I have 3 devices connected to Mozilla account, 2 smartphones and 1 PC and NONE of them are syncing properly, bookmarks sync perfectly and everything else fails miserably. Some part of history does sync but nowhere near the full history. Syncing of open tabs is *completely* broken.

Hello all...

This is driving me crazy. I have the latest version Firefox 145 installed, however, this morning I discovered that while trying to log in to various banks for my credit cards, I've been getting "inability to login" messages, or a blank page comes up. Even when I try to change passwords (which I really didn't need to do), I keep getting denied.

I cleared all of my cache, but that does no good whatsoever. This the worst set of bugs with Firefox that I've ever experienced.

Yet, when I use Microsoft Edge to log into all of those sites, there are NO issues whatsoever.

What gives here - what went wrong?

Tonight I was roaming around my Firefox settings looking at something else, when I noticed this AI piece pre-checked. Why is FIREFOX, who is supposed to be for privacy and security, authorizing an update that automatically choose AI? Not cool Mozilla. Not Cool. Anyone else have this? and yes, I've already fixed it ;-)

I am having trouble accessing The Washington Times with Firefox. Every time I click on a story, it comes up, but then immediately the screen shades out to a gray screen, and nothing works. Also, if I open The Times website and click on sign-in for my account, nothing happens. If I go directly to the Times website and try ti sign in, the screen greys out again. This just started happening yesterday. If I go to a laptop with an earlier version of Firefox on it, all works just fine. Also, if I access the Washington Times with Microsoft Edge, it works just fine. Would appreciate it if I could get some help here.

I have been using old-style profiles for a long time, but they didn't work so well for me. The new profiles system was great - specifically that each one was a FF instance that could be opened and quit independently of any others (and most importantly had a different icon). I setup 5 or 6.

But i quit all my FFs due to memory issues. Then after restarting a FF, it was an instance from the old profiles system and there was no profiles item in main menu (under three horiz lines top-right).

Going to about:profiles didn't show them (as expected).

I started from command-line to launch FF with Profile Manager and after selecting a profile that way, then there now a Profiles menu item. However it empty.

I had a look and there is a ` ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profile Groups` that contains a number of sqlite files and each has a -shm and -wal file also. I looked in the profiles table for each of these. 1 lists all the new profiles I created and one points to default old-style Profile instance that opens (ie. Profiles/Main-Firefox-Window).

about:config - browser.profiles.enabled is true

I also noticed a browser.profiles.forceEnableRefresh but it appears to be undocumented.

My question: HOW can I restore my new profiles? I put some work into icons etc.. and of course their history, so i don't want to have to recreate them.

Firefox was somehow reset after windows update restart. I was trying to sign in to sync, but sign in button gets blurred/disabled, and nothing happens then. I am afraid that I lost my previous session also.

I was trying troubleshooting mode too, but behavior is the same.

Otherwise I can login to my Firefox account web, and I am logged in on my smart phone still.
