So I change the tabs maxim length (i chose 225) because i hate not seeing the name of the tabs that i have open, now i have 10 tabs on my sight on my monitor, i usually open a LOT of tabs for youtube videos or so on, and have a constant of 40+ tabs open

the issue is when i scroll through the tabs with my mouse wheel, it jumps 10 tabs at once, now i see the arrows on the side of the tabs, my monitor is Ultra Wide so is annoying to keep pressing that Scroll backwards & Forwards button especially when the speed is to slow, while my mouse wheel speed is in 10 tabs TO fast!

Is there a way to change the Speed of the mouse wheel scroll tabs ? something in about:config ? or a Add-on?

According to Firefox Help, "After you have defined and set your Primary Password, you will be prompted to enter it once for each Firefox session, when Firefox needs access to your stored passwords." But since updating to version 136.0 I get asked for my Primary Password even to see my home page. Why is this?

Why can't I install Firefox on a Windows tablet?

Hello, everyone,

I don't seem able to install Firefox on a Windows tablet (at least I think it's a tablet, it's an Asus Transformer Book, with a tablet screen and a detachable keyboard, anyway). Does anyone have any ideas why, please?

I should warn anyone before they read on that I am in no way techie, so helping me may be frustrating at times as I need advice/instructions etc spelled out really simply, as anything too technical is beyond me, I'm afraid.

So, anyone brave and/or patient enough to read on... I've bought the tablet secondhand, 'wiped' etc. It's an Asus T100HAN Processor: Intel(R) Atom(TM) x5-Z8500 CPU@ 1.44GHz 1.44GHz Installed memory: 2.00GB System type: 64-bit Operating System, 64-based processor Pen and touch: Full Windows Touch Support with 10 Touch Points

It's currently running Windows 10 Home, but I'm hoping to install Linux Mint on it, although it's only since I bought it that it's occurred to me that putting Linux on it might not be as straightforward as I thought, (ie I'm typing this on a laptop that came with Windows but on which I installed Linux Mint. "If Linux runs on this, it must run on anything that can handle Windows," I thought to myself before buying the tablet. But now I've realised that, eg, this laptop doesn't have a touchscreen, not does the screen have to rotate, which is the main reason for buying the tablet.)

That's sort of a digression, but might not be, as it explains why my priority right now is installing Firefox on the machine - so that even if it turns out I can't install Linux on it, at least I'll have Firefox rather than Edge or whatever.

So, in the Edge that came already on the machine, I accessed the official Mozilla page (despite getting several scary warnings from Edge about there being a problem with "this website's" security certificate, oh, and something about "Windows SmartScreen can't be reached at the moment") and downloaded Firefox. I went for the desktop version because that seemed more relevant than the Android or iOS versions. Then I've told it to "Run". The installer thing has come up and the little colour wave thing has happened with the icon in the taskbar (or whatever it's called). And then, after several minutes, I've got a message from Firefox Installer: "Hmm. For some reason, we could not install Firefox. Choose OK to start again." So I've clicked on OK, and the same thing has happened. Several times. And I've downloaded Firefox umpteen times as well, just in case there'd been an issue with that first download, only the same thing has happened, over and over again.

From the "about" thing, it looks like the 30GB or so of storage on the tablet, but about 10GB(!!!) is taken up by "system files to help Windows run properly. Your PC won't work without them."

Can anyone explain, please, what's going on, and what (if anything) I can do to get the wretched thing to allow me to install Firefox? I could just about cope if I can't get Linux, but no Firefox??? No, no no!

Thanks, Alice.

Hi, I hope maybe there might be a ray of hope here but I royally screwed up. Like BIG time. I was having issues with my windows laptop & the microsoft guy said to do a factory reset but select the option to keep my files & everything will be fine. Which I did. I did the reset & logged into my Firefox, only to find that NONE of my passwards had saved. It had asked for a 32 Key code but I've had this account for years & years & years and have never once been given a 32 key code. I thought maybe it was an option for future password reset so just clicked on 'next'. Well my bad, that was the dumbest thing I've ever done because all my passwords have been wiped & I've only managed to recover a tiny handful but most of them seem to be gone for good. Is there any hope of recovering? I thought because I had a Firefox account then that would be that, everything would be saved in the that account. Really wish I knew about the code thing, I wouldn't set one up if I knew. I think my biggest lesson from this is don't full trust the Microsoft guy if he makes it sound super easy & fuss free!

So I asked a question yesterday with the same problem but since then I've done a lot of my own research & what-not so I'm hoping I'm little more educated on what to do, however I'm just not fully understanding what I'm doing wrong, unfortunately.

So a run down of what happened yesterday. I was told by a microsoft guy to do a factory reset but select the option to keep my files. Which I did. I thought because I have a Firefox account my passwords will be uneffected. I did the reset & came back, downloaded firefox for their website, went to sign in & of course, I forgot my password for that, I hit forgot password & I was told to insert a 32 key code. I was never once given a code, I've had my account for yeeeears. I had to forgo entering the code & yup, everything has been wiped.

Since then in my research, I've heard many people talking about C:/Windows.old/users/kelsi/AppData/roaming/mozilla/firefox/profiles - I have this in my folders. Inside that there's also logins & logins-backup (JSON files) & key4 file. When I open up the logins into my notepad app, I see all my sites that I have passwords for (encrypted) so they are there! I then also have C:/Users/kelsi/AppData/roaming/mozilla/firefox/profiles/profiles (there's two folders labelled profiles). I was speaking to a few users online who said that I've to copy & paste the C:/Windows.old(...)profiles onto the C:/Users (...)/profiles & then start up firefox again. I did all that, opened up firefox again but nothing. However in the c:/users folder upto & into the profiles folder, it's got the key4, logins, logins-backup there. When I open the logins file on notepad, all my encrypted passwords are now also in the c:/users(...) profiles section.

So I'm just wondering what to do now. I feel like I've gone crazy trying to figure this out. I've got a lot of resources to use, spoke to so many people but I seem to have hit a deadend. I'm a complete beginner with all of this, I only use my laptop for Firefox, so I really don't know much about the ins & outs of anything else. I am hoping this makes sense to someone & can point me in the right direction of either where to go next or what I've done wrong (I can't emphasis enough how much of a beginner I am, so please make it easy to understand) Thank you in advance.
