Whenever I open youtube on Firefox it randomly keeps reloading a specific channel, instead of staying on homepage. I DO NOT have youtube hugh definition add-on installed. What could possibly be the source of this? Most solutions I could find blames that one add on that I am not even using.
Firefox
Every time I open firefox it asks me to sign in to my profile. When I do, I have lost all of my bookmarks etc.

I then go into about:profiles and have to delete multiple profiles that have appeared and set my original one to default, which works fine and i have all my bookmarks back. However as soon as I switch my macbook off and on again, I am back to square one and have to delete old profiles and set my old one to default. This is incredibly frustrating.

Version 68.0.2
I suspect it has to do with my work environment. There is corporate management software, and I have to "run elevated" to do new installs or updates. Firefox is the only app that has had an issue with whatever they are doing. Chrome installs fine.
The IT team won't help since they say "we support Internet explorer"
In addition, I cannot update the version I have on my windows 7 and 10 machines that was installed before they added their monitoring software,
Again, this is a problem with compatibility with our corporate overlords environment that is messing up firefox. I'm hoping there are settings or logging options that will get to the cause.
I'm typing this on an old firefox (63.0.1) on a windows 7 machine.
Please don't tell me to reinstall, update video drivers, etc. Been through all that. We are talking a new installation on a new windows 10.
Thanks

Installing newest Firefox 69... killed my profile (cookie settings etc.) There are also not signed Addons which I still want to use. Luckily I had a sytem backup to restor to the oldest 69 version. But I cannot use this profile for the ESR version. Cookies getting lost. Btw. it would be a good idea, if profile settings (cookies, addon settings, look and feel could be synced for Firefox on different computers.

I have had problems all week with firefox, it will work, then next time, say 10 minutes later I get dialogue box telling me I have opened older version and need to create a new profile, In the last 4 days I have done this 48 times, getting pissed off, got company IT to look into but no joy there, but by chance have just spotted a file, in moz maint service/logd, where it appears there was a mait service install just before I could not open, who has set this system up to update itself, but not update the shortcut file, so twice today twice yesterday and 8 times on tuesday to stop me using the service.

Hello,
I have FF 66.0.3 installed. I was trying to install the latest update (66.0.5). After it was downloaded I got this dialog where FF is asking me to input my admin password in order to install the update.
Three things. One, I have never came across a FF update that asked for my admin password. Two, I am the admin on this machine and no password ever required to update a browser. Three, I just ran Trend Micro Security and it doesn't report any issues.
I asked one of my coworkers (same machine as mine) if he could install it on his machine. He didn't have any problems and didn't get the dialog box asking for admin password. (See attached screenshot.)
Is there something special about the 66.0.5 update that would need my admin credentials to update this thing?
Thanks.

Having recently been a victim of ransomware I have configured a computer that has no personal information on it at all. It will be used exclusively for browsing the web and my other computers that have data worth stealing will not be used for browsing. I wanted to load Firefox because it reputed to be the least needy with respect to personal information. I don't need to get any emails from mozilla.org and don't intend to send you any. Can I just load the browser without providing an email address (microsoft edge did not require one)? So far the installer seems unhappy if I don't provide the requested email address.

I am using Firefox as portable app, with --no-remote --profile "%profile_path%". I update it regularly, it's convenient for me to see notifications of new updates and install them whenever I see fit. I recently noticed that Firefox creates a folder on every computer C:\ProgramData\Mozilla\updates, which is not good for the portable version, really. The only way to stop this I found was to completely disable updates via distribution\policies. I don't want to. How do I get firefox to notify me of updates and download them to a USB flash drive (it will be perfect if i could specify folder for this purpose) instead of leaving files on other people's computers?

I recently switched to FF 67 and obviously using the same profile throughout multiple OS (Manjaro, Ubuntu and Windows 10 in my case) does not work anymore. The same applies to TB 68, I guess it's the same mechanism behind. I cannot comprehend what the devs thought here and I'm quite furious right now since this breaks up my whole setup. The official support page refers to Firefox Sync in this case, which I'm actually using, but that covers only a small portion of the now missing stuff. I cannot sync the current session, add-on settings, cookies, site preferences (like allowing cookies for certain sites), many settings (default search engine, telemetry etc.) and much more and for Thunderbird it doesn't work at all.
I found here - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1260190?mobile=0 - that it's apparently possible to restore the old behaviour by deleting compatibility.ini but I'm not sure if this breaks things in Firefox or Thunderbird, I obviously don't want to lose my bookmarks, open tabs or other stuff. How risky is this and are there alternatives? Many thanks for helping me.

After upgrading FF 68.0.2 to FF 69.0, my bookmarks and preferences were missing. I was very upset because I had many bookmarks which would be very hard to recreate. After taking several deep breaths and intensive research on the internet, I discovered FF 68.0.2 was still installed, so I ran firefox from that sub-directory and all my bookmarks reappeared. So I exported those bookmarks than I successfully imported it into FF 69.0. My question is why did that happen? Do I have to export my bookmarks every time I upgrade? Thank you for any insights you can provide.

I have installed firefox but I am unable to connect. I can connect with Chrome and MS browser. The suggestions listed in the "Unable to Connect" article did not work for me. By the way, I am using Win10 and Eset NOD32 antivirus. Pausing NOD32 did not help; therefore, I do not think it is blocking the connection. How can I fix this? I would like to switch to Mozilla but trying to get Firefox working has been a frustrating experience.
