I just got this new computer and want to transfer my FireFox bookmarks and history to it. I cannot access my old account because I do not have access to that email anymore, and you require me to get a code sent to that email to log in. That is still on my old computer that was originally running Windows 8, and has been deteriorating ever since Microsoft jammed Windows 10 down it's throat.

I might still be able to export the bookmarks if there is some way to do that.

The best way would be if I could access to that old account without needing to access bonin006@umn.edu my current email is wayne@nano-dyne.com

Please see if there is a way to help me.

Thanks, Wayne Bonin

Hi everyone,

I run an online barber supply store called Magnus Supply (https://magnussupply.com/) where we offer a variety of products including clippers, trimmers, shavers, grooming products, accessories, and sanitation supplies. I'm always looking for ways to improve the user experience on our website and streamline our e-commerce operations.

Can anyone recommend browser extensions that could help with:

Enhancing website performance and speed. Improving user engagement and retention. Simplifying the checkout process. Better tracking and analyzing customer behavior. Ensuring data security and privacy for our customers. I’m particularly interested in extensions that work well with Firefox, but suggestions for other browsers are also welcome. Your insights and experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance!

How to downgrade a Firefox install on old iMac (late 2009) when I can't open browser?

Hi, the turbotax website forced me to update Firefox and since I did, I am no longer able to open the browser at all. The error message reads, "You can't use this version of the application "Firefox" with this version of OS X. You have OS X 10.11.6. The application requires OS X 10.12 or later." Unfortunately, from what I have read, I can't get that update that on my iMac (21.5inch, late 2009) OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.6. Is there any way to downgrade the Firefox install? I can't even see what previous version of Firefox I had before because I can't open the browser anymore. If anyone can help I would be super grateful. Thanks in advance!

I had the situation maybe a year ago. I use the Firefox profile manager.

I just updated to 127.02, and now not I'm getting this because for whatever reason, since the update, I am somehow on the beta channel, but only with this profile. I just opened two other profiles, and neither is on the beta channel, although i don't know what "Firefox is being updated by another instance" means.

I don't know if it's just a coincidence, but I'm also just noticing that a number of my addons settings have reverted to default.

I installed a dev version of Firefox to test a plugin.

Then I uninstalled the dev version, but now none of my profiles on the regular version work...

Please help me, I really need my old browser history and cookies.

When I try to use one of my old profiles, I get "You've launched an older version of Firefox" and it tells me to either Create New Profile or Exit.

I read online that people add "-allow-downgrade" to the Windows shortcut, but this does nothing for me.


Thanks you and please help!

I transferred by Firefox bookmarks from my old computer to my new Windows 11 computer. I think they transferred fine. But to access them, I have to click on Bookmarks and then go down to Manage bookmarks and click on it. Then I see them on the page that has all the Import and Backup access on it. How do I get them to appear in the side panel as a list like they did on my old computer?

"Firefox needs to download font…" sudden request that didn‘t let me skip

Hi, I‘m not sure if I selected the right topic for my question but I can‘t find an answer to my query anywhere, so here goes:

When I opened Firefox on my Mac today (all up-to-date), a pop-up request by Firefox (cf. attached picture) showed up: "Firefox needs to download the font "Weibei SC". "Weibei SC" is 17,4 MB." with the options "Skip" and "Download".

Puzzled by this odd request, I wanted to skip it, but anytime I clicked skip the window would pop up again. I never clicked on download and I actually closed and reopened the browser, without having it show up again. I even restarted my device and reopened Firefox but it didn‘t show up again.

Now, I want ro believe that there is nothing to worry about, that it was a software blunder of some sort and that maybe normally it just installs fonts in the background without me knowing. But for the sake of my own peace of mind, I‘d feel more comfortable if someone who knows the software better than I do, explain to me what this was or might have been, and hopefully that it was nothing harmful.

Thank you!

Hi,

My computer was on during the week-end and when I came back home I noticed we had a couple of power outages. Computer restarted automatically (Win 10 22h2) and when I launched Firefox, it started as brand new with all my addons gone and none of the previous session restored (I had 4 Firefox browsers opened with each 20+ tabs opened).

I have tried looking at C:\Users\MYUSER\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles but found nothing of interest. Where is everything and how can I restore everything I had ?

I even tried Troubleshooting mode and downgrading to a former version of Firefox (126.0.1 64 bits).

Thanks,
