Firefox Support Forum

duplicate of /questions/1432044 thread.

I uninstalled Firefox which I had used for years because when I tried to open it it said the file was corrupted and unreadable. I installed firefox today but it didn't import my bookmarks. I use windows 10

I am seeing a generic icon appearing instead of Firefox logo post installation on Mac.

I have created the following script to automate downloading the latest FF version for Mac

1. !/bin/bash

1. Function to get the latest download URL for Firefox Community

get_latest_Firefox_url() {

   # Replace the following line with a command or script to fetch the latest download URL
   # For example, you might use curl or wget to get the download link from the Firefox website
   # Example: LATEST_URL=$(curl -s https://example.com/Firefox-latest-url)
   LATEST_URL="https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-latest-ssl&os=osx&lang=en-US&_gl=1*1mxslk8*_ga*NzMzNzU0NDM3LjE2OTY5MTIyMzY.*_ga_MQ7767QQQW*MTY5NjkxMjIzNi4xLjEuMTY5NjkxMjI3MS4wLjAuMA.."
   echo "$LATEST_URL"

}

1. Function to download and install the latest version of Firefox Community

install_Firefox() {

   # Get the latest download URL
   Firefox_URL=$(get_latest_Firefox_url)

   # Download the latest version
   curl -L -o "/tmp/Firefox-latest.dmg" "$Firefox_URL"

   # Mount the downloaded DMG file
   hdiutil attach "/tmp/Firefox-latest.dmg"

   # Find the .app file inside the mounted DMG
   Firefox_APP=$(find /Volumes -name "Firefox.app" -type d)

   # Install Firefox from the mounted DMG
   cp -R "$Firefox_APP" /Applications/

   # Unmount the DMG
   hdiutil detach "/Volumes/Firefox" -force

   # Cleanup the temporary files
   rm "/tmp/Firefox-latest.dmg"

   echo "Firefox has been installed successfully!"

}

1. Run the installation function

install_Firefox

This is using the "Try downloading again." URL ==> https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-latest-ssl&os=osx&lang=en-US&_gl=1*aoew3g*_ga*NzMzNzU0NDM3LjE2OTY5MTIyMzY.*_ga_MQ7767QQQW*MTY5NjkxMjIzNi4xLjEuMTY5NjkxNDE1OS4wLjAuMA..

What could be the problem?

I am using Jamf PRO to deploy this in a Jamf policy.

Please help!

Thank you, Dave

My old Linux computer died and I have removed the still good SSD from it. I have installed the latest Firefox on my new computer and would like to restore the bookmarks and other saved data to the new computer.

I am running Ubuntu 20.04, the old computer was on Ubuntu 18.04.

Can these things be restored, and if so what do I need to do?

to upgrade my firefox browser from 32 bit to 64 bit, I was following the mozilla instructions to download the 64 bit version, but then uninstall the 32 bit version before installing the 64 bit version. However, using the microsoft store to obtain the 64 bit version, it didn't just download it, it installed the 64 bit version. Now I have both. Should I merely remove 32 bit, and my profile file will be accessed to complete the set up of the 64 bit version? Don't want to loose bookmarks, passwords, etc. by removing 32 bit version.

I was using firefox by downloading it from the website and it was working fine. Then I try searching it in the MS Store to see if updates are possible from there or not and mistakenly downloaded it again. But I cannot see any desktop icon of Firefox other than the one I was previously using. If I go to the MS Store and try opening the app from there then a brand new Firefox opens which I simply cannot delete. I have even went to the Control Pannel to find out if there's another Firefox but there isn't. I am kinda worried as Firefox is my primary browser and I use it for literally every internet related activity. So please help me in uninstalling this second Firefox program which is unwanted here.

i just bought my pc with windows10, i installed windows11 ok, but started having problems keeping firefox as my default browser, msn outlook would pop up after i signed into msn calendar app, ended up resetting my computer and mistakenly uninstalled windows11 in the process, i seem to be compounding my problems as i go, im now confused and i need someone to connect to my computer and fix for me, if someone can do this i would be relieved, please let me know if anyone can help..

I'm trying to move my profile from an "old" laptop to a "new" laptop. I've copied the profile and put the files under a new profile which I generated with the profile manager on the "new" laptop. When I try to start firefox on the "new" laptop I get the Error Message "... your using old version ... this might corrupt your current data ... please create new profile" When I create a new profile (see above) I'm in a circle (catch 22 ;-))) When I click "close" no firefox opens.

"old" laptop runs Version 94.0.1 "new" laptop runs Version 93.0

I inadvertently (Stupidly!) deleted all web browsers on my spare computer. I re-installed Firefox on that computer but still cannot get web access. What can I do?

What is the minimum set of files that I can recreate a FF user profile from?

For example, the official docs say to backup/migrate a user profile by copying the whole directory, but the I'm not interested in the `Crash Reports/` directory, history or any session information.

Based on a post I saw some time ago about Thunderbird user profiles, I would expect that only a few files are actually needed (off the top of my head from the TB example, possibly `cert9.db`, `extensions.json` and `prefs.js`), but I can't find the post again now to double-check and I'm not sure how well it would apply to FF.

So, what files do I need to copy over to a new user profile to retain my:

1. extensions and their preferences
2. Firefox preferences
3. bookmarks

Cannot get rented/paid Youtube or Netflix video to run. Message "! Sorry, there was an error licensing this video" pops up onYoutube screen every time when hitting play button. "Free" Youtube videos work just fine, paid content gets this message. Have firefox-9.5.0.2.ta.bz2, use Linux updated software. Followed all previous suggested Support, cannot seem to find fixes that included DRM, Safemode switch, etc. Thanks for previous help, still stuck... anymore ideas appreciated. Also, difference between running "normal and beta", please explain, and how to know "differences?"
