Want to migrate to firefox. However as there is no longer the ability to import passwords from Chrome and the github app ffpass no longer works with the latest browser releases, I will have to forego the migration as I'm not prepared to manually > 200 password entries. That is unless there is some hidden facility I've missed?

Hello there, maybe you can help.
I changed from Windows 10 to Linux, the Fedora distribution. I used Firefox before and want to keep on using it. I can still see my bookmarks saved in the "desktop-bookmarks"-folder on my android-phone even now. I log into FF on Desktop, try to synchronize, and about everything synchronizes besides those bookmarks. I enabled the option to synchronize bookmarks on my phone and on desktop. I pressed the "synchronize"-button on ff-desktop and ff-android mutliple times. I restarted ff-desktop without any of my add-ons, with no apparent change regarding the issue. I restarted my phone and sychronized again. I created a test-folder called "Test", transferred some folders in folders, but only the shell of the folders themselves transfers, and not any the concrete bookmarks.
Pictures for example: There should be 3 bookmark-links in "Food". There should be about 10 different bookmark-links in "Test", but apparently only the extra folder-shell "Food" is transferred. Bookmarks can be added from the desktop and they will appear in the android-version.
I appreciate all help. Thank you.

Does "Allow Cookies for Session" (under Privacy and Security > Cookies and Site Data > Manage Permissions) mean that Firefox will only store websites cookies that are used to remember that we are signed in or does it mean that it will only remember cookies for a website until I close the browser? Does session mean: 1) The active session until I close the browser; 2) The session/fact that I'm logged in to a website?
Developer Tools-Style Editor_change selected code text color

This is about Style Editor, which uses different code for styling. The colors used in browser toolbox (Ctrl + Shft + Alt + I) *Style Editor* uses Code Mirror selectors. Due to less than perfect sight & the poor visibility / contrast colors of found search terms & several other things in Style Editor, I needed to change things.
I didn't have too much problem finding most of CM's CSS selectors for what I needed. In all the CSS files associated with code mirror in the dark theme, I haven't found how to change the foreground (text) color when selecting lines or sections of code.
In Linux, Style Editor's default selected background is almost the same as the body BG color (looking at the hex colors used, and just visually. This from codemirror.css in omni.ja, changes selected, unfocused background: .CodeMirror-selected {
background: #D4E7F9 !important;
This changes the selected, focused BG color: .CodeMirror-line::selection, .CodeMirror-line > span::selection, .CodeMirror-line > span > span::selection {
background-color: #E9ECD8 !important; }
But I've found nothing for foreground "color," to make the selected text legible through the light selected BG color I chose. Just adding "color: #0000FF !important;" - under the background property doesn't work (like many CSS styled UIs - especially text editors).
Is it possible that Code Mirror doesn't have a way to change the text color on selected areas? Most text editors I've tested usually have preference menu settings for things like selected - foreground & BG color. Or they have themes that add extra UI styling ability. The themes on code mirror's site don't seem to use selected foreground color (or just "color"). Maybe it doesn't understand that concept.
If the highlight BG color chosen for CM is fairly light with some transparency, you can read some darker syntax colors, but not all.
Using another text editor with better search, I looked & searched all files I could find that control some of Style Editor's / code mirror's colors.
The only thing I found where I could change selected text color was one rule for searching in Style Editor. It's in codemirror.css ... and it doesn't work that consistently for visibility. /chrome/devtools/content/shared/sourceeditor/codemirror/lib/codemirror.css
The default colors (someone) used for search term matches have little contrast.
LINE 330: .cm-searching {
background-color: rgba(255, 255, 170, 0.6) !important; /* The 1st BG value listed is for focused search result highlight.*/ color: #0808E5 !important; background-color: rgba(2226, 253, 251, .6) !important; }
NOTE: I added the color property in ".cm-searching" - and it worked. Same trick doesn't work for any selection rules I tried. Codemirror's online manual is fairly spartan https://codemirror.net/doc/manual.html#styling

Only in Linux, fortunately. I'm using FFox 73.0 in Windows 7 to write this. I'm running Slacko puppy ver 6.3.0. Until now, FFox has run in it flawlessly. No access to safe mode in this OS. Holding down the <Shift> key starts Geany editor. I've run the FF script in console and have a screenshot.jpg file available for upload. Only a few lines, then the Ffox crash reporter appears. Not too useful. I'll try restoring FFox from a backup and see if I missed something.

