I already have Silverlight installed on the laptop but get the message/image Silverlight install, I have attempted to uninstall and re-install the program but had no luck getting passed the same message. This website page is vital for the running of the business, so I need a solution ASAP.

On a Mac, tried to come back to firefox after many years but is there no way now to import my passwords from Chrome to Firefox?
On the support pages there are supposed to be: 1) an Import button on Password Manager - not there for Mac 2) Import password check box for when you import data - no there for Mac (only importing bookmarks etc)
Can I not use the csv file from Chrome in any way?
This seems to be a pretty significant way to deter anyone wanting to try a new switch, not on Windows.
I want to view Firefox cache.
Previously there was a way to view ones history in the cache in Firefox. Could I please ask you remind me how to do it today?
Changing the stored cache size
In the previous version of Firefox, I had an optin to define the maximum cache size stored on my machine. Is there a way to do this in version 60.0.1?
Why can't I see individual cookies websites have set in the manage data section anymore?

Prior to version 60.0 of Firefox if I wanted to I could surf to Options > Privacy & Security and click on Show Cookies button under the Cookies and Site Data section (or whatever the option/section was called in 57.0), a new window would pop up with a list of websites that have stored cookies in my browser, but then I could expand a website and see a list of exactly what cookies that website had stored.
This rather useful feature has apparently been removed from version 60.0 as now when one goes to Options > Privacy & Security and clicks on Managed Data under the Cookies and Site Data section, it still brings up a new window with a list of sites that have set cookies, but no longer allows you to see exactly what cookies a site has set, it just shows the website with no further clickable options.
How do I get this feature back? Or what menu option do I now have to use to see individual cookies, assuming it is still even possible?

Using v. 60.1 64-bit. All attempts to download are borked. No error message, but checking Downloads shos that they all fail (wihout explanation, of course). I have tried EVERY so-called solution for this I've seen on the 'net, and none of them worked.
Help, please.
Save and restore old sessions
I really need to know if there's some way to save sessions, and open them whenever I want, no just the next time.

It's strange experience with Firefox Quantum for first time. I had started downloading 3.4GB file and after it was about to complete, it got some issue and resume didn't work. I want it to be resumed at any cost. About server : I had downloaded from Google Drive so no doubt about resumable server. (I still have Drive download link as well.)
I respect Firefox team for building such great browser, I just want you guys to look into this matter. It's really important to someone who can't afford "Unlimited Wifi" kindly provide solution to interrupted downloads.
With the hope.
Thanks is advance, awaiting your response.

Really need some help here as I seem to have hit a wall. Ever since the latest update (60.0), Firefox will randomly freeze for about a second, every few seconds. The specific way it freezes is very strange. For example, if I'm watching a YouTube video, the video will continue to play with no drop in framerate, but I can't pause or click on anything. I have been a loyal Firefox user since 2008 and this is the first issue I've faced that seems near impossible to fix. I've tried clearing cookies, restarting with addons disabled, ran full virus scans with two separate programs, ran CCleaner, even updated my Nvidia drivers. Nothing.
If I can help it, I really don't want to bite the bullet and uninstall/reinstall Firefox and lose all my cached data and especially my history. I don't have everything bookmarked and I'll never remember everything I want to save or return to. Is there anything else I can do? This is making Firefox borderline unusable. I did read about creating a new "places" database, but this warned that it would clear my bookmarks and history. Is there a way I could possibly back them up? What should I do?
Thanks LoveGame

How to export login information from Firefox Quantum

I set up a Linux OS on my computer and wanted to export all my login data from Firefox Quantum in Windows to it. I tried looking everywhere for what to do, but can't find anything. I've tried syncing my Firefox account, copying then pasting everything from my Firefox profile in Windows into the Firefox profile in Linux, however it only imported my bookmarks and none of my login information. Is there a way that I am missing or may have overlooked that will allow me to export all the login information so I don't have to reconfigure everything?

But it is not possible anymore to add an exception as described in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER?as=u&utm_source=inproduct. Is the outdated info??? So, the only way to use these websites is to use another browser. What's going on here?

Hello - I have read all similar enquiries about configuring any new tab opened to show the home page choice (for me it is the main Google home page): the answers provided are way over my head technologically but I also remember it being a fairly simple process in the past.
None of the TABS configuration choices under OPTIONS offers a means to make this happen: what has changed? Is there a non-code work-around? I haven't found it!
Many thanks as always - DMK/Minnesota

Frustrating. Anyone have any ideas? TIA Ric

In earlier versions of Firefox, in the options area, there was a place to limit cache size to whatever you wanted. I no longer see this option and I would like to be able to do this. It makes Firefox run faster and limits the writes to my Hard Drive.
