I've been using Firefox for years but this morning it stopped working. the little firefox button just kept moving left-right and never found the page. Eventually I gave up and uninstalled firefox but when I tried to reinstall it, it states that firefox was previously installed and allows me to reinstall. when I do that it always gives an error message that it was unsuccessful.

I found the directory with all the older versions of FF. but how do I download an executable file? I did a recent new install of FF on a new HD and now my passwords are gone - despite restoring the backup files. the new FF I downloaded uses lockwise; while my older version did not. I am hoping if I download and reinstall a slightly older version of FF - where I can restore my passwords and history and bookmarks and it actually Works - then if I update FF - all my 'stuff' will carry with the newer version.
Unless you have another idea of how to get my old FF back! yes I made a backup of my old profile.
thanks

Hi, On Firefox 71, when addons are enabled/disabled, I experience blurry instead of crisp graphics on Google Maps. Initially when the page loads at say 67% zoom, 10 seconds later, it gets blurry and then I get the warning from google maps to load the maps page at 100% zoom for best view. This wasn't an issue on previous firefoxes, and I haven't changed hardware, maybe it's a config setting? How do I fix this?

I had to reinstall win 7 on a new HD. Before I removed the old HD I copied my entire firefox profile. I then re-named it to my 'new' firefox profile - in hopes that everything would transfer. My bookmarks are there, but my passwords are not. Although the files key4.db and logins.json are both present in the new profile - they do not contain my old passwords. file size is also the same - very odd. I have access to all data on my old HD - how do I recover/transfer all my old passwords - there are >150 of them - I'm not going to type them all in
thanks so much

http://validator.w3.org/ renders as a blank page. Same for https://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/.
Switching to basic page style, I can get to the unstyled content of the page, but why aren't the styles loading?
I allow JavaScript for these pages & disable Adblock Plus, and can't think of any other add-ons that might interfere.

If I try to drag and drop a new bookmark onto the bookmark icon (the star with the line under it), it USED to open up Bookmarks and I could place the new bookmark where ever. That no longer works.
I CAN drag/drop into a folder on the menu bar but not into bookmarks directly.

I enjoy playing games on 247games.com. Specifically the backgammon.
For the past year, I have had to NOT update Firefox, as the games won't work with the latest. I've just decided to update again, now have version 72.0.2 and still the backgammon won't work.
Last year when I did this, one of the volunteers worked with me for 3 days trying all sorts of things, with no success, so he finally advised me to undo the update. Now I wish I had left it alone, but an hour ago I updated. Now I have to figure out how to undo the update. Again. So disappointed.
I am on an HP envy laptop, with touch screen. Neither the touch screen nor the cursor will work for backgammon. I was hoping you folks had fixed this problem by now.

[SOLVED]Linux Mint 19.1 system is US English, as is Firefox, but spell check prefers colour over color

Note: The Automatically Add button led me to a missing page and I have to rewrite this text and re-add "[SOLVED]." I did get signed in.
I installed Linux Mint 19.1, 64-bit, MATE Desktop, which included Firefox, Thunderbird and LibreOffice apps. I do much writing on forums, in email and word processor documents. My system language was set for US English, but the spell checker corrects words that end in "-or" here and that elsewhere end in "-our" if I spell them ending in "-or."
My last check of the issue revealed that only in Firefox did the spell checker prefer British spellings, for TBird and LibreOffice checkers preferred US English.
(Let's see now, I have found three ways to misspell "English" within five minutes: "Englishy," "Engluish," and "eNGLISH!" Agggh!!) :(
I finally got "a round to-it" for the oval and square to-its don't fit, and started this post. Lo and behold, I have no issue under Firefox 70.1 with incorrect locale! The spell checker does accept US spellings and calls me out on the others. I didn't mind the other spellings, because the Internet is a world-wide network, and even adopted some of them like "recognise." Now they get flagged.
This issue is [SOLVED] withoiut me doing anything but update my computer and Firefox to 70.1. Thank you. //Edited to correct some missed spelling errors//

Firefox asked me to update every time I opened it. Downloading and installing firefox, always said udating didn't work, download firefox upate now. Tried dozens of times. Then said needed to go to new firefox, did that, had to create account, did that, now have lost all the bookmarks. Tried selfhelp to restore bookmarks, incomplete instructions or not working. I would really, really like all my bookmarks back. Thanks for your help, Jane.
How can I stop Firefox deleting my cookies on closing it down.
With reference to the enclosed attachment, the 'delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed' check mark is 'greyed' out and I cannot change it.

Hello. In my bookmarks library I have a lot of folders organized in a tree with multiple branches themselves organized in hierarchic levels. Sometimes I don't find the bookmark I want to use by browsing my tree, probably because I didn't put it in the right location in the tree. I can find it by the "Search bookmarks" function but this function doesn't provide the bookmark location in the tree (and I don't see any other way to locate it). Thus I can't correct the bookmark location error in the tree.
Is there a way to locate a bookmark in library folders tree ?

I have upgraded to 70.0 and now there is a 6 second delay on loading first site. I have firefox starting in private mode and without a home page. this loads at its usual speed. However, when I click on a bookmark the system hangs for 6 seconds before the site is presented. Subsequent sites load rapidly as usual. I have tested with other browsers and sites and the problem is specific to Firefox and not specific to the site being load. Once loaded, if I open an additional Firefox window this loads sites rapidly. I have been using Firefox for many years and the problem has only occurred since I upgraded to 70.0.
Can anyone help please.

1) Where do I find the "Firefox smart search field" that starts proposing pages when I have keyed in just the couple of first letters of the page I am looking for ?
2) I just wish to "lock" my Firefox page size to 120% (not permanently forever, of course) because at present I have to change it in the beginning of every web-session by opening the Firefox menu at right upper hand corner and choosing 120% in the "page size" option.
How to print out my passwords in Firefox? I need to migrate user names and passwords for various web sites to a new computer

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1253828 does not seem to work because the caret (») is not visible in Firefox 72.0.2 (64-bit) that is on my machine. This is most annoying. Firefox and T'Bird are the most difficult software to migrate to new computers.
I need the export as a CVS. The other approaches either don't allow copy and paste or they are JSON and I have no clue how rto use that.
The other angle: logins.json (passwords) and key4.db (58+) for Passwords saved in the Password Manager I don't see a way to get that into a spreadsheet.
It is particularly annoying because there is an import function but no export function. I have over 300 web site user names and passwords. Hours and hours of work to just copy one at a time.
