I just replaced my Win 10 desktop with a new Win 11 desktop. I downloaded Firefox OK, but my bookmarks are no longer there, of course. I was told that there was some way to recover them to this machine, but I didn't get any details how. In fact, the person implied they would just appear when I downloaded Firefox to the new machine. Of course, this didn't happen. Firefox did appear to recognize me (got a "welcome back, by the way" message near the top of the page). Can I somehow recover my old bookmarks to this machine?

Hello Mozilla Support Team,

I recently noticed a file named Newtab@mozilla.org.xpi on my system and wanted to confirm its purpose. My Firefox browser is working normally, and I have not observed any suspicious behavior, but I want to make sure this file is legitimate and part of Firefox’s features.

Could you please clarify if this file is a standard component of Firefox, especially related to the new tab page functionality?

Thank you for your help!

Best regards.

I am trying to set up a new computer. I have customized the homepage and new windows to a preferred page, however I cannot customize the new tab settings. The only options for a new tab are either Firefox homepage or blank page. I am trying to find a way to have my preferred homepage open when I open a new tab.

When I make an online call through Firefox, I allow microphone permission, but there is no sound input. I also tested multiple voice websites, but none of them work. However, I can use the microphone using Edge in the same situation. I think there must be some problem with Firefox. How can I solve this problem? My system is Win11
