Hello... So, a couple of weeks ago, there was a 15-hour blackout during a Windows 11 update. I had exited firefox, and was shutting the laptop down, and it asked if I wanted to update and shut down (or other options). I chose update and close. When the lights came on and the router booted back up, Windows finished updating. It works, but here is the rub: whenever Ffox runs, a couple of minutes into the sessions, it will start displaying previous session screens, screen saver-like: one after the other every ten seconds or so. I can't X out, because it disappears whenever I move the cursor. The images appear not only on Ffox, but cover whatever other app's screen until I move the cursor, which is irritating when you're trying to meet the deadline on a novel! Please help! I am running version 140, by the way.

The following problem has occurred at least three times, each with a different organization. In making an online contribution, I first enter my personal information-name, address, email, etc--and then move on to enter credit card information. When I enter the credit card information, the personal information disappears. When I re-enter the personal information, the credit card data disappears. Eventually, I wind up calling the intended recipient and giving them all this information verbally. What is going on with Firefox? How can this problem be fixed?

When I click on a bookmark, FF opens it in the current tab, overwriting the site I had open. I have to add a tab, then click on the bookmark to have it in a new tab. This is an annoying extra step. How to I change it? I already tried the open links in new tabs instead of windows. Makes no difference On or Off

I have three monitors. It's the same behavior on all three.

I just downloaded Firefox and came to the page for importing data to Firefox, where it says " Import browser data" followed by a box containing "Microsoft Edge" in the next line, then

Select the data you’d like to import. Favorites Saved passwords Browsing history Form autofill data

then the prompt to Import

Is this a trick for Edge to import the data rather than Firefox or as it should be for Firefox to Import the data including that in Edge? As you might have guessed - I don't trust Edge or Microsoft one little bit.

My toolbar is visible when I click on the 'Open a new tab' plus sign at the top. But if I go to a site, either from a search or from bookmarks, the toolbar disappears.

I just (yesterday) had to delete profile, delete bookmarks, delete Firefox, install Firefox, in order to get it where it would save bookmarks again. The toolbar, prior to that, did NOT disappear when I went to a new site.

Please help.

For the past two evenings I was able to open the xfinity stream menu & channel lineup but could not open the "play" function on any channel that was selected from my search box or any selected channel from the lineup. Xfinity customer service had vague topics, nothing addressing this issue. Trying to determine if this is a comcast issue or an issue with Firefox. Help would be much appreciated.

I opened up Firefox just now to find that my two profiles currently in use are completely inaccessible. I was faced with a "Create Profile" dialogue that launched me into a brand new profile with none of my settings, keybinds, cookies, extensions, anything. Despite this, I know for a fact that my old profiles are *still* there. As you can see my profile folders are right there, with all their data intact as far as I can tell from inspecting their contents, yet they are not accessible from the about:profiles.

Please help me. What is happening with the profile manager? How do I access those old profiles?
