After the release and subsequent auto update of firefox 70.1 I had NO internet access. Anytime I attempted to open the browser I got an error page saying Can Not Connect. Finally after using a restore point dated Oct.25 I was able to acess the net and download sites again but I can no longer stream video from Netflix or Amazon Prime Video. Hulu and other sites are not affected. Netflix said refreshing firefox would work. It DID NOT. Amazon says the latest version of firefox is needed to restore functionality. That version kills my ability to access the web. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit on an older HP with AdBlocker Plus and HTTPS Everywhere. Any ideas ?

I have a new Windows 10 computer. I downloaded the bookmarks from Firefox on my old Windows 7 computer and uploaded them to Firefox on the new computer. I can see that the bookmarks are there, but they are not displaying across the top of my screen as they did on the old computer. I had many "categories" listed across the top, such as Music, Food, etc., with many bookmarks on the dropdown from each category. How do I get those categories to display across the top of my screen? Thanks for your help!!!

I tried to download some item I bought off Humbundle, I could only download 1 file, and nothing else. The page has a Bulk downloader, in this case, select the PDF box and download all the files that are PDF on the page, lets say 20 without counting.
1 will download, I click the individual links and nothing. Refreshing the page, I can download 1, and no more.
All the files were torrent links, though I doubt it matters Personally I don't see how a third party download tool would help, even the linked responses and original question were not related.
Using firefox 70 on Linux Mint
On a unrelated note, I do hope that this is not a forum where you must logon and check it daily, after creating this, I found an older submission I had forgotten about with several responses, I wish I had gotten an email letting me know I had a response.
This is the response I got from Humblebundle, this is included because I know the first response will be it is not firefox it must be the site.

Hi there,
Thanks for writing in! I'm sorry to hear about the trouble.
I believe this is an issue of your browser blocking multiple download from the same site. I have attempted the bulk downloader myself on Chrome and had success with the bundle you mentioned, so that is the only factor I believe may be holding you back. There is an article regarding this issue for the Firefox browser here:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1163075
Installing that add-on may help you correctly download the products in question.
If you continue having trouble, let me know and I can discuss this issue with my team further. We may not be able to provide an immediate solution, but we can hopefully address this issue in future updates to this feature.
Kind regards,

Disable auto update or forced restart without disabling updates entirely

I would like to disable the forced automatic update restarts and the only solution I can find is via policy disabling all updates.
This isn't what I want, because I do want to be updating Firefox regularly, but I do not want it to interrupt things I am in the middle of working on to do it by *refusing to load pages* until I restart it.
This is a nightmare when working on things that require multiple tabs, or worse when I'm submitting something via a form as this restart page and forced restart destroys what I was doing.
I would be happy for it to automatically install the update on next restart. I will tolerate nag screens to remind me to restart the browser as soon as is practical. I *cannot* tolerate it absolutely ruining what I was doing by suddenly showing a demand to restart instead of the page I just submitted, or having something half written I need to check something for in another tab to find that I cannot do that and so cannot finish what I was doing before restarting.
This update process is hostile, and disabling updates entirely is not at all what I want to do, I just want to control where my workflow is interrupted and avoid LOSS of work. But I can only seem to find the extreme options of no updates at all, or automatic updates that will randomly ruin what I am doing.
If this is the new reality for Firefox I'll have to find something else to use, but having spent several hours trying to find a fix for this - and this not being the first time I looked as this has impacted me several times previously - even if there is a workaround it's incredibly poor form to not allow this option in a simple manner or to have such information easy to find.

Я увеличила, потом решила уменьшить инструменты разработчика и уменьшила нечаянно настолько, что они пропали куда-то, теперь даже если включены их нигде нет и не видно. Как их сделать видимыми, вернуть на место? Прилагаю файл всего экрана, где видно что галочка стоит, а самих инструментов не видно, пробовала все приложения закрывать, перезагружать компьютер, но их нет и они не появились, не могу открыть. А я учусь на верстальщика и привыкла именно в этом браузере просматривать сайты, в других мне не так уждобно, нужно привыкать.

I have downloaded 70.0.1 on my MacBook Pro, and on my iPhone. I have synced them. But no matter what I do, the only version of Firefox that stays on my laptop is 68 something, with the ESR update system.
The last time I downloaded 70.0.1, I anchored the icon to my toolbar. When I click on that, the download box appears again.
How do I get 70.0.1 to replace the ESR-linked 68 something on my computer? How do I remove myself from the ESR updates?
Thanks in advance!

Since updating to Firefox 70 I get every day at least once the message "Firefox can't update to the latest version" - although I have the latest version installed (right now 70.0.1 - see attached screen shot).
How can that be fixed?

I then go into about:profiles and have to delete multiple profiles that have appeared and set my original one to default, which works fine and i have all my bookmarks back. However as soon as I switch my macbook off and on again, I am back to square one and have to delete old profiles and set my old one to default. This is incredibly frustrating.

Everything worked great until the recent update. Now, everything fails. I have found several threads on here, showing things to do. Ive cleared cookies and all of the histories. Blocked Windows 10 family app from firewall access. Removed myself from Families app. So family setting shouldnt be an issue, even though i am running Windows 10. Turned back Firefox to Version 68. Reset downloads folder. Changed download folder location. But nothing will allow me to download anything. Every time i try to download a pic or a video, the file comes up as "failed." Im not a computer guru. I have tried all I know how to do and have come up empty. Any way I can fix this? This is hurting my ability to sell my items online. I cant download any pics sent to me, by clients to re-use them in the listings! Please help!

I am switching to Windows 10 on a new laptop. I downloaded Firefox. Trying to log in using my original email address and password that I use on my old computer for Firefox. Doesn't accept password. When I try to change password email indicates the message is coming from the IP address of my old laptop..... which it isn't.... not sure how to fix this. I cannot log in on my new laptop because of the password. I am sending this from my old laptop simply because I can't log in to help on the new one.
Windows account restore: Unable to use restored Firefox profile on Firefox 70

I have restored a Windows user account (Win7) with integrated Windows Backup to another computer (Win10). I got a message that due to changes in Firefox the Firefox profile cannot be used anymore. Then I copied the profile folder manually and checked profiles.ini, but no way. I found an Firefox help article how to copy several files manually to the new profile ("Recovering important data from an old profile"). This seems to be a workaround, but I'm not sure if it restores the Firefox profile completely, and it is unexpected additional work to complete the Windows Restore. So my questions: Is there an easier way to get the restored Firefox profile running? Firefox synchronization is not allowed due to company policies. What is the technical reason for not accepting copied profiles anymore? BTW, there is still an article in the Firefox help recommending this: Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles

When clicking on a download link, Firefox sometimes opens a new tab to download the file and never closes it. I had found an add-on that closed that tab soon after opening it in the Add-on section. Last night I had a HD crash and had to do a reformat and re-installation of Windows and all my software. I had not made a backup of Firefox with the installed add-ons recently, so when I restored from the backup that add-on wasn't there.
Does anyone know the name of the add-on that I'm referring to so I can reinstall it and not have to close the tabs manually?

I'm moving to a linux systme (Centos 7) workstation and want to move all my book marks and 203 passwords over to it. I've tried the export as html - export as .json -> email both to the centos workstation, but can't seem to import it properly. Its like the FF in Centos doesn't know what to do with the file. Any ideas?
Btw: Just for reference - these are 2 different machines, on the same local network.
Thanks for input.
