Dear Mozilla Firefox Support Team, I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to seek assistance regarding an issue we have been facing with Firefox. After some days of usage, Firefox prompts us to create a new profile, and the browser does not function as expected unless we do so. Here are the details: • We have installed the latest version of Mozilla Firefox several times (2-3 times). • We have also created new profiles, but the issue persists. • Despite these efforts, the error to create a new profile continues to reoccur. Could you kindly assist us in resolving this issue? Any guidance or troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated.

Firefox no longer opens up an html page when the link is in the email. The link can be opened manually. I have received email notifications that my email program does not handle html content emails. This started a couple of weeks or a month or so ago. I suspected Thunderbird was the problem so I removed it and installed the latest version. No change everything the same. So is the problem in Firefox ? As I installed Firfox with Ubuntu I need to wait on Ubuntu to fix the problem. If I delete Firefox and install directly will I lose all my links etc ? de Barry [email removed]@bigpond.net.au ps could this be related to the well known Telstra fault in bigpond.net.au services ?

Running Firefox 133.0.3 on Windows 10 22H2

The last week or so, when I try to download my photos from iCloud, Firefox blocks the download, saying it contains a virus or malware. Of course it does not - it's a zip file of screenshots! Running a scan on the folder once unzipped confirms there is nothing malicious in it. Can you fix that please?

When will Firefox add Save Page button? Lots of small browsers has that for decades. It helps a lot to save WebPage and view them Offline by oppening the app then browse to saved pages. That fast and easy.

Extension to SaveWeb takes a lot of time and need to open another app to view them.

I would like to be able to download YouTube videos.

Is there a Firefox add-on that will allow me to download YouTube videos onto my MacMini?

I tried Video DownloadHelper and YouTube Video Downloader and didn't see any action.

Do I need to setup settings a certain way to make it work?

What are the steps to make it work?

Thank you for your assistance.

Private Browsing deleted download files when I closed the window??

It's not that they are not in my Firefox downloads manager, which I expected. It's that I confirmed before closing my private browsing window that they were in my Downloads folder on my C drive, and when I went back after closing the private browsing window they were gone. Under "recent files" in my file browser it showed a couple of the most recent downloads and when I tried to click to open them it said they had been moved or deleted. Entering the first couple words of the file titles in the search bar in my file browser yields absolutely nothing.

This was over 30 files or so. It will be really irritating to try to find and download all of them again. Does anyone know of any way for me to get them back???