I am a dyslexic (and die-hard) Firefox user. Along the course of the years, I found out that inverting the text-background colors is a good practice to reduce the eye-straining and increase my reading speed.
To achieve this in Firefox, I installed "Dark Background Light Text" add-on and it I used to work out extremely good. However, in June 2018 (Firefox 61) this add-on lost the priviledge to operate in the embedded PDF viewer. This is extremely painful (considering that on average I open 40-50 PDF per week), and I often I have to download/open the documents outside Firefox. This often turns out to be a disrupting process, that makes me lose focus when swapping back and forth between the PDF viewer, my IDE and the browser.
I don't know whether there is a way to activate this feature and I think I made a couple of requests to implement it, but, as of now, I've never received any answer. What makes things worse the Firefox's PDF viewer is the __only__ viewer that doesn't support this feature natively. Is there a way to enable this in Firefox? (I could be as desperate as to try to volunteer to implementing it in the code myself)
Please, don't leave my support request unanswered any longer.

Reproduction steps:
Scenario #1:
1. Go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EnZZGGxU-g
2. Press the play button in video iframe
3. See your tab crashing
Scenario #2:
1. Go to https://www.youtube.com/
2. Wait couple of seconds
3. See your tab crashing
Scenario #3:
1. Go to https://www.youtube.com/
2. Click on any video preview
3. See your tab crashing immediately
Scenario #2 follows Scenario #1. Scenario #3 being repeated even after restart.
Description:
Repeats each time I press play button on this video frame on that specific page. Tab crashes after such actions repeated after restoration of a tab, in a new tab, also in another window. After some single tab crashes, now any tab with YouTube that's being loaded crashes automatically after a while (DOM loaded as well as video previews, but after some time close to 1-2 sec tab crashes). Issue repeats in safe mode.
Environment details:
- Firefox 73.0 mint 1.0
- Linux Mint 19, Kernel 4.15.0-88, Cinnamon DE
- GPU: Nvidia GTX 960 (driver version 418.87.00)
- CPU/GPU/RAM/Swap/HDD are looking normal
- /tmp directory is full!
- One day I switched media.rdd-process.enabled option in about:config to false ( don't ask why ;) ). Even if I make it true as default, tabs are still crashing
- Used that version of firefox for some time - worked perfectly. This issue revealed only today on that specific URL
My conjectures:
Conjecture #1: YouTube has broken something today
Conjecture #2: Some time related stuff (date is 28.02.2019 03:00:00 MSK - so by UTC it's 00:00:00 which is strange)
Conjecture #3: This video has a present from Mao with some malicious stuff inside ( still hope my PC won't blow up this morning :P )
Conjecture #4: Temp directory is full and that causes quite heavy YT tabs to crash (maybe, if firefox uses /tmp, idk)
Hope ur debugging gods will be with you. If you need any more info or help on this subject - do not hesitate to contact me.

"Failed to initialize WebGL" in Firefox 73.0.1 when the same website was working in a previous version

Hello you fine folks!
I was using firefox with webGL until it upgraded to 73.0.1. Now all webGL content cannot be initialized. Specifically, Mapbox GL cannot initialize WebGL - I suspect someone has left a toggle in the code somewhere and it borked my workflow.
When I start firefox with all add-ons disabled I still get the same errors. I am 99% certain this has to do with the firefox update because it forced a restart and then various mapbox gl websites stopped working - I also confirmed it was not only mapbox gl by visiting the WebGL working site here: https://get.webgl.org/
https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/example/simple-map/ gives me results in the attached images
I literally did not change a thing except upgrade the browser as was required.
