I changed my email address in firefox settings a while ago, had no problems since. But recently wanted to use firefox portable. What happens is, i log in with my (new) email, I get sent an authentication code to the new email, i type it in, then it tries to login with my old email and obviously fails (Incorrect password)

I've also tried using a linux laptop, and i can't login with it either, but it works fine on android and windows. If i try it too many times my account locks, don't know what to do

I've tried going in safe mode, turning of my Facebook container. Deleting cache. Signing out of Facebook. Also adjusting the backspace key in my Config. Having no problems on my Android phone or when using Opera. It's on on Firefox and on Facebook.

FACEBOOK screen suddenly moves to the bottom of the screen when I am typing a comment. Whenever I hit SHIFT+alpha_letter at the beginning of a line OR simply hit the backspace key, the screen suddenly shifts to the very bottom of the page again even if I have tried to scroll the page back up to the middle of the screen manually. This shifts the entry area where I'm typing down and sometimes off of the visible screen entirely. Just hitting the backspace to correct a typo causes the screen to scroll on its own. I have to scroll back down to the entry box and if I make another typo, it happens again. 

Please help. Been going on for over two weeks. I was hoping the new Firefox update yesterday would help. Nope. Still happening.

I have used Firefox on this Windows 10 desktop computer for at least 6 months with no problems. I have it set as my default browser.

When I say it "does not start" I mean the hourglass is shown for a few seconds, then nothing. Task Manager does not show Firefox running.

Since about 5 days ago it will not start when I click its icon on my taskbar or when I click on a link in an email. Both of these used to work. I have also typed Firefox into the Windows search box and clicked the icon then shown, but it does not start.

I have googled the problem and tried a number of things, such as re-installing.

When I do Windows-button & R to get the Run box, enter “firefox.exe -P” and click OK, the profile program does not start.

When I run "Firefox Installer.exe" it goes through process and ends with Firefox open. That is how I was able to get in to get the Troubleshooting Information. However, I do not want to start it this way all the time, and it would not work on links in emails.

I could not find how to add Tags.

Thanks.

How to remove updates firefox 97.0.1 but don't know if this will fix as problem only exists on my GMAIL EMAIL ACCOUNTS. SEE SCREENSHOT. email inbox content not visible they are blank

All my emails are blank. They have s header and who they are from but no text just a blank screen. This is the same for sent and recieved messaged. Really do not know how to fix this

Having the same issue, All emails received on all the email accounts I have on this device (including work email), are blank.. In addition, mails from every other day are also blank.

Only shows sender information, subject, attachment.

If I try to RESPOND or REPLY to email, I can click the three dots below reply and finally see content. Otherwise screen is blank, except for header and subject!!!!

It may have happened upon UPDATES installed 18Feb2022 for firefox 97.0.1 and I woud like to remove but don't see how to anywhere.

I decided to update Firefox around January. It forced what is essentially night-mode on all of my websites (Youtube, Bank sites, google, etc), as seen with the pictures attached. I grabbed the white-backround firefox image from google, and edited in my theme to show what it used to look like. Obviously I didn't want this. In addition, that update essentially wiped all of my saved passwords and information on all of the sites I visit.

Well, knowing I had nothing to loose, I reverted to an earlier firefox update (95.0 I believe) and reinstalled my theme, and begain resaving my passwords. This fixed the issue of having Night-mode on all of my websites. Long behold, another update happened which I did not want and now I'm back to square one.

I assume it's because of the theme I'm using. Here but, I really like the theme and I've been using it for years.

Is there any way to fix the annoying night-mode type of backround? I'm perfectly fine with reverting the updates, but I'd like some way to transfer all of the passwords I have already saved again when I do it. I am also open to making my own theme that doesn't force me to use Night Mode, but I wouldn't even know where to begin. Thanks for any help.
