I use multiple profiles with "- p %profile% --no-remote". Sometimes I make a copy of my profile under a different name and use it. I also actively use the search from the address bar with the keywords of search engines and so on. I have been using Quantum since version 60, hence my profiles have been updated from 60 to the current 63. I recently discovered that after copying (or renaming) my profile all my search plugins disappear and default ones are restored. If I added them manually, after a while they disappeared again. I searched the Internet, found several similar problems and came to the conclusion that this is a bug, and in 63 it is already fixed. Then I recreated the profile in 63 and moved my plugins, bookmarks, passwords and settings from the old one. The problem disappeared, but now I found that when copying or renaming a profile, the search is always assigned to Google. But i need DuckDuckGo.
I using Firefox 63.0.3 x64 on Windows 7 SP1 x64. No antivirus software, no anti-malware, etc. I try this issue with clear FF installation and clear profile with no addons and it's remaining. I have no viruses on my PC, and i create VM on VirtualBox with clear OS and issue still remaining. It not so critical, but i spent a lot of time migrating to new profile, and want all required features working as expected.
I found out that if you want search engines were normally transferred to another profile, you should: 1. NOT to remove unneeded default search engines, just uncheck them to make invisible. 2. Check this options in about:config are set: browser.search.useDBForOrder = true browser.search.hiddenOneOffs = Google,Bing,Amazon.com,eBay,Twitter 3. Simply copy file %profile%\search.json.mozlz4
Keywords and order will be successfully migrated, but this option (default engine) from search.json.mozlz4:
"metaData": {
"current": "DuckDuckGo",
"hash": "WHKd/qB/liV4mcI7lV1brZuHOGWIgWQcrhdVXcXfCJs="
},
will be reset. Hash, i suppose, is calculated simular to loadPathHash parameter in the same file. As you can read at https://blog.onee3.org ... function getVerificationHash(aName) { ...
let salt = OS.Path.basename(OS.Constants.Path.profileDir) + aName +
disclaimer.replace(/\$appName/g, Services.appinfo.name);
... Hash is associated with the profile folder name. If it is not match, the default search engine will be set.
SO, i have 2 questions. 1. How can i work around this issue? 2. What the f**k was that? Why hash checking for simple option?

autoconfig use of profile-after-change

Before Firefox 60, the autoconfig file (.cfg file) could register an observer for "profile-after-change" (so as to change things such as the default search engine), like this:
Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/Services.jsm");
Services.obs.addObserver(observer, "profile-after-change", false);
This no longer works (the first line fails outright). Is there a new way to register such an observer in an autoconfig file?

Firefox used to facilitate an excellent addin called Password Exporter. It has since been deemed Legacy and is no longer supported... While Firefox's embedded password manager has the capability to import passwords from other browser platforms, there is no provision to import my 270 passwords kept in an xml file created by Password Exporter. After a fresh install of Windows 10, I now have to open the password xml file with "notebook" and search for the required password...
One would think such an advanced program as Firefox there would be provisions afforded users to import and export passwords from and to a data file, preferably an xml file. No one saves 270 passwords on stickup notes. Everyone removes and reinstall Firefox...
Mozilla.... Please address this problem... The multitudes will be grateful.... How long could it take your code writers to install this feature in your next upgrade???
The majority of my passwords disapeared, and then didn't transfer over when I refreshed Firefox today, but I remain logged in to a bunch of websites.

The majority of my saved passwords disappeared. I was left with only five sites, when I'd saved passwords for many.
I remained logged in - as if the passwords had been saved! - to a bunch of websites that supposedly did NOT have saved passwords; my email, for example.
I tried rebooting my computer. No change. I tried refreshing Firefox this morning. All of sudden all my saved passwords are gone, but I still remain logged in to the same websites that I was before.
My bookmarks all shifted over, for what it's worth.
There is indeed an Old Firefox Data folder on my desktop. I'm not sure what's going on or if this is even safe. Does anyone know what happened, and why there's the disconnect between what's saved and what it SAYS is saved? And is there any way I can recover ALL the passwords I previously had, not just the ones that might be in the Old Firefox Data folder?

Hello, I'ld like to imgrate from Chrome to Firefox. There is option to import my data, bookmarks etc. and it works fine, but only for my first Chrome profile. I have two profiles on Chrome, one for work, one personal and would like to import only personal data. Unfortunately, Firefox always import data from work profile, and there is also no option to select profile.
I tried to delete work profile and migrate then, but in this case, Firefox doesn't see my Chrome instance.
how to uninstall last update
Hi, Firefox updated itself recently and I have lost all my bookmarks and passwords, how to I uninstall the last update to recover all lost data ?

So, after my online banking stopped working, I (unwillingly) had to update firefox to 63, from 45. I *liked* 45. I had a nice lot of plugins/extensions. After the update, I found (unsurprisingly) that most of my plugins/extensions were not on the toolbar. However, I also found that Firefox appears to have removed them entirely from my system. I need to find out if they are archived somewhere, or did the install delete them. Is there any way of finding out the name of the extensions/plugins that were removed. I can't remember the exact name of the old ones, and I want to find them so that I can go back to an older version of firefox later (probably inside a VM)

According to the Task Manager, when FF tries to start it stops booting at around 9,700-9,800K. This is pretty consistent. Right now it is at 9,764K. Last time I tried there was another FF file that went up to 34,XXXK. This time not.
I tried doing a System Restore but it did not complete because some of the files could not be updated.
Found an exe files for my version, installed that, still the same problem. I thought that maybe the exe file was damaged, but the new one does exactly the same thing.
So many help screens say go to the Menu but that is not possible when it won't even boot up!
I did not install any software or do anything to the computer before this. To make matters worse, somehow internet connection got disconnect. With much googling, found how to fix that.
I have saved my profile folder to the desktop because I cannot afford to lose all my bookmarks, etc.
Now what?
I am asking this question on a different computer as the laptop is too much of a pain to type on with that pad in the front. Besides, without FF..... So no automated info gathering will help you.
I tried opening Opera which I have on that laptop and it won't even start at all! Chrome does, that's how I downloaded a new exe file.

After a system wipe, I installed firefox v56x and downloaded and installed the Password Exporter add-on. After a few days I had some problems and re-installed the FF v56x. Now, I cannot find anywhere to download the legacy Password Exporter add-on. The proper link from google reveals a (Mozilla) page not found message. A 'cashed' page loads for about 1/8th of a second the goes to the (Mozilla) page not found. Other sites (Like Toms guide) only links to the page not found.
Can anyone ...PLEEEEEEEASE.. give me a link to a working download for the Passord exporter add-on.

All help is appreciated.

A relative purchased a "Jacquie Lawson Advent Calendar" for us. We've received this every year for five years, and it has opened flawlessly in Firefox. This year it opened normally until the screen showed "Display Driver stopped responding and has recovered." Then the screen stayed green, the music played, but no images followed. P.S.: Screen Shot would not upload.

I tried Firefox for a few months before I imported all my IE Favorites. I was satisfied with Firefox, and especially liked the Facebook Container add-on.
When I imported all my IE Favorites, the Facebook Container stopped working and none of the sites I have bookmarks for remember me from previous logins. I have to provide a username and password in order to log in to each and every site each time I visit it (though the popup shows with the correct shoice), and the Facebook Container doesn't have the blue line under the Facebook tab.
