Hello, Today I was writing a draft post on Substack and the screen refreshed every few seconds. Possibly when Substack was saving changes. Each time it did this, the screen would go blank for an instant and refresh, and then I would have to click to place my cursor where it had been.

This is new as of this week. I was not writing on Substack using Firefox last week.

Firefox version 128.0, on Windows 10 Home v 22H2

thanks Chris.

Why has FF created two profiles? Can I delete one?

I'm clearing space on my hard disk. I discover FF has 2 profiles, both with default-release as part of their names. One was last modified today, and one last modified a few months ago. I've not knowingly done anything to create a profile in that period. Why have I got two, and can I delete the older one?

Many thanks

When I enter "about.config" in the address bar, it searches it instead and I can't get to the about.config page. I thought maybe it was the search extension I was using but when I changed it, the problem persisted. Is there a way to fix this or at least a way to get to the page?

images missing on many websites after page 1

I have been a Foxfire user for many years, but lately a number of issues are making me go to Chrome more and more often. Images are missing on many pages after page 1. Pages with images are very slow to load, even though the images are not being displayed. Some commercial websites won't allow me to access them at all (Eddie Bauer is an example,) often displaying an "Access denied" message.

Also, I am forced to log in almost every time I access sites (Yahoo mail and Amazon are examples that I access daily.) With 2-factor ID, this is a big issue because my phone is usually at the other end of the house.

These things don't happen with Chrome. Is there a way to fix them in Firefox?

tab recovery?

Hi, my pc (I think the ssd/os) just quit on me, is there a way for me to build a new system (reformat) onto a new drive and either using the old drive (if accessable) or "the cloud" recover all my old tabs from that pc onto the new one? I had a list of tabs saved, but it hasn't been updated in a couple months (yes, I have a lot and can't remember them all).

I'm hopeing it's as simple as putting the old drive as a secondary drive and copying the "appdata" folder or something to the new pc.

System: windows 7 (yeah, I don't want to give it up) on evga mobo with i7-x990 cpu and maxed out ram. Samsung ssd (2.5"). Most all "personal data" is stored and accessed from my nas, just don't know how to do that for the tab hostory.

Since v128 update my right click menu contains all possible items and doesn't work. For example, right clicking a video and changing playback speed has no effect.

I already tried running troubleshoot mode to no avail. Tried manually add-ons to no avail. I even uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail.

I have Firefox on 2 computers. One is for my wife. On her computer Firefox defaults to all my settings, including passwords and logins. When she tries to log into her accounts, like CC and banking, everything defaults back to my settings.

How can I set up Firefox on her computer with only her settings?

After your an update some weeks ago, I have not been able to access my bank account using Firefox. Got some advice from support from the bank, but since I have an US version, the labels to be accessed differed, and were not compatible with the advice. Presently using M Edge, which I of several reasons don`t want to. Any suggestions?
