Firefox Community Forum

Hi,

I recently noticed an unknown Outlook/Microsoft account (oliveconscious13@outlook.com) saved in my Firefox logins. The email and password appear to be randomly generated, and the account’s preferred language is set to Russian. I have never seen or used this account before.

Here are the key details:

My Firefox account was created on June 8, 2025.

The unknown Microsoft account was created on July 8, 2025.

I only have two devices connected to my Firefox account: my Mac (where the account first appeared) and my Windows PC.

The account is also showing up in Chrome’s saved passwords, which I never intentionally synced with Firefox.

This is a brand-new Mac purchased directly from Apple, so I know it wasn’t a used device.

I’m trying to figure out:

How this account was added to my saved logins.

Whether this was synced from another device.

If there’s any security concern or if my account may be compromised.

Could you check my sync history or logs to see which device added this login, and advise on how to make sure my saved logins are secure?

I have no idea what passwords from . csv.files are or where to find them on my Asus LinuxMint laptop?

 The only password and username that i entered into my LinuxLaptop  are the only usernames and passwords

that I've entered into my new computer. I've also entered my google Chrome username and password to set up my Thunderbird email service. I never wanted to sync all my usernames and passwords in my Acer laptop computer because I felt that that made it too simple for a hacker to access all of my personal Information and access to accounts. Mozilla Firefox wants a password for csv files or tsv files or HTML files ? I don' know what any of these files are or where to go to to find them or the passwords for these files. I just want to successfully transfer all of my Favorates folders and files then all my Documents and picture files to my new computer. I'm a Photography artist, Graphic Designer,abstract painter, and creative writer. I can't move forward in my creative pursuits without completing these tasks. Thanks very much for your help and information. I'm soon to be 80 years old and not a very good keypuncher on a computer. I'm happy to leave Microsoft Windows and Google behind but Linux Mint is all new to me.

Guten Tag lieber Support,

beim Erstellen eines Lesezeichens (Strg+D aus dem aktuellen Tag heraus) wird dieses nach ~3 Sekunden automatisch angelegt.

Das Verhalten dieser Funktion ist äußerst(!) ärgerlich. Es kann vorkommen, dass sich der Dialog direkt vor dem Anfassen mit der Maus bzw. dem Erkennen / sehen / user action im Bereich des Fensters einfach schließt.

Das Lesezeichen wird dann zwar erstellt, aber in diesem use case muss es nochmal angefasst werden.

Könnt ihr bitte eine Möglichkeit schaffen, dieses automatische Speichern & Schließen-Funktion zu unterbinden? Sollte es schon eine Möglichkeit dafür geben, bin ich offen für Erklärung.

Beste Grüße!

When I click on a link, it opens in a new tab. I do not want the link to open in a new tab but to open in the current tab, how can I change to this please? Thanks, Andrew.

I am experiencing a weird scaling issue on one of my monitors with Firefox. The whole firefox window looks as if it's scaled to high resolution mode. Not just zoom of the content, but the whole window, including the title, toolbars, etc.

Note that only happens on ONE monitor (I've tried this on total 6 monitors now), and it happens only on one Firefox Profile. If I use a new profile, the issue is gone. However, if I copy the profile folder to the newly created profile, the issue comes back.

Here is a screenshot of the two windows opened at the same time on the same screen. Right window is normal, and the left window is the scaled up version.

I don't want to re-create my entire profile if I don't have to. Does anyone know what kind of setting/feature did this and how can I revert it? Since it does not happen on a different profile, and is replicable by copying the profile settings, it must be some kind of a firefox setting somewhere.

Hello. I wanted to know whether it was possible to connect another browser data, as I usually use two browsers: Safari and Google Chrome. I added my data on safari when setting up Firefox, but I would like to add the data on chrome as well. Is there any way to do so?

Twitter/X does not display, only an error message that says Twitter/X does not work with Firefox' advanced tracking (or similar). Requesting someone at Firefox and someone at Twitter/X get together and fix this so these two entities play nice with each other. Thank you in advance.

Since Flathub list the org.mozilla.firefox app as official, i hope this is the correct support channel.

Recently i switched from distro specific package managers to flatpak as my application provider. The firefox flatpak won't play most embedded Video/Media on applications like in-browser fediverse clients, forums, blogs or wikis. Youtube works without any issues, Twitch is fine until there is an adbreak. Then it sometimes stops with the supported format/mime error (screenshot appended), only recoverable by cache-dismissive reload.

I used this Article https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/audio-and-video-firefox and the links it contains to debug without any success. None of these samples play. just shows supported format/mime error https://test-videos.co.uk/bigbuckbunny/mp4-h265 At this test website 1. and 3. example won't play. I provided a screenshot before and after trying to click play on all the examples. https://www.tekeye.uk/html/html5-video-test-page

Contrary to the observed behavior about:support#media claims Software Decoding supported for everything except HEVC.

Chromium Flatpak has no such issues. So i copy the video url and play it with chromium. You can see: dire times.

bold textUsing beta it became flaky so I tried to move to the release version. I was told the beta was a later version so I could not. When I reopened FF all my data is gone. I lost all index page formatting, bookmarks, history tags everything. I would like to have this back (even beta)

I have noticed in the last two week severe problems with Gmail freezing while I am using Mozilla Firefox as my browser. Here is the message I got today:

style nonce="Zbhxq2KKGwv3dhsUaR9DSA">#loading {display:none}</style>Javascript must be enabled in order for you to use Gmail. However, it seems Javascript is either disabled or not supported by your browser. Learn more at our <a href="https://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?ctx=gmail&answer=6557&hl=en&authuser=0">Help Center</a>.

HELP. I may have to switch browsers. My email is not usable!
