I was reinstalling my windows and created a backup from my old firefox into my usb drive. My backup failed and coudn't be restored, I'm confident that I use the correct password, tried to copy the file from usb drive into my laptop and select it from there but the result is the same, if you guys would be so kind as to guide me on how to restore my backup, since my password and everything is in there. I didn't create another backup since I believe that this one would succeed. Thank you in advance.e

How can I get 24-hour clock format widgets?

When opening a new page in Firefox I am shown a few widgets.

It shows the time of sports events and different timezones. But it shows this in a non-local time format - the 12 hour format (so it says 06:00 PM instead of 18:00).

In about:config I found a setting called "browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.widgets.clocks.hourFormat" but what are the acceptable formats to use here? It's not a boolean value, and by default nothing is there. I tried writing 24, HH:mm, and some other things, but didn't notice a difference.

For at least a few months now, my browser will suddenly and randomly go fullscreen all by itself. I can't exit it, and then it goes back to normal after at most a minute. It hasn't happened in at least a week. But today, it froze like that, not responding. I quit firefox, waited a bit, then restarted it. It went fullscreen and froze again. I waited at least 10min and it then went back to normal and responded again. It only happens when using firefox. I've done virus scans, etc, and it still keeps happening. Please help. Thanks.

Friend lost saved & closed tab groups and temporarily the ability to save & close groups, updating brought back the ability to save & close but not the previous ones

So my friend uses firefox (not signed it) & called me over to ask where it's tab groups went. I come over to look & they're just gone. I look to see if I can save new ones, can't, so I update firefox to see if the issue is that perhaps. It brings the ability back, but the previously saved & closed tab groups are still gone. Going to the previous/default(?) profile thing didn't work, so we're not sure what to do. Still looking to see if I can salvage them from history or just find them but Twitter & Tumblr can be hell to look through, especially twitter.

Also I don't know what topic this would fall under, so the topic thingy may be incorrect.

Be careful. Something doesn’t look right.

Firefox spotted a potentially serious security issue with ebanking.bankmellat.ir. Someone pretending to be the site could try to steal things like credit card info, passwords, or emails.

ebanking.bankmellat.ir has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.
