Is there anyway to reset your password without losing bookmarks and other personal data? My old computer crashed and I don't want to lose all that data. For some reason, my password isn't working.

I keep a lot of tabs open, and it's not that unusual to lose my session altogether and have to restore it. This time, though, it's not letting me.

A "Restore Session" tab came up that said the following:

"Sorry. We’re having trouble getting your pages back.

We are having trouble restoring your last browsing session. Select Restore Session to try again.

Still not able to restore your session? Sometimes a tab is causing the issue. View previous tabs, remove the checkmark from the tabs you don’t need to recover, and then restore."

I usually attempt to restore from the "History" dropdown menu at the top of the screen, and it usually works on the first try. But even when it doesn't, this screen appears and gives me the option of clicking on the bright blue "Restore Session" button, and that typically does it. This time, though, the blue "Restore Session" button is much more muted in color and not responsive to clicks.

Do you have any ideas? Like I say, I keep a LOT of tabs open, and most of them serve as reminders to take care of something or other, so I really need to reopen all tabs from that previous session so I don't lose those reminders. Thanks!

Macbook Air M2. Updated firefox, updated OS.

So, I have a firefox tab open. When I set "Full Screen" in "View" setting, I still have the tabs and url bar shown. I want to be able to remove the tabs, url bar, and mac toolbar from the screen while on a firefox tab. How do I do this? "Full Screen" in "View" only removes the mac toolbar. If I remember correctly, my windows 10 computer just has to press F11 to go fullscreen and remove the tabs and url bar as well (or is that google chrome?).

Lately I cannot explore Airbnb, I get "Network error (connection): NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource.". No problem with Edge. Should I forget about Firefox?

I contributed (paid) for the extension to capture streaming browser screen and audio to .mp4 which worked very well until my PC crashed so I had to re-download and install Firefox - now I can't capture streaming browser screen and audio to .mp4. How do I get that capability back? Thank you!

I have several months of my google calendar which displays no events. I have turned off all of my add on's, cleared my data, cache and cookies. Still happening.

Works fine on my firefox for android, works fine in brave and edge, just firefox pc browser doesn't work right.

The scrolling speed in Bookmarks folders when hovering over top or bottom of list is too fast. When trying to drag a new bookmark to a Sub-folder in the Bookmarks Toolbar, and you need to scroll down in the list of folders, you hover over the bottom of the displayed drop-down. But it scrolls so fast that you go past the folder you are trying to drag n drop the new bookmark into. So you hover over the top of the list and it scrolls up so fast that again, you go past the folder you are looking for. Is there any way to control this scrolling speed? It's my only gripe about the BEST BROWSER. I have thousands of Bookmarks and hundreds of Folders. PLEASE HELP Thanks Regards

Using Firefox 108.0.2 on Win11. Need to change Secondary Email on my Firefox account. There is no apparent facility for changing much less adding an email on my Settings | Profile page. Both of the following:

  https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-primary-email-address-firefox-accounts
  https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-secondary-email-address-firefox-accounts

Say to "Click the 'ADD...' button next to the email address. There IS NO 'ADD...' button next to either email address. I need to change my secondary email address.

Back when I used Chrome, there used to be an option when you could right-click a word and get an option in the context menu to "look up". In Firefox this doesn't seem to be the case. Is there a way to enable this? For those of you who don't know what feature I'm talking about, here's Apple's write up: https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/look-up-words-mchl3983326c/10.14/mac/10.14

I've also included screenshots of the feature working in Chrome.

In my 'Settings' it says: "Your browser is being managed by your organization." What??? What organization? How can I find out who this is? and how can I get rid of this 'managing organization'? I want to clear this statement from my account.

Hi firefox team

I think better to add sleeping tabs option-like edge browser-to saving resources of system. saving system of chrome is not ok. because offloading tabs. but, edge don't offload and its faster!

thank you all for creating best experience browsing. and sorry for my bad English grammar :)
