After restating my desktop Mac, all my stored bookmarks (100's) have disappeared. Following the instructions on the Mozilla Help Pages to restore bookmarks, I received the following response: "Unable to process the backup file". So how do I restore my bookmarks? I am also unable to add a new bookmark. What is going on? Also, why is History no longer being logged? Clicking on the History tab, no history is displayed.

When Firefox automatically updated to 109.1 tonight, I lost all my saved passwords and bookmarks. The bookmarks aren't in a file under 'Restore' in 'Manage Bookmarks' (but I had saved them so I got most of them back). But I can't get my passwords. What happened?

On my computer, Firefox keep loading my wife's email by default. I checked that my email is still listed as the primary email in my Firefox account. And I can log into my email. But every time I restart Firefox, it loads my wife's email, even when I click on my email bookmark. How do I fix this?

I am using Firefox 109.0.1(64-bit) in headless mode from the Command Prompt screen of Windows 10. From the Mozilla Firefox folder if I enter firefox.exe --headless --screenshot C:\Users\me\file1.png https://www.wikipedia.org I successfully store the screenshot as file1.png However, if I enter firefox.exe --headless --screenshot C:\Users\me\file2.png https://www.python.org I don't store any file nor do I get any error message If I enter (not using headless mode) firefox.exe https://www.python.org the Firefox screen is opened and the python.org page is displayed

Any ideas about why wikipedia.org works and python.org doesn't?

The "shield" icon for turning off tracking protection cannot be turned off completely. It seems you have to do this for every single website. This feature (curse) makes almost all websites non-functional. How do I turn this off completely? If I cannot eliminate this I will change to another browser.

Dear community,

In the privacy and security settings of my Firefox browser at the top of the page, there is the following message: "Your browser is managed by your organization.". (image added) But this is on my private laptop, so I don't know which organization this could be.

When I click on "Your browser is managed by your organization", than a new tap opens named "company policy rules" (image added). But I can't find which organization.

On my laptop I have a Microsoft 365 family account, but no school- or work account. Once I installed Teams on my laptop with the credentials of my work account. But I uninstalled Teams later and I can't find any traces of my work account on my laptop.

In the Windows settings I also find sometimes the mention that some setting are managed by my organization. But again I don't know which organization.

My questions: - Is it normal to have the message "Your browser is managed by your organization"? - If not, how can I see which organization it is? - And if needed how can I deactivate or remove it?

Thank you in advance. Best regards.
