I have used two factor authentication to access my account. Now when I have switched telephone I can of course not login any more. Since I had a disk failure, I have lost my security code too. Furthermore, when I try to login with my normal mail address, I get the screen saying "Check your email for the verification link sent to... " but there is no mail sent. I had to use another mail address and create a new account to access the support here.
Why is there no verification link sent? How can I enable my normal account again? I need it to update my add-ons.

I can't get my macbook to update from Firefox 66.0.3 to 69. It will neither do it automatically or if I do a manual update.

I"ve read through other articles. My firefox and sync are up to date. I have bookmarks checked. I use two firefox on two different microsoft PCs. I tried changing my options in sync to see if the chances would show up in firefox on my other computer. They did, so I have that much right. I tried turning off bookmarks in the sync, syncing, then clicking the box and syncing again. I want to say it can't be me, but of course it has to be or everyone would be having the same problem.

A recent update has changed the functionality of browsing images on eBay and other sites that use similar "slide-show" functionality.
Within the images section of an item on ebay, the left- and right-cursor keys on the keyboard no longer advance the through the images one-at-a-time -- now they skip two images at a time, or sometimes more, or sometimes right to the last image.
Further, on ebay, upon first opening the image-browser, when the thumbnails row does its initial auto-hide, it will not re-display by hovering the mouse over its display area -- unless first moving the pointer past the top of the display, THEN back down to the thumbnail display area.

You know when you approve Firefox to remember log-in names (NOT PASSWORDS!!!) just log in names like the user name? I know which I created but 1) someone hacked into my email and 2) when I went to log in to of course change passwords, I see this user name I did not create. Something like Gina2659 -- I see it show up but I put in the real name, How did this come about? I did not create that. How do i get rid of it? Is there a way to get firefox to unremember it? I would appreciate un-doing it. Also, most important, someone of course accessed my email because a folder was created that I DID NOT CREATE and it was a "send" folder when I have a sendmail folder. I have no idea for how long, probably not long, but there were emails I sent months ago, MONTHS AGO LIKE MAY that I saw in that folder. I got rid of the folder and of course went through the process of changing passwords to my email, and am going to change this one, too.
Another issue: I do NOT EVER want a password for everything. How do I check to be sure this is not the case with the mozilla password I have? When I see the "you did it! your signed in" and then get firefox everywhere else" Does that mean this password is used for other things in firefox? I only want a password for the browser which should also be used to get help, whether they call it firefox or mozilla. I think the one password that opens all is insanity. That is what google does. This is why I don't ever use chrome anymore. It is why I make sure to change my gmail password every month. Why I cringe at even having to have it in my smart phone and why I will never gt another android phone. I appreciate your help and insight. (I ASSURE ALL, there is no way I created that folder, and NO WAY anyone else could have because I am utterly careful and NOBODY else can use this notebook unless they hack in.) I think this happened around the time a week ago I first saw that "user name" gina6598 whatever. NOT my creation. thanks, Gina

When I click on "Create an announcement" in Blackboard, Firefox opens a new tab "about:blank." When I click on the "edit" toggle switch, the screen flashes and nothing happens. Everything else seems to work fine. I have no issues like this when using Chrome. What could be the issue and the fix? I would really rather not have to go back to Chrome just to use Blackboard. BTW This is occuring on both my MAC and my PC. Thanks!

Hi,
I've got an external FW soundcard selected as default Sound Output in System Preferences. Firefox does not output audio.
Other apps are working fine, including Chrome and Safari.

Vertical scrolling with trackpad stops working in a browser window

Vertical scrolling using two fingers on my MacBook Pro's trackpad randomly stops working on all tabs in a given Firefox window. The same gesture in other windows of the same Firefox process keep working. Arrow key scrolling works, as down page up/down. Grabbing the scroll bar and dragging does NOT work, but clicking on the scroll bar will scroll.
After two minutes or so, scrolling will suddenly start working, and the page I'm on will suddenly jump, as if the scroll events had been buffered up.
I cannot figure out how to reproduce this. I'm running Firefox in a terminal, but I'm not seeing anything interesting on stdout/stderr.
How can I fix this, or at least diagnose it? Thank you for your help!

I have a specific list of websites that I would like to block access to on an account but these sites are not being blocked properly.
On the MacOS parental controls, there are three options: Allow unrestricted access, Try to limit access to adult websites, and Allow access to only these websites (see screenshot #1)
I chose the "Try to limit access to adult websites" option and found that Firefox does not block the same sites that Safari does. Attempting to solve this issue, I added specific sites to the blacklist in the Customize section (see screenshot #2). But this still did not solve the issue - sites listed on the blacklist are still perfectly accessible in Firefox.
Am I doing something wrong here? I read the Firefox article on restricting content (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/block-and-unblock-websites-parental-controls-firef?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Parental+controls) but that wasn't helpful for my situation.

