Firefox Support Forum

Hi!

I found from internet that updates should be stored in: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates

But I dont even have that folder but somehow firefox tells me to restart to install updates.

Since internet documentation seems to be outdated on this aspect I decided to ask here.

All of the sudden I cannot download mp3 files under the "save audio as" . It automatically tries to save it as a htm file. I have never had this issue before. I have downloaded many mp3s with no issues. Am I missing something here? It gives me no option to save it as a mp3, only as a htm

Hi,

Firefox updated to 101.0.1 and I miss all addons and my customized toolbar! During update I saw it created an "Old Firefox data" folder on my Desktop.

How to bring back the missing parts?

Thx!

Hello,

I use a 2019 Macbook Pro. While I was out of the country for a few months last winter, I left my computer behind and used my work laptop only. When I returned and performed a few updates to my Macbook, I noticed that each time I want to use Firefox (when restarting my computer), I have to download it and sign in (which also prompts a new sign-in email from Firefox). I never had this issue before on my computer or any prior computer, so I'm wondering if it's a basic fix to where I could use it each time I restart my computer without having to go through the process of downloading and signing in. It doesn't take much time, just an additional minute or so each time I want to sign in, which gets a bit annoying. Please let me know.

Thanks,

Dan

Hello!

I was just wondering if there was a way to disable the pop-up that appears to confirm the cancellation of an ongoing download ?

I tried searching in the about:config page but didn't find any parameter that looked like it could help me on that.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I need to export many profiles that are connected to my FFX account. these are the profiles found by going to "about:profiles". These do not restore on a new computer after signing in to a ffX account.

I have followed the steps outlined in this support article but it does not work, and I don't think applied to "about:profiles". https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles YouTube videos also do not appear to focus on importing the 'about:profiles'.

If someone knows how to do this, I would be very grateful.

Thank you Liam

I am trying to move Firefox to my wife's new computer. I have pulled the HD out of the old computer and have linked it to the computer I'm typing on via a USB port. On it, I can navigate to the Profiles directory but when I attempt to copy it to my HD on this computer, I get this error:

    0X80004005: Unspecified error

I've reviewed pages by searching on the error code but nothing comes up that is relevant. I've cleared permissions on the Profiles directory and all its files ... to no avail.

I'm stumped. Any suggestions?

I broke an old computer and have my logins from it on a backup drive in logins.json and key4.db. I can't work out how to transfer these logins to my new computer. I've tried creating a new firefox profile since I am nervous of losing logins that are on my new computer, but then I am totally lost.

Firefox updates use the term MSI, but never do you explain what that means. Come on guys step around the counter and act like a user. Not only what does it mean, but what are the differences between MSI and the download without MSI?

I was using Firefox and Owl (the addon).

I just upgraded to Fedora 36. I treid installing Owl and an alternative called "Dark Reader" and both cause a message stating they are corrupted.

I enabled dark mode in the browser. Google immediately changed to a dark background which I can more easily see. This site ignores the setting and is forcing me to work with very limited ivsion

I can barely make out the UI. I found what might be a solution at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1356233 but after hours trying to read it I gave up and am wirting here.

It is very frustrating that other sites respond to firefox settings and your support site does not.

Mozilla Firefox was automatically upgraded as I opened my computer. The new version started and the startup page was shown as if I had never used the Firefox browser on this computer before. I've been running Firefox on this computer for at least 6 years. All my saved data was gone. No bookmarks, no saved access accounts. When it asked me to migrate my data I didn't have the option to migrate any of my saved data from my previous version of Firefox. How do I get all my saved data back? I also received a message that one of my my gmail email account had been accessed by an unauthorized party. Is this also part of the installation process?

Please let me know what to do to get my saved data back.
