My old Linux computer died and I have removed the still good SSD from it. I have installed the latest Firefox on my new computer and would like to restore the bookmarks and other saved data to the new computer.

I am running Ubuntu 20.04, the old computer was on Ubuntu 18.04.

Can these things be restored, and if so what do I need to do?

Bookmarks are saving but never show up in my bookmarks bar folders?

  • I have tried to uninstall and reinstall but still same problem. And yes I did a hard delete of all installation files in users - app data..
  • I have checked the read only is not selected in the "places.sqlite", and even deleted it to force a new one, still didn't help.
  • I have also deleted the "xulstore.json" file and that also did not help.
  • I have reset in safe mode to default setting but that also didn't help.

Does anyone please know how to fix this very annoying problem?

Please I really don't want to go back to Chrome but if that's the only reliable browser without so many downsides (apart from privacy) then I don't see any other option if I can't fix this asap.

thank you.

Hi everyone, I have created an extension that can be used from the usual position at the top right through which you can do some things, including open a website locally. To be clearer ...

Extension Folder: - extension.js - manifest.json - LocalWebSite (folder)

Inside the LocalWebSite folder: - index.html

Then clicking the button via the extension will load the local website. At this point, when the local website is opened it becomes impossible to trigger any button, modal, or whatever, it's a totally static page.

One important thing is that I don't want to replace the popup with the static page, I wish I could have both.

Extension Code: // SiteWebLocale function openWebSite () {

   browser.tabs.create ({
       "url": "./LocalWebSite/index.html"
   });

} document.getElementById ("openWebSite"). addEventListener ("click", openWebSite);

Local Website Button Code (It doesn't work): <button type = "button" class = "btn btn-danger" onclick = "alert ('ok')"> Action </button>

I was in my bookmarks in a folder named "Bonus" about to select a website and the folder just disappeared, while I was in it. I went to a synced browser on a different computer to recover the folder. It was there and I was about to copy it when IT disappeared. That folder has all of my working tools in it. How can I recover a folder not stored on my harddrive but was stored in my browser?

I have two PDFs that I designed and uploaded to our website, but the headline in both displays with clipped characters in Firefox. Different fonts were used in both and the issue is the same. I even tried adding more tracking then re-uploading, the issue persists.

I checked in other browsers and the text displays as intended. The attached screenshots show the issue in Firefox, compared to how it should look (viewed in Chrome).

It's only this one line of text that is affected and I don't know why.
