Firefox Support Forum

My firefox did an update today and I can not view many websites in my bookmarks. I tried to manually go to a website and still get the same error show below. An error occurred during a connection to www.newsmax.com. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR Some websites I can view and others not. I did not have this problem till todays update. I also can not view non HTTPS websites. Basically all is not well.

Suggestions.

On my old Desktop with Windows10, I created and saved my bookmarks as backup *.json file on my backup drive. How do I copy this backup to Firefox on my new Desktop with Windows11? When I installed Firefox on my new Desktop, I don't see any way to access bookmarks (because I haven't copied the *.ison file??)

Today firefox prompted me to "refresh" itself. After doing so, the icon is now blank and won't open saying it's damaged or incomplete. I restarted my mac to see if it might come back, but I continue to get the same error message that firefox is damaged or incomplete.

I downloaded firefox again, but didn't replace the original one on my computer and while it works. I've lost ALL my bookmarks. I waded through ways to get them back but don't believe I ever made a manual copy of my bookmarks.

Is there any way to restore them? I hadn't used a firefox account before either but just made one today.

Thanks

Struggling with bookmarks

Worked flawlessly until .0.1 update. Now when I pinch out (or in) nothing happens. I checked about:config for pinch and all the settings seem to be properly in place.

I reinstalled Firefox and made sure that I had unticked the data and history boxes, and declined the search suggestions. Nevertheless, the first attempt at entering a search immediately called up millions of the things. At Chrome, I have learned a sequence of eight clicks, whereby I can, for just that one search, avoid those hideous suggestions. If I could have a no-click option at Firefox, I would stay here. Otherwise, can you tell me how to uninst... no, I can first have another look in Windows settings. Looked through the C drive, but I recall now there is an "uninstall programs" facility in Windows. So, if you are able to tell me how to switch off the suggestions, I will stay at Fireofox. If not, I won't. I can remember a Google (or Chrome) person talking on TV, about 15 yrs ago, about this new thing they had (search suggestions) that everyone would love. Four or five seconds into his talk, I knew that I hated it, and have never moved a millimeter away from that position.

i have had to reformat my imac and reload firefox how do i use the search box in the centre of my home page and not the one in the tool bar. every time i type in the box it transfers to the tool bar. my home page search box has no arrow or spy glass at the end of it how do i get it to work again

Attachments in Yahoo mail are from todays FF update, not showing and pages for past few weeks have just been hanging? Windows 10, the reply from Yahoo, switch browser. Been using FF for years and really dont want to learn a new system!

hi, have downloaded installer file several times with Firefox and i end up always needing to download from another browser to get it to work. The installer this specific time is xampp for windows. The download works well, the file goes to the right folder, but when i click on the installer, it leads to a new browser window (see pic1) and no matter what option i choose it never performs the installation. in the pic 2, u can see the applications options. I am really trying to give a shot at firefox but i always end up having to use another browser :-/. Thanks a lot for any help

When I download a file with several "." in name on the save box uses one of the words as extension instead of the real file extension.

Example:

When downloading the file "The.Talk.S12E187.720p.WEB.h264-DiRT.torrent" on the save box appears "The.Talk.S12E187.720p.WEB" with the extension "h264-DiRT" (Pic 1) I have to manualy change the extension type and name (Pic 2)

Tested in other broswers and work correctely.

Can you help ?

Hi, My two questions don't apply to the same situation, but each could be solved with one solution.

The first question concerns a situation when something breaks & a quick restore & resume is wanted. The second question is about how to abbreviate setting up a new portable Firefox browser.

Firefox Portable 102.01 Portable from PortableApps.com 1.) Can browser settings be backed up to a file and restored? 2.) Is there away to setup a Firefox Portable config by executing some type of file that isn't overly complicated?

Lately, I find myself playing around with multiple instances of Firefox portable and redoing the config is tiresome. I looked for were the settings might be contained, but there might be more than one place depending on the setting.

Thanks for your time and consideration!

After receiving the Firefox update yesterday I can no longer get Youtube TV to work. The main site loads, along with video streaming in the main window of suggested channels, but when I select a given channel, the video won't load and the icon spins, only to return an error message after a few seconds.

Have cleared cookies and cache, restarted Firefox and my Win 10 machine. Works fine in Chrome and all other non-Windows devices. Any thoughts on what can be done? TIA.

I lost my bookmarks when I updated - I have a file on my desktop that is labeled old Firefox data. Nothing I can find explains how to get the old data file back into the new version. Some articles do talk about how to restore lost bookmarks but they all assume I can "see" the old files if I click on the restore tab in bookmarks. That will show me the Old Firefox Data folder, but when I open it none of the file folders appear to contain the HTML data needed.

I am 76 years old and not terribly computer literate. I need rudimentary explanations to solve my problem.

Failing that, can I just go back to my old version that worked?

Thanks,

When I try to log in to My Go Daddy account I get a message that says: Try disabling ad blockers and other extensions, enabling javascript, or using a different web browser. This has been going on for months.

Hi,

I am using an a simple code software to create business quotations at my work.

When I enter the data the end result shows "US$" instead "$".

I have checked all my W10 language, region, etc settings. Everything is in Canadian English.

All my co-workers get it correctly in "$".

I tried by using Internet Explorer and it correctly showed me "$".

That is how I am assuming it is a Firefox issue. Firefox language is also set as "Canadian English".

Any suggestions?

Thank you.

I am running Windows 11 Build 25151 on a Lenovo X1 Carbon Gen 7. With the last several Builds when selecting an option from a pop-up the FireFox window just stops for up to several minutes, no error message. In other cases cannot select an option necessary continue. In several cases the continue button at the bottom of the popup is not available. I am running FireFox 102.0.1 (64 bit). In most cases, copy address from FF to Microsoft Edge, edge is able to continue.

Not sure if a FireFox or Windows problem.

Hi, I've been having a problem with my account for a while now. After I format my computer Mozilla is not working for me even though I have downloaded the latest version. The main problem is that I can't change the language and I can't add an extension. Please help.
