I've just downloaded the latest version of FireFox and it's deleted all my bookmarks, and I can't save any new ones!
I can't think of anything more to add..

I have tried over a dozen times to change my (according to you) PRIMARY EMAIL ADDRESS. My primary (according to mozilla) is [REDACTED BY MODERATOR]. I would like to tell whoever answers this, THEY ARE WRONG. The previous email is just an "ADD-ON". To my mind, MY PRIMARY EMAIL ADDRESS IS:- [REDACTED BY MODERATOR]. I do not know where you got the gmail address from, it is very rare I use it, except in answering your non-existant, technicians. WHY? Do you only use volunteers to get people like me sorted out???? What is wrong with employing people that have been trained to sort out this type of problem. When ever I click on "CONTACT US", all there is, is a list similar to that which led to that page? There are NO LINKS that take me where I want to go, not where YOU want me to go. I am 71 next month, and I NEED SPECIFIC instructions as to what I have to do. I have had a computer eversince the AMIGA 500. So I do need help to sort out what I want, NOT, as you keep saying, I must have what YOU want. If you cannot sort this out, I will be going elsewhere. I have used firefox for bloody decades. This could be ending anytime soon. I am totally fed-up with your website, beloaw are three pictures to explain what I need.

Is Firefox Private Network as good as a VPN?
I need to use a public network soon. I was going to use a VPN service. I just enabled Firefox Private Network. Will it protect me in the same way?
Firefox displays some wrong letters on my MacBook Pro, even though I let the website pick its own fonts.

Numeral 'nine' displays as 'hyphen', 'semicolon' doesn't display at all, 'x' displays as 'quotation mark'. Using Firefox Quantum 69.0, MacBook Pro (2015) with MacOS 10.14.6. Have run lots of tests with other web sites and browsers, esp. Safari, no such probs with those.
I followed all the instructions in the article "Recovering important data from an old profile," but when I open FF, there are no bookmarks and no history.

