1: By logging in to my account I am asked to "Enter two-step authentication code"

Upon my knowledge I do not have anything like this. Can I still log in by using my old username and my normal pasword and the be able to sync between my different PCs ?

2: How to sync my EDGE Bookmark list to my Firefox ?

some special characters that i distinctly remember being able to see before are now no longer showing up properly. i'm a fanatic about ancient/prehistoric scripts and was able to see the scripts on the Baybayin Wikipedia page, but i think a few updates ago made this no longer true.

i'm able to see things on other browsers and even in the right-click menu as i have the font needed to see everything installed onto my system (win 10, i dont have security updates enabled. the font is noto sans tagalog, and i've already reinstalled it twice). the setting to allow pages to use their own fonts doesn't seem to do anything, either.

confusingly this is not a problem on my macOS device, where the same page renders correctly without me needing to download any font (i mean, as far as i remember). i think this implies this has something to do with windows, but i'd like to ask in here first.

attached is a screenshot of the wikipedia page showing in firefox on windows 10, and the right-click window displaying the script correctly.

I am an editor, which means I do a lot of research. I do not want my shortcuts to reflect all the crap I have to review for work. The latest update shrunk the size of the shortcut squares and added many. That simply does not work for me, and I want to return to what I had before the update. Is there any way to do that? What I have now is a royal pain in the butt.

I installed a new hard drive into my computer and when I downloaded firefox again none of my saved links, passwords, themes, etc. moved over even though I signed into my account. Please help! Asap!

I use the most up to date Firefox program. I needed to reinstall windows from scratch so backed up my files using the Firefox Backup option. When i try to restore the files, it restores only 2 bookmarks, 1 called Learn More, and another, a folder called How to Restore, and in it a book mark called Download. The bookmark just takes you to the Firefox home page. I dont know what to do.. there are bookmarks I need, so hope someone can help. Attached is an image of the file Firefox Created.

I finally got the search field and the address field on the same line. However, the search field is on the left and I would like it on the right. When I "customize toolbar" and manually switch the fields, it does not seem to reverse them subsequently (after I enter "Done").

What am I missing here?

Thanks as always to you good folks who will share your suggestions with this low-tech guy.

Hello, I have installed the latest Firefox on my Windows 11 desktop PC. I have created a shortcut to Firefox in the start menue Since a few week, I observed that I had to invoce Firefox twice in order to get is running once. The same happens if I double-click on firefox.exe in the intallation folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox): After the first double-click, the windows activity circle appears for a few seconds and then dissapears again (without staring Firefox). After the second double-click, Firefox starts immediately.

I can repeat this several times.

• first double click > nothing happens
• second double click > Firefox starts
• closing Firefox
• third double click > nothing happens
• fourth double click > Firefox starts
• closing Firefox
• fifth/seventh/... double click > nothing happens
• sixth/eigth/.. double click > Firefox starts

I have no idea what might have gone wrong. Any suggestion from the community is appreciated. Best,

1) If I don't see an Https://"'at the beginning of your Mozilla url in the top of my address line I don't proceed further.

2) My cell phone isn't working presently so when you offer an option to confirm who I am by sending a number code to my cell phone number I'm unable to use that option it to confirm who I am. How 'bout coming up with an additional alternative or two for confirming?

Many thanks!

i re-installed my windows, installed firefox, and it automatically re-synced everything, a few days later, windows had an issue so i had to install windows again, but this time, when i installed firefox, i logged in, and after finishing syncing nothing was there, everything is gone, that being said, it's only form the desktop browser, i still have all my bookmarks and passwords on my phone's firefox, but they wont sync into the desktop one i cant find an option to export the phone ones into a file to import in the desktop app, i need help

When printing puzzles from USA Today on my Canon Maxify, the crossword puzzle and the sudoku both show up as two pages, when they are only one each. If I don't change the setting from All to Current each time, it will print a blank page with each puzzle. This just started happening within the last month or two, but I have had Firefox/Duck Duck Go for many years. If I switch my browser and search engine to Google, which I hate, it shows and prints each puzzle properly. I don't know if it's the browser or the search engine, but it is a problem that I didn't have until recently. The print box is completely different from Firefox/Duck Duck Go to Google, so if it is Duck Duck Go that sets the printing box, I need to contact them. Firefox version 147.0 on Windows 10 on Lenovo laptop. Thanks in advance to anyone with a solution.

I posted this in the Android section a couple of days ago, but since I've had no responses I thought I should try it here in the hope it'll catch someone's eye. Hope that's acceptable.

Here's my question:

Can I fine-tune sync the way I want?

I would love to be able to sync bookmarks and passwords between two desktops yet sync just the bookmarks to a third device: an Android phone. Why? Because while I want my bookmarks available everywhere, I don't want sensitive passwords on a device that leaves home.

But I don't see a way to do that. I've tried, and I find the passwords end up being synced no matter how I configure the settings.

Nor, apparently, can I export the bookmarks and passwords to a file, strip out the passwords, and import the bookmarks alone to the phone--what I was hoping could be a workaround. I gather one can't import to mobile Firefox. Have to sync.

So I'm back where I started: unable to do what I want to do.

And I missing something? Post a Reply

Since changing to a new internet service provider, I can no longer print form Firefox. My internet router uses the same username as password as my previous router.

How do I stop my search results from suddenly becoming shortcuts on my home page? This is something that has started relatively recently & I did not request this or change my settings.. The only thing I want on my homepage is actual saved sites that I choose to have on my home page. I now have to spend time every session deleting the history of these unwanted shortcuts from my homepage. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Just searching for how to stoip this has added this search as a shortcut to my home page- see attached pic.

Laptop Windows 10. Firefox/Mozilla ask me to update. Did that 3 hours ago. Cannot find my History and Bookmarks from prior update. I have restarted my laptop since but still nothing... Can you please help?

THE FOLLOWING SHOWED AFTER FIREFOX WAS UPDATED: NO SETTINGS HAVE BEEN CHANGEDTHE BOOKMARKS AND HISTORY SYSTEM WILL NOT BE FUNCTIONAL BECAUSE ONE OF FIREFOX’S FILES IS IN USE BY ANOTHER APPLICATION. SOME SECURITY SOFTWARE CAN CAUSE THIS PROBLEM.

Firefox suddenly reset to a fresh install state: only default bookmarks, my custom ones are gone. No sync enabled. No manual reset/refresh/reinstall done. Tried: Restore from backups (none recent), about:profiles (only new profile), checked bookmarkbackups folder (empty/old). Please help recover bookmarks if possible. What could cause this? Any recovery steps?
