I keep getting messages from one of my credit cards saying a new computer was detected, saying it was Foxfire (or Mozilla) and Windows 10. The computer I'm using is running Windows 11 - why do I get Windows 10 in these messages?

I'm trying to get my wife's firefox browsers synced - mainly her laptop and phone. I've got the phone signed in and working fine, but on her laptop there's no option to sign in and the sync option is missing from the settings menu?

It seems to be profile related as if I create a new blank profile the option is there - but if I copy all the data from her original profile the option goes missing again. Short of manually copying all her data over, I'm a bit stuck for what to do next - any ideas?

I've tried disabling any addons, restarting in troubleshooting mode etc. I've also looked at all the other solutions I can find from here (mostly related to group policies, there's nothing enabled on this) and everything seems as it should be.

I haven't tried reinstalling, but it seems like this is a profile issue rather than an installation issue?

It's a Win 11 laptop (upgraded from W10 if that makes a difference), FF version is 135.0 64 bit.

Thanks!

Добрый день! Несколько дней назад на всех ПК в школе обнаружилась проблема: при загрузке файлов ярлык папки windows перестал работать как ярлык и стал восприниматься как файл формата .lnk . Теперь чтобы зайти в ярлык нужно использовать контекстное меню. Кажется, это произошло после последнего обновления. Заметил, когда прикреплял вложение в почте. Проблема сохраняется в разных почтах - mail.ru, yandex.ru, gmail.com. Скрины во вложении Спасибо!

As title. Installed the latest update as soon as i came out. I get the "Welcome to Firefox" tab and the 2nd tab "Firefox Privacy Notice" opened.

The 1st "Welcome" tab, has the box and buttons asking me to import old setting and all that jazz. I have down in quiet a few times and nothing is taken root. I have went through the process of installing all my old addons and extensions, I am not sure how many times, as I use them every time I open my browser to watch Twitch or Youtube, Beyond 20, and what have you. And of course it keeps resetting my toolbar and the bookmarks and settings on my homepage.

I thought at first, it might be buggy and after a day or two it would get fixed an updated. But alas, nothing thus far and this is forcing me to use other craptastic browsers I rather not even have installed on my system.

I have refreshed Firefox a time or two, I uninstalled and reinstalled, but I am afraid to completely wipe it out, as I do not want to lose my bookmarks, passwords, and other saved information, that I probably should not have saved but I do because my memory is "teh suck".

I would appreciate any insight on how tor resolve this issue.

Thanks!

Firefox will not start on my PC, so in the process of troubleshooting, I reset my password to get into this Mozilla support site. I saw the notice about losing sync data, so I followed the instructions. I changed the password, then went to my iPhone, where Firefox is running. However, when I tried to create the backup, it would not take the new password. I presume that since it was running on the old password (which I do not remember), which is the password required for the backup. Next, I logged out of Firefox on my iPhone and logged back in with the updated password. Now my data seems to be gone.

I have two other devices running Firefox, iPad and another PC. I need to know how to create a backup that I can restore my sync data.

When I open Robert Reich's substack article of the day, I'm finding that whenever the comments, the word "Trump" is replaced by "Mr. Bully". One can see the original by opening repost. If it is one of my own comments I can open Edit and see the original. I asked Substack support about it and they say it isn't them and to check with my browser. OK, Firefox, is this a new "feature" of Firefox or someone hacking Firefox. Would you please look into this for me.

I'm not sure I have the right topic as I didn't see what I will try to say. The problem is when I send an email (googlemail), I cannot insert a photo/picture in the email. The only thing I can do is attach which I do but want it inserted too. This only started happening about 2 weeks ago. It is now to the point where I have to use another browser to get it to work as it should. Any ideas why?

Lost Bookmarks after Microsoft upgrade(?) Since I'm using the latest version of Windows I don't know what to call what happened that came by way of Microsoft. So far as I know, I'm the only one reporting this. It would seem that if this was a change initiated by Microsoft it should have affected millions of users.

None of my saved passwords in my Mozilla account are showing up when I switch laptops and try to logon to various sites. Instead I have to manually enter the passwords for the sites every time even though the sites show that I have saved passwords for that site in my Mozilla account. When I type the password in a old or new site, Mozilla doesn't even ask if I want to save the password anymore.
