Hello,
today I have installed new OS and new Firefox.
Because I was syncing everything I thought after login everything will be same as before.
Before reinstaling OS I didnt export anything from Firefox. Now I have no bookmarks, no history, add-ons.
I do keep Lockwise on my iPhone and it connected somehow with my desktop browser so I have passwords in my browser now (thank god for that - otherwise I have no clue how they got there).
Is there a way I can restore Firefox (bookmarks and add-ons) to how it was yesterday?
I dont have firefox install elsewhere, just on my desktop.
Thanks a lot for help

I have a custom pitch black theme ( pls add it without addons ) which now only flashes for a second when i open the browser and returns to the normal greyish dark mode. When i go to Firefox Color addon page and load it again in saved themes it stays pitchblack even if i open another browser window until i close all the browser windows .

Ever since I updated to Firefox 132, I get a Tab Crash if I go to Facebook (logged in), DSLReports Forums (like https://www.dslreports.com/forum/vzfiber), and Rockstar Social Club (logged in).
I have tried playing with the settings, Troubleshooter Mode, and Private Windows...all the same result.

duplicate of /questions/1472253 thread
Since Firefox version 100 the last argument for firefox-bin (last argument for its option -appDir) is `true 1 socket` whereas in previous versions Firefox 95 and earlier this was `true tab` In Linux Fedora fc20.x86_64 the version 95 and earlier work but starting from the version 100 Firefox fails to display GUI (there appears only empty window created by Gnome and titled Firefox). All the requiremnts concerning software versions have been satisfied. Therefore I suspect that this difference in the last argument may indicate the cause of this problem. Hence my question: Is it possible, without recompilation of Firefox (now 132), to provide this last argument as `true tab` instead of `true 1 socket` for option -appDir of firefox-bin ?
At the end of output from command, ps -flu username all the options and parameters provided by the binary firefox to firefox-bin are displayed eg., for Firefox-132: /usr/local/lib64/firefox132/firefox-bin -contentproc -parentBuildID 20241021175835 -prefsLen 24975 -prefMapSize 253763 -appDir /usr/local/lib64/firefox132/browser {1ac1038c-19a2-4a74-8e03-83da21315c92} 15183 true 1 socket while for firefox-95: /usr/local/lib64/firefox95/firefox-bin -contentproc -childID 1 -isForBrowser -prefsLen 1 -prefMapSize 240375 -jsInitLen 278884 -parentBuildID 20211218203254 -appDir /usr/local/lib64/firefox95/browser 7726 true tab
I have already signaled this problem in relevance to Firefox-128; without solution.

I've just been told by my Firefox Browser that there is an update available but it can't install it automatically, I need to manually download the file and install it. It took me to an Enterprise page which gave me the choice between a Rapid Response version or an ESR version. Firstly why an Enterprise page? Secondly which version do I need fora PC running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit please?

Hello.
I am sure that this is a 'known issue' but, when I attempted to update the browser just now, it failed and directed me to install it manually.
Is there a time estimate when this glitch will be fixed?

I know that typically mozilla does not put a low bound on advisories, and https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2024-40/ is the advisory for vulnerabilities fixed in ESR 128.2. CVE-2024-8387 is listed here. yet the advisory for 115, https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2024-41/ does not list this vulnerability. Was this something that was only impacting 128 (for the ESR builds) or is there a mistake that either 115.15 did patch it but it wasn't documented, or the patch has been missed and ESR 115 is still vulnerable?

Currently on 131.0.3. Started having this issue around the time 131 dropped.
I press Ctrl-shift-O and bookmarks manager won't open. Bookmarks manager opens normally if I use the menu to open it. Keybind won't work in troubleshooting mode so I know it's not an addon, and the hotkey works fine on other computers with Sync enabled so I know it doesn't have to do with my synchronized settings. Also won't open with a fresh profile so I am very hesitant to reset all my settings.
I use this keybind multiple times per browsing session so it has had a major impact on my usage. Not sure what to do. Please help!
I'm going to try a graphics driver update in the hope that helps. This is on Windows btw.

For reference, there's an excellent extension on Chrome/Brave called "Go full screen" which has simple but perfect functionality, one-click automation, saves as either .pdf or .png format to your downloads folder.

Hi, I just finished writing a few lines of javascript to automate bookmark management. I tested my Addon using about:debugging > Temporary Extensions, and now I'd like to keep the extension loaded across firefox sessions.
What is the best process for doing this? I attempted to create a .xpi file but when installing via "about:addons > Install addon from file" I get the message "This addon could not be installed because it could not be verified".
What is Firefox's self-signing process for this? I don't want to have to install dev versions of the browser just to automate one task.

I think started some time this year, I can't find a Firefox download that installs without admin rights from official website. The .exe and .msi options all require admin privileges.
1. Is there still a no-admin-rights version available? 2. If not, why was it removed? 3. Any plans to bring it back?

We are in an enterprise environment and for years we have had disabled automatic updates.
Firefox ESR 128.2.0 has been deployed with defaults and these settings have been configured to override previous settings.
Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Mozilla > Firefox
- Custom Update URL = Disabled - Disable Update = Disable - Application Autoupdate = Enabled - Background updater = Enabled
We also have a system proxy configured.
Updates do work if someone goes to Help > About Firefox.
Looks like the update interval is once every 7 hours but how is this triggered?
