Is there anyway to move history so it is not nested in some other setting?
It's really terrible that to enter my history I need to hit library then history.

System suddenly changed IE to default browser for Thunderbird messages. Going through Settings, Defaults, Firefox is not an option, the icon is not there. The main issue is Thunderbird now opens messages in IE all of a sudden instead of Firefox. In Firefox Options, I click on set default and it comes up with IE or search store for an app. I'd be grateful for any help.

I searched for a fix, it says (from 2016) if you are using 64 bit firefox you must switch to 32, beause the flashplayer for 64 bit firefox doesn't support Context3D. But that is completely irrelevant because I am using a 32bit firefox and getting the error. from what I've searched it's not flashplayer causing it. and I have just installed the newest flashplayer.

I don't know what to add to the above. I assumed that having logged on to my Firefox account on the old laptop and confirmed that Sync was active (which it was - bookmarks etc.) and then do the same on the new laptop I would see the same bookmarks appear on the new laptop. But they don't. What am I missing in that assumption and setup? Pls help! Thank you. Harold

I have various login usernames and passwords for various websites. Firefox (version 72.0.1) seems to remember the usernames and passwords ok, so I must have some settings right. But it won't log into those websites automatically when I click on a bookmark. The screen opens with the fields filled in, but I have to click through each login screen until I eventually reach the web site's home page. Under internet explorer the website home page would just open as soon as I clicked the bookmark link in my favorites When I go to about:config and search signon, then signon.rememberSignons is set to "true" signon.autofillForms is also set to "true"
Transfering user profile from 60.7 ESR to 72.0.1 automatically

Hello All, I work for an organization and we are trying to upgrade from 60.7 ESR to 72.0.1 using a automated process. In doing so, I am having trouble having firefox use the current user profile in 60.7 and having firefox 72.0.1 defaulting to that same profile upon initial launch after installation. Instead, the new firefox creates a new profile and uses that instead of using the old profile. So my question is: is there a way to force firefox to use the old profile prior to installing FF 72? If not, is there a way to suppress the creation of a new profile so it is never created in the first place?

We updated the machine from Win 7 to Win 10. (Firefox worked before the update). After the update was complete, we tried to open Firefox and was prompted with the Windows 10 "User account control" permission prompt window. If we click YES on the UAC window, it closes and comes back (the User Account Control window).
I cannot get Firefox to open. the UAC window just keep re-appearing no matter how many times I click yes. I tried uninstalling re-installing. Same result. I tried uninstalling and installing Version 71 (the current version is 72). Version 71 opened 1 time. Then I closed it and re-opened it, The same UAC prompt appears and the issue repeats.

Running v68.4.1 esr. Have set app.update.auto to false (interesting this pref shows twice in about:config). Have removed the update URL Firefox is still trying to update. Many updates break something, so I want to manage the 10 PCs on Firefox on my schedule. I test all updates and resolve any issues before I roll out updates - the whole point of an ESR release. What am I missing?
Now that an update has been detected, once I block update, how do I get rid of the notification? If I back up my profile folder, uninstall and reinstall Firefox, then copy back my profile is it simply going to put it back to the state it's in now... wanting to update?

I am somewhat disappointed. I have read several old and new topics on this subject and do not understand what is happening. Why are you complicating where it should be simple. And why doesn't it work anyway? Firefox, are you kidding?
For example this topic https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1253515 Quote: " Three things:
(1) Create one or more "Allow" exceptions in Manage Permissions
(2) Check the box for "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed"
(3) UNCHECK the box for Cookies under "Clear history when Firefox closes" > "Settings" (this feature will blow away all cookies whether you made an exception or not)
"
Exceptions are not working even with all checkboxes uncheked. See my settings screenshots.

I don't need it. I don't want it. If I want to zoom in, I will use the option, to do so. I will NEVER use pinch/zoom on my laptop and it is a harrowing experience with everything I do when online. Even while writing this and trying to scroll, it zooms.
Please do not tell me to disable it in Windows. I use an external keyboard and Windows ̶r̶e̶f̶u̶s̶e̶s̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶o̶f̶f̶e̶r̶ doesn't have that option for an external keyboard.
Cleaning up the address bar
All of the tweaks I used in FF 71 don't seem to be working. There's so much garbage in the address bar that I can't read the URL.