I opened up around 50 tabs in a single firefox Private Window on Linux and all was good and fast, I then opened another URL in a new tab, which asked me to Stop or Wait for unresponsive script running, where I chose to Stop. Then it started behaving abnormally; I was only able to do the following:
1 scroll on the tab using either middle mouse button or [Up] [Down] key on keyboard jfie 2 right click the tab content to open up right-click menu, 3 hover over the icons and change their background color like Homepage, Refresh, Page Actions, Show sidebars, as well as display their lables;
but I was not able to $ trigger the proper response from above buttons, or $ switch to another tab $ close or create any tab
I noticed in journalctl logs around the time frame this happend, which showed the following:
<date> <hour>:<minute>:30 <hostname> dbus-daemon[744]: [session uid=1000 pid=744] Activating service name='org.gnome.gedit' requested by ':1.7' (uid=1000 pid=1249 comm="firefox ") <date> <hour>:<minute>:33 <hostname> dbus-daemon[744]: [session uid=1000 pid=744] Successfully activated service 'org.gnome.gedit' <date> <hour>:<minute>:33 <hostname> org.gnome.gedit[744]: Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused <date> <hour>:<minute>:33 <hostname> gedit[30517]: cannot open display: <date> <hour>:<minute>:34 <hostname> dbus-daemon[744]: [session uid=1000 pid=744] Activating service name='org.gnome.gedit' requested by ':1.7' (uid=1000 pid=1249 comm="firefox ") <date> <hour>:<minute>:34 <hostname> dbus-daemon[744]: [session uid=1000 pid=744] Successfully activated service 'org.gnome.gedit' <date> <hour>:<minute>:34 <hostname> org.gnome.gedit[744]: Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused <date> <hour>:<minute>:34 <hostname> unknown[30517]: cannot open display: <date> <hour>:<minute>:39 <hostname> dbus-daemon[744]: [session uid=1000 pid=744] Activating service name='org.gnome.gedit' requested by ':1.7' (uid=1000 pid=1249 comm="firefox ") <date> <hour>:<minute>:39 <hostname> dbus-daemon[744]: [session uid=1000 pid=744] Successfully activated service 'org.gnome.gedit' <date> <hour>:<minute>:39 <hostname> org.gnome.gedit[744]: Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused <date> <hour>:<minute>:39 <hostname> gedit[30517]: cannot open display
NOTE that I did not open any gedit intentionally during that time window. So far, I have not closed the unresponsive window, in hope that I would be able to restore those tabs. But I am not sure where to start. The $HOME/.mozilla/firefox director is about 100MB.
Could anyone help? I am willing to provide any more information and I am willing to invest my time on this.

So I have a strange one... I'm using Firefox Developer Edition and I'm currently on version 69.0b15 (64-bit). My Windows operating system shows Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit...
Here's the problem: when I go into "Help" and then click on "About" to apply any available updates from the Aurora channel, I'll click on "Apply Updates" only to see if constantly twirl the little twirly icon around but never finish. The update I'm trying to install is 70.0b5.
If I go into Computer Management / Windows Logs / Application, I can see entries being lodged for the following:
The program or feature "\??\C:\Users\<My User Account>\AppData\Local\Firefox Developer Edition\updater.exe" cannot start or run due to incompatibity with 64-bit versions of Windows. Please contact the software vendor to ask if a 64-bit Windows compatible version is available.
Can someone please help me here? I have a Windows 10 system sitting on the same desk right next to this workstation and it updates fine. I've also tried to update using elevated privileges, different compatibility modes (i.e. - running the updater.exe for Windows 7), etc.--nothing seems to fix this that I can tell.
I can't delete any bookmarks.
I can't delete any bookmarks. No "star" in address bar. There was one, but when I clicked on it, nothing happened. Now it's gone.

The built-in keyboard shortcut CMD+SHIFT+P stopped working for New Private Window several versions ago, and this bug continues to go unaddressed. Does anyone know when this will be fixed?
All other built-in keyboard shortcuts work fine.
Also, custom keyboard shortcuts created in System Preferences don't work for new container tabs. I have CTRL+OPT+S assigned to File > New Container Tab > Shopping, but it doesn't work.
In both these cases, I know the shortcut IS properly assigned because it shows up in the menu, next to the name of the command.
