Hi Firefox,

As seen below in the screenshot I have been experiencing this error while browsing for the past few months now. I don't know why when i try to go google search something and then access the website i keep getting this message that the servers are not available and i do have a stable internet connection and its not a DNS issue. Could it be that google ad sense has restricted me as a user or it is something else... Please help because its been months now and i don't understand why this keeps coming up on every other website i try to access. I have to manually type in the search bar in order to access some websites and its really inconvenient when you are trying to get information on a certain topic or anything else.

Thank you

I tried to open my Firefox browser, but was unable to. Same thing with my Google chrome browser. I ran the troubleshooter for network problems, but unable to get a solution.

I downloaded a new Firefox browser in the hopes that it would let me access the other browser so I could retrieve all the settings, bookmarks, etc. However, everything disappeared when the new browser was installing.

Is there any way for me to retrieve that information or is it a total loss?

I have firefox as default browsers in both device (iPhone and Mac) and set up sync too. I happened to be a lot opening tabs in mobile firefox for unfinished reading which i wish to read later on. When i look for the way to save all inactive tabs from mobile, nearly all of advice (from Mozilla helps, from AI chat, from other tech pages) pointed to sync between devices. I did sync and close and clear tabs from mobile browser stupidly. To my horror, i can't restore those tabs from any devices anymore. I can access recently closed tab from history but not as the tabs i closed from mobile. The same scenario happened in Duckduckgo browser, Duckduckgo asked me the option to save those tab as bookmarks which i did and i can continue my reading easily. So, the question is, to streamline sync and save and restore tabs between devices, what setting in sync or what extension should i use?

my dad accidently removed the bookmark bar and usually it's not a big deal especially since rustdesk is available and online, i restored it with two mouseclicks but ... is there a way to remove this option?

I was setting up a new (desktop) device with sync, and was shocked to realize, that some items are missing from the passwords and settings. It seams like we are in a state of some months in the past. I have checked the about:sync-log and I see a lot of lines like this "WARN DATA LOSS: Both local and remote changes to record".

How is this possible? Can I do something to restore my latest data?

Thanks!

Hello. All tabs in the browser on the PC are missing. I sent the tab from the mobile version of the browser, via the share with device button. After a while, I sat down at my computer and turned on the private version of the browser. A minute later, the standard version of the browser opened with the tab I had previously sent. But all the other tabs that were in the PC version are gone. In the usual case, when tabs disappeared when opening the private version and closing the standard version, you could use the "restore tab" command to open the standard version window with the tabs closed. But in the situation with the sent tab, this does not work. In general, I would like a solution in which, when the private window is open and the standard window is closed, the tabs on the standard window are not reset.

Hi, I hope someone can help me. Please note I live in UK and I have a Desktop Computer but do not have a mobile phone. I use Firefox browser. This is what happened over 2 days Thurs and Friday. 28-11-24 THURSDAY @1.38pm On Thursday morning I used my computer with Firefox browser, and it worked perfectly OK. Then I had to go out shopping @11-15am. When I came back in doors @1.38PM I turned on my computer, it booted up as normal, then a Blue Screen appeared, with a message from Microsoft re back up in Cloud. I have not actually used Cloud before, although I did try to set it up earlier this year but not completed. So, I thought I would try again. This time I tried to register for the first time on cloud, I entered my email address and country, date of birth and then a password. Maybe something else, can't remember.

Then it asked for a code number that it said it had sent to my email, but I could not get that email then as I was stuck in between booting up and the Desktop screen. ( I DO NOT HAVE A MOBILE PHONE) As I did not have the code number, I clicked on, what may have said “not now” or similar message. Anyway, it would not continue so I had no option than to press the back button arrow, top left corner, several times. I think it took me back to the page with choices. I think I clicked remind me in a few days, which took me to the Desktop.

Normally my computer automatically opens Firefox Browser, but this time, I had to open Firefox, still no problem so far and the rest of Thursday OK. I did not try Microsoft Cloud again on Thursday.

29-11-24 Friday @ about 10.15am I thought that when I booted up, it may go back to where I left it Thursday, but no. When I turned on, there was no sign of the Blue Screen or Microsoft Cloud message re Back Up. When computer reached the Desktop, it did not load Firefox but an ERROR MESSAGE. It said. ERROR: PLATFORM VERSION "133.0" IS NOT COMPATABLE WITH MINVERSION >= 132.0.2 MAXVERSION <= 132.0.2 MAYBE TRY TO REINSTALL FIREFOX

It worked perfectly well before I tried to set up Microsoft Cloud yesterday (Thurs 28-11-24) now I cannot load or use Firefox at all, because it comes up with the same message every time. I have tried turning the computer off and back on, no luck.

My worry about Reinstalling Firefox is that I have hundreds of websites saved in bookmarks folders and I am not sure if I would lose them.

At this moment I have had to endure Microsoft Edge which I don't like. Don't put me through any more pain. Can you please help out a pensioner lost in the modern technological world. Thank you David

I've never had this problem before, even though I've been using Firefox for 4 years. As soon as I try to connect to an account via Google, or go to Docs/Drive/Classroom, I'm always taken to a “Clear cache and delete cookies” page. So I followed the instructions on the page, deleted all my data and saved cookies from Firefox and even tried to reinstall Firefox completely, but nothing changed, I'm always redirected to this page.

Someone can help me please? I can provide more informations if needed.

Hello,

Referring to your article [https://mzl.la/3TS8WcA] (Import settings and data into Thunderbird for Android) . The first step is : Export Thunderbird Desktop settings

   Click ≡ > Tools > Export for Mobile. 

However, I am running version 128.3.3esr (64 bits) "Nebula" and the menu "Export for Mobile" isn't available under "Tools" as mentioned in the article.

Please advise

Regards
