So in FF68.0 Mozilla devs have for some reason screwed such a basic thing as drag and drop from the browser into Windows file explorer. The best fix I was able to find to restore drag and drop proper functionality is to go into "about:config" page, find "browser.launcherProcess.enabled" setting and switch it to "false". The problem is, the setting in question just keeps resetting to "true" on its own after each and every browser update, so I had to manually change it back to "false" after FF69 update, FF70 update, FF71 update and FF72 update, basically 4 additional times already if not even more (I don't quite remember about XX.0.1 types of updates). It's frankly getting ridiculous and extremely annoying by that point. Is there a way to stop FF from screwing my "about:config" settings without my consent?
Why do I need to close/reopen Firefox in order for pinned Top Sites to get updated after syncing the browser?

I want to sync my Firefox pinned Top Sites so that I see the same Top Sites display on every new tab window across all my Win 10 PCs. The general sync seems to accomplish this, but only if I close and reopen Firefox after the sync. The sync should update the Top Sites display immediately. It should not be necessary to close and reopen Firefox. Am I missing something here?

Hello! My Firefox tabs crash constantly since I got a new computer. I have tried all the suggestions I can find in the forums. I did try downloading Firefox for enterprise but I could not figure out how to get it up and running, it seemingly installed, but Firefox seems to be the same. My new (to me) computer is a MacBook Pro 13" mid 2012 if that has anything to do with it. I have Parallels installed on my computer for the first time, if that might have anything to do with it. I have not had the problem with Firefox crashing within the Virtual Machine, though. Here is the latest submitted crash report: bp-f70bd533-3d22-4cd6-9f39-498920200121 Thank you for any insights and help!

I use a web page that stores session cookies to handle authorization. Once I found it does not ask authorization after a weeks since last one. Cookies view shows one with authorization token with Expires: Session setting. Is it a bug?
Also browser does not clear opened tabs if was not closed manually, but with the system shutdown. Otherwise tabs are cleared OK. Session cookies are not cleared both ways.
Such behaviour appeared near a December 2019, after some Firefox update. How can I fix cookies problem, and if related tabs problem too?

Firefox is set to restore previous session on startup. I quit Firefox, turned off my computer, turned it back on again, and opened Firefox. It did not restore the previous session, and it had logged me out. I logged back in again, but it still did not restore.
All the help articles, like this one (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-restore-my-tabs-last-time) say to go to the menu and select "Restore Previous Session". However this is not available for me - see attached screenshot.

I have followed your instructions on getting Windows Firewall to allow Firefox and Thunderbird access to the internet, but after going to Control Panel, etc, to Add a program, I select Firefox and Thunderbird, click OK, then click on Firefox or Thunderbird and I get the Win Firewall message asking to allow or not allow, I click "Allow" then the message keeps appearing asking the same. I go to Control panel, etc, Add Program AGAIN, and both programs are not in the list. No matter how many times I select and allow the programs in the Add Program window, as soon as I click OK, they disappear from the list.

FF 72.0.1 for Windows. See if I can explain this problem. I migrated Chrome bookmarks to a new profile on my desktop. I cleaned up the migration bookmarks and saved to an html file for a backup. I also created a new profile on my laptop that I did attempt to sync with the desktop which was when I first noticed issues with the synced bookmarks/folders.
RIght now I have sync turned off on both machines and am concentrating only on the desktop. I deleted all the bookmarkbackups directory files and deleted places.sqlite and imported the saved html file to get the desktop where I want it. However, when I turn sync on (with sync turned off on the laptop) it adds folders and bookmarks, some of which were NOT there in the Chrome migration and some duplicates that I had created on the laptop. Deleting the WEAVE directory makes no difference. I don't know where this information is coming from, whether cache or ff backups, but I want to have a clean set of bookmarks, that I can sync to a clean laptop.
Can someone please tell me where this previously synced (some not) information is coming from so I can delete and start from scratch.
lost my bookmarks?
I formating my pc and instal firefox again but i lost all my data (bookmarks, passwords ...) how can i recover my data again?

I'm trying to automate a part of my daily work on a website I'm using (not developping). I have to crawl several lists on the website, dig an item in the list, to check some values, and do it again and again ...
Im used to developping in Powershell and python, not with a web browser. I have admin rights on the machine I'm working on. I'd like to use this to catch the json answers of the website (all of them), parse the answers for some values, and automate some kind of popup "Hey, This item in the list is between 90 and 100 !"
No code to show yet, that's what i'm looking for : basic solution for json interception while i'm crawling. I have good knowledge of json parsing using python/powershell, the hard part for me is catching the answers ...
A real time export of all json answers of the network console will be a perfect basis for this ... How can this be done with firefox extension ? I just need a base to start.
Thank you very much for any help you can give. And apologies for my average english ...

So for about the last month or so, firefox has been giving me really slow upload/download speeds. I have 500/500mbps fios, but for some reason, my downloads all download at about 700kbps and my uploads max out at about 7mbps. However, if i use chrome then the problem disappears (sort of, i still only get 200mbps max upload/download speeds). Ive already tried clearing my cookies/cache. and restarting Firefox. The issue is not with a certain website, but with all download/uploads across the board. The weird part is that i can upload several files and each will upload at 7mbps per file but they will never go above 7mbps. ive tried disabling my add-ons and nothing changes. If i check my internet speed on firefox, i do get 500/500 speeds, so i dont know what it could be. its not a big deal to have to switch to chrome whenever i want to upload/download something, but its something id rather not have to do. ive been using firefox for as long as i can remember and ive never had an issue like this.
Im using task managers performance tab to see the upload speed and using firefox's download icon to see the download speed.

After dragging my feet for literal years, I've finally updated Firefox past version 57. I'm gradually working out the kinks and getting things looking the way I want, but one thing I can't get to work how I'd like is the address bar.
Setting the density to "compact" fixed a good majority of size issues for buttons and my bookmarks toolbar, but it shrunk the text in the address and search bars to be much smaller than the rest of the text on bookmarks, tabs, etc.
How do I manually adjust this? Before anyone asks, yes I have a userChrome file, I just need to know what to insert to get this working how I want.
