Without using Sync, what is the easiest way to transfer my Firefox passwords from my old Mac (running OS X 10.6.8) to a new Mac (running 10.15.1)?
Is it as simple as moving the old logins.json and key3.db files from the old Firefox Profile folder to the new Firefox Profile folder?
Can I copy the old Firefox Profiles folder and replace the Profile folder in the new Mac with a copy (to get all my bookmarks & passwords)?

Firefox won't let me login my Office 365 College email account anymore but Microsoft Edge or Explorer do

I use to be able to log on my Office 365 college email account with Firefox, but now it is not working anymore. When I click on the email link of my college website, it is suppose to open a new tab directing me to my Office 365 college email. But now the tab leads to Office 365 main login page with my college email address and a box to enter my password. When I enter my password, it says it doesn't recognize my email account or password. I already called my college IT department and they told me it was an issue with Firefox, not the college account. I can access my college email account with Explorer or Edge, but not with Firefox anymore. It did an update the other day, and it worked again for a couple days. Now it's not working again. Can someone help please?

I am running the latest beta version (45.0b1) and whenever i close out of firefox the search bar is missing and i have to go into the customization menu and add it back to my menu bar. All my bookmarks remain, and all the changes i initially made to the menu are there, but the search bar keeps getting removed. When i updated to the latest beta version everything was fine. Now all of a sudden my search bar disappears every time i open a new session.

I'm about to factory reset my internal SD card for an update and I really don't want to lose my profile.
The Copy Profiles addon has not worked for me, and I cannot find enough information about whether Titanium backup will actually save the profile (I do have Backup app external data enabled).
I can't even seem to find much info on the location of the profile or other methods to copy it with adb either.
Please, can you provide any options for me?

I prefer my own system that I have been using for years. I definitely do not want records of deleted files sitting there in Smart Views. Once deleted, I want them to stay gone.

When visiting a website like mls.ca for example I am unable to click or type in the text box to select a location. The hand appears when hovering over the text box but the cursor fails to show, the click is ignored.
I removed Firefox using Revo uninstaller to ensure all data was removed. Surprise, surprise, on re-installing everything I had before was back including this issue.
It works fine in Opera.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Fresh windows 10 install. First program installed was firefox 45.0b2 (have already tried none-beta). And went immediately to netflix. The artefacts spread beyond the browser onto the desktop. I do not have this problem in edge. Using a gtx970. Firefox x64, windows 10 pro x64. Problem is isolated to netflix only.

Hello, is there a way to reopen the last closed tab with a middle click on the tab bar? A preference in about:config would be better, or a very simple addon (preferably with only this feature). I don't want to install "monster" addons like Tab Mix Plus or Session Restore.
Thanks in advance.
Firefox and Youtube stop audio driver from working (Reloop Play)

Hello. New issue i never had before. For the last couple of months while i'm playing youtube videos in Firefox, or even just leave it there in stand-by the audio driver of my external usb audio interface (Reloop play) will freeze / crash, forcing me to unplug the usb cord and put it in again.
This issue only happens with Firefox, i use Chrome too and i don't have the problem. The issue started from some update of Firefox back in version 43 or so and still persists now. I have also enabled VP9 / webm support and it doesn't make a difference.
I'm using Reloop Play GEN 1 Driver v2.9.73, on Windows 10, (driver can be found here: http://www.reloop.com/media/custom/upload/223373/223373%20Driver%202.9.73%20FW%200+%20Win.zip ) and basically when the driver "crashes" is more like freezing/stuck. If i go to playback devices in windows it will show that Reloop Play audio device still outputs a signal constantly (the bar graph stays green 3-4 bars). I checked the event log and there is no events regarding the issue. Also this happens at random intervals, sometimes every 2 minutes, others it might take 10 minutes, but it is definitely annoying.
I know there should be a solution with Firefox, but the blame is on Reloop too because the drivers have always been buggy (blame usb-audio.de/Ploytec which makes the drivers for them). I've also asked on Reloop's forum for support, but is there a way to debug this?
Kind regards, Ken

Not too sure how to describe this, but ever since I got my new laptop a week or two ago, this has been driving me crazy. Once every hour or two, my FIrefox browser will slowly fade into view, with only part of the UI visible. YOu can see what happens by comparing these two screenshots: paulrittman.com/Fading.png
When the UI is slowly fading, I can run my cursor over the blank parts, and they will become visible when the cursor runs over them.
I think this is in some way connected with either Windows 10, my i7 quad core chip, or my graphics (Intel Integrated graphics 530 or 520, I forget). I never saw this before I got my new laptop.
WHat I have tried: pretty much everything. Running FF with addons disabled; new versions of FF (38 ESR, beta, 32 & 64 bit, FDE; e10s enabled & disabled). I am fairly certain that it is not a profile issue, as i installed a new profile when I got my laptop, bringing over only bookmarks and passwords. A new profile with FDE and I saw it within a few minutes of installing all my addons into that profile.
This is not cheap hardware--the graphics is not the best, but it still should be pretty good. I did install a new graphics driver that came out late Jan or early Feb---no change.

I normally have all three data selection options selected in all my FF profiles.
Last few days, I have been troubleshooting, and I looked into my addons manager and saw that link titled Experiments. Lo and behold, I was a participant in the A/B testing. I'm not complaining about this; in the past I actually installed a MoCo extension that signed me up for stuff like this.
My concern is that I want to temporarily opt out. I removed the Experiment listed, and then unchecked telemetry, because that was mentioned in the experiment.
My question: by removing the Experiment, and unchecking telemetry, have I unsubscribed from participating from any further experiments?
Again, I don't have a problem with this--I normally have telemetry checked--its just that I want to reduce all the factors that might be inducing a problem with my browser.
