Firefox Community Forum

I recently got a new computer, Apple iMac. I'm trying to transfer all my bookmarks I have on my older HP computer to the newer computer Apple. I downloaded the Firefox browser to the iMac. I see where there is a link to transfer bookmarks when I loaded the browser. But, when I click on the link, nothing really happens? There is no transfer of my bookmarks for my old computer to the newer computer. My OS with my older HP was Windows 7. My OS with my acquired Apple is Monterey. Can someone be of help with transferring bookmarks from one computer to another? I have many bookmarks so it would be very helpful to be able to make that transfer. Thank you.

Noticed earlier today that after a Firefox update two icons appeared on the taskbar. Now I'm finding that whenever I try open Firefox from the taskbar it doesn't remember my previous session and looks as if I've signed out, Firefox behaves normally if I launch from the start menu.

I'm using Firefox Browser Windows MSIX package, mozzilla-MSIX - 1.0 v1.3.1.0 (64-bit). On Windows 11 Pro v23H2 build 22631.4169.

Win11 64 bit PC, using Firefox ver. 131, scrolling issues with the Times online newspaper. Used to work ok, just automatically scrolled up and down using the mouse scroll wheel. Sill works fine in any other browser. Downgraded to Firefox ver. 128esr, that works fine too. Something wrong with 131? Cleared cache, no extensions used on 131.

In ver. 131, the scroll works after hitting page fit and page fill, but you have to do that endlessly. The problem is somewhat intermittent, several pages may then scroll normally, then scroll stops working again, then back to page fit and page fill buttons. There are no error messages.

Today I suddenly had a problem signing in to my Gmail account, after I restarted my computer. Google requested that I clear my cookies and cache, which I did, but the error message persisted.

I contacted Google support and was able to access Gmail through Chrome, so they determined it is a Firefox issue.

What do I need to do, to get this issue resolved? Firefox is currently my default browser and I'd prefer to keep it that way but I need access to my Gmail.

Please help?

I was a huge fan of Fonts Ninja extension. I downloaded it from ADD-ON web page. It stopped working after a Firefox update, circa 2023. To this day, I am not able to enjoy this wonderful (typography identificator) extension, even tough I am able to dowload it and install it. What´s wrong? Yours, Simon

This crashing must stop...It is an annoyance that is troubling. 1st Reagan.com disappears (customer service), now constant crashing and not a word about fixing it, AFTER reporting it. Explain. Or lose a subscriber.

Can I go back to the earlier version of Firefox that synced well with google? If so, how? Otherwise I don't know what to do. I simply wind up in clear cache and cookies no matter how I try to get into my google account. I tried my google account on safari and it works fine. I have only had this problem since the most recent Firefox update. Do you think it's a flawed version that I need to purge and reinstall?

Hi,

I use Firefox (currently 131.0.3 arm64) on macOS (currently 15.0.1) and found, that after starting firefox and having minimized the browser window to Stage Manager and brought it back to the desktop once, it won't minimize again with Command+M or via the Window-menu. Clicking the yellow control at the top-left of the browser window still works but it's not very convenient.

Is this expected behaviour or is FF incompatible with Stage Manager?

Regards

Stefan

After finding out Firefox was storing over a gigabyte of cookies, I figured it might be wise to set it up to clear them except for sites I used regularly. However, I've recently noticed that Youtube will clear regardless. I've tried entering the domain both as youtube.com as well as www.youtube.com, but my video display preferences aren't retained. This doesn't happen for other sites, like Reddit or Tumblr. What do I need to enter in the exception list to keep my settings?

Currently on 131.0.3. Started having this issue around the time 131 dropped.

I press Ctrl-shift-O and bookmarks manager won't open. Bookmarks manager opens normally if I use the menu to open it. Keybind won't work in troubleshooting mode so I know it's not an addon, and the hotkey works fine on other computers with Sync enabled so I know it doesn't have to do with my synchronized settings. Also won't open with a fresh profile so I am very hesitant to reset all my settings.

I use this keybind multiple times per browsing session so it has had a major impact on my usage. Not sure what to do. Please help!

I'm going to try a graphics driver update in the hope that helps. This is on Windows btw.

With my previous FF installation, it would remember both the width and the last selection in the sidebar after closing and re-opening FF.

I just formatted and reinstalled windows and now FF simply would not remember the last sidebar condition.

I'm using Windows 10 22H2 and FF 130 64-bit.

Hi Team,

I am trying to write a firefox wrapper which supports 2 managed profile one runs in nomachine physical session and 2nd runs in nomachine virtual session. But when both firefox profiles gets launched , then 1st launch profile new instance or existing instance gives alert that "" another copy of firefox has made changes to profiles. you must restart firefox before making more changes."" while checking about:profile tab.

I am using below command to create managed profile

firefox -CreateProfile "${USER} <Custum Profile Path>" firefox -CreateProfile "${USER}-VIRT <Custom profile path virt>"

and then launching parent instance of firefox using below command

firefox -no-remote -P "${USER}" <Custum Profile Path> firefox -no-remote -P "${USER}-VIRT" <Custom profile path virt>

and then launching new instances using below commands:-- firefox -no-remote -P "${USER}" firefox -no-remote -P "${USER}-VIRT"

I am getting alert "another copy of firefox has made changes to profiles. you must restart firefox before making more changes" when firefox being launched using above method 1st time .

And If I am launching 2nd time, Then all looks good to me.

Please suggest some bash version command . Base OS :-- Ubuntu Jammy 22.04 Firefox version:-- latest

I'm doing a research paper with about fifty open logged in tabs. if I sent each one, one at a time, and re-logged in from all my tabs on my tablet/phone it would take about a half hour at least. What's the deal? I used to be able to do this. But now... there's no "sign in and sync" like the web help says. There's no "right click on the device" like Google says, there's nothing like what Bing says to do. Are you telling me that since tech and data has INCREASED, that abilities have DECREASED?! Please don't give me the diatribe that "it's a security issue" because it's not. Syncing is password protected. I'm on a windows surface pro tablet, I've tried it on my desktop, too. I've tried it on my galaxy s23 ultra phone (not the source of the tabs) and on my galaxy s6 tablet. nothing.

Facebook Messenger - when typing in the text box with a long message, the text is fine on the first 'line' but after it moves down a row (line?) the whole screen starts scrolling and the text continues in one line, never advancing. Makes most text unviewable.
