never agreed to this kind of security feature. i dont think its agood thing, and i never saved any infos that could get misused if stolen so such a feature as earasing my data is unwanted.

Hello,

as the title suggests, I moved my whole profile folder to a new PC, and have since formated my old PC. I just noticed that the key4.db file is missing from the old profile folder. I have followed all instructions I managed to google, which ensured that it was enough to just copy over the old folder content into the new one, nowhere was it mentioned to look after if a key4 or key3 file are present. How is it possible that multiple of your support articles don't mention this? I am now stuck with only a json.login file from my old profile and no way to import my saved logins to the new PC.

I am definitely not interested in bells and whistles. Just want basic program. The new update ate my current settings and book marks. Did not create a backfile with my profile. Your help process sucks big time. Do you even do beta testing before you send them out?
