Firefox Support Forum

Hello. My computer died (it's "fixed" now) and I have had to re-install Firefox. I saved all of my configuration files before I sent the laptop to be fixed. I have re-installed Firefox and I am now trying to re-install my bookmarks and cookies. In the past I have simply copied the saved places.sqlite and cookies.sqlite files into my profile, but I have done that and I still don't see my bookmarks when I open Firefox.

What else do I need to do?

Thanks much! Ted S.

p.s. How do I know if I should be using the "default" or the "default-release" folder?

I am a biomedical research and need to log into the login.gov site to manage my grants. However, access to this site is blocked in Firefox but works fine on Chrome. I'd rather stay with Firefox but will switch to Chrome if this can't be fixed. Thanks, Claire

The dozens of bookmarks I had that I did not put in folders has grown in numbers exponentially. I don't know how. I had nothing to do with it. I went from having about 200 bookmarks (outside of what I had in separate folders) to what seems to be roughly 5000. This is ridiculous. How can I 1, correct this, and 2, stop if from happening again.

Lately I'm getting a pop-up on my laptop and iphone offering to log in via my Google account. I don't have a Google account, and all the help articles I find just tell people how to disable that. I have cookies set to Strict, I've cleared the cache, made sure things are updated, and I still get this annoying pop-up. I've got various add-ons installed. AdGuard, ClearURLS, Cookie Autodelete, Decentraleyes, UBlock Origin, Disable HTML5, Facebook Container, Flash Control, and HTTPS Everywhere. I'm open to suggestions on where to go from here. Frustrating for this to just start suddenly, and having to find a way to disable it.

so the tab "scrolling" speed is so ridiculous that i dont even know what is it even used for? when i have lots of tabs opened and i press those arrows to scroll on the tabs row, it immediately scrolls into some random position, into the tabs that i didnt even see behind the scrolling arrows.

so is there a way to change that speed or some hyperscroll time delay or smth, so that i could actually scroll between the tabs and not get whacked into some random position among them?

When I logged into my Firefox account on a computer given to me by my employer, I acquired all the login info from all the other Firefox profiles on the computer, including bank details and a porn account. What's up with that?

I deleted all those old profiles and purged the extraneous passwords from my password list but did my passwords go online and mix with all those other people's passwords? And could someone repairing my computer open up their Firefox account and capture all of my passwords in the same manner?

Curious to know...

I have installed Firefox on a computer and I need to sync the data, but the process requires a conformation code that is sent to my primary email. My primary email in Firefox no longer works. How can I do this? Thank you.

I found a charge of $28.50 on my credit card from Saint Gervais Sur Mar with something to do with DownloadHelper. I do not remember that charge and believed it was free. How can I cancel any subscription and get money back?

Hi, I just want to get rid of this picture in picture feature. If I click to see a video & scroll down I dont want to get the video at the bottom right. I just want the video to stop so I can click on another video if I want. I dont like this feature. I tried different things however nothing work. Do you have a solution?

What I already did: In the Firefox about:config I changed many settings to false however I still have the issue. See image of my settings in the attachment. The site I tested: https://www.meteomedia.com/ca

Firefox v107.0.1 running on Windows10

Thank you

For the past 2 days, Firefox is ridiculously slow in opening; 45 minutes yesterday, 25 minutes today. What is going on? How do I fix this? If it continues for another day or two, I'm switching to Chrome, because I can't put-off the start of my workday for much longer; it's unacceptable.

My internet provider is Xfinity. Attempts to log into Xfinity brings up Access Denied. You don't have access on this server. Reference # 18.9df4d517.1670977649.113aaffc.

Previously access was denied 2 log in 2 xfinity on Firefox browser. Reply 2 post gave me a different log in . It worked. After I got email from u "Your Firefox account was used to sign in Chrome on Windows 10 Boardman, OR, United States (estimated) IP address: 52.32.111.255 Wednesday, Dec 14, 2022 2:52:14 PM (PST)". This isn't me, but I logged in at the same time. Did Firefox mistake my log in? When I attempted 2 change my password, it wanted 2change the password 4the spammer. I couldn't change MY password. I didn't use Chrome, I don't have Windows 10. I have Windows 11 and I am not near Boardman OR.

Am I wrong when I came to the conclusion that update 108 brought visual changes? On one PC I have version 107.0.1, and on the other I updated to 108 and the appearance changed, after which I decided to remove this version and immediately install 108. I did not change the default theme. The rest of the colors suit me. I'm using a userChrome.css file and have enabled its use (toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets - true).

I am wary of installing any theme because it will surely look bad somewhere else. So I want to do without it.

This is what 107 looks like: https://user-media-prod-cdn.itsre-sumo.mozilla.net/uploads/images/2022-12-14-15-16-03-c4ca42.png

And here it looks like 108: https://user-media-prod-cdn.itsre-sumo.mozilla.net/uploads/images/2022-12-14-15-16-22-c81e72.png

Thank you!

What prevents these sites from seeing my Username and Password. I do not save them but retype info every time I access them. Have changed my cookie setting to only block 3rd party but that did not help.
