I can't get Firefox to store bookmarks on my Mac since I installed Monterey 12.0.1. I managed to find some instructions on your trouble shooting page but they do NOT work. Hate to give you guys up, but unless y'all can help me fix this, I'll be moving on.

I've been using Firefox with my iMac OS 10.11.6 El Capitan I can't update my OS on my otherwise perfectly operational iMac. Firefox was working for me where other browsers wouldn't.

Today I was invited to update my firefox system through a website I was visiting. I took up the option without giving attention to the 'No-Go' icon and stupidly replaced the Firefox version I had, Now I have no working firefox option and I cant locate the older version.

I understand the security risk but my Mac system, my expensive internet service provider and my own usual caution around internet use, and my awareness of spam and phishing messages have so far protected me on the web. I'd be very pleased to be able to use the Firefox version that will work with my OS 10.11.6 but I don't seem to be able to find a suitable download.

Can you assist me please albeit entirely at my own risk

Since updating to the latest Firefox (102.0.1 ) I am no longer able to download any attachments from my email account when I use Firefox. I have to go to Safari and open my email there and download my attachments there. Or I have to forward the email to a different email account, not through a browser (to my IMac Mail account) to download the attachments.

If a solution cannot be found for this, I will have to discontinue using Firefox.

Thank you for your help.

My laptop needed a refresh and all data needed to be erased. Thinking Firefox has synced all my bookmarks and settings I happily reset my laptop but now I just installed Firefox again and logged in but there is no settings, no bookmark! What happened to the bookmarks? Is syncing really reliable?

I recently got a new Mac, running Ventura. When I did I lost the second toolbar that used to be in Firefox, the one that shows frequently used programs, like Google, Apple etc. Instructions say to click on Firefox and select Preferences, but there is no Preference under Firefox. I tried looking under Tools and got no where. What do I need to do?

Trying to login to update one of my many published Firefox plugins. It won't take any code from Google Authenticator (Firefox channel), and it won't take any of my saved recovery codes for Firefox. What's going on? I can't even get any support or ask a question from that account.

BTW, the email for the account in question is [edited email from public] @gmail.com

Of course, I can leave the plugins unsupported, but I don't think that's what you want. Any help will be welcome.

I use Firefox for going onto AOL and keep getting the message below. Would appreciate talking with someone and even better, getting onto my MacBook Air and help me out. Talking is most helpful. Tim

Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site. We can’t connect to the server at www.effulgencefoundation.org. If you entered the right address, you can: Try again later Check your network connection Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall)

I have Firebox as my default browser, both on my iMac and my PC laptop. Problem is, when I click on a photograph on line, it loads the image fit to the screen, instead of its original size! How can I change the setting on both my devices so this won't happen?! When I use Chrome, those images are all loaded in their original, large size, but not when I use Firefox! WHY?!!! I have tried the Firefox settings but can't find a solution! Thank you for your help.

Every time I log into a website, it asks if I want to save the password, and I click save, but it doesn't work. When I go into my account and try to add a saved login, it says "An error occurred while trying to save this password" and at the top a small bar appears saying I need to enter my primary password to log in, despite the fact that I'm already logged in and when I click the log in button it just goes back to the logins and passwords page and nothing has changed. I've tried quitting and restarting, changing all my preferences, nothing works. I've googled everything I can think of with no answers to my issue. Please help or I'm going to give up on Firefox and never use it again!

Up until about a week ago, I could use Office 365 (and namely Outlook 365) without any issue. Then a few weeks ago, typing on firefox (MacOS) misses keys, space's don't work, and there will be a random new emails that will open. There is nothing under the keys, nor is there anything under the control or space buttons hindering use.

When I drag/drop or try to upload a file, it won't attach to the email. When force closing, the attachment issue might (keywork might) remedy itself for a minute, but then returns.

The above issues only exist on Outlook 365 on Firefox. I do not have any of the issues when on Chrome or Safari, not any of the apps on my macbook.

Feels Firefox specific due to no issues elsewhere (including while typing this!).

Thanks for any help!



/edit moved thread from Firefox for iOS (for iPhone/iPad) to Firefox section since you mentioned macOS.
