I've synced all my data (including add-ons, passwords, bookmarks, etc) to my firefox binded account on fedora linux then change my linux distro and re-setup firefox on Manjaro KDE, login and etc

found out that everything synced but my previous add-ons and open tabs are gone for good I've so many opened tabs are my custom add-ons settings on so many add-ons for personal preferences are gone

I've faced this many times but I thought somehow these days firefox might have fixed these issues but i'm so sad that all my important data are gone :(

I'm using firefox only just for sync+privacy for hassle free setup again and again over many devices otherwise i prefer tor for much anonymity and privacy

PLEASE, YOU GUYS CONSIDER WORKING ON SYNCHRONIZATION FEATURES SPECIFICALLY <ADD-ONS> AND <OPEN TABS>

thanks for reading and pl igonre my english errors

I use a website in the UK alljigsawpuzzles.com The page loads fine and freezes with the firefox browser. Other browsers work fine. I have been unable to determine if a setting is the problem. I use https only. When I removed this setting, it allowed me to scroll for a few seconds and then froze again. Do you know what the problem is? It's true they recently upgraded their website. Is there a setting I need to change? Thanks! All updates are up to date.

I've been a Firefox user for at least 10 years. I recently installed Firefox on a new desktop PC, and the Firefox Privacy Notice tab popped up. "No worries," I thought, and read it and made my cookies choice. I didn't find anything about a separate "submit" or "Close" gadget, so I simply closed the tab. Now, every time I leave the Home page or open a new tab, the Firefox Privacy Notice keeps popping up. Please advise me how to close it for good.

Unfortunately, I have lost all of my browsing history on Firefox. There are no recently closed tabs that I can restore, and I've also checked for recently closed windows, but there are none to recover. It feels as though my entire digital footprint has vanished, leaving me unable to revisit important pages or retrieve valuable information I was previously accessing. Please help me.

Simply put, cannot connect to Sync from Firefox (Windows). I can sign in just fine into the Mozilla account (that's how I'm writing the question, after all). However, when I try to sign into Sync it asks for a password, then for an authorization code and then fails with "Bad Request: Something went wrong. Please close this tab and try again."

Tried it multiple times, even in Troubleshoot Mode, got the latest Firefox and all, but this seems like a communication issue, not a browser issue.

/edit: moved thread from Firefox for iOS to Firefox section as you have macOS 15.3.1.

There is a bug in Firefox Browser where it doesn't allow you to scroll up in the chat during the livestream and keep your place there to read a message. It auto scrolls down to the new messages everytime a new message appears in the chat.

Firefox is the ONLY browser that does this so it must be a bug. Chrome, Edge, Opera, Brave, etc none of these do this. It is especially problematic in livestreams with many viewers and an active chat, making it impossible to read a previous message if you want.

It happens on all platforms, twitch, kick, YouTube, Parti, Rumble, anything with a live chat

i am not able to log in to my att.net emails after a Firefox update. For the last four hours i have been taking care of my business with my att.net emails, etc. and then Firefox runs an update, and att tells me there is a problem when i try to log back in to my emails. Why is this constantly happening? i am an old person who is not tech savvy, and i just need to be able to get to my emails everyday to get important messages and send messages. This is happening way too often, and i cannot get it back to the way it was.

I don't notice this issue on other sites, however on the WSJ large areas of the front page, including the comment column, and the sections of world, usa, arts etc, more then half the page remains blank. Turning off adblockers has no effect, they being the only extensions I use. I tried Safari this morning which shows the many sections/articles I can't see on FF, though I much prefer to continue with FF. Thanks for the help!

I keeep a file on my system which is essentially an annotated list of links to useful references. Since upgrading to Firefox 135.0, I can no longer open links to these references if they are local documents (links to websites work fine). Attempting to open a local document (usually an .odt file) brings up a window describing the file and offering tp save it, or open it with the system handler. Opening with the system handler produces an error message "unknown error" and suggests trying saving to disk first. Clearly Firefox does not know how to deal with .odt files, and I can find no way of telling it.

If I get to Settings - General - Files and Appications and scroll down the Applications window to ODT document, I find it set to "Always Ask". I can change this to "Save File", "Use System Handler (default) or "Other". "Save File" is not what I am trying to do, and the other two options produce the same result as "Always Ask". There seems to be no way of telling Firefox to open .odt files with Writer (or anything else for that matter.) The support page (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-firefox-behavior-when-open-file) suggests that I should have a further option "Use<application name>". But it just does not appear. Anyone any ideas?

I'm on a Mac (10.14.6) with Firefox version 115.20.0esr. I can't go any higher on the Mac OS.

I'm having trouble printing invoices. When it prints it changes any number amount on the invoice to a bunch of periods or commas (see screen shot). Most words print, but some words are also replaced by periods or commas.

Invoices are about the only thing I ever need to print out of Firefox, but when I do print other pages as a test, they seem to print everything just fine.

If I make a pdf instead of actually printing, it does the same thing. This is difficult because I need these for my expense report for work.

I'm attaching a screen shot. I added the black boxes to cover personal information.

Thanks for any help you can give!
