My bank website asks for pin and password codes but each character option displays the fancy Firefox symbol which I can;t delete. The passwords for the site have never been saved but I can't enter the correct password characters because I can't override the symbol. I'm having to access this bank account on Chrome unfortunately. Most frustrating because the website is not listed in "Saved passwords" so I can't edit it! Thanks Mike Bathgate

I've tried 7 times to import my bookmarks from Chrome into Firefox. Firefox says that the import was successful each time, but the bookmarks aren't showing up in the Bookmark Tool Bar. It's only showing the older import, not the latest. If I go to one of the new pages, it shows that it is bookmarked, but the list that it belongs to is nowhere to be found....

So how do I update to the newly imported "Imported From Firefox" folder?

While I enjoy the capability of selecting a search engine as I see fit, I would prefer that my local drives take precedence. Is there an easy way to enable this for everyday casual use? In other words, can I specify "search local drives first, followed by the web i.e. casting a wider net to search on the world wide web, and an arbitrary third placeholder such as foreign sources (example only) or foreign news items (again, fictitious example)

I had 10 or so tabs open on my laptop. I rebooted my laptop because iMessages failed, and i forgot to make a note of which tabs were open. They didn't restore upon rebooting. Is there somewhere this history gets synced? Its not in the 'recently closed tabs' because some of the tabs had been open for a while. thoughts?

Every time I access the web I get a report from Norton saying "Threat secured". It attaches every single website that I open. See attachment for some exmaples (only variabole part of message shown apart from first one).This is occuring 50+ times a day but does not occur using Edge, so it appears to be related to Firefox. PLEASE help. Norton have not helped with this. Thank you- Colin O'Brien

Can't login using Firefox main window but can using Private Window???

Problem logging onto Zoho Mail with Firefox.

I have been using both Firefox and Zoho Mail for many years. Now, for some reason, Firefox seems to have a problem completing the Zoho Mail login from the same bookmark I have been using for years, or from a direct URL. The same Firefox installation cannot access Google Maps from a bookmark or directly using a complete URL, but does access some other applications as always.

Now the curious (to me, anyway) part. If I open a new private Firefox window, I can log into both Zoho Mail and Google Maps as I used to from the Firefox private window using bookmarks.

This helps me pinpoint Firefox as the problem – one part working, the other not.

My Firefox is up to date [Version 140.0.4 (64 bit)], and I have scanned all 1,350,000-plus files on my system for viruses and potential startup issues.

Should I reinstall Firefox? If so, how do I do that while keeping my bookmarks and password files?

If I use another browser (i.e., “Google Chrome), I can access both Zoho Mail and Google Maps with no difficulty. That is not a solution for me.

Firefox has been my foundation browser for decades. I don’t want to have to use anything else.

I switched my default search engine from Google to Bing. As you can see in the attached screenshot, it should be searching with Bing. But for some reason the search results are always Google. How do I fix this? I haven't refreshed Firefox yet. I was hoping to avoid that.
