I am trying to get rid of old bookmarks.

I logged out of all my devices except my main PC, deleted many folders of unwanted bookmarks.

changed my password

on my other devices that were not connected to sync, I deleted all bookmarks completely.

I only wanted what was on my main PC that I worked so hard on.

now tonight on my PC all the old bookmarks are back again.

this page doesn't make any sense, there is no option to "Delete data from this device" when I sign out.

When using web video conferencing services (Google Meet, Teams, etc.) that run in the browser, on a Windows system, Firefox only offers a single output device: the system-configured Default Device. It does not offer the system-configured Default Communication Device. (I can swap the default before a call, but that is cumbersome at the end of the day.)

In this instance, the default is the speakers built into my screen, through HDMI. The communication default is my headset, which also provides the microphone (which is recognised and works fine).

The issue is not experienced with Chrome (the only other tried). It has been an issue through many years, on multiple machines, with various default sudio out devices attached.

I have latest version of Firefox for Windows 10 and about 2 weeks ago the Last Pass extension from your website stopped loading correctly. The extension installs in the toolbar, but does not work. It partially loads and then freezes up. I was able to resolve by removing extension and then going to Last Pass's website and downloading their Last Pass 4.0. Your extension is messed up. Tom Weaver

I created a Password Generator add-on two days ago. Interestingly, it was approved, but when I added it to my Firefox extensions list, it’s not working. However, it works perfectly fine locally when I use it directly from my files. Could you help me understand what the issue might be? If there was an error or something wrong, why did it get approved?

I have appreciated Firefox for many years, so long in fact that I no longer have access to the email address that I signed up with. I have had no reason to access my account so I did not realise that it was out of date. I was accessing my account to check that I had two-factor protection and since I could not access the account I decided to create a new account and used the help pages to move my profile to the new account. I was able move my profile and access all my bookmarks and PASSWORDS! I simply uninstalled Firefox, moved my profile to another location, downloaded Firefox and copied the old profile over the newly created profile. I opened Firefox and could open the password manager and see all my passwords. I could not believe how easily I could access all the sensitive information. I needed no password - just access to the profile. This profile will be saved on any computer that I have used to log into Firefox. Anyone with access to those computers could easily repeat what I was able to do. This is a serious secuirty flaw and I simply can't believe I was able to do this!!!!!

Hi,

For the past couple of months, FF has been running insanely slow. It takes several minutes for webpages to load. My full-fibre broadband is up to speed, I've cleared the cache numerous times, I've disabled most of my extensions, I'm running the latest version, and I only have 5-6 tabs open max.

When things are really slow, the task manager shows that FF is using huge amounts of memory, with more FF processes showing that I have tabs open.

According to a thread last year, Malwarebytes Browserguard was slowing FF down. Is this still the case? If so, what non-slowing alternative do you recommend? I don't want to turn it off until I have another one installed.

Thanks!

Hi to all

    • My Mac: MacPro Catalina X.15.7 / MacBook Pro 2011**

I'm looking for answers. For several weeks now, Firefox has been unable to start, and other programs are hindered upon launch.

After shutting down, I have to start Firefox 130.x 2-3 times. The icon in the Dock doesn't respond, followed by a crash report.

PDF Expert 2 also won't start unless Firefox has been started at least 2-3 times.

After starting Firefox 2-3 times, it finally launches, as does PDF Expert 2. However, this can suddenly change again.

As long as Firefox is trying to start, many NON-Mac programs, but also WINDOWS programs like Word & Co., are unable to start.

And here's what I've tried:

- Completely deleted all affected programs - Reinstalled Firefox - Deleted Word and Co. (!) (still not installed) - Reinstalled PDF Expert 2 - Reset PRAM, started Firefox without add-ons, booted Mac in safe mode... everything the internet suggests - The Activity Monitor shows no irregularities (how can I explore?)

WHY is Firefox disrupting the entire Mac? What resources does the program use that causes other programs to be disrupted?

What is affected that prevents multiple programs from starting? WHERE can I at least read about this (logs)?

I have the same configurations on other Macs, and everything has been working fine for years, so it must be something with the MacBook Pro's system.

Reinstall the entire system? I doubt it will fix the problems since everything runs fine without Firefox.

Can anyone give me some clues?

Thanks a lot.... I will give you more information, if any questions (if at all)

I have two firefox accounts. Got a new computer and trying to sync to the new one. I have tried to sync both of them. But only 34 of 300 passwords transferred and only 20ish bookmarks of 100s transferred.

I have tried looking into both accounts on both computers at the same time, run sync, but nothing more will transfer

I cannot print anything on my computer since this PDF Print appeared. Everything was going along as per normal, now this. How do I get it back to the "normal" situation for me. Receive an email, hit the print button and lo and behold a printed sheet, etc. It is driving me to distraction. I have been using FireFox since whenever, no problems. I'm not too computer savvy but enjoy its use like anyone else. Something I will be able to follow and implement. I have seen a delete article but couldn't get it to do anything for. I just want to delete it. I cannot even print a normal letter I have written. Than kyou most sincerelyTimothy Barclay teejay1949@gmail.com
