Firefox Support Forum

Hello, I need your help and support. I put in steps what i had done.

1. I had a sync in my account dchisinska-br@o2.pl 2. Format C: without extracting my profile 3. After reinstal Win10 I wanted to sync but forgot the password 4. Reset password, BUT didnt know that when I change my password without Recovery Key all will be lost. 5. When I realized that this happened I found a profile from 2019. 6. Every time when I copy data form old profile to new profile browser want to refresh and whole profile is clear withou data. 7. Also I opened Help->more tools for Troubleshooting information -> Profile folder -> Open -> COPY from old to new. Nothing happened. Still have nothing.

I lost all my password, history and everything.

Please help or how to solve this problem. Or maybe you can recover data from SYNC which is missing after changing password to my mozilla account.

Thank you, Danuta

My windows 10 is forcing me to update windows. If i ignore the warnings. it just kills my unsaved work and restarts my computer. To make it worse. After I start Firefox again is starts to update too. And after the update all my Open tabs and session info is completely killed. The first time it was annoying. be now it is a reason to go back to an other browser. The last time i checked i was still the owner of my laptop. and not Microsoft and not Mozilla!

If this bug is not fixed I uninstall Firefox. I need a browser i can rely on. not just doing what it wants.

Can I install the latest Firefox on my Windows Server 2008 r2, or do I have to worry about compatibility issues? Is there a specific Firefox version for my OS? Thanks in advance for the help.

.. Ich habe die aktuelle Firefox 79 Version, wollte mir ein Addon installieren, da kommt die Meldung " für Firefox, downloaden sie Firefox"...

Dies machte Ich mit dem gedanken , das evtl. ein Miniupdate sein könnte, ich installierte die gedownloadete Version Firefox 79. Aber wieder kann ich keine Addons installieren, als hätte ich kein Firefox...??? Bitte um Hilfe, Danke

.. I have the current Firefox 79 version, wanted to install an addon, there comes the message " for Firefox, download Firefox"...

I did this with the thought that it might be a mini update, I installed the downloaded version Firefox 79. But again, I can't install any addons as if I didn't have Firefox...??? Please help me, thanks

Hi,

Sorry if this is a stupid question - I just can't find anything online that works. I'm trying to move the entirety of Firefox from my C:\ drive to my D:\ drive in order to reduce writes to my SSD. I'm trying to use mklink with this command to move my profiles from appdata:

mklink /J "C:\Users\[name]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles" "D:\Programs\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles"

However, when I try and execute it I get the result "Cannot create a file when that file already exists." Does anyone know how to fix this?

Is there a pocket-free build of firefox available for download? Before you say, you can just disable it, I already have. In addition to that I've blocked the update/api url as well. I want it removed completely, I strong feel mozilla should make it opt-in or provide a pocket free build.

I was thinking perhaps there is a regulatory constraint on of the builds here that I could install, then change back to english?

https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/79.0/linux-x86_64/

Any help would be appreciated.

My parents do not have administrator rights under Win10 and could no longer start Firefox when an update was offered. Instead of starting at least the outdated Firefox version, only an update popup appears that can only be run as an administrator. How do I have to carry out the installation so that Firefox can continue to be used in the old version (until I update it)?

Been using f-fox for years . Suddenly at reinstall rec'v error message see attachment "firefox-crash-Capture" . After that firefox fails at run time see attachment "firefox-crash-Capture-II" then nothing works no clicks must use ALT F4 to exit.

Please advise.

From a Mozilla Support page, " Firefox lets you import login information from a .csv (##..##) file. This feature is available starting in Firefox Version 80." I have the .csv file for my logins and passwords thru the export function. I can not get the drop down menu where I can select the "import from a file..." per the instruction in the support example because I am running Version 79. Many attempts to update to the latest version stops at 79. My help page for version states that I have the latest update --v79. SO--- any suggestions as to were I can go to download version 80. I am trying to transfer my logins from laptop 1 to laptop 2 without going thru the laborious task of entering each login by hand.

Hi, I'm wanting to upgrade my Mac OS. Will all my Firefox data be retained including my saved sessions? Will opening Firefox have everything just like it was before the update, so that the last current session will open up with all the previously open tabs?

I recently decided to upgrade my SSD and install Windows 10 on it. I was wondering how I can retrieve the my history/ bookmarks/ username and passwords from the previous SSD and install them on my new SSD.

Thanks for any help,
