I don’t know exactly when this problem started, but for some unknown reasons I can’t download files through Firefox from my Synology NAS File Station, when I try to download a folder I get an error “ could not be saved, because the source file could not be read” . This happens when I try to download more than 1 file, if try to download only 1 file, no problem, it works like it should, when i try to download a folder containing more files I get the previous mentioned error, now, why do I post this problem here and not a Synology forum, because unfortunately on any other browser this works like it should, no mater how many files I try to download, and second, I like to much this browser to give up on it and i’m Almost sure this issue can be solved, so... if any one has any idea

I was having an issue with firefox so I did an uninstall and then reinstalled. Prior to removing firefox from my pc I did a backup and had firefox place "Old Firefox Data" folder on my desktop with my profile info in there. It contains the 8 digit alpha-numeric.default folder which has all my saved passwords, bookmarks ect.
I have used the following link https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/recovering-important-data-from-an-old-profile to import the old profile data but it doesn't work.
I have gone directly to the new profile data folder and pasted in my old data, restarted firefox and nothing. The bookmarks don' show up nor the history or passwords.
Also I have renamed the .default folder with the current folder name of my current profile and then replaced the folder. Still nothing, I can see all the stuff in the folder but when I open firefox none of my bookmarks are in there as well as no history / no saved pw.
I can't see why this is such a big issue as it seems people do this all the time, however for me its simply not working.
Any assistance would be great.
Thanks.

Update for FF68.0.2 TRASHED my separately installed V 56.0.2 with ALL OF THE ADD-ONS THAT I MUST HAVE.

1st, please read my prior question for background as to why I MUST HAVE BOTH VERSIONS @ https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1265937 - "Is there any "Extension" that is capable of storing CONSECUTIVE "Screen Captures" in the Same Directory or do I have to continue to use FF 56.0.2".
This question has to do with the VERY poorly written v68.0.2 update.
If you read my prior post, address above, I MUST KEEP V56.0.2 ALIVE IN ORDER TO SAVE REPETITIVE CONSECUTIVE SCREEN PRINTS IN THE SAME DIRECTLY - v68.0.1 HAD NO CAPABILITY OF DOING THAT, AND NEITHER DOES V68.0.2 APPARENTLY.
FOLLOWING THE ADVICE OF SEVERAL CONTRIBUTORS - I WAS TOLD THAT I JUST NEEDED TO INSTALL v68+ IN A DIRECTORY OTHER THAN "Mozilla Firefox" SUCH AS "Mozilla Firefox - NEW", IN THE C:\Program Files DIRECTORY.
I HAD v56.0.2 RUNNING ON ANOTHER TASK, OPENED V 68.0.1, WHICH DEMANDED AN UPDATE - IT COULD NOT EVEN TELL THAT THE MESSAGE CAME FROM 68.0.1, INSTEAD IT UPDATED THAT TO 68.0.2, BUT IT ALSO TRASHED MY INSTALLATION OF 56.0.2
WHILE EXECUTING THIS HORRIBLE UPDATE, IT DID NOT ASK WHICH DIRECTORY TO INSTALL IT IN - IT JUST PLOWED AHEAD AND DESTROYED MY V56.0.2 INSTALLATION, AS WELL AS MY ACCESS TO THE ONLY USABLE SCREEN CAPTURE ADD-ONS - SINCE V57+ DESTROYED THOSE.
THE FACT THAT NOW EVEN UPDATES ARE SO POORLY WRITTEN, IT APPEARS THAT THE END OF THE ROAD IS AHEAD FOR MOZILLA.
I MUST HAVE A DOWNLOAD LINK TO V56.0.2 WHICH SHOULD RESTORE MY ADD-ONS. (NOT DRECTED FROM FROM PAGE https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-older-version-of-firefox#w_i-still-want-to-downgrade-ae-where-can-i-get-the-previous-version TO https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/ ("Index of /pub/firefox/releases/") TO THE ENTRY FOR "Dir 56.0.2/" THEN TO https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/56.0.2/ ("Index of /pub/firefox/releases/56.0.2/').
THIS "LIST" OF FILES FOR FF V56.0.2, HAS NO INSTRUCTIONS AS TO WHAT FILE WHICH USERS NEED TO DOWNLOAD TO RESTORE WHAT MOZILLA's FF V68.0.2 UPDATE DESTROYED - AGAINST MY SETTINGS AND WISHES & WITHOUT MY PERMMISION.
IF MOZILLA WILL NOT FIX THE WEB-EXTENSIONS - THIS USER MUST HAVE V56.0.2 BACK NOW ! ! !
RETALIATING AGAINST USERS WHO REQUIRE 2 INSTALLATIONS, JUST TO COMPLETE BASIC BROWSING TASKS (56.0.2 & 68.0.2) SIMPLY BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY TO PRODUCE USABLE SCREEN CAPTURES WITHOUT HAVING TO REPETITIVELY RE-NAVIGATE TO THE SAME DESIRED DIRECTORY TIME, AFTER TIME, IS TRULY EVIL.
PLEASE DIRECT ME TO A USABLE LINK TO DOWNLOAD A FUNCTIONAL VERSION OF 56.0.2 - OR PLEASE INDICATE WHAT FILES NEED TO BE DOWNLOADED AND EXECUTED FROM https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/56.0.2/ ("Index of /pub/firefox/releases/56.0.2/').
FIX YOUR 68.0.2 UPDATES SO THERE IS NO IMPACT ON ANY OTHER VERSIONS IN DIFFERENT DIRECTORIES - THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS HAPPENING ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAD 52.0.6 SET TO NEVER UPDATE.
THIS USER MUST HAVE V56.0.2 (and its functional add-ons) BACK NOW IN ORDER TO DOCUMENT PAYING MY BILLS ! ! !

