I exported my passwords from Chrome and used FFPass to import into Firefox.
The passwords are visible by inspecting:
Machine 1: Settings->Preferences->Privacy and Security->Saved Logins Machine 2: Settings->Logins and Passwords
But when I set-up my third machine and sync, everything gets installed correctly (bookmarks, tabs, preferences, etc) except logins. I don't see any logins; however, if I manually browse to a website, enter my login, Firefox will ask if I want to save. If I click yes, then that login is saved, but none of my imported logins are.
Can someone help? I have over 150+ logins... manually adding them one-by-one is not an option.
Machine 1: RHEL 7.7 / Firefox 60.8.0esr Machine 2: F29 / Firefox 68.0.2 Machine 3: F30 Firefox 68.0.2

When I shifted over to firefox, I set the home screen to display bookmarks, and my bookmarks weren't showing (only one, not sure why this was the chosen one).
I deleted them all, and then added them sequentially, and they all appeared and all seemed to work.
Now they've all dropped off again.
I don't have 'restore previous setting' selected (as a prior answer suggests would work, described here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1253979). I sync my settings on my phone/surface pro/iMac.
Any thoughts? Thanks.

I have moved my old firefox profile to a new computer (from pc to mac) and just migrated the profile.
I've been using the master password option for my profile on pc for years, but on the profile move to mac, when I launch firefox, everything seems to be working fine, except for passwords. I noticed by default master password was not enabled. I attempted to turn that on (it asked to create a new password and said an existing one was not set), but when I attempted to create it, it came up with an error saying master password can not be reset.
it shows no saved logins or passwords currently on the new mac profile
I've moved the profile from PC to PC in the past and didn't have this issue. I'm currently lost as to how to fix this.

The search bar that used to be in the center of the page has suddenly moved to the top of the page in all new tabs: https://i.imgur.com/2f5VZjv.png
This started around noon today, and was not preceded by any updates or changes to Firefox or any of my addons, so far that I'm aware of.
How do I return the search bar to the center of the page?
The page refresh button has disappeared. How do I get it back?

gmail remains signed in even after clear data and clear history in which everything is deleted, hows that possible in private browsing? Whats private in private browsing if cookies remain and websites share cookie data among themselves despite closing and reopening private window? There is no display of cookie and data exchange and no appropriate recommendation of safe firefox extensions & updates on extensions and other components that might have compromised

I have used two factor authentication to access my account. Now when I have switched telephone I can of course not login any more. Since I had a disk failure, I have lost my security code too. Furthermore, when I try to login with my normal mail address, I get the screen saying "Check your email for the verification link sent to... " but there is no mail sent. I had to use another mail address and create a new account to access the support here.
Why is there no verification link sent? How can I enable my normal account again? I need it to update my add-ons.

Since a Firefox update a week or so ago, both my Window 10 laptop and window 7 desktop, who have synch'd bookmarks, show a multiplicity of repetitive entries that I did not bookmark, some are only websites that I visited but did not bookmark, others are sites that I bookmarked once, but are now repeated many times in the toolbar. How do I clear this and avoid the problem? Is it a setting issue? I made a printscreen, but cannot upload it as an image. Please send me an answer at adesouches@sbcglobal.net

I'm having problems logging into my Gmail account as well as Fiverr. When I login, nothing happens. The page only refreshes. And now with Gmail, I get an error message telling me the page is "inaccessible". I refresh and can login.
What I have to do in order to login to both, is manage data, and eliminate cookies related to both accounts. Then I can login, but first have to go through an authentication process. It stinks. Does anyone have ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks

When I'm visiting a site, one of the other people will provide a link to a twitter comment by someone else - best example a twitter from the President. These likes don't show up at all on my screen. They used to until foxfire's last so-called upgrade. I've had advice to go to the drop down menu and do a number of things. Sooooo. Where is this drop down menu located? Please, it's frustrating getting only half the conversation.
