No pages explain what sync really is. I would assume the data stored on firefox central for my account would be compared to the data (bookmarks in particualr) on the device and that the 2 lists are shared equally so both end up different from the start but the same as each other. Now I dont know and help pages do not discuss what sync actually does!

So my laptop went crazy today and the bookmarks listed suddenyl all point to totally different webpages, some of which I had visited recently but not bookmarked. It follows I have lost my bookmarks then. So I used sync, thinking it would restore my bookmarks correctly but it did not - it seems to have uploaded the new false bookmarks to Firefox, which in turn downloaded them to my other devices so, thanks to Firefox sync, I have effectively lost dozens of bookmarks across all my devices and I cannot find help which is useful.

Is there a way to restore those devices to the bookmarks stored yesterday?

4/7/2023 Good Afternoon,

Mary Pat's laptop has been having problems opening programs using Firefox. After several hours, I went to Uninstall. found the Refresh Firefox button. Used it and it seemed to work. Mary Pat went back to her computer and I came back to this computer. On my laptop I showed her how to Control Panel, Uninstall, Mozilla Firefox, Uninstall, Refresh Firefox. Now both computers are have the same intermittent problem. When I finish this question, I will try Firefox one more time. Any more Error messages opening websites including Google, Amazon, Dualingo, I will be changing to a different web browser until you can tell me you found the problem and have fixed the problem.

Sincerely, Tom McGuire [removed phone# and email from public forum]

Since the latest update of Firefox I have lost the zoom in and out buttons, the 'stick man' for street view and the options for Satellite etc. Also, if I select directions I get the detial but no indications on the map. These functions all appear to be avaialble via Microsft Edge, so i assume it must be a Firefox/Google maps interaction. Any help would be appreciated - Chris Platts

Hello, today I wanted to replace the "about:newtab" background with a picture.

I've already tried a lot like creating an extension, and adding the chrome folder with "userChrome.css" or "userContent.css" but I haven't had any luck whatsoever.

Could you help me in any way?

My preferred way would be through an extension to share it with my friends.

I already thank you in advance! :)

Best regards, Leon