At least, I think I followed all the instructions. After I created the new profile, I went to the section that reads:
Important: Firefox must be closed down while copying files between profile folders. Also, Step 1 refers to your "old" profile folder - the profile containing data you want to copy to a new profile. If you can't open a profile from within Firefox, see Finding your profile without opening Firefox.
I found this instruction a little irritating—if in step one "profile" means "old profile folder," then why not say so? But the big problem is that, with the warning that Firefox must be closed down, I closed FF.
Then I came across this:
Open your profile folder: From the Help menu, choose Troubleshooting Information. The Troubleshooting Information tab will open. Under the Application Basics section, click on Show in Finder . A window will open that contains your profile folder.
Well, these instructions forced me to open Ff again—but to my dismay, when I went to the Application Basics section, and looked at Show in Finder, it wasn't my old profile that showed, but my new one. Since I only found my old profile picture in the first place by following the same instructions to go to Application Basics when I was told to make a copy of the old profile, which was at that time my current profile, I only got to that profile because it opened automatically—I didn't remember the path, so I don't know how to find it. But since I did make a copy of it to my external hard drive, I opened my Old Profile from there.
Then this: Click the Firefox menu at the top of the screen, then click Quit Firefox.
So I quit FF.
Then this: Hold down the control key while you click on a file you want to copy and choose Copy. Open the new Firefox profile folder.
I found this confusing; why in the world would I be told to click on a file to copy before I was told to open the new profile? And where WAS the new profile?
So I opened FF again, went to Application Basics, and then opened the new profile, then closed FF again.
So I was once more at this step:
Hold down the control key while you click on a file you want to copy and choose Copy.
But it occurred to me that, rather than repeat this step for each individual item, why not just drag the first sub-folder from the Old Profile to the New One? I tried that, but got a message saying that the folder was invisible, so I selected everything in that folder and just dragged it into the new profile.
I clicked on everything in the second sub-folder in the Old Profile, but when I dropped the selection in the New Profile, I got a message saying that there were copies, so I stopped. Since I didn't know why there were two sub-folders in the Old Profile, I thought that, in order to make sure that everything from the Old Profile Folder was in the NPF, I created two sub-folders in the NPF, one entitled "0 untitled" and the other "O untitled 2." Then I selected and dragged everything that I had transferred from the first sub-folder of the OPF into the NPF *before* I had created sub-folders for the NPF, and I dragged them into "0 untitled." Then I revisited the second sub-folder of the OPF, selected its contents, then dragged and dropped them into the NPF sub-folder "0 untitled 2."
When I got to the section "Your important data and their files," I was a little confused, because at first I thought I had to transfer these manually because they were not in the OPF, so I searched for them, but when I selected the "places.sqlite" and tried to drag and drop it, I got a message asking whether I wished to delete the file from the Cloud—since I didn't, I didn't. Finally it occurred to me that perhaps they were in the OPF, so I looked, and they were.
The article ends without any instructions as to what to do once you have finished transferring files from the OPF to the NPF, so I simply clicked on FF, which opened without the data. I closed FF, then shut down and restarted my computer, but when I opened FF, still no data.
I thought perhaps that I had been wrong to drag and drop, so I opened the copy of my OPF on my external hard drive, then opened FF again t the Application Basics so that I could open the NPF in the finder. When the NPF opened, I was surprised to see that the two sub-folders no longer had the titles I gave them, but had rather the strange string of numbers and letters reminiscent of the names of the invisible folders in the OPF.
Should I create another new profile folder and then go through the laborious process of selecting one file, clicking copy, then going into the NPF, without the sub-folders, and then click "Paste"? If I do that for one sub-folder from the OPF, should I create a first sub-folder for the NPF, and then put all the laboriously transferred files from the first sub-folder of the OPF into the new first sub-folder of the NPF, and then repeat that process when I transfer the files laboriously one by one from the second sub-folder of the OPF into the NPF?
I am at a loss, and would appreciate help.

Hello. Excuse me for my poor English, I was translating with the program. Recently assembled a new computer, quite expensive and powerful. And there was a problem with Mozilla Firefox. No other browser has such a problem. Namely: pressing the "scroll" button on the mouse does not work, i.e. I cannot hold down the "scroll" button and move the content of the page up and down and right and left. How can you turn on this button, as it was before on another PC. This is the first problem. The second problem is that when you create a new tab or open a page in a new tab, two of these tabs are created (attached image). Two identical copies. It's as if the mouse is double-clicking. But that's not true. I checked in other browsers. The mouse is new and working. I also checked with all the disabled add-ons. Help me solve these problems. Thank you.

It is really very hard to work with FIREFOX with these problems, which are increasing every second. Now almost at every website We are likely to face these problem and more commonly in in-house web services when we open into Firefox. browser.

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to www.google.com because this website requires a secure connection.
What can you do about it?
www.google.com has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.
The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it.
If you are on a corporate network or using anti-virus software, you can reach out to the support teams for assistance. You can also notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

Hi! I am looking to disable the option to start Firefox in safe mode, as it bypasses the extensions I have installed that I want to be customizing my Firefox experience constantly without my will to end them (as I have an Internet addiction problem). I have seen previous threads that describe how to disable safe mode (such as the one below), but I do not have the capacity to understand the computer jargon. Please help me remove the possibility of starting Firefox in safe mode--thank you!

I wrote an application that dynamically creates report and (using the printElement jQuery plugin) prints them to either a printer or to PDF.
$('.print-container').printElement({
pageTitle: $('div.edit-title').text(),
overrideElementCSS:[ 'print_css', { href:'css/print.css', media:'print' } ]
});
This has worked well for 5 years but, over the last weekend, even with the config set to print.print_bgcolor = true, no background colours or images are being printed any more. This happens with printing to a printer or to a PDF file.
