Hello I noticed that only files with size less than 8.5 MB are saved in the cache directory of my hard drive. Is it possible to change the system to save also larger files in this directory? Is it connected with other programs, like CCleaner?

I got a new computer. When i went to firefox to import my favorites it wouldnt accept my password and said it was too short. I was forced to make a new password. First of all i have reinstalled windows many times and never was i asked that i can recall for a password to obtain my favorites. I would have saved this information had i known. I used my email and password for my email which is when it told me i had to make a new one since i had no idea what password was previously used. I have stopped using firefox for this reason. I just want to know if i can get back my favorites list. If not i will no longer use firefox

Just finished the Windows 10 1903 feature release upgrade. Firefox allows me to browse just fine, there is only a slight problem that is annoying as I like to keep browser cache/history clear.
When I right-click to launch FF, the list of Recent searches in the menu is forever long. I've tried the Remove Item From List, but the list never gets any shorter. I used the normal procedure for Clear History and Cookies/Data in Privacy & Settings. Clearing Everything from everywhere that I know of.
However, the Recent list never gets any shorter. I even tried deleting the cache2 folder with FF closed, but no luck.
I've attached an image of the list in hopes someone can offer any advice. Thanks a bunch in advance.
Cheers

I installed Firefox in US English, and selected US English as the Chosen Language preference in Options. I also updated my English (US) Language Pack. However, the three-bar menu, the Tool Bars, Customize, etc. all show in Japanese. Looking at Troubleshooting, I see under Internationalization & Localization that Application Settings Requested Locales ["en-US","ja"] Available Locales ["en-US"] App Locales ["en-US"] Regional Preferences ["en-US"] Default Locale "en-US" Operating System System Locales ["ja-JP"] Regional Preferences ["ja-JP"]
I have a Japanese computer and switch between languages for work; however, I prefer to use only English for Firefox as it's my stronger language and I feel more comfortable when I'm 100% sure I know what I'm saying "Accept" to. Is there any way to make the menus use my Chosen Language and not the Operating System Language?

In the past I could drag files from the downloads dropdown. Now, in order to drag downloaded files I have to open the downloads folder, which is an additional step and a nuisance. I suppose this changed with a recent FF update.
Is there any way to get the old functionality back?

How can I choose between various signatures, i.e. diff. languages
In Windows Live Mail I had several signatures, formal, informal, Danish, English and German. In Thunderbird it seems I can only have one. Is that really so?

Having long been puzzled by what Firefox considers to be my location, I have tried to find out how to set or change it. I followed all leads that seemed promising. the most direct lead was through the Menu (three bars in my PC-based Firefox). It does not contain the Settings option, nor any kind of 'More' option. I even used the about:config lead simply to find it is enabled. All I know is that Firefox holds a Location other than what I would want to to. But I simply cannot find a way to identify where its held; so I can change it.
Given how straight forward this need is I am puzzled on how hard it is to find out how to change it. Can someone help, other than by repeating the common instructions for using the Menu? I attach my list in case it helps.

When accessing a youtube video using Firefox on my Mac I get the following error:
"Video unavailable This video is restricted. Try signing in with a Google Apps account."
When accessing the same video using Firfox on my Android phone is plays fine. When accessing the same video using Chrome on my Mac is plays fine.
I checked the Firefox settings on my Mac and couldnot see any obvious problems. I tried changing some of the options but that made no difference.
Grateful for any help you can provide.

I just installed "Firefox Quantum" version 67.0.1, and none of my bookmarks were copied from my previous version. So I looked at help files on how to import my old bookmarks from my last version of Firefox, and they're all about either importing from Chrome, or Safari, etc, or else they're about sync'ing my mobile devices to my laptop. I don't need any of that information. Why didn't Firefox keep my old bookmarks, the way it always has whenever I have upgraded to a new version? What did it do to my old bookmarks?
I'm kind of upset, because I have a lot of recent bookmarks that I will have lost (since last backup). I sure hope Mozilla didn't just delete all that.
Oh, and I do have a Firefox account, and I've logged in, but still can't find anything that will tell me how to get my bookmarks back.
Thanks.

I am having an issue where no hyperlinks will open in firefox. Thunderbird will show the error below, but no other programs such as discord or open office will show any error or response when clicking on a hyperlink. I was looking through the default programs and settings and the advanced areas in those menus and found the pair of protocol below, which I changed and then changed back with no result.
I have just downloaded chrome and tried to open the links into it, with the same results as firefox.

Look, this is a huge problem because this message isn't just showing up on my Fire Fox browser, it's also on my TOR browser. I'm not seeking to fix TOR here, I'm just saying that it's on there too and TOR uses Fire Fox - this message appears nowhere else on my PC or browsers. My system was just purchased brand new in Feb. This message did not display when I dl either browser. I've NEVER downloaded ANY Avast or anything like it, I use Windows Defender and that's it. I'm not a techie - but I'm like really neurotic over hard drive space - I don't download ANYTHING unless I absolutely HAVE to with the exception of browsers. I only download those from their official websites though. I do play some games, I've only downloaded games from Steam, Origin, and Utomik. I do have all of their clients on my PC. Other than that, there's been NOTHING I've dl. I only included that info because I thought it might help. Can someone PLEASE help with this. I tried to look at the registry, I'm not seeing anything that seems amiss but I need more specifics - I've read the other questions and answers on this - but I don't know HOW to change anything to see if it helps. I already am scared to death to touch the registry.
Why, with Firefox 67.0 (64-bit), does Thunderbird 60.7.0 (32-bit) ignore the running Firefox instance and starts, instead, the default profile to handle links?

Hi, all.
On Windows 10 Pro (64-bit), I run Firefox (64-bit) and Thunderbird (32-bit), each with two profiles.
Until this afternoon, when Firefox updated to 67.0, clicking on a link in Thunderbird would open a new tab in the currently running instance of Firefox. If Firefox was not running, it would open "Profile 1."
Now, Thunderbird will only open links in my "Profile 1" Firefox. If I have "Profile 2" running, Thunderbird ignores it and starts a new instance of Firefox using "Profile 1." With both instances running, Thunderbird opens a new tab in the "Profile 1" instance.
I updated to Thunderbird 60.7.0 (32-bit), but it did not change the behaviour. So, this seems to be a Firefox change. Is there a way to go back to having the running Firefox instance handle the external launch of links?
This is the behaviour that I want: clicking on a link, anywhere, will open it in a new tab in the currently running Firefox profile, only opening the default profile if Firefox is not yet running.
Thanks in advance!
