The font size in "Manage Bookmarks" is way too large, both in the sections list menu on the left and the list of bookmarks. I checked my userChrome.css file as well as the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx entry in about:config and there's nothing there to explain why only the "Manage Bookmarks" text is so large.

It's possible I changed a setting somewhere that's causing this. But I'm stumped re: what setting might be controlling the font size in only that UI. All other Firefox text sizes are good.

Thanks to anyone who knows where I should be looking

Why am I getting the following error: "Sorry, you have been blocked. You are unable to access ssl1.prod.s1search.co" When I attempt to use the Dogpile search engine (https://www.Dogpile.com)? If you can't fix it then how can I disable it? The only reason I can its' use is to give me carpal tunnel syndrome. I don't need extra mouse clicks or the aggravation of not being able to use the search engine that I've been using as long as I've been using Firefox.

Firefox sync unable to sign in

I have set up a new Windows 11 PC (brand new installation). I installed Firefox and tried to sync, because I want to copy settings, history etc. from my Windows 10 PC.

However, it fails. I enter my password, then it asks me to enter a code sent to my email. I enter that code, and it says "Bad request" and "Something went wrong. Please close this tab and try again."

It's not the most helpful error message. All I can do is retry, but after 20+ attempts, I think there is something wrong with the 2FA.

I'm able to successfully log in to https://accounts.firefox.com/ on the browser without any issue. That uses a 2FA code from the authenticator app on my phone.

Any ideas? Is there a better way of copying my browser to the new computer? I was thinking of just copying the Firefox profile folder, but I don't want to end up with it duplicated since my Windows 10 PC is still active.

Trying to sync my galaxy S20 5G and MacBook Pro 14 inch 2023. Mozilla instructions tell me to look for an option to sync in the menu, but there is no such option on my version of Firefox on my Galaxy. It says that I have the current version of Firefox for android, but the thinking option is not available on that menu. How do I follow up?

Several weeks ago, I was attempting to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11. In the process, I deleted Firefox (using Revo Uninstaller) and then reinstalled it, downloading it from the Mozilla website. Unfortunately, it didn’t run, giving me, at different attempts, different error messages. In the time since then, I have read many suggestions from many different websites and I have tried some of these suggestions, all with no success – until today. I have just completed the suggestions made on https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1327628 and Firefox is now back, working. I am happy and grateful, but not finished. None of my personal data came with the currently functioning version of Firefox. Since the re-emergence of Firefox, I have been reading several websites dealing with copy, backup and restore of my Firefox profile. Right now, the path C:\Users\rsuth\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ shows 5 folders: Two of the folders show 11/11/24 as the date modified (probably the date of the download from Mozilla). The folder 0dppjrfa.default contains one file, times.json, dated 8/11/2020. The other folder, ru82tlj5.default-release, has 97 items, most dated 11/11/2024. The remaining three folders are all dated 12/2/24 (today, as I write this). One folder’s name ends .default, the second name ends .default-release, and the third name ends .default-release-thirteen digits. The question that I am asking here is what do I do next to, hopefully, bring back the personal date I had with Firefox before my updating to Windows 11. Should I delete the folders dated 12/2/24? What, if anything, is the significance of the folder whose name ends in 13 digits? I’m hoping someone will be able to tell me how to fix these Firefox problems. And if I can, then I hope to be able to do something similar to help me bring back Thunderbird as well. Thunderbird became unfunctioning at the same time as Firefox. Thank you.

All,

I just downloaded over a 100 images and created anew bookmarks folder, which I saved them to. I think I have some duplicates,so need to execute a sort on that bookmarks folder, which will place the duplicates next to each other so then I can find and delete the dups.

How do I do this?

Cheers! TBNK