I have a situation where i have 2 monitors above each other and at start of firefox, firefox needs to open full-screen from the top monitor to the bottom monitor. The situation is in a restaurant and we need to see the tickets coming in from the top monitor going down to the second. It used to work with Ultramon and a script, but i think due to an update this script does not work anymore.
Can anyone help me?

Im just trying to have firefox have a dark theme, for everything. I want about:blank and about:newtab to be black background. why is this so complicated? I had to search for hours on this crap and write a custom css in chrome folder under default profile. I have it dark now but now it still flashes BRIGHT WHITE for a second before loading black. This shouldnt be so convoluted to fix. By the way, dark/black should be the default theme for every browser on planet earth. It would save millions from eyestrain/damage from harmful blue LED light from computer monitors and phone screens. Ive already selected default Dark Theme under themes. I tried the extension, Dark Background with Light Text. It now has interference from my custom css file I created, and wont work properly. Furthermore I cant change the new tab background on torbrowser either which is based off of firefox. Come on FF fix this nonsense, make customizing a theme EASY. its the simplest part of a website, the styling. And the fact that I click Dark Theme and everything should be dark, ITS NOT. about : blank and new tab are still GLARING WHITE! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

PS. I already got a dark mode extension for all the other sites, it's just Firefox default page that doesn't want to work and honestly I don't understand why it's not just a drop-down menu option.
Does firefox throttle JS or video playback when not focused?

I frequently leave Firefox open with a video stream from twitch.tv full-screened on a second monitor while doing other things (playing games, text editing, etc). If I leave Firefox untouched for long enough (more than a couple minutes, less than an hour) playback will start to stutter or lag (usually video first, eventually audio as well). Clicking Firefox or alt-tabbing very frequently fixes the issue, playback immediately becomes smooth. This is not a recent change, I've observed this behavior for months and finally decided to ask about it.
I have no proof that this is a browser issue. It could be a site-specific issue, (I see it most often on twitch but I have also seen it on other video sites like youtube), an OS issue, or something else.
That said, I could easily imagine it being an intentional browser feature - if Firefox is not focused, throttle JS execution and other resources to save power. In many cases this could be phrased as a feature for the user. Does such a feature, and is it configurable? I've looked through about:config and done some googling and find no mention, but I'm asking here to make sure.

