Today I unistalled firefox on my windows laptop and then installed it again. Now my saved passwords are gone.

1. can I get them back? 2. if I can't - will the passwords be erased on all firefox servers so that no one can access the information? I hope so...

Thanks for you assistance

I take this to be a best practice to not use more than one vpn at a time. Should those visiting and be given access to network be asked to turn off theirs if connected to same network setup? Should any extensions intended to sync favorites or 'read later' be turns off as well?

Frozen Cursor / Mouse in Firefox Browser

I am regularly experiencing a frozen cursor when using the Firefox browser. My USB wired mouse stops working, however my laptop touch pad still responds perfectly fine.

I am certain it is related specifically to using the program, and does not occur on my desktop or in other internet browsers.

After opening the browser and loading a webpage, the cursor is often delayed in responding to moving the mouse or stops responding altogether for several moments at a time.

I have tried disabling all add-ons, extensions, and plugins. The problem still occurs when in 'safe mode' or 'troubleshooting mode'.

Please help! This is making the browser impossible to use, and I would prefer not to have to switch to a different browser.

I have been using the coderanch.com website for more than a decade and most of the postings include listings of source code which I was (past tense) able to cut a paste into my own development environment. With the latest version (107) of Firefox this has broken, the document now gets numerous non-printable characters (decimal 160) for the leading indents of the code. I'm assuming they are being somehow substituted for the tab character.

Here's an example

https://coderanch.com/t/755856/certification/Questions-errata-Sybex-OCP-Study

I went back to version 105 and the problem went away. Also Chrome does not have this problem.

Please fix soon as it is impacting my ability to help others on the coderanch site.

I just posted a question re: my pull-down bookmarks menu disappearing. I stated in the question that my bookmarks themselves weren't gone, just the menu. I stand corrected. They are indeed "gone", i.e. completely inaccessible.

Recently (and during the writing of this) i have experienced typing lag in Firefox. My input gets processed and handled, but it takes a little while, sometimes up to a few seconds, for the text to appear or the changes to occur (think of sending messages). I am currently on Firefox version 106.0.5, and have tried doing a safe restart ("Troubleshoot mode"), but the problems persevered. I have tried clearning cookies, cache, browser and login history, but the problems persevered. I am also not using the windows cursor text color highlighting, which was submitted as a solution to a similar problem a year ago. Thank you if you can help!

So for my main gmail I have 2 step for obvious security reasons, but I want it to trust my PC so that I don't have to pull out my phone every time I try to access it. No matter how many times I click the option to trust this PC it always ask' for the 2 step, and I don't see the PC on the trusted list in my gmail settings. I have already added "mail.google.com" to the exceptions part of the cookie and site data settings, even "account.google.com" but it just doesn't seem to work. What is the obvious thing that I am missing?

2 step authentication does not get saved that i have to enter a code every time when i log in. it should have been secure for then next 30 days as the check box selected. it seems it's a big issue for so many users that i found no solution. this issue is so bad and it easily is one of the reasons they are skipping this browser.

I can't log in at https://addons.mozilla.org

It input my mail and password, wait for a loading screen and then I get a yellow box with the message "You have been logged out."

No matter how many times I try, I always get the same message. I can log in with my main account, but not with this one, which is the one where I have an add-on I'd like to update.

When I try to open Facebook on Firefox 106.0.5 (64-bit) I get a dark gray background (My choice to run Facebook in dark mode) the blue "F" on the left, a lighter gray bar than the main panel across the top from the blue F and then three lighter gray circles which, were Facebook to have completely opened, would hold my profile picture, Messenger and Notifications. Except for those "hints" of Facebook, the screen is empty. See attached screenshot. I have not had any problems accessing any other sites with Firefox. It is just Facebook. I can get into Facebook on Safari. This has been going on for about 3 days now. Thank you to whomever is reading this and might be able to help me.

When I reply to emails, either reply, or reply all, I prefer to see all the email addresses from the email header that the original email was sent to. This is the default on most email systems I've used. I think it was the default on Firefox until recently.

Now, when I do a reply, or reply all, the message now starts with the original email, without the email headers. I understand some people may prefer that, but I definitely don't like it. It can be useful to see who the original email had been sent to, especially if there are errors in that list of people, or the people included are fewer or more than the previous email.

Note, if I forward the email, the email does contain the email addresses from the original email header.

This behaviour caused me some real grief when I realised some people had made a mistake when sending me an email recently.

Is there a setting to adjust this?

Regards
