Firefox Community Forum

I couldn't find a proper category for this. Why does Mozilla make it hard to figure out where to report a bug? And then once you find where you need to be, they force you to create an additional login (something EVERYBODY wants to do more than necessary) to actually report the bug.

Yay, just what I want to waste time doing. I was hoping I could create another useless account somewhere with a new username and password to fill up my password manager with more junk. Thanks Mozilla!

Brought to you by the UI designer who thought it would be a good idea to remove all semblance of separation or delineation between individual tabs. This guy probably defiantly refuses to shave a break in the unibrow he got teased for mercilessly in high school.

I formatted my HDD and reinstalled windows 10 pro again on same HDD and system. After installing firefox and loggin into my account everything got synced except Bookmarks. For safety i had taken backup of my old firefox installation profile folders.

However i tried to sync and also replace bookmarks file from old to new, but none of the things are working for me. In my last installation there is no file named places.sqlite but same is created in new which is causing my bookmarks not to load.

Please note that usually all my bookmarks was automatically backed up to my account and it used to restore back again automatically without the need to take extra backup. But this time my sync was unable to restore my bookmarks.

When i am trying to click options like import bookmark from HTML or Restore Bookmark from my backup file, sadly there is no action after clicking on relevant buttons. It is not just opening the dialog box for me to select file to restore the bookmark.

I tried all options at my end but of no use. Please help as there is bug which doesnt open bookmark restore or import bookmark from other file

Hi Y'all,

I have Firefox syncing to about 6 different systems (Windows, Mac, iOS) and have run into a situation where Firefox is wiping years of my synced data when I quit and restart Firefox. I sync all of items that can be synced and this has served me well for many years. What happened:

1. I logged on the admin account of a Mac where I previously logged in before and used Firefox with sync enabled. The machine had the initial Firefox short cuts: AP, Amazon, etc.
2. I enabled sync and did a 2FA but the my normal Firefox home page did not appear. So pressed the Sync now button to no effect.
3. When Firefox started, I did see the usual message that "It looks like you haven't started Firefox in a while. Would you like to refresh Firefox." I think that I closed that message but I could have accidentally refreshed Firefox for that account on that system.
4. I gave up and did what I needed to, closed Firefox, and logged out.
5. That evening when I was using Firefox on a Windows machine I could see that the sync information reduced to almost nothing from before the last day. The day I saw the saw the same and started to worry.
6. However, the Firefox on my main two Macs still had all the data. As a test, I deliberately closed Firefox on one of those two Macs. When I restarted, the synced data was wiped. This leads me to believe that somehow Mozilla's servers are holding the data based for the almost empty content of Firefox that I had on the administrative account that I synced.

So in other words rather than importing my data from Firefox when I connected sync, sync exported the settings of the Firefox account I was using in the admin account. I am writing this from my other main Mac which still has full information and I would like to force the synced information on this Mac to override or at least merge with what is on the Mozilla servers. Can this be done? I am 99% sure that if I close Firefox on this machine all my settings will be wiped. For now a I believe that I still have the correct sync data on at least this Mac, my iPhone, and few other Windows and Linux machines. I am in particular worried about losing the hundreds of passwords that I have saved. I forgot to check if the passwords were overwritten when I restarted the first Mac but I'll bet they were.

Thanks for any help...

I got a new desktop PC and used PCmover software to migrate all data, apps, and settings to the new PC from the old. Since that time, every time I sign into my primary password to access my passwords, I must repeat my primary password 3 times. What gives? This is getting annoying.

After one of the updates in March qrz.com is no longer displaying correctly. This was working before. When you lookup callsign W5WLG with Chrome you will see flags of different countries under the bold title W5WLG. This used to work fine on Firefox until about 2 updates ago. See the attached screenshots.

thanks wayne

Добрый день. В процессе использования браузера, вкладки самовольно перезагружаются. Играю в браузерную игру и ни с того ни с сего вкладка сама по себе перезагружается, выкидывая меня из игры. Это происходит по непонятным причинам. В настройках я отключил автообновление вкладок (about:config - accessibility.blockautorefresh: - true). Там стояло значение false. Но вкладки все равно обновляются без моего участия. Это происходит на всех моих профилях в Фаерфокс. Как это остановить? Это мешает мне пользоваться браузером и комфортно играть.

Dear Firefox/Mozilla Support Team,

I am writing to report a persistent issue that started occurring last week. Since then, I have been unable to properly load several websites, including WeTransfer, YouTube, ChatGPT, and some others. These pages either don’t load at all or are extremely slow and unresponsive.

While this problem started around the time I updated Firefox, I’m not entirely sure if it is directly related to the update itself. I have already tried clearing my cache and cookies, restarting the browser, and disabling all extensions, but the issue still persists.

These websites are essential for my daily tasks, and this situation is significantly disrupting my work. I would really appreciate it if you could investigate the issue and let me know if there is a known fix or any recommended steps to resolve it.

Thank you very much in advance for your assistance.

Best regards, Darja.

It would be nice if the sync function actually synced something other than just my bookmarks and my browsing history between my Firefox installations. I mean, I checked all the boxes, so theoretically it should...but no...it never does. Toolbars don't sync -- I know, for some reason that's "by design" (or laziness?) -- Settings don't really sync much (maybe a few do when the moons of Jupiter and Uranus are in perfect alignment).

Could you maybe consider syncing the various exception lists in the Settings?

Hi anyone got any suggestion on how to get the Firefox search bar in the middle of the page, like before please. I do not like using the search bar in the taskbar, i know. First World Problems!! ;)

Thank you in advance.
