I have one computer. I use Chrome for work stuff. I use Firefox for personal stuff. I installed the new Firefox as I was supposed to, and it closed all my tabs. I usually have the option to restore my previous session, but not this time. So I started going back through my history (grrrrr....) and my history is full of all the sites/tabs I visited with Chrome. I DO NOT want work stuff mixing with my personal stuff. Besides the fact that it is making it harder for me to restore my lost tabs, there is a reason I have two different browsers. I wish Firebox weren't trying to change my organizational scheme. I DO NOT WANT FIREFOX TO IMPORT HISTORY OR BOOKMARKS FROM CHROME. How do I turn this off?

https://messages.google.com/web/authentication

this is supposed to have a QR code, but it does not load. I have attached a still screenshot below.

I also cannot upload images using Firefox to Messenger. The large purple image is a result of an upload, but it should be a picture of a woman saved from Krita.

I tried a setting called "Refresh Firefox" and that fixed it but only for less than a day. whats going on?

Firefox incorrectly imports passwords from Chrome

Hi,

This is not a question, but rather an observation. When I imported passwords from Chrome (Version 134.0.6998.89 (Official Build) (64-bit)) to Firefox (136.0.1 (64-bit)) one of the passwords was incorrectly imported from Chrome. One of my passwords contains an exclamation mark (!) at the end, and this mark was cut off when I imported it. For example. Password in Chrome: password123! Password in Firefox: password123

Hi,

As I'm trying Firefox, it seems I cannot import the bookmarks from Chrome. Tried both the bookmark library (import) and the Settings -> Import Browser Data -> Import, same results. Everything else seems to be there, except the bookmarks, which is a show stopper.

Edge was able to import the Chrome bookmarks - So I also tried to import from Edge, no go.

I'm on Firefox 136 (latest) and Chrome 133.0.6943.143

Any suggestions?

As long as I have legitimate antimalware running, even with exceptions added for firefox, almost every single page comes up with one of the unique-to-firefox security errors rendering it practically useless. And the recommendation is to disable my antimalware? This is not an acceptable solution. I certainly don't trust Firefox to call the shots regarding my security over a reputable antimalware company. Especially when firefox is the only browser that has a problem. If you're going to to make yourself useless, you might as well let me access a page with a valid certificate and signature. Can we have an option to turn off your faulty security measures please?

I have used Firefox for many years without opening a Firefox account and have accumulated many bookmarks. My computer has just had its operating system and solid state hard drive replaced and all of the old files and data transferred to the newly installed hard drive. I just now opened a Firefox account so I could ask the question about how I might recover the bookmarks and load them in Firefox. After reading some of your support pages it seems likely that the bookmark file was transferred into the new operating system. I would like to find out how these old bookmarks can be loaded to the Firefox program now loaded onto my computer.

Please indulge this silly question. What possible benefit is there for Mozilla continuing to list this page with the very first, oldest Firefox release at the the top, requiring the user, every time they visit, to scroll to the middle of the page to search out the current latest version instead of having the chronological order from latest to oldest instead?
