When I click on the "Search" bar, my designated search engines (including Google)show on a drop-down list.

No matter which engine I select, it doesn't open. None of the search engines will open. How do I get them online again? It seems to have happened after the last Mozilla update. Thank you.

A tab comes up every few minutes with " Harmony Web Protection Privacy Policy" I've checked the button " I AGREE" But it still keeps coming up, over and over. I did not ask for this extention, I did not want this extention, and I have and pay for a great security system for my computer. In the time that it took to type this the tab with "Harmony Web Protection Privacy Policy" has opened up twice. I have enjoyed Firefox for years, but maybe sometimes things don't need FIXED.

Hi everyone I'm trying to definitely restore my browser to start it from zero, since I'm leaving Edge to get back to firefox after some months. Problem is, everytime I try to restore setting, it automatically imports data (like history and bookmarks) and i must say it's NOT from another browser, but probably from my old profile. Saw a topic here saying i should disable some sync option, but this just doesn't work for me since I didn't even log into my profile. Firefox imports these data immediately when i click the restore button. Can someone help me on this?

Hi, as the title say, I would like to find a way, to trigger the Update the same way by command line as if it would be triggered by the automatic mechanism or the user in "about Firefox".

The reason is, that we´ve recently mass activated automatic updates and I would like to test on 100+ machines without relying on users action.

Thanks

How to chose from multiple saved accounts and passwords for basic auth?

I have my webserver "example.com" configured to ask for basic auth credentials on different paths, like "example.com/siteA" and "example.com/siteB". Login and username are different for "siteA" and "siteB".

Firefox will gladly save both sets of username and password when I type them in and login, but unlike with website login forms like Wordpress, there is no built-in way to select an account in this "native" login popup (see attached screenshot).

I could not find a way to edit my stored passwords to distinguish by path, it only stores the host/domain name "example.com".

Is there something I missed or is this currently not supported?

Well I was trying to pay my bills and I couldn't pay PGE as it says its not supported. Tehn I go to pay my Xfinity and Access Denied popped up.. What the hey is going on that these companies wont support Firefox? I hate Google. I've been paying my bill on the Firefox platform for years. This is frustrating. Are you able to help. The last time I was able to speak with a human who walked me through the back end and I'm sure we went to settings but I'm not that skilled.

i've been using JetInsight.com for more than 18 months. it is bookmarked. suddenly, it will not operate in firefox. it used to automatically log me in, now it asks for a login, but never even gets past that to ask for a passwork.

this website continues to work in chrome, safari and edge, on the same PC as well as my other devices (ipad, iphone) - but not with firefox. no other website, bookmarked or otherwise has this issue. i've cleared all cookies and history. nothing has fixed this.

what can i do?

The update which was released recently, 130.0 (64-bit) is causing issues across my company. Those who've installed it via the Microsoft Store or had an admin manually install it are unable to launch Firefox, with an "application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000022) pop up that appears several times when it is closed and Firefox never opens.

Under About Firefox, I see an error that it is "unable to check for update due to an internal error".


I've been able to get Firefox to install by completely removing it and installing with the EXE as an admin. However when I do I am unable to restore my user's Bookmarks from the JSON file as regardless where that file is, Firefox claims it does not have permission to access the file. The same occurs if attempting to upload a file, Firefox again claims a permissions error. Finally if you download a file, you cannot launch it from the Firefox toolbar, again because of permissions.

The files are in folders that all users have access to, I have confirmed that the user account, SYSTEM and Authenticated Users all have access to the folders the files reside in. I would upload screenshots, but as mentioned Firefox doesn't have permission to do so.

Thank you, Jeremy Hellstrom

I use Lastpass to manage my passwords. I have always accessed the Lastpass facility via the Lastpass Extension. However it's just stopped functioning (in the last week). I click on the extension (top right of my browser screen). It invites me to click on 'Vault'. But when I do, It takes me to an empty Lastpass page. (See screenshot, attached.) When I use this same approach using Google Chrome - no problem. So the problem seems to be with the Firefox platform.
