Show me in the in interface where these files can be deleted:

Some very bold claims that I don't see backed up by anything having to do with reality.

I thought I was updating firefox today but the process lost the order of my book marks and makes them extremely hard to find. Some I used several times a day with one click. Now it takes me five clicks just to get to them and then a search. The old system worked perfectly for my purposes. Is there anyway to get back the old bookmarks tab and my old bookmarks in relatively decent order? The text promised me all my bookmarks,etc. I never would had clicked refresh if I had any idea this would be the outcome.

I have two gmail accounts and have saved both on my bookmark toolbar. Today, the email that has the http address "https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox" gives me nothing but a blank screen. The other, which has the http of "https://mail.google.com/mail/u/2/#inbox" operates just fine. I am able to open and access the first google account on my android phone or by using google chrome. I am only not able to use it on the firefox platform.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

My Firefox browser shows the built-in icon (x VPN) in the upper right of the screen. If I click on the icon it starts the process that results in successfully logging into my mozilla account and the screen prints out the following: Next: Turn on VPN

One more step to boost your browser’s privacy. Go to the open panel and turn it on.

But the screen shows no open panel! If I click on the (x VPN) again, the process starts over.

I have checked Settings > Privacy & Security and made sure that the entry "Allow Firefox to improve features, performance, and stability between updates" is checked. I have made sure that browser.ipProtection.enabled is set to true; browser.ipProtection.everOpenedPanel is set to false; and I see no entry for browser.ipProtection.openedPanelWithLocation.

I have signed out completely from the Mozilla account, restarted the browser, and logged back in to restart the process using (x VPN) but it still doesn't work.

Why the h377 did firefox change the screen shot tool by removing it from the address bar AND delete the center search bar, along with changing the location of all my recent web visit from the along the bottom of the screen? This is annoying and unhelpful to pc users, I need these functions back like they were in order to us your site on my pc. I donot and will never use firefox on my phone. If these functions are gone, then I will have leave as well. Either that or remove the update from my pc and cease ALL further updates.

Using Mozilla as my browser, I print from my Lenovo laptop to my HP Office Jet 8025e printer. The headers and footers have disappeared. The "print Header/Footer" is checked in the printer settings, but they do NOT print. This change has occurred during the last couple of weeks, perhaps as the result of an update. It seems that checking or unchecking that box makes no difference now. Same result regards...no Headers or Footers. Please advise.

How to make Firefox recognize an existing profile

I'm using Firefox in Windows. I lost all of my bookmarks... never mind how, I think I can prevent it from happening again... and I'm trying to figure out whether there is a way to recover them.

Looking in the profile folder, I see three profiles. One is listed on the about:profiles page, and is identified as the default. The other two aren't listed there at all.

I need to select each of those other two and see whether my bookmarks can be recovered from them. But how. The about:profiles page has a button for creating a new profile, but not for adding an existing profile to the page. Either it's listed there or it's not.

It seems to me that I could create a new profile and make it the default folder, then quit Firefox and replace it with a copy of one of the profiles I want to investigate. However, I lost my bookmarks by doing something similar to that, so I'm wary of doing it again.

Can someone explain what is happening here--why there are three profiles in the default profile's folder but only one list listed, and why there's apparently no provision for making Firefox list the others?

Hi! We have automated tests that run in Firefox across a large number of instances. There are about a hundred nodes where the browser is launched. For security reasons, there is no Internet access. When the browser closes, requests are sent to 146.75.117.91. Since there is no Internet connection, the request fails to complete, and the process terminates due to a timeout. Because the browser is controlled by geckodriver, the `driver.close()` call fails with an error. I’ve tried numerous browser startup options, but none solve the problem; the process still crashes. The only thing that works is blocking the IP address at the firewall level or in the `hosts` file. However, I’m not happy with this solution because it would need to be applied to a hundred nodes, which would create scalability issues down the line. Are there perhaps any options I missed? I also found these addresses in `omni.ja`. Could it be that they are hardcoded and cannot be changed via options?
