hi. i used only Firefox from Mozilla. can i delete this folder safetly? ~/library/application support/mozilla/native messaging host/com.apple.passwordmanager.json

I am trying to export/import my book marks from one macOS computer to another (intel to Apple silicon), however, all of my imports and restore attempts fail. My last restore attempt failed with the following message: Firefox Unable to process the backup file. Any other suggestions?

Looking to export my saved passwords from Firefox for Android (Current Version) to CSV file or directly to Bitwarden Password Manager. Can you please explain how to do This if it's possible?

Does ‘Firefox’ automatically send extra ‘backup authentication code’ once I use up the current lot it sent?? If not, what does 1 do for extra extra ‘backup authentication codes’ ??

Hello,

I think it would be useful if bookmarks are always saved in a user-defined default folder rather than saving them in the folder last used. I don't always remember what folder I've used last so the bookmarks end up somewhere I cannot find them. There might be cases I would find this useful, but I think providing an option to search the list of bookmark folders, to select multiple bookmarks and move them to a different folder might be more useful to get the same result.

Kind regards

I had to re-install Windows and so I downloaded Firefox again and logged in to my account. I had sync turned on with bookmarks enabled but it wasn't syncing my bookmarks to my computer. I double checked that these sync settings were enabled on the Firefox app on my phone and I tried syncing multiple times. It transferred my passwords and other data but not my bookmarks. So I logged out of Firefox on my computer and phone, then logged back in and synced them together only to find that Firefox deleted all my bookmarks from my account completely (now they don't show up on my phone either). I looked at the forums and saw that they make separate profiles that I could access with about:profiles so I opened that and only saw 2 profiles, neither of which have my bookmarks. Is there a way to recover these since Firefox deleted them out of no where?

My windows10 laptop was destroyed, but I was able to retrieve the hard drive with all data in tack. I am currently using a new laptop loaded with Windows 11. I've been trying to find the bookmarks on my old hard drive to copy on a usb to reload on my new laptop with no success. HELP

When I open the Manage Bookmarks --> Import Bookmarks --> Browse I have no listed backups, even though I can see them in File Manager \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\c4i4a2zg.default\bookmarkbackups folder. I have copied the JSON file from my laptop which has not lost them but cannot select a folder/file location to import them, same for doing it via a HTML file.

I am stuck, thinking I may have to uninstall and then reinstall Firefox and then sync again.

When having restarted my computer and Firefox Nightly after a sudden power outage, all my tabs were gone. I need to restore them.

I went into the profile folder, but there was no session store file. Inside the backup sub folder i saw two large files, "previous.jsonlz4" and "restore.jsonlz4", and made a copy of both and placed them inside a new sub folder that I made, inside that profile folder.

An expert from the "Tech Support Guy" website ("Nader") told me, to open "about:support" and there to use the "Refresh" feature. I did this, but no tabs were restored. So I went into the profile folder again, just to see that it had disappeared and been replaced by a new profile folder! And therefore my two copies of the PREVIOS and RESTORE json files were gone, too, as they were inside a sub folder within that disappeared profile folder!

Now I need to know, URGENTLY, how to restore that folder and the files and sub folders within that profile folder. Thanks!
