I recently got a new computer, Apple iMac. I'm trying to transfer all my bookmarks I have on my older HP computer to the newer computer Apple. I downloaded the Firefox browser to the iMac. I see where there is a link to transfer bookmarks when I loaded the browser. But, when I click on the link, nothing really happens? There is no transfer of my bookmarks for my old computer to the newer computer. My OS with my older HP was Windows 7. My OS with my acquired Apple is Monterey. Can someone be of help with transferring bookmarks from one computer to another? I have many bookmarks so it would be very helpful to be able to make that transfer. Thank you.

I’ve been using Firefox on my Mac without any issues, but I recently had to erase and reset my Mac. After reinstalling Firefox and attempting to sign in to my account, I am unable to sync my data.

When I click “Sign in” and enter my password, I successfully log in. However, it immediately returns to the message “Please sign in to reconnect,” and I am unable to proceed with syncing.

This is the first time I’ve encountered this issue.

On a positive note, I can still see my organized bookmarks on Firefox for iPhone, which were synced from my Mac before the reset.

I have a 2012 MacBook Pro, still using maverick's … I tried to upgrade Mozilla and now it doesn’t work.

I am shy of what’s needed to run the latest Firefox version and I’m not able to buy a newer laptop, how can I get restated again with the version that will still work on my MacBook ?.

Multi-Account Tab is on longer loading. I uninstalled it, shutdown my computer, and restarted it, reloaded it back on. Unfortunately, it's still not working. I do have Tab Stash on my computer as well, and it not working either. I guess the two problems are related, but I thought I would start with Multi-Account because I didn't want to lose all my bookmarks.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how it fit this?

Thanks,

I got a password manager app but ended up uninstalling it. In the process, the normal insertion of my user name and password on accounts I use no longer happened. The information is still in my password file on my iMac, but when I access, for example, my bank, I have to enter my user name and password by hand. Before I tried the password manager (Roboform), there was no problem.

Hello, I have a MAC computer. For some reason, when FIREFOX made its newest update, I can no longer watch videos on YouTube. The video will start but then give me the death circle, and it will not come out of it unless I click just a slight distance away on the timeline of the video. Then, the video will go for about 20 seconds and do the same thing. I continually have to click on the timeline in front of where it stopped when the video stops, and then it will give me about 20 more seconds of the video before the white arrow circle shows up again. You can wait all day for the circle, but it will not start again unless you click on the timeline again ahead of where it froze.
