Firefox Community Forum

I have multiple profiles, one of which I use the most and consider the main profile.

I just used another profile, then switched back to the main one, after which I selected a desktop shortcut, which opened my secondary profile, instead of opening up in the main one.

How can I avoid this?

EDIT: Along with my original inquiry, i just noticed a couple things in the interface changed. I discovered that I had been upgraded from v133 to v134 without a confirmation notification, and also contrary to my settings, or so I thought.

This is my normal setting (first Image), but then I checked my settings, which were changed without my knowledge.

I never allow automatic updates.

I just installed a Firefox browser on a new computer. I logged into the new browser and hit sync, but it didn't bring over new information. I manually synced both browsers, restarted both computers, and logged out and logged back into both instances. My laptop still has all the passwords, bookmarks, etc. But the new desktop doesn't have any of it. I cannot uninstall and reinstall because they're work devices and technically I'm not allowed to have Firefox and had to get my tech friends to help me get a copy.

I have OLD imacs. The one I'm on now says 2017 and according to some homework, the latest version of Firefox I can run on IOS 10.13.6 is version 115.

WHERE do I FIND that?

I went to mozillas page and there was only one place to update firefox. I went ahead and tried, then got a pop up saying to restart.... did. Then got some helper thing suppose to download, put in my computers password, and NOTHING seems to happen. Nothing at all. Downloads like this usually involve a spinning wheel, or bar showing progress, SOMETHING. I didn't get anything.

Restarted firefox, and every time I go to about firefox to see if it updated, the same pop up shows up. (Will attach a screenshot of it.)

If I look under applications/firefox, it has NOT updated at all.

I'm guessing it's updating to the latest greatest version which MY computer cannot run. SO where do I find VERSION 115?

Hi I want to make firefox my default browser on my Samsung tablet. Right now it is Google. I have downloaded Firefox without a problem but I can't find a way to name it my default browser.

Been pulling my hair out over this. Forced it seems to upgrade firefox so fine. I finally did.

Mind you I'm using an old imac running high sierra. IOS 10.13.6

I GOT firefox ok, but the prompt to import bookmarks showed me every OTHER browser on my computer except my old firefox where all my bookmarks ARE.

I found instructions such as.... (this is one of many,none helped.)

copy; Old firefox version 1) Right click top right menu icon 2) Bookmarks > Manage bookmarks 3) Import and Backup > "Export Bookmarks to HTML...

Right off the bat, Right click TOP RIGHT MENU ICON.

I DON'T SEEM TO HAVE ONE OF THOSE! What "menu icon" are they talking about???

There IS a hamburger, (the three bars) icon, and under that is bookmarks and manage bookmarks. and past that is a short list of SOME of MY assorted bookmarks, but NO WHERE TO BE FOUND is any export, back up, import or any such thing.

I found earlier (and can't find it now) instructions on location through my mac library folder (there was a path to that I forgot now) but once I got where that set of instructions led, it did NOT give me anything to save, export, copy paste or any such thing. Useless waste of time.

I have been rebuilding a few of the ones I kept up in the toolbar ONE AT A TIME.... painfully, especially things I have to log into means RE logging in all over. ROYAL PAIN this is.

This upgrading nonsense is so frustrating. I put it off until I absolutely have no choice. THIS is why.

I was in Firefox tonight and everything was fine. At some point I went to save a bookmark and noticed that all my bookmarks had disappeared. I also lost my bookmark toolbar and my customized Firefox homepage. I have no idea what happened, but I tried doing some troubleshooting.

I tried to restore bookmarks from January 6th and a message came up saying 'unable to process back up file'. So I tried using a back up copy of my bookmarks from late December 2024. Nothing happened, no import happened. I have 4,400+ bookmarks that I cannot access.

I also tried the option to 'recover user data missing after Firefox update using the about:profiles. But that also didn't give me back the missing bookmarks/bookmark toolbar, plus that option also removed my extensions.

Whatever happened, those items were destroyed, removed or deleted. I need help to get those bookmarks back, because all my financial, medical links, etc. are stored in bookmarks.

I am in desperate need of help to get those 4,400+ bookmarks back, plus my customized homepage.

Please provide any help you can to resolve this serious issue. Thanks!

Hi there, I had an issue just now with logging onto Audible.com.au. It brings up Amazon, so I logged in, but then it keeps bringing up the attached message and saying that Firefox requests my PIN number. I've never set one up and I've been using Mozilla and Firefox for about 15+ years now and never had this problem. The error message directs me where to go, however, when I log into the Mozilla account it says to go to Settings then Accounts then Sign-in Options.

The problem is, there is now 'accounts' under settings, let alone 'signin options'. I don't know what's going on or why, so really need some help.

Thanks. Carolyn

Help! I need to know what steps to take to recover all of my Firefox browser tabs from 09Jan2025. My mouse f-d up and erratically closed Firefox and when I opened it again all of my tabs were missing.

A webpage brings me the feedback "require JavaScript for important function. your browser addblocker prevents webpage access." All JavaScirpt settings are correct. I have no issues with other pages. Is there another solution?