If Firefox is closed, it will Open, and then open a new Tab and it will have the above information about Google. ______________________________________
I have asked for Help in this matter and am unable to receive any specific help other than a response i.e. "check your Add-ons". I solicited help from Firefox, Google and Apple and as of this minute, 8/19/2019 @ 2020 hours, nothing has been offered. I tried the Help/"Restart with Add-ons Disabled" and every five minutes, a Tab Opens with;
"Sign in with Google temporarily disabled for this app"
"This app has not been verified yet by Google in order to use Google Sign In.".
I restarted my iMac, closed down Firefox, and left my iMac go to Sleep, (the screen goes black, the Sign-in screen appears requiring my password to allow my computer to become active again) overnight and the next morning I signed in and found Firefox Open with 140+ open Tabs with the Google warning on all Tabs. While writing this question 10 new Tabs have opened with the Google statement appearing on each one.
Please be specific if you respond to my request for assistance. I thank you in advance for your help.

How can I autocomplete whole URLs rather than simply site URLs?

I'd like for Firefox's address bar to behave similarly to Chrome's where if I type just a few characters of the URL it autocompletes the entire url and not just the base site. Say for example a Reddit sub: If I want to go to /r/FantasyFootball in Chrome all I have to do is type 're' & since reddit.com/r/fantasyfootball is bookmarked Chrome will complete the entire URL. This does not happen in Firefox, regardless of whether I have it bookmarked or not. It only goes to 'reddit.com' and I have to type the rest of the URL from there.
I want to switch to Firefox 100% of the time but this is a deal breaker for me. Chrome's autocomplete is streets ahead of Firefox's & I'm hopeful there's a way to close this gap.

Hello, I've encountered a problem, where Firefox doesn't show reCaptcha and many other google scripts and tools. If I open the console, I can clearly see, it can't load pretty much any <script> from .js file, regardless the source. Off course, most often from one of the google's pages, such as gstatic.com, googlesyndication.com, google-analytics.com, etc. Warning is usually followed by "Invalid chrome URI: /", but not every time.
I've already tried these steps to resolve my issue, but without any success. - restarted FF in safe mode without extensions (no change) - disabled all blocking features included in FF (no change) - checked, that javascript itself isn't disabled (it isn't)
I've even tried instalation of Waterfox and Pale Moon without importing anything from FF. It doesn't work there too. On the other hand, Opera and IE works fine, but I don't like them.
Could you please help me a bit? BTW, I have FF with the exactly same settings on my laptop, which is also synced with my account, and it works just fine. Both computers run Win7.

Does Firefox have the ability to show browser widths (px) when I am checking various browser width results in website design? Chrome has this in Developer tools - it displays as a little indicator at the top of the screen - but I don't want to resort to Google! I am aware of the developer tool in Firefox to set browser viewport size but this doesn't solve my problem. In responsive web design It is useful to move the right side of the browser in and out to check web design results dynamically (at different widths). Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere.

Hi all,
I realise I can disable the Automatically Redirecting/Refreshing globally, which is the default setting that I wish to have. However I have a number of sites that I use on an almost daily use where I want to have exceptions and allow redirecting/refreshing.
Is it possible to have per site exceptions? Even if through an addon?
Thanks

Good Morning Everyone - I've been having this issue for a while it's started to really impact my efficiency at work. I guess at sometime in the past i may have accidently clicked "remeber for future use" while filling out a form. The issue now is that whenever i visit certain websites, firefox is OVERWRITING what was in the form previously with what is has saved.
I cannot figure out how to delete it.
In the photo, my auto response WAS there when the page initially loads (or when i view it on a different browser). But when i open it on my firefox, firefox deletes what's there and inserts "i think my ip is blocked".
It does this for many different types of forms on different websites. It makes using websites very difficult !
I've tried clearing cache+forms data for "everything" restarting.
Any ideas?
