I'm confused on how multiple accounts and sync work. Basically, I want to keep my personal browser usage from going into my work laptop.
I have 3 devices: 1.) Work laptop - always for work 2.) Mobile - always for personal use 3.) Home laptop - always for personal use
To keep my browsing history separate, I plan to use 2 firefox accounts: 1.) Work laptop - always Work firefox account 2.) Mobile - always Personal firefox account 3.) Home laptop - mostly Personal firefox account but occassionally switch to Work firefox account
I assume I can browse my Work browsing history at home by logging with my Work firefox account. But when I sync, will my personal browsing history be synced to my Work account? I don't want that to happen.
Firefox
After last update, menu bar and tabs moved to the right. How do I move it back to the left? Also I can no longer switch between tabs locations. Thank you

When i log my accout out, Firefox still remembers my bookmarks and passwords, this didnt happen before and it's hurting my privacy and security!

Unable to properly sign in to RBC (Royal Bank of Canada) online banking since install of the latest Firefox release 72.0.1. Windows 10, up to date. Other sites work. Chrome can access RBC ok. No error messages, it just doesn't get through the bank security protocol for some reason via Firefox. Sits with a blank screen.

for the last 2-3 updates everytime I go to start firefox I get a busy cursor and firefox won't open. When I check task manager firefox process is listed but I can not end it. Als a consent ui process appears for a split second, then vanishes, then reappears and vanishes in an infininte cycle untill I log out of windows to force it to close.
I browsed to mozilla install location and deleted the only .xpi I didn't recognise a doh-rollout@mozilla.org.xpi and thankfully I can launch firefox again. As this problem seems to come back every update I'm hoping someone has an explaination and fix.
How to stop Firefox suggesting Autofill logins from other sites?

I have logins saved on various sites but recently Firefox has starting offering logins for sites that aren't the one I'm trying to log into. Because I have quite a few logins saved this can result in getting a dropdown of dozens of 'suggested' logins and finding the one in the list that's the actual login for the site I'm visiting is a bit of pain. How can I set this so that Firefox will only show me logins for the site I'm currently visiting the way it used to?

I used to receive all my emails from my primary email account in my secondary account. Now this is not happening. There was some sort of change to my FireFox account that may have stopped the messages being forwarded. I checked and the forward is still set up with the primary email, so there is something blocking it in the secondary email and I can't figure out what?

Windows 10 had an update, I reverted the update, and now for Amazon specifically, and on Firefox only, I cannot play prime videos. I get error 7235 which is digital rights error. Basically it cannot see the add-on "Widevine Content Decryption Module". I've tried restarting PC several times, 4 different version of Firefox from 63-68 (currently on version 63). Tried uninstalling completely and reinstalling Firefox. I prompted Widevine to prompt when used and when I played a Amazon video, it DID prompt me, but still gave me the error.
Tried contacting amazon support but they just gave me the basic troubleshooting and had no luck. Any ideas are appreciated!

I want to turn off search suggestions in the URL bar. Yes, they are turned off in Options. Please see the attached screenshot. I don't want anything to happen when I start typing an address in the bar. I've done this before on an older install, but I can't seem to figure out where in the about:config it is. Thanks.

Can anyone out there help me, I’ve exported my FireFox Bookmarks onto an external hard drive and then copied them back onto the desktop and from there tried to import them back into FireFox.
All the subfolders have imported back into FireFox no problem, but for some reason it has not done so with any bookmarks which appear under the Other Bookmarks listing, is there something I'm doing wrong? The version of FireFox I’m using is FireFox Quantum 6.9.0.3 (64 bit) with Windows 10.

I enjoy playing games on 247games.com. Specifically the backgammon.
For the past year, I have had to NOT update Firefox, as the games won't work with the latest. I've just decided to update again, now have version 72.0.2 and still the backgammon won't work.
Last year when I did this, one of the volunteers worked with me for 3 days trying all sorts of things, with no success, so he finally advised me to undo the update. Now I wish I had left it alone, but an hour ago I updated. Now I have to figure out how to undo the update. Again. So disappointed.
I am on an HP envy laptop, with touch screen. Neither the touch screen nor the cursor will work for backgammon. I was hoping you folks had fixed this problem by now.

Youtube videos stuttering after updating to firefox 72

After updating to firefox 72 (maybe it was after 72.0.1 - I did not have time to check so fast) videos on youtube started stuttering. When I start video everything seems fine but after a while it starts microstuttering - image is twitching, movement of camera is not fluent.
It looks like it is related to all videos on youtube. I watch mostly 1080p 60fps and these most often cause this issue. Example video: https://youtu.be/1La4QzGeaaQ It is easy to observe it at 1:27 with camera movement and terrain being fluent or not. If I pause video and resume play after few minutes it seems fine for minute but then it starts being choppy again. It does not seem to be related to video quality. I had 0 dropped frames in yt stats. I found workaround - if I set media.wmf.vp9.enabled to false and restart browser with this setting set to false everything is fine. But when I set it to true (like it always was for me) problem starts to occur. However no matter what I set youtube still shows "codecs: vp09". I do not have this problem on microsoft edge. I never had this problem on firefox 71 and I did not add any new extensions since few weeks. It must be new firefox fault, not my hardware or configuration.

Redesign for the Scroll-Bars
I find the Scroll Bars of Firefox currently to be a little out of date. There must be some Graphic Designer out there, who will make a new Design for them.

I have checked my startup options and this is not one. Firefox does not start "immediately"; sometimes when I have started a Firefox session quickly after booting up, a second iteration appears (on top of the one in which I am working grrrr). I believe this is related to the last Windows update. It is VERY annoying and usually counter-productive. HELP!
