My imac late 2015 running 10.12.6 Sierra crashed yesterday and on rebooting I noticed that my Firefox browser had disappeared. I was asked to reinstall with a new Extended support Release 115.34.1esr which I did but now I have lost all my bookmarks and access to my Outlook account. Is there a way that i can retrieve the lost settings?

Thank you for your being here as a volunteer to answer this type of question:

IS eset.com security software compatible with Firefox Mozilla ?

Thank you,

When in eBay checkout, I click on pay this seller only, checkout balance disappears. If I go into private browsing, it works as okay. When on Youtube, I get a ghost image of another page, which gives a lot of problems running Youtube. Again, if I go to private browsing, it works okay. Is this normal, or is their a fix?

I cannot sign onto (myhdfs.com) or make a new account. I am running on windows 10 and cannot update because this PC is junk. Is it Firefox or is it this computer? All other apps seem to work well. Thanks

I am unable to view my extensive bookmark list, which I have always accessed by clicking on the star button in the left margin of my screen. They suddenly disappeared yesterday.

I despise ai in every use and way with a passion. Now, it gets spammed everywhere on this browser, with no apparent way to disable and/or remove that filth. I don't want to see it, ever! Why is it even on by default??? I don't want "chatbots", "Ai assistants" or any of that shit at all.

Even with just 1 tab open, Firefox is killing my laptop battery.

Win 11 PC laptop.

In background, it is using 40% to 50% of the laptop battery. I need much better performance from it. I have already turned off any settings I can find regarding Firefox's background functions. When I quit Firefox I want it completely off.

How can I do that?

I often keep many tabs open for research, and Firefox memory usage grows significantly over time. Are there practical settings or habits that help manage memory without sacrificing usability?

I once signed up for a stock service, which included a daily popup. When I found I did not need/want it, I discontinued the service and deleted all of the related files. But the daily popup still remains and occurs. When I contacted the service they said it was something still attached to the browser but could not tell me how to find it or remove it. I have looked at everything I could think of but cannot find any reference to 'Weiss' (service name) or any name anywhere within Firefox. What am I missing? Many thanks Jim Bigger

I used Pocket for a while. It was excellent since it allowed taking a webpage and converting it to a document that could be copied and pasted to Microsoft word. This allowed further analysis and work on the contents of the page and was extremely useful.

Now that Pocket is gone is there another extension or a purchased extension that does the same thing on the present day Firefox.

I presently use Windows 7 and Windows 10.

Appreciate any suggestions.
