Hey Firefox community,

Hoping for some smart advice here! Our company relies heavily on Firefox for daily tasks, including accessing our Gmail accounts. The thing is, we need to regularly back up these Gmail accounts – not just the browser's cache or basic downloads.

I've tried the manual Google Takeout method, but it's just not practical for ongoing, multi-account backups. It feels like I'm doing a "dance" every time, and it's super time-consuming.

My question is: What's the best way to consistently and reliably back up Gmail emails when accessing them through Firefox? Like how to download old emails from gmail just in a better way. Are there any neat tricks or perhaps specific third-party email backup wizard tools that integrate well, or are simply excellent at what they do, beyond the browser's direct capabilities?

I'm looking for a more automated or efficient solution. Any insights from those who manage significant email archives would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks!

firefox updated to 128 esr all of a sudden (i didn't click update or download for this) and when i went to open firefox, the appearance and everything changed. it looked like google chrome and none of my bookmarks and settings and layouts were there. they just DISAPPEARED. i tried googling how to to fix this and for some reason every time i search it takes me to another search engine instead of google. (this is beside the main point though). I'm so frustrated right now since all my bookmarks are gone (literally having a breakdown). I tried looking through the help articles and all of them just say to use the backup profiles or that there are bookmarkbackup files in my profile folders or that firefox would download a folder with files from the old version but none of that happened. I looked into my folders for older profiles trying to find places.sqlite files but NOTHING. there is literally NO backups or profiles dated to before July 16 2025; the day it updated (shown in screenshot) and there is NO bookmarkbackup files anywhere. i have signed in to firefox prior and had my devices synced for awhile and no issues so there should have been previous profiles and data saved onto my computer. Please help, I really need my bookmarks back!

Hello, I manage a healthcare education website (https://thelabon.com/contact-us/) and I'm focused on optimizing privacy and performance for users accessing our medical content through Firefox. Currently I have not embedded it yet I am using only an image of the map instead. What are the recommended Firefox settings, extensions, or practices to ensure user privacy, especially when embedding external tools like Google Maps or analytics services? Any guidance would be appreciated!

Good Day kindly note that i have tried my login and password, no luck i would like to change the password to see if that is the issue.

If that is not the issue i could change the login details.

Kind Regards

I have had this problem on several websites, but most recently Xfinity.com. Pages in their rewards page have buttons to accept a reward. These buttons don't show up in Firefox, but if I use Chrome they appear and work properly.

Hello,

How do I permanently show the top and bottom menu bars please ?

I have done something wrong and now the top bar only shows when I move the cursor to the top of the screen and the bottom bar has diusappeared.

Thanks !

I have a profile that causes odd behavior, within the profile, and to the OS.

Regarding the profile itself:

1. I use Multiple Tab Handler, which should allow me to move tabs on the tab bar with the mouse, but it does not (see image of proper behavior)

2. Normally, i can drag this padlock button to the desktop to create a shortcut. but now, it will not move/drag (see image 2)

3. I also have a backup profile from several months ago that has none of the above symptoms. However, If I substitute it's sessionstore.jsonlz4 file with the the one from the problematic profile, all the bad behavior mentioned above re-emerges.

I know this sounds strange, but, I also get external display issues when using the broken profile. These events are random, and manifest themselves differently, so I can't duplicate them. Essentially, these snips are examples of images from the taskbar tabs, or the clock area, suddenly superimposing themselves on the top portions of the taskbar toolbar area.

This is the view of my clock area (see next image 3)

In the following image, imagine that the portion on the left, that opens the start menu, is now hidden under what looks exactly like the clock area on the right, superimposed over it (see next image 4)

Those aberrations are removed by simply moving the mouse cursor over them, but they will continue to occur in any number of variations over any area of that top toolbar.

Is there a Session Manager that will save the session, to be later restored into that previous profile, but not also pass along the corruption?

For some reason, any time I try to click on a Facebook Reel or Facebook video, I receive the message,

"The page isn’t redirecting properly. Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete. This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies." I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox. I've tried using Troubleshoot Mode. Nothing fixes the issue. However, if I'm not signed into Facebook, I can search Facebook Reels and videos and display them just fine. It also works fine on Firefox on Android. So, the only problem is on Facebook (Firefox Desktop). If I'm signed into my Facebook account and I see the list of featured Facebook Reels, I can click on them and they work fine, but if I go to the person's Facebook page and click on a Reel or if I'm tagged in a Reel or someone replies to me when I tag them in a Reel, I get the same error message.

This started today 16-July-25, when scrolling on a web page whenever I stop scrolling with either my finger or my Dell active pen Firefox brings up a window with the site's images with a view button. I don't recall changing any settings or preferences, any and all help is appreciated. Leonard R.

Fix it. Tnx, Larry Yesterday I got a full page notice that told me my access to Firefox will be shut down because my Defender detected that I had stepped in some SHXT while visiting something in Firefox. They gave me a phone number of Microsoft something to call to fix it. I did not call because it seemed like malware, I guess it wasn't because soon after Firefox would not load. I will get this when I try: Says: cannot find server v3lpea6ndyxwl4.azureedge.net , I have run Malwarebytes and Defender and rebooted. Any ideas?

I downloaded the browser from the official website, but I can't log in. the usual login tab did not appear. I didn't find the authorization menu in the menu either. I downloaded and reinstalled it again, but it didn't help. how to solve this problem? thank you in advance

Logged into my Firefox account and after restarting the browser my tabs and browser history are gone. Every file in "sessionstore-backups" is also deleted and now only has two newly created recovery files. Why did Firefox delete my desktop browser session after logging in? Can I somehow recover my old session or maybe at least my browser history?

My Firefox account was initially set up through https://accounts.firefox.com.cn. With the new Firefox version, this login method no longer works, causing me to lose access to all my bookmarks. What solutions are available to recover my bookmarks from the https://accounts.firefox.com.cn account? Here is My Email: [email removed]

Bonjour, Depuis 1 semaine à 10 jours, il m'est impossible de naviguer avec Firefox. La lenteur est exécrable. J'ai dû mettre 1 heure à pouvoir afficher cette page, incluant tout ce que vous faites pour décourager les gens de vous écrire. Votre dernière MAJ doit être ratée. Avec Edge, je n'ai pas ce problème. La navigation est fluide. Je vais aussi tester Chrome. Cordialement,

At login some websites don't accept the username saved in Firefox (because they also don't accept typed in usernames). They require to select the username from a drop down list. (In my case it's a specific government portal with limited users, which are all in the drop down list). When I type in my username it will appear in the drop down list (which is actually only one field tall by then). But it is covered by Firefox's saved login button (which also pops up at the same spot). So I can't access the drop down list. Is there any way I can avoid the saved login suggestion from popping up?

I am a new convert from Chrome to Firefox and have been using OneTab to keep a list of current tabs. I recently started using Firefox TabGroups to create groups to store the tabs I open the most often. After a reboot, however, all 4 of the TabGroups I created yesterday are completely gone today. As I have a water-cooled system, and don't leave my computer on overnight out of best practices, I need to be able to shut down at the end of day and come back the following day and be able to use the same TabGroups.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!
