Firefox Support Forum

Before COVID, I would travel about once a year. I would just copy the profile from my office email machine to my laptop, set the desktop computer to stop downloading emails (the laptop was always set to leave them on the server), and go traveling. When I returned and turned my regular email machine back on, turn the "leave on server" off, and download all the emails to it.

The COVID break from traveling meant that some file formats had changed. When I tried to load the v78 profile from my desktop to v68 on the laptop, I got a lot of errors, and went on to do other chores. Now I've come back to this issue and decided to just load v 102 to my laptop. I want to be able to load all those emails and the address book. Does v 102 read earlier versions of files, and which ones? I have a large volume of emails that I want to load, review, and then archive about 99% of them. I really need to retrieve the address books, get rid of duplicates and dead addresses, and then save about 85% of them a vcards before deleting them from the address book.

It would really help to have a list of the files that changed with each version, so that we can see what files we need to look for.

I'm hoping that 102 will convert all previous formats, and if not, I can have a list so I can migrate these v 68 files to 102 when it imports them.

Hi all-

I've recently switched to firefox and my only complaint is that Youtube does not appear to be functioning it well. Frequently videos will just never load, remaining a black screen with the circle spinning. The rest of the page loads, but not the video itself. I've left one of these pages open for four hours and it did not load at all during that time.

Once I had a video that was playing just fine, and I accidentally hit another video on the side of the screen. When I went back to the one that had been playing, it was now a black screen and the endless loading circle.

There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to which videos will actually play and which will not, other than I've noticed it happen a bit more frequently on videos uploaded in the past twenty four hours.

I've uninstalled the browser and reinstalled it, cleared my cookies and cache, made sure firefox is up to date, everything I can think of doing. I've not been able to find anyone else mentioning having an issue with this. No other browser on my laptop seems to do this with youtube, just firefox.

Any suggestions? It's getting pretty frustrating.

Hello, Suddenly I cannot access ebay - that is if I go to www.ebay.co.uk I get the following message

Bad Request

Please contact your administrator with the error code: 0.92c35068.1659696031.c897d52

I can access ebay with IE but I don't want too I want to use firefox!!

I reset my PC and reinstalled Firefox last month, but my bookmarks were never recovered after I logged in my Firefox account. A couple of months ago I installed Firefox on another PC (to which I no longer have access) and it showed all the synced bookmarks, but this time it doesn't. What should I do? Thank you

I have my language settings to English, and English ONLY.

When I open multiple sites, or even try to log in and view my passwords ~ it constantly displays in Russian or some other language.

There is no helpful solution posted, and I have no idea to fix this. Again ~ only English is set in my personal settings.

Any advice?

There is this weird bug(?) that popped up like within a day or so. When searching for some terms with Google in Firefox, the search result would repeat itself. For example, searching for terms like "ab", "abc", or "hgi" would result in two searches, but not "def". So let's say if I search for "ab" twice, I would get 4 search histories of "ab".

One curious thing I noticed is that if I already have a non-blank tab opened before the search, going back to it and then going forward to any search that would repeat itself would prompt it to produce two search histories again. The problem to this is that if there were other searches further up the tab's histories (I usually search for multiple things within the same tab), they would essentially be lost (I turned off search and form history) when the search repeated itself, since it would act like I made a new search of the same term.

I have updated the Firefox browser to the latest stable version 103.0.1, and the problem persists. I tried to replicate this on Chrome to no avail. It's irking me to no end, so any help is much appreciated.

Hi I am running Firefox 103 on my lenovo thinkpad T570 running windows 10. Streaming any video (e.g. BBC iPlayer or GCN+ or any source I have tried) Video very choppy, freezes for several seconds while audio continues as normal. this is essentially unusable. Task manager shows firefox running at 70% or more I have tried all the power management settings and that makes no difference. The Nvidia Gforce940 appears not to be used at all. All my drivers are up to date I have tried firefox troubleshoot mode, which makes no difference full screen mode or not makes no difference (its a 4k screen so I wondered if it was doing some kind of upscaling) makes no difference whether I run on external monitor or internal. Also makes no difference whether the laptop is connected to my thunderbolt dock or not. I can run the same content side by side in Chrome. Chrome displays the video smoothly with no glitches at all and consumes around 16% CPU (still no Nvidia GPU utilisation)

This problem does not happen on my other PC, a 5 year old Intel NUC, with i5 cpu, also running win 10 connected to my TV.

If i can't fix this I will have to very reluctantly revert to Chrome for video streaming I havent worked uot how to obtain the troubleshooting info to share but happy to do this if necessary

many thanks John

Ebay labels have worked fine for 19 years, but for the past 10 days labels being generated still look ok . . . although slightly different . . . and are no longer scanable at the post office. Ebay has been unable to fix the problem so I'm wondering if it might be from my end? These "new" labels have what appear to be "pieces" of a QR code in 3 places.

Hey,

i try to use firefox multiaccount container but it does not work. Better said if i add the add-on it does not show up in system bar (up in the right corner), but you can see it in the add-ons and themes setting menu. So there is only half of layout given but no function of it at all compairing to other persons using it, e.g. "how to use firefox multiaccount container tutorial videos" etc. Trying to handel the settings of it with the add-ons and themes menu does not help.

I use the firefox browser protable eddion for windows at my laptop and it seems to be that all settings are recent. As well it does not seem to be that i use there any privat tab where it does not work i guess?!

May someone can help me?

How do I configure Firefox to work with the Sophos Home application on Windows? Many of the buttons on the Sophos Home application do not function. For example, clicking "Dashboard" does nothing. (It still prompts me to enter my Windows login, but nothing happens after I confirm; there is no error message, just nothing happens.) I confirmed the Sophos Home application does launch when Microsoft Edge is set as the default browser. Turning off Firefox plugins/add-ons and my VPN makes no difference. Firefox is up-to-date. I am on Windows.

Hello: I am using Firefox Ver 103, with windows 10. Since I have updated, Firefox does not auto log me in. It used to bring me right to the main page for Xfinity, now it brings me to a setup page that I have to log into, and then I can go to my regular log-on page. I have looked over the setups, but all look the same. How can I get Firefox 103 to auto-log me in like it used to? thanks very much for any help:) Allen

I've been using Firefox for 25+ years, always keeping it up to date. I've been a customer of CIBC Bank for 20+ years and using their online website since its beginning. Last week I've been unable to login to my accounts without going thru an inconvenient and time-consuming telephone code procedure every time. Previously, this procedure had been in place only occasionally as a secondary method of identification.

CIBC advised changing my anti-tracking and cookie settings. After trying all the alternatives, there was no change. Checked out Edge browser, and it was the same. Checked out Firefox and Edge on a second computer and it was the same. Installed the Chrome browser, and it works fine!

No problems accessing any other website. Anyone ever experienced this? Any suggestions?

I use element.io for chatting with friends. If users don't add a picture for their profile, they default to a colored circle with a letter in the middle. In Firefox, the circles aren't solid, but are stripped with different colors. Please see attached image.

Hi, I am opt in the Open previous windows and tabs in the Settings. However, every time I am closing and opening Firefox, it does not restore previous session tabs. Can you help with this issue. please?
