I have Firefox on several devices. I turned syncing of bookmarks off for now, but as I need some of them on my current device I'd like to know in what direction FF syncs bookmarks? If Device A has one set of bookmarks and Device B has the other one or none, will FF delete bookmarks on Device A, merge or add them to it?

After a mouse click in the xterm window, the cursor focus is taken away from xterm by firefox after 3 seconds. It comes back after a 10 second wait and then stays in xterm. This did not happen before the latest update (version 70.0) - which also changed the logo.
What is the point of hidden tabs, and why does it mess up extensions like "Simple tab groups"?

It seems like the feature is super bugged and fundamentally flawed. Not only is it halfbaked, but I have very little to no control over how it works. I end up with 40 hidden pages because of my style of browsing. Even using the Simple tab groups gets unnecessarily convoluted. Ive got like 60 hidden tabs in this browser window alone, but they arent displayed logically and you cant tell if they are assigned to another window in STG or what. So, whats the point of it? Why must I, as someone with amply memory and storage, must deal with its illogical behavior?

Fairly sure this is a virus of some sort, not sure where exactly it came from. Anyone else run into this?

A few months ago I started Firefox in safe mode ( I don't remember why because it was so long ago). After quitting Firefox and starting it up again I lost ALL my bookmarks and other settings (my profile). I researched how to find them again but it would not let me install the old profile. It simply refused to return to the older profile for some kind of security issue. Can anyone explain why this happened and how I can at least get my old bookmarks back?
P.S. The reason I didn't report this earlier is that there was NO WAY I could access this support area even through my account. I now seem to be able to do this so perhaps it was a technical issue with Mozilla that has now been resolved.

On my "top hits" icons page, three sites (Huffington Post, Alternet and the Washington Post) are marked on the bottom with exclamation points inside red triangles. What does this mean? I've continued to visit those sites & I'm developing some weird problems on, not Firefox, but Thunderbird program. I don't have an anti-virus program installed, on the recommendation over the years of several technicians. Perhaps that information is outdated? Thanks for your reply! Barbara
How to handle text on websites looking like little boxes wih an "A" in each?

After running Firefox for a time - 1 to 3 days - every character in the regular text on very website is replaced by a small box with an "A" in it. I am on Mac 10.9.5. Restarting Firefox doesn't help. The only thing that helps is my normal maintenance: Repair permissions in Disk Utility, restart in Safe Boot mode, wait for the hard disk to settle down, restart regularly. Firefox didn't always do this. Now it does it all the time.

I haven't changed anything in Firefox as I'm not too computer savvy but now Netflix no longer works nor does yahoo. For yahoo it says something about a date in the future. No idea what has happened. Have a Mac and haven't made any software updates, my computer is 5-6 years old and isn't even capable of being updated, or so it tells me every time I try and do updates.

I use userChrome.css to accomplish two things - 1.) Put the tabs below the urlbar and bookmark toolbar. 2.) Get rid of the annoying search help dropdown that appears when I type a url in the address bar. But, after updating to FF 66.0.5 (Mac) my userChrome.css file does not work anymore. In fact, FF 66 didn't even have a Chrome folder.
Is this a deliberate move by the devs to kill userChrome.css? Or, have they changed how it's implemented and not telling anyone?
In any case, if anyone knows how to restore userChrome.css usability to FF66, I would be very grateful to learn how. Alternately, if there's any other way to get the tabs on bottom and eliminate the urlbar drop-down, I'd love to hear about it.

After applying the 66.0.4 update, Firefox now won't connect to most websites. Sometimes, completely rebooting my system will fix it, but that's not a guarantee. I also updated all of my add-ons (Ublock Origin and Ghostery) Ghostery, though, seems to be completely broken even though it was updated.
Additionally, after applying the 66.0.4 update, I lost close to 10 gig of space on my hard drive, which I can only assume was somehow eaten up by Firefox, since that was the only change made to my system.

I don't know if its the latest update (65.0.1) that did this to me since I don't know when I last went to the page, but when I go to Add-Ons Manager now, all I see is a blank page (or rather rows of white tiles) rather than a list of my add-ons that I can click on to modify/remove etc.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
