I've installed Firefox on a new device and I'm having trouble having Firefox sync its bookmarks with my main system [on my win10/pc]. I have logged in and it has no bookmarks. when I open bookmarks is [correctly -- as it did in the past] shows "bookmarks menu", "bookmarks toolbar" and "other bookmarks". None of them has any bookmarks in them. What am I forgetting about having FF sync its bookmarks? thanks

No matter what type, size or source of file I try to download, the download invariably fails withn 30 seconds of starting. Once it fails, retrying the download gets me another piece of the file until the download fails again. To get the file to completion, I have to retry numerous times until it gets to the end. If I have multiple files downloading simulteneouly, that requires dedicated man-management to ensure all of them are fully saved.

Having to accompany any download like that is highly annoying and takes time and attenition away performing other tasks in my browsing session. On the same Windows 10 PC, I do not encounter similar issues using other browsers to try to download the same file - it's a one-click, fire-ans-forget process there. I even recently reset my Windows installation and then reinstalled a fresh copy of Firefox (my favourite browser to use) but this annoying issue persists.

Can anyone help?

In troubleshooting another issue, I discovered that running Firefox without hardware acceleration occasionally results in very weird text corruption and video stuttering. I was able to capture some screenshots of the issue, which I have attached. The text is still selectable and copy/pasting it to a document will show the proper text. Closing PIP windows helps the stuttering a bit. Issue persisted when a single tab of Firefox was the only non-background program running.

I have turned hardware accel. back on and haven't experienced the issue since. Just thought I ought to post in case someone else had this issue too.

Greetings,

My sign in keeps going in circles. I followed the instructions the site requested, with no resolution. I still cannot get to my Pocket articles. I did the following: I signed out of pocket, I went to the login page, I attempted to log into pocket, which did not work, I logged into Firefox, I did not see "Continue to Firefox to login to pocket" I just keep going in login circles with email authentications and authentication requests. What is going on?

Thanks, Aaron

So I'm trying to remove my firefox data such as my bookmarks and saved log ins from a work computer because I retired. I signed out of firefox on the computer. I uninstalled it on this computer and then reinstalled and it's still showing the information even after logging out and restarting computer. I also deactivated the computer from my list of devices on my firefox account and that still did not remove the data. Can you please assist me in this removal of my firefox information from this computer.

Thank you, Cherie

To save and sync a new password, I put my email in and hit "Sign up or Sign in" - but then it tells me are you sure you want to create this account, because a previous user was in sync on this computer: and it's my same email. If I say yes and continue, it is asking to set a password and create an account. What happened to just signing in? Why did it stop me from doing so and reroute me like this? I'm in same browser and user platform as always on this device. Big snafu for no reason. BTW I signed in now with a different account to Support because I have to sign in to ask the question.

My computer crashed and I had to reset my account. For some reason the password that I was 99% sure was correct didn't work so in order to change my password it said I need an authentication key. I didn't recall getting one of those so I reset my password (even though it said on the screen I would only lose things like passwords and history). I of course lost all my bookmarks that I've been collecting for the last 20 years. And as life goes I've now found the authentication key. My question is can I get anything back now that I have that key or all my bookmarks are forever deleted?

This is my first time to write and ask a ?I will be grateful if anyone can help me solve it. I signed up for the Free Relay of email just to try it out. My primary email was there and I added my secondary email --them I noticed there was what looks like a strange email already there. In conjunction with this i got a warning from Firefox today that somebody from Romania had tried to change my password.

Any Ideas I would appreciate them.

Thanks paul
