Firefox Support Forum

Hello,

I would like to set up different profiles for different purposes. I tried creating a new profile with the profile manager. When I opened the new profile in a new window, it asked me to sign in. After signing in, it synced all my bookmarks and settings from the default profile.

I then tried to edit the new profile by deleting the bookmarks that I don't need it to have. But this was then instantly synced to my default profile and I lost those bookmarks entirely.

So, I don't understand how to make separate profiles that have separate settings and bookmarks and whatnot. I would like to have different profiles that are all attached to the same account and can be used on multiple devices, but i don't want them to sync with one another. That seems to completely defeat the purpose of having multiple profiles (they all end up exactly the same).

I tried to get around this problem by creating an entirely new Firefox account, but then I get a message saying it will merge it's info with the account I just logged out of. This behavior makes no sense. Lets assume I have more than one user on a machine, and they each have their own account. If one logs off, and the other comes and logs in, now all their info gets lumped together?

I also tried to have two Firefox windows open, with one signed in and one not, but they mirror each other. So I can't work in multiple profiles or accounts on the same machine at the same time.

Back to the main question. I assume I am just using profiles wrong. How do I set it up so different profiles DO NOT sync with one another, but only with themselves across multiple devices.

Why doesn't Firefox load the images on the https://wvculture.org/ at the Vital Records tab in the Vital Research Records Search Selection of the Birth-Death-Marriage records? I have to open those on Microsoft Edge. I've tried closing all Add-ons in the Tools tab.

I appreciate the quick reply from your support staff yesterday. I followed instructions and was able to turn off the GIFs but FOR ONLY ONE TIME. As soon as I exited Firefox, or even the current page and returned to it they were back on. How do I keep them off permanently?

My muscle memory has me constantly clicking just slightly to the right of where the furthest right tab is. It feels weird stretching alllll the way right or alll the way left. I've tried both spots and it just feels unatural to me. Obvioulsy I'll get used to it after a while its just I'd like it to be back to where I'm used to it being.

Hi there, I have an old laptop which has FireFox installed on it with a lot of older Browsing History dated as far back as 2015 or 2016 which I've been attempting to transfer over to my newer Laptop's FireFox by synchronizing my FireFox account on both browsers. The bookmarks & tabs were synchronized between both, however, the browsing history from the older laptop doesn't transfer over to my newer laptop's Firefox.

I searched online for some troubleshooting, & discovered how to use about:config, where I found

1. "places.history.expiration.transient_current_max_pages'" &
2. "places.history.expiration.max_pages",

& for both I set the value to 999999. The result was the same.

I would like to inquire for assistance regarding this, if possible. Thank you!

After the last update to Firefox 105.0.1 My wallmart online account grocery ordering will not complete an EBT card transaction. Each time I submit my PIN the window changes to a walmart page and the transaction ceases and logs me out of walmart.

Walmart doesnt have an answer and the site works on other browsers. Like I said previously this just started I believe after the last update to Firefox 105.0.1

Went to update to 105.0.1 on a windows 8.1 machine. Update failed, removed previous version and now will not even reinstall running the installer. Installer returns setup.exe Application error. unable to start correctly.

The Aer LIngus website crashed earlier this month, but was reinstated shortly afterwards. But I am still unable to see it on Firefox, though have no problem on Opera. I get a message on Firefox: "To regain access, please make sure that cookies and JavaScript are enabled before reloading the page". But I didn't make make any changes to my Firefox settings so am at a loss. Help! Thanks.

Od dwóch dni program firefox nie ładuje na moim urządzeniu żadnych stron internetowych. Nie następuje żaden proces wczytywania, nie mam możliwości odświeżenia strony, cofnięcia ani przywrócenia, absolutnie żadna strona nie chcę się wczytać (nawet firefox.support).

Próbowałam każdej możliwej porady jaką znalazłam na waszej stornie. Wyczyściłam dane ciasteczek, dane witryn, odszukałam folder profilu i usunęłam plik parent.lock, sprawdziłam aktualizację, zaktualizowałam oprogramowanie w komputerze. Sprawdziłam w menadżeru zadań czy jakieś firefox nie działa w tle po zamknięciu, zamknęłam procesy w tle, potem ponownie uruchomiłam komputer i ciągle bez zmian. Znalazłam folder firefoxa i upewniłam się, że we właściwościach jest jako plik "tylko do odczytu" no i jeszcze dla pewności sprawdziłam poprawność konfiguracji daty, godziny i strefy czasowej w systemie operacyjnym, żeby sprawdzić czy przeglądarka nie ma problemów z weryfikacją.

Żadne z powyższych działań nie przyniosło najmniejszych efektów. Załączam screen obrazujący jedyne co wyświetla przeglądarka

Hello,

For about a week now, Facebook Messenger on desktop (on my profile page at facebook.com) will fail to load. If I click on "See all in Messenger" it will just load indefinitely and not redirect to the new page with all the messages.

I have not installed any new add-ons and Troubleshoot Mode has the exact same issue. A week ago everything was fine. It this a known issue with the latest update?

Is there something I can do?

Please don't tell me to reset firefox. Burning your house down for a minor inconvenience is not a solution. It's as unprofessional of an advice as all those "reinstall windows" tips for absolutely every singe issue. That's not advice, just lack of knowledge.

I want to have access to the site that I visited for years, this year firefox decided to restrict all public from this site which just because its in another country and just because the owner does not have his identity revealed does not mean is dangerous. I have to use a different browser to visit that website which is a threat to no one, that site provides cam views all over the world, yes its insecure, yes they can monitor this and that, but the public visits it to watch the cams not to put passwords or personal information in. 5 years I've been with them and now you (firefox want to block them to the public) why? cause they're not based in USA and you do not know their location? I guess I will be making a new video about this and joining hundreds of others who are loosing site access to many sites just because you (firefox) cannot read their details.

I have Firefox 105.0.1 on Windows 10 Pro and I cannot import Logins and Passwords from a file. Even with the signon property to TRUE, the passwords just don't populate. Is there something else I should be doing, or is there a fix for this. I have quite a few users to migrate and creating Firefox accounts to sync passwords is not preferable with users who need a lot of hand-holding. Thanks!
