My understanding for profile feature was that bookmarks, user preferences were seperated. However my Pinned websites on my work profile in my work computer is synced to my personal profile at personal computer.

Is there a way to avoid this or is this unavoidable when using the sync function.

A few days ago my saved passwords all disappeared. I have been logging in manually and when I do Firefox asks if I want to save the password and I click yes. The password then shows up in the saved Passwords. But... in a day or so it disappears again. What's going on? I have not changed any settings.

To whm it may concern, Having the same problem as others with homepage shortcuts and Its absolutely absurd - I want FAVORITES shortcuts on my home screen, not shortcuts for every flamin page I visit (mind you, your new shortcuts creation option is designed so poorly, if I sign into something like an email account, it saves shortcuts for the initial page, the login page and the landing page! - Seriously Mozilla??) The box you once checked to save favorite site shortcuts now says "sites you save OR VISIT". Thats just utterly ridiculous, especially when I have set cookies and history to be deleted on browser exit.

PLEASE FIX THIS - Not user friendly in the least Thank You

I just moved to a new Windows 11 PC from my Windows 10 PC. I backed up my Firefox profile and put it on a portable drive. I loaded Firefox on the new PC and then found the folder where the profiles are. I added the profile folder from the backup. Firefox has not found it and there is no way I've been able to discern to search for it.

I added the anti-virus after trying to set up Firefox.

Here are the particulars: Firefox version 146.0.1 (64-bit) Windows 11 Application Binary: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe Profile folder: C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxx.default-release

Any help appreciated.
