Firefox Community Forum

I recently bought an new HP Win 11 PC to replace my current Win 10 machine. Running latest FF 144.0.2 on both. How do I transfer my complete FF profile (bookmarks, bookmark bar, login data, EVERYTHING) to the new PC? Want the new install to be an exact functional copy.

THANKS!

Hello Firefox helpers!

I save my login details for various websites in Firefox version 144.0.2. Normally, I navigate to the login area of a website, and Firefox suggests the right username and password, and I just have to select the correct username.

For the past few days, I have had to enter my username and password manually to log in. The functionality for saving usernames and passwords is no longer working correctly.

In the settings dialogue some check boxes are greyed out. See attached screenshot.

What is wrong with my firefox?

Best regards Günter

i previously set up profiles using about:profiles, but with the new profiles feature i don't see any of them showing up. i haven't found any articles that allow me to convert the files from about:profiles to use the new one.

i am not logged in to firefox on the others either.

is there a way to link the profile files on my computer to save my bookmarks and history? i don't know if there will be continued support for these files and want to make sure my bookmarks are saved for all of them. i would prefer to stay logged out of the other profiles.

Attached images include screenshots of the empty profiles (one from clicking the profiles from dropdown, one from clicking "manage profiles", and one with blacked out personal data from going to about:profiles).

I frequently use the firefox pdf viewer and greatly appreciate it. However when I use the highlight tool the large popup is distracting and covers up some of the contents on the page. Is it possible to have the tool selected and use it without having the popup being constantly open. See attached image

Since downloading the New upgrade today I cannot access anything! TAb crashes everytime. Wish I could go back as have used firefox for years and will now have to find alternative. Have had use the dreaded chrome to post this!

Running Windows 11. Recently there is a small gear symbol on the Firefox icon in the Taskbar. I don't want it there and it's irritating as hell. Apparently it has something to do with profile. I don't care what it has to do with, I want it to go away. I went to about:config and set browser.profiles.enabled to false, but every time I restart Firefox, it apparently gets set to true again.

There is no reason for Firefox to have forced this visual change on users. How do I make the gear go away permanently? The gear goes or Firefox gets uninstalled and I'll go back to Chrome.

Trying to read PDF pages in Firefox. When I click on a file it says "You do not have OpenText Content Server Browser Web Extension 2.0.10 installed, or it is not enabled. Follow these instructions to install and enable the extension." I've looked in the extension add ons but cannot find the appropriate add-on and when I go to download from file, there are no files that would are appropriate either. Any suggestions? Also, I'm using a federal government laptop if that has anything to do with it.

Thanks guys for any help you can offer....

Mozilla recently did some updates to Firefox.

I have just started my computer and went to Firefox and then to bookmarks, but they all have gone.

Anybody have a similar situation and how did you resolve the problem so as to restore all of your bookmarks.

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

I've got a real curious problem. I'm a student at Berkeley City College. Firefox is my preferred browser. Sometime this semester, I stopped being able to access Google.com or any google subdomain sites like Google Calendar while using Firefox Desktop at school. Here's where it gets really weird. This only happens when I using firefox windows desktop while also being on the school network. If I switch to my phone tether network then I can access Google just fine. If I launch a different browser (that is not Firefox based) like Chrome, it works just fine. I tried accessing google using Waterfox on the campus network and encountered the same problem. I consider myself to be somewhat technically proficient but this is confounding me. How could the sites at a specific domain be blocked only while using a specific browser on a specific network???
