I have Firefox 129.0 64 bit on 2 laptops, Laptop2023 and Laptop2024. I would like Laptop2024 to match Laptop2023. If possible, would like to copy the Profile, or at least the Bookmarks. The web articles direct me to Help options which do not exist. I do not want to reset anything on the sending laptop.

I have instructions on how to copy bookmarks from years ago, but Firefox has changed so much that they no longer work. How to I copy with the current Firefox version? If possible, email bjedrick@verizon.net.

I upgraded my version of Firefox from an ESR version to v129.0.1 on Debian 12. Drag and drop of files from the desktop or the file manager (PCManFM-Qt) into the browser stopped working. It is still working properly in Chrome.

This occurs with several web apps but, as an example, it occurs when trying to drag a jpeg into Roundcube Webmail while composing a message.

No browser console errors are genrated when trying to do this. It occurs in Troubleshooting (safe) mode as well. In apps that pop-up a "Drag files here" target, that target still appears but dropping the file on it does nothing.

I use Mozilla Firefox for work. Part of my work requires I use the GlobalProtect VPN client. When I log on to the VPN, everything appears to be fine. The problem arises when I log out of the VPN client, such as needing to switch to a different VPN.

When I log out of the VPN client, Mozilla slows down massively. I get the following errors when trying to access websites.

PR_END_OF_FILE Timeout

I thought it was a DNS issue, but the change I made previously did not prove to be a reliable fix, and I do not actually know the root cause of what is happening. Firefox returns to normal ONLY after a full computer restart. At this point I am considering switching browsers as, despite Firefox's functionality, it is starting to interfere with my work.

I have used other VPNs, such as Fortigate VPN, and not encountered anything like this.

Any advice or guidance would be appreciated.

I got an extension called BTRoblox and after installing it made most icons black and white. I uninstalled it and nothing changed, I tried changing my theme, restarting the browser, going in incognito tabs, and nothing has worked. I can't figure out for the life of me what this extension did to break Firefox.

I am using Firefox 129.0.1 on a Windows 11 laptop and the three dots do not appear on the shortcut tiles when I hover over any of them. I have checked online documentation and it still describes using the three dots to add, edit or remove a tile. Am I missing something? Help would be most appreciated.

I run Firefox on a Mac. I've saved my gmail login credentials in my Firefox saved passwords. About a month ago I started having a problem where opening the gmail login page no longer autofills my gmail username. I've used Firefox, Gmail, and Mac together for 14 years. This has never been a problem until July 2024.

I can't find an answer in Mozilla Support, Stackoverflow, etc.

I have noticed that on certain websites which have site search boxes on their webpages (e.g. reddit, tvtropes), if I click in the box to type a search term, it will display about five suggestions which I have searched in the long-distant past in some context which I no longer recall. I generally would prefer suggestions not to show up in the first place, and I don't know why these specific terms are the specific ones which show up. Since this issue happens with site-specific search engines, rather than the search engine associated with the address bar, I'm unsure how to delete these suggestions. I normally browse in private windows, and on the rare occasion that I don't, I usually delete my history, and am unsure how the suggestions came to persist, and to persist only in the context I describe? If anyone can help, I'd be thankful.
