Firefox Tekoha Aty

I opened up Firefox just now to find that my two profiles currently in use are completely inaccessible. I was faced with a "Create Profile" dialogue that launched me into a brand new profile with none of my settings, keybinds, cookies, extensions, anything. Despite this, I know for a fact that my old profiles are *still* there. As you can see my profile folders are right there, with all their data intact as far as I can tell from inspecting their contents, yet they are not accessible from the about:profiles.

Please help me. What is happening with the profile manager? How do I access those old profiles?

Hi all, I'm having an odd problem. For some time now, whenever I look at a list of programs on my computer, Firefox shows up twice. In the last week or so, a new problem has cropped up. When I click on a link in Thunderbird, Firefox opens, but it's like I'm in a totally new instance of Firefox. My browsing history doesn't exist, it will not remember that I have already told Firefox to always open Zoom when I click on a Zoom link, and if I'm streaming a radio station, that tab will be in a separate window rather than in a new tab as it was before. What's going on here?

I've 3 Facebook Profile. One Is Default, Second Is Social Media And Third Is Work Profile. All 3 Profiles Settings Are Similar Like Remember History, Remember Cookies, Remember Site Setting Etc. I've Facebook, Twitter, Instagram Login In Social Media Profile. I've Gmail Login In Default Profile Where I Use Google Products. I Dont Have Social Media Accounts Logins In Default Profile But Still In Settings->Privacy & Security->Manage Data. It Shows Facebbook, Instagram, Twitter Cookies And Same Shows In Work Profile. But When I Clear Facebook, Twitter, Instagram Cookies From These Profiles, All Social Accounts Logins Are Automatically Signs out In Social Media Profile But Cookies Shows In Social Media Profile. Another Instance, I've Gmail Login In Default, But Google Cookies Shows In Another Profiles Too. And When I Deletes From Their, Its Logs Me Out Here In Default Profile. So My Question Is, Whats The Point Of Having Facebook Profiles? And Because Of This Reason I've To Set Settings To Remember History. Still, It Logs Me Out From My Accounts. And It Happens Every Single Day. Totally Frustrating, Annoying. And Because Of Frequent Log Out, Login Issue My Google Account Was Blocked By Google. Need Solution On This Issue.

I use scoop to install firefox. then i changed the default profile to the Scoop profile. Then i tried to log in the mozilla account but it keep saying that it cannot continue because cookies or localstore are disabled. Then i checked the about:support page like i said in the titile, many configs are blank. Maybe some problems with the profile i guess. I also opened a issue in Scoop githup repo, they cant reproduce my problem. Where could go wrong? Any help would be appreciate!

And this is the issue i post on github https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Extras/issues/15770

I have 2 separate firefox profiles that are open at the same time. I made a shortcut to open the second profile as a new window but it still shows up in the original firefox taskbar. How can i make it so the second firefox profile can be clicked to minimize and maximize the window in the taskbar? in the picture im hovering over the original firefox icon and whenever i press the shortcut icon it make a new window with profile 2.

In the past, I would create new profiles in Firefox often on my macOS Macbook pro. I want to merge them all together (merge open tabs and their saved info, cookies, bookmarks, passwords, etc.) into the same profile.

I found this tool: https://github.com/james-cube/firefox-session-merger but I'm not sure if it will do everything I want to do.

Is this possible to do without using Firefox Sync?

Since updating Firefox to 140.0 (I am currently on 140.0.2 on macOS Sequoia 15.5), when I launch a Firefox window using the non-default profile, that window is not able to load any pages. When I try to close that window, it either requires me to "force quit" it, or if I wait long enough, the Firefox crash reporter appears.

When I first create a new profile, it works. However, after closing that window, or restarting Firefox, the non-default profile can't load pages and eventually crashes.

Things I have tried:

• Deleting all profiles and re-creating them.
• Using new-style profiles instead of the ones managed by `about:profiles`.
• Visiting a local address using an IP address to rule out DNS issues.
• Starting with the non-default profile (using the new-style profile switcher)
• Starting the non-default profile in troubleshooting mode (the browser crashes when trying to restart)
• Clearing the startup cache in the non-default profile (the browser crashes when trying to restart)

Hi - Firefox placed an 'Old Firefox data' folder on my desktop and I am unable to delete it. I'ver tried third party apps, logging in as administrator, command line delete, uninstalling FF but am still stuck with it and my network settings are wrecked so I can't re-establish connection to the internet on that machine. Anyone with any suggestions as to how I get rid of the 'Old Firtefox data' folder ? Many thanks...

updated my wife's computer firefox to 115.24.0 (esr) and the profile data is lost (bookmarks, addons...).

Went to about:profile and it says PROFILE IN USE: default esr which is the 5th out of six profiles, top to bottom. It should tell me the creation date for each profile.

The 6th in line says "profile: default -release" Is the last in line the NEWEST profile? Should I set that one to be active ( ie the "default profile)?

This usage of the word DEFAULT in multiple meanings is confusing The display should number each profile and tell the user which is the oldest to newest.

This is acting like it is a new version, not a mere update - the user should be warned before he is allowed to perform that process, and given links to what will need to be done to retrieve the previous Profile.

I just update firefox but all my none of my bookmarks loaded. I share my computer with my husband. He has a different account on this same computer and his bookmarks are showing up on my side, but mine are nowhere to be found. Previously we have had separate bookmark lists and all was fine. I don't know where my bookmarks went.

How do I get them back and put on "my side" and still have my husband's on his side?

I did not ask for and do not want profiles at all. It seems this was added when firefox updated? How do I get back to the old version with no profiles. It also lost all my bookmarks etc. Help would be appreciated.

I have a bunch of profiles set up via "about:profiles". Some of these are associated with different Mozilla accounts, some are not. Today, I wanted to rearrange those profiles to put some older profiles that I do not use as often lower on the page than more recent profiles. I thought I remembered there being an overview text file that included a number for each profile, the folder that profile's information was stored in, etc. When I went looking for that file, I could not find it, so I went looking for help articles and discovered that there is a new profile management tool.

When I tried using the new profile manager via "about:profilemanager", none of my current profiles are visible, so I cannot use that tool to reorder my profiles.

I would be grateful if you could point me to an article explaining how to reorder the profiles in "about:profiles". If that is not possible, I would appreciate a help article explaining the rationale for making these two uses of the word "profile" distinct, the ways in which these profiles are different from each other, and how to transfer settings from the older version to the newer version. I have everything set up just the way I like it within my current profiles and really do not want to have to recreate them from scratch...

With the new update came profiles, which is pretty useless for me. However, it bugs me that the firefox icon on the taskbar now has the profiles' star on it. Is there a way to remove this?

After a recent Firefox update my bookmarks went missing. Mozilla informs me that to recover them I need to go to about:profiles. There the "Launch profile in new browser" button is missing. Mozilla instructions advise me to click on it to begin the process to recover my missing bookmarks. If you know of a way to recover the missing button or know of another way I can recover my book marks I'd appreciate it. Thank you.

I have been using the old profile manager in Firefox. How do I migrate to the new profile manager? When opening it, none of my profiles from the old manager are there.

I have tried manually copying files from the old profile to one I created with the new manager, but no bookmarks, passwords, or anything was saved, only extensions.

What do I do? Will Mozilla release a tool of some sort?

hej, you write oh dear, no print is possible :-((( but you write to me, that I have win10... but it is a new machine with win 11...and firefox does not work, i cant se my mails?!?!!?
