After, I have changed my primary email address, an error started to show up when I try to login my Firefox account on other devices. I have tried both of my emails to login, changed my primary address back to the initial one and setup a new primary email address. But none of them worked; whenever I try to login in another device it displays "Primary account email required for sign-in".
As the final option I could think of, I wanted to delete my account and start over again with the same primary email address. However, it does not allow me to delete my account either. It displays an error says "Incorrect email case".
Could you please let me know the solution if you also encountered this problem before?

Saw warning from Amazon via Consumer Reports that Honey Add-on is a security risk, or is Amazon being hateful towards a competitor?

I received a newsletter with this link: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/01/10/amazon-says-uninstall-honey-which-paypal-just-paid-4-million-for.html. I have used Honey add-on for a while now and don't think it would be a risk since Firefox makes it available, so this may just be Amazon being a bully. But I have to ask just in case, is Honey a risk to use?

Losing new bookmarks with Firefox Sync

Windows 10 Pro, Version 10.0.18363 Build 18363, Firefox Browser 72.0.2 (64-bit)
I've been using Firfox Sync for a little while, not exactly sure how long, but have recently had a problem. Sync was set to sync everything.
I've recently added new bookmark folders and new bookmarks on my Laptop, and then the next day when I've gone to use them they've disappeared. Repeated the process and exactly the same happens. Tried investigating the cause with success.
Earlier this week I added the new bookmark folder and a new bookmark. Went to use it less than an hour later and it had disappeared again. Checked what had been running on my Laptop, to see what might have been doing this, and the ONLY thing I could find that had run in the interveing period was Firefox Sync.
Modified my Firefox Sync settings so that NOTHING now gets syned, and then re-added the bookmark folder and the new bookmark. 3 days later it's still there, so obviously Firefox Sync was the cause.
What is Firefix Sync doing that it's reverting bookmarks back to a previous version? How do I know which copy it is making the master, Ive looked and been unable to find anything that tells me this?
Thanks Al
New windows open on the wrong monitor

When I have my computer plugged into an external monitor, I want new browser windows to open on the external monitor, but they always open on the computer's monitor. I have gone through the entire process at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems (clearing cache etc., trying safe mode, creating a new profile, refreshing Firefox, reinstalling Firefox) and the problem persists. This happens if I manually select "New Tab," "New Window," or "New Private Window" from the File menu with no existing windows open. It also happens if I use the key commands for any of these menu items. It happens if I use the menu bar on the computer's monitor or the menu bar on the external monitor. Opening a window and dragging it from the computer's monitor to the external monitor does not change anything. I've also tried using Divvy (https://mizage.com/divvy/) to move the browser window between windows with a key command, but after moving it this way nothing changes—new windows continue to open on the computer's monitor. How do I set which monitor Firefox will use for displaying new windows and/or get it to remember my preference?

Sick and tired of asking! Community Volunteers are mostly a dumb bunch! Now that I have attention, why-oh-why does Firefox usually (but not always) whenIi want to print 3 or more pages, whether I try to Print or I go into Print Preview, Firefox only gives me the first page (and sometimes that is empty, except for the header) and then it give me the next (or first) page, then I get the 3 of 3 pages - even if there is more! Have to go to Chrome or another browser to print the whole 4, 5, 6, (or however) many pages. I do not think it is a 'settings' issue on my desktop...or any of my laptops. What is wrong with Firefox? This page, for example, https://www.metopera.org/season/in-cinemas/2019-20-season/agrippina-live-in-hd?utm_source=HD%20Porgy%20and%20Bess&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=1-20LiveinHDPorgyandBess&utm_content=version_A is about 6 pages long (if I view in MS EDGE or Windows Explorer (which MS says should no longer be used!) - it's 6 pages, but if I go to Print in Firefox (using Win 8.1 on a recently overhauled desktop (or on a brand new Win10 HP laptop) I get the first page and page 2 of 2 is a header oly. Same in Print Preview. FIREFOX DON'T WORK!!!

It's an intermittent issue but very frequent and annoying, and I think it is related to the firefox's over sensitivity to touch pad gestures. I have experienced many times whenever I intend to do a two finger scroll, the browser interprets it as adjusting zoom(which is via two finger pinch). It can't be the issue of my touchpad device / driver issue because pinch zoom and two finger scroll has worked perfectly on other browsers and apps. I haven't encountered a single case where an app interpreted my two finger scroll as a zoom action since the moment i bought this laptop. I believe it has something to do with firefox.

Firefox used to have a button appear when it blocked a redirect, allowing exceptions to be added easily. This seems to have disappeared not too long ago. Worse, when I add URLs manually, it continues to block the sites. As far as I can tell, it allows no exceptions. I cleared the table and reentented one that I'm having trouble with at the moment. No luck. Many restarts and reboots. Any ideas?

Since upgrading our Kaspersky program, I can no longer download and print documents from a website used daily for work. Contacted the website's Support office; it is an issue betweenFirefox and Kaspersky. Have stopped Kaspersky from injecting script into web traffic, but this hasn't fixed the problem. Kaspersky has not been helpful. Is there a fix through Firefox?
Click-to-script option for extensions and or customizable restrictions for more privacy

I've read about click-to-script and extension restriction options of chrome 70 upwards in the mozilla add-ons blog (https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2018/10/26/firefox-chrome-and-the-future-of-trustworthy-extensions/).
Especially the click-to-script option is something I was searching for for a long time. Can somebody point me to a more recent discussion of such features for firefox or better yet the capability itself? Maybe an extension could be written that implements said behaviour for the other installed extensions, disabling them until one clicks their icon and disabling them again after changing the page?
I'd also be grateful for more search terms I could use myself; maybe there's a synonym for the click-to-script behaviour I didn't come across yet, but currently I'm having a tough time finding anything on the topic.

Hi
I had Firefox from my email, tomspencer@eml.cc.
I tried to create a second Firefox profile for gwendaspencer@eml.cc.
Instead they appear to have merged. I have also lost all my old bookmarks. I'm not even sure that I can log into the Firefox browser associated with tomspencer@eml.cc.
Thanks for considering this.
Tom Spencer
