I'm using add-on (MarkA link) to annotate links. It works pretty fine, except that "from time to time" all marks dissappeares (without any clear message or anything). The data is kept in `storage-sync-v2.sqlite` database in a form of chunks (each chunk has length of 1084 bytes) as single "big" JSON. Application data is a JSON as well (here an object where link is a key with additional data for the link). All characters in "internal" JSON, which are not allowed as "external" (the one with "na" objects) are escaped with '\'. I observed, that storage_sync_data::data might be incorrectly split, what causes the escape character escapes "external" JSON (I mean it joins two `na` chunks , which after that cannot be parsed (and whole data is removed), e.g.: ``` {\"grp\":\"bibl\",\"type\":\"Mark\","na_9":"",\"mark\":\"\"}, ``` where "external" JSON is broken on `Mark` (as " from "internal" document is split into two entries, and closing " is escaped with a '\' from a `Mark` tag.

Things goes even worse, if the properties allow to contain some "special" characters escaped with '\' (e.g. new line, quotation mark, backslash, etc).

Just switched from PC to Mac and miss the Page Up, Page Down, Home and End buttons. Wondering if there's a Firefox addon or extension to add these functions to a Macbook. I've searched but not found anything. I know I can't be alone in wishing for this!

(I am aware of using "Fn" and the arrow keys on a Mac to do page up and page down, but they are opposite sides of the keyboard and require both hands to scroll by page.)

The Avast Password Manager was deleted from task bar about 5 days ago or so-- 12/11/24. Why would Firefox do that and inconvenience its customers? It needs to be restored immediately and nowhere to find help on this matter. Avast is aware of the problem and so is Firefox but we, the customers, have no solution that is available. This encourages us to use Chrome instead. Is there a solution? Please advise.

I haven't added a new extension in quite a while and can't remember how to pin it to the toolbar. I've tried clicking on settings and the ... icon, with the extension both open and closed, but can't find "Pin to Toolbar" anywhere. Can someone refresh my memory?

The Firefox Translations add-on has been discontinued and no longer works. As a foreign language learner, I found it very useful to open the Firefox Translations popup, enter some text, and have that text translated locally. Is there an alternative that has the same functionality?

Where possible I prefer to sign in using a passkey (stored on a USB key). I use a password manager for the rest, and have thus disabled password saving inside Firefox.

However, when password saving is disabled, Firefox will not prompt for using a passkey when inside a login field, this works when I re-enable password saving, but that leads to other annoyances.

Is there a way to enable passkey the passkey option without also enabling the password saving?

Is there an issue with firefox which deems it not suitable for passkeys?

I'm trying to add the "current" (5.23.13 Oct '24) Nordpass extension to a computer (where I had successfully added it just a week ago, under another account)... but when I searched extensions yesterday, only the older/Legacy version of Nordpass (4.33.10 Nov '22) is shown in the results. Searched from a couple other computers that I manage, all only show the Old/Legacy Nordpass extension.

Why most extensions (addons) are not updated for last 2 years that are under "Recommended extensions"?

I checked many, not all, are updated since 2022 and 2023. Chrome updates them and allows them to be usable with newer versions of Chrome and other browsers that support Chrome extensions.

And same addons on Chrome extension store are updated but not on Firefox addon store.

Is Firefox not focusing on security and updates anymore?

This button that looks like a jig saw bit will not budge.

Can I delete this in about:config by deleting the 'unified extention button' and can I delete the 'HKLM/SOFTWARE/Wow6432Node/Mozilla/Firefox/Extensions' in the registry?

Firefox these days is getting a burden with more info and such like being collected behind out backs, it's about to be ditched on all my computers, the last few episodes make me want out.

Dave.
