I had issues with latest releases (116.x) so I wanted to return to 115. Therefore I uninstalled the existing Firefox applications both on my phone and PC. Before uninstall I synced my bookmarks. After I reinstalled the earlier release and signed in to my account I was not able to see my bookmarks. Neither my phone and my app... Is it possible to get bookmarks back from a specific date from Sync? I am not able to restore my profile on my PC because I deleted the folder...

For the last few days I have had a problem that Bing becomes my default search engine. Even when I go to Google.com it will still reroute to Bing. I searched the forums for solutions and none worked. I couldn't even get into Add-ons and Themes. I would just get a blank page.


Resolution: Finally I decided the best way to deal with this is to delete and re-install Firefox. I saved my Bookmarks first. Then I went to install/uninstall and went to uninstall Firefox, but it gave me another option when I hit it to Refresh Firefox. I chose that option and it reset Firefox to all default/original settings. I didn't even have to import Bookmarks as it kept them and 2 of the Add-ons that I use were optioned to reinstall. The only thing I ended up doing was adding the Menu Bar back on and adding a home page button under Customize Toolbar.

Hope this helps others.

HTML5 download attribute is not working at all on Firefox.

I created a simple HTML Mark up like this:

Logo <a href="Will Logo.png" download>Download Image</a>

When I click the link, it doesn't download the Image, it opens it in a new window.

I have tried it on Edge and Chrome and the result is the same-- the Image doesn't download. It simply opens up in a new window.

Is there some settings that I need to enable, for this HTML5 download attribute to work?

Regards.

I hope someone can resolve this soon! So I can return to using firefox. Thanks!

If you google the problem you get 5 years of answers, most of which no longer work.

Changing layout.css.devPixelsPerPx doesn't work, it changes the entire browser.

My question: Is Mozilla going to add the fix to "Settings" so I can click on it and select a number and go on with my life?

PS I tried asking this question on the Reddit forum for Firefox and you can't.
