This dirty trick required to move a single bookmark folder from one Firefox profile to another stopped working for me for some reason. I tried different firefox versions, including the one from portableapps.com, I tried starting the second instance with -no-remote switch. Nothing worked. When I tried drag&drop between the instances there was the blue feedback dash indicating the place where the folder was going to be dropped in the target Library window. But nothing happened. I tried holding Ctrl as well, also using Ctrl+C - Ctrl+V key combinations.
Is this a known issue? Has a recent version of Firefox removed this ability?

I hate that I have to ask this.... I have been trying to import my username/passwords from Chrome to Firefox for weeks. I'm using the Firefox built in Import tool. It just simply doesn't work. A couple of weeks ago it did actually import 1 site/username/password. Then today I was able to get 1 more. Both of these were sites that I used Chrome to sign into recently, like it cached them or something and thus were able to be imported into Firefox. But all the others that are saved in Chrome will not come over. I just don't get it. There is really nothing to it, so I know I'm doing it right. Options>>Privacy & Security>>Saved Logins>>Import>>>Select Chrome as browser to import from>>(Deselect cookies, browsing history, bookmarks) Saved Passwords selected>>Next>>Finished. Nothing.
Maybe I should uninstall Firefox and reinstall it and see I can do it from a fresh install. I don't know. Very frustrating.

hello. i am trying to open a new window by right clicking on the pinned taskbar item and using "Open new window".
"Firefox is already running, but is not responding. The old Firefox process must be closed to open a new window."
the problem is is that i want to open a new window while already having one open. the already opened window is responding just fine. and i don't want to close it or save the session or bookmark all tabs.
only thing i have been able to work around for this is... while in the already opened Firefox window, create a new tab, right-click and move that tab to a new window. i can also right-click a URL and open in new window.
i am on Windows 10 Home. and this issue only started happening after updating Firefox to 66.0.3 (64-bit).
on a side note... the same thing occurs when trying to use the following from the context menu on pinned taskbar item... "Open new tab" "New private window"
and also when directly clicking "Firefox" in the context menu of the pinned taskbar item.
any help is appreciated! thank you!

I purchase a Microsoft surface pro 4 and I used firefox . somehow the tablet overheated to the point of melting the glue tape and releasing the lcd panel from the box and cooking the lcd panel to the shape of a turtle shell. now I have a surface pro 6 and when I use firefox even with minimal tabs the tablet overheats severely. this is ridiculous why does firefox cause the cpu to overclock and overheat and WORSE OF ALL THIS IS NON STOP
there is no doubt that firefox is the cause. I am using edge and chrome and the tablet is colder than my fridge.
why this cpu abuse.
stopped working
Topic says it all... I've reinstalled. Scanned for viruses. I can hardly open anything. This is new. I've Been using firefox forever.

I'm having problems with my dropdown notification and profile menus at this particular site:
The problem only started after the patch for v.66. The problem is that when I navigate to the site, the dropdown menus - which you get by clicking on the numbered icon or profile icon in the top right of your page after you log in - work sometimes and other times you can't. I makes the site mostly unusuable since you can't see your notifications. It's kind of a crap-shoot. I thought messing around with and toggling on and off "Performance" standards might work, and it appears that it does change things for a minute or two, but then it ceases to matter.
Do I need to downgrade? Where is the downgrade page?

Hello.
I have a very disturbing usability problem with any newer version after 60.0.2. I have many open windows with some tabs in them and most of them i visit daily. All browser windows are in same order after every restart, so i dont have to search for right one. With any newer version after 60.0.2, windows order is not remembered anymore, with every restart they will be in totally different order. With every new install of newer versions 61-65, i tried to copy back my sessionstore file from 60.0.2 (few times / version), but this does not help - still doing same, all windows will be in diferent order after every restart of Firefox. So, for me it looks like there is someting broken in newer version. In version 61 there is new feature to autorestore session with windows restart, i even tried to disable it in "toolkit.winRegisterApplicationRestart" - no help. Thats why i still have to use version 60.0.2. Any ideas? Thanks.

Windows 8.1, 8gb ram, core i5 3ghz
The browser window stays open. Multiple crash messages for firefox.exe upon loading a youtube video. Tried reinstalling. Tried rolling back to 65.0.1, tried a fresh new install, and tried updating flash player. The same exact error happens no matter what I try to fix it. Nothing else was installed and no system changes occurred, according to the computer's user.
Loaded up Firefox 65.0.2 on a different, identically setup computer, and it instantly works right on the same exact page that was causing it to crash on the other.
Windows System malware?
Sure could use help on this problem, which has surfaced for no apparent reason, unless it is happening deliberately through some kind of outside manipulation by a 3rd party.

Firefox completely freezes up whenever I visit a page that uses geolocation services and I Allow Location Access. An example URL is:
Another example is FedEx.com.
I've tried troubleshooting this by running Firefox in Safe Mode but that does not help. The only way I can get those pages to work again without freezing up Firefox is to clear out or disallow location permissions.
I noticed that version 65.0.2 supposedly fixed a bug related to geolocation services affecting Windows users. Well, for me at least, this bug fix has introduced a bug that I didn't have before.
How can I get this looked into and fixed?

I got "Unexpected error" when trying to sign in to Firefox Sync.
I have no such issue with my office computer.
Please help.

Hello! (FF 65.0.1) I recently tried to access the preferences page but I get an error of "Unresponsive Script" on "resource://gre/modules/Localization.jsm:444"
Starting in Safe Mode solved the issue so I opened FF again and disabled all extensions but not luck. So I tried disabling Hebrew (using Hebrew on my FF) on the languages tab and it solved the issue.
What can I do to keep using Hebrew and to be able to access the preferences?
Thanks!

For several weeks, files downloaded during my browser session were automatically deleted when I exited Firefox. The problem may have been limited to html pages downloaded using "Save Page As...", but could have been regular downloaded files as well, but I didn't notice.
I believe that I was running 64.x (sorry I don't remember the dot release number).
I think I narrowed it down to the configuration option, "[ x ] Browsing & Download History" under Privacy & Security, Settings for Clearing History. I have always had this box checked, and downloads never disappeared before, just as the option description implies.
Then, a Firefox pop-up jumped in my face and told me to upgrade to 65.0, which I did.
Now my downloads don't seem to be deleted any more.
HOWEVER, I looked at the list of fixes for version 65.0, and saw NO MENTION of this problem, so I am asking you to confirm whether or not this was a known problem that was fixed in version 65.0, or if you think I am experiencing an intermittent problem that may return to haunt me when conditions are right.
Thanks in advance.

On my Lenovo laptop, the left shift key doesn't work within Firefox.
Both shift keys work in other browsers, other programs, etc. The right shift key works within Firefox. When I try to use the left shift key together with another key, nothing happens. For example, a capital H just won't appear and if I type "Hi" it appears as just "i". When I plug in an external keyboard, both the right and left shift keys DO work
What I've tried so far: - Uninstalled and reinstalled FF - Tried FF in safe mode - Uninstalled and reinstalled the keyboard from Device Manager in Windows - Restarted laptop
None of this works! Would appreciate suggestions.
