Firefox version 33.1.1 Windows 7 Ultimate
I keep getting this message: Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action. [Sync Now]
If I click that button, the error message goes away for all of 1 second and comes right back. Forever. All google searches have come up dead so far or ended in some joker with suggestions that go along the lines of "disable Sync". I'm sorry but please don't suggest that crap here. If your car broke down would you like it if your mechanic told you to just walk instead?

Firefox 31.1 leaves latest version of Dashlane greyed out. Updating is not the solution.

FF31.1 is not working with Dashlane 3.1.2 which is the latest version. The menu bar icon should have a green dot to indicate a working connection between the two. The result is that sign on data does not auto-populate on any website. My same version of Dashlane is working with Chrome. I prefer Firefox. But I can't function well on the internet without the fundamental security of Dashlane. The current advice to update Dashlane does not work, and will force me to switch to Chrome until this problem has a real solution. Thank You.

The issue occured two days ago. After updating to Firefox 33.1, most of my extensions have dissappeared. List of extensions: NoScript, Adblock plus, Adblock plus pop-up addon, Element hiding helper for Adblock plus, Multirow bookmarks toolbar, X-notifier, WOT, VKfox, вконтакте.ру downloader, Avast (switched off), Epubreader, Add to search bar.
My antivirus software: Avast 2015 free edition with all the updates.
Extensions which do not dissappear: Adblock plus, WOT, Epubreader, Avast online security (switched off).
What happens: yesterday I launched browser (Firefox 33.1) and found out that most of my extensions had dissappeared. I looked through Firefox system folders (Appdata/ and Program files/) - there were no signs of extensions, as if I had never installed them. I added them back. Surprisingly, all settings of extensions were okay. The next day this issue happened again. I thought it was some malware, so I ran antivirus checking. Avast found nothing. Next thing I thought of was: maybe Firefox does that itself? So, I installed all the extensions. Then I closed browser and immediately opened it again. Extensions were at their place. I thought that the issue was solved. Today, I switched my computer on, opened Firefox, guess what happened? Correct, no extensions (except for the four abovementioned ones). I re-installed Firefox, issue still exists. The only thing I found out - extensions dissappear with time. Today, my computer was switched on the whole day. I closed Firefox, left the computer for few hours. When I came back, there were no extensions, again.
What I am going to do now - check the system for malware again, with Dr.Web's CureIt utility. If it doesn't find anything, then, I will install the older version of Firefox and try it. Google Chrome works well, no problems with extensions (but I have only 2 installed for Chrome).
P.S. Almost forgot, bookmarks are okay, settings do not change, search engines are at their place too. But DuckDuckGo keeps appearing in list of search engines after uninstallation. So, I think that issue is in Firefox.

Every time I try to get my Yahoo or Google e-mail, I get the following message "You have asked Firefox to connect securely to us-mg5.mail.yahoo.com, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure. Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified."
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, and tried deleting cert8.db. file and nothing has worked.
How do I fix firefox so that it will work with two of the most popular e-mail addresses?

I am having a problem very similar to others stated. And like the others - the Mozilla 'work around' is not working.
I am currently running Firefox version 33.1.1 on Mac OX Mavericks version 10.9.5. My Dashlane is updated to current version 3.1.2 .
Dashlane works fine in both Chrome and Safari. It worked fine in Firefox, until the introduction of version 31.1 .
Thus, your 'work around', does not work. Dashlane has issued no less than 3 updates in the last couple off days. But no 'healing' for Firefox.
I use Firefox as my Primary browser and in close tandem with Chrome and Safari. If one does not work, it's not a happy day in the office. So .. please find a fix soon.
Thanks ... ": \
Disappearing extensions so reinstalled but now everything looks like jumbo lego

Hi,
I've been struggling for days with FF. My FF28--which had been perfect--suddenly started to lose add ons. Despite scanning with everything I could find, I could find no faults with the pc. No sooner would I put the extension back, than it was gone again. I lost three custom buttons altogether.
As the version was old, I bit the bullet and uninstalled, cleaned the reg, and downloaded the latest version.
I've tried it several times: spent all night reformatting it, but then my extensions were gone again today, and it was back to standard. I read that some people are having trouble with Avast, but I have not updated mine lately. Just to be on the safe side I've turned off the browser parts of the version I do have. But somehow I don't think it's fixed.
I've put as many addons as I can remember back, but FF33 just looks plain wrong. It looks like it is made up of much bigger and rather childish components than before. (I have a version of FF31 in the sandbox, and this still looks correct, but I don't know if I can just copy the profile from that?)
For a start, the window contents of the tabs are too big to fit in the window, and I have to zoom down to 80% to remove the scroll bars. Even then the text and symbols in the add ons window are still big and crude.
The customization panel has gone such a dark blue that you can barely see the icons on the toolbars, and it has a graph paper grid that wasn't there before. It is too big to fit in the window.
Despite having the toolbar and buttons set as small as Classic themes will allow they are still big and blurry compared with what I am used to. It look like a child's version.
I did have Hide caption titlebar plus, that allowed the window buttons to be moved into several positions vertically before, but they only have one position now (right on the top edge). I found previously that having these buttons in a middle position, kept the other buttons small, but I can't do that now.
This is all very frustrating, when I have a working copy in the sandbox but can't get it out. I'll attach snips of the good and bad toolbar areas so that you can see the crude layout that is the best that I can achieve, now. It's almost as if we are looking at FF though a magnifying glass!
Huh? There is no option to add a snip here. :/

In the last week Firefox has started crashing on a regular basis. I removed it and reinstalled the newest version, which, by the way caused it to crash more often. I have run malware scans and run virus scans daily. My reports of the crashes don't always go through, but I have never received any response to the ones that do. I am doing job searches and this is very frustrating as many times I am in the middle of a detailed job application and I lose it when the crash occurs.
