The Firefox on my two android devices still have the logins intact is there a way to send them to the Windows version?

Previously when my computer would crash, Opening Firefox would give an option to restore the pages (there would be a button I could push). I counted on this feature of Firefox to be able to restore my session and did it for months.

Lately (the last 3 times my computer has crashed) this option has not appeared and trying to locate and retrieve my history has not been easy or possible. I thought I set my computer to always restore and it is not working. How can I be certain that when my computer crashes that I will be able to restore my webpages?

Should LastPass still be recommended, or even listed?

Lastpass has had major data breaches in 2011, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019, and two in 2022. Today I got a recommendation to install LastPass. I was a bit surprised. LP (log… (read more)

Lastpass has had major data breaches in 2011, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019, and two in 2022.

Today I got a recommendation to install LastPass. I was a bit surprised. LP (logmein, gotomypc) has a history of databreaches. I found reports in 2011, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019, 2021, and two in 2022.

People without a lock on the door know they have no security. Putting on a lock that is not effective only gives people a false sense of security and may even increase the threat.

I love many of the add-ons. I know I can't rely on anyone to make sure they are all secure, but I hope such well-publicized problems will result in a review.

The billions lost and hundreds of hours spent by people each year with passwords in our fight with hackers is a true drain and a danger. Password programs have been the only way for individuals to survive. Their standards for security must be even higher than others. LastPass has not met the standard for a high level of security...or even a low level.]

LastPass has one reason for existing--keeping our passwords safe and secure. In the light of their failure, it's time to stop recommending them. It undermines the credibility of Mozilla and Firefox.

On Firefox, I have a folder of bookmarks named "Test" on my Bookmarks Toolbar. The folder holds 10 bookmarks at this time (number will be variable).

How can I use VBA to access and open the bookmarks in the Test folder?

I am able to open Firefox with the VBA code, but I cannot find how to get to the Test folder in the bookmarks.

Can you suggest possible code to get me to these bookmarks?

Thank you in advance.

Hello !

I just started using the Lnk.Bio service for my personal social media links etc.

Everything is fine on my Android Phone but the browser version of the page seems to have trouble loading the icons, which are replaces by rectangles with two rows of numbers/letters only.

This only seems to happen on the Firefox Browser and I obviously tried switching all add-ons and plug-ins to see any difference but it didn't, and the strange part is that it works fine in Incognito Mode, but is still not displaying right in Safe Mode/Troubleshooting Mode.

I contacted admins of Lnk.Bio and we tried a few solutions, but none worked except when we cleared cache on the Web Developer Tools (Ctrl + SHift + i > 'Cache Storage' > Delete 'V68') but it only worked for one page (not the whole domain) and the single page returned back to the same state (icons not loading).

Is it possible that there is some sort of bug with the Firefox Browser ?

Thanks in advance !
