I guess it's just too simple for my needs. Without a field where I'm able to assign a recognizable name to an entry I'm in the position of having to memorize url's, instead of passwords. No gain. Frustrating!!!

A new Mac App I bought called "CleanMyMac" deleted all my Firefox passwords on my Mac, which was not my intention. (And shame on CleanMyMac for not putting up a warning message.) I didn't want that accidental deletion to be spread to my various iOS devices (causing me to lose passwords there too) so I have turned off Sync for now. I have since recreated my passwords on my Mac (and exported them to a file for backup) and want to resume Syncing. What can I do to ensure that when I turn Sync back on the newly created Password data on my Mac gets priority over the older (now obsolete) password data on my iOS devices?

In other words, I want the passwords on my Mac to replace (via Sync) the obsolete passwords on my iOS devices.

Is there are way to tell Firefox which version should have priority? It was a huge amount of work to recreate all my passwords and logins.

Thanks!

Hi, w11p latest d/l, FF dev 142.0b3 64b (no stable here). I tried to use this FF to log onto bleeping computer to post a question. Their "verification process" never completed. I went to troubleshoot mode to bypass extensions. Didn't work. So what will work here w/FF dev? I ended up using chrome which I keep wide open security wise, & of course is a PIA otherwise, but there you go. Advice? Thank you.

If I don't use the custom adjustments in my Chrome css, seven buttons on that right side of the menubar are hidden, including the min-max close buttons.

This is problematic when I'm troubleshooting Firefox, and the css is disabled. If I want to close or take the browser out of max mode, I must move those buttons to the navbar, which has no such restriction accommodating those buttons, not to mention why is it necessary for that min-max close trio to monopolize 20% of the menubar. Waste of space. Inefficient.

I'm also curious why must that frame at the top of this sites pages remains persistent, and follows the user down the page, so that when you're composing, and accidentally (and all to often) touch one of those links, it get superimposed over the message, and you must move the cursor to the bottom of the page get rid of it. Not to mention, that frame shrinks the working area of the page about 30% vertically.

I mean, once you have already navigated to the destination page, and you're composing, how often/likely are you going to need to access that area?

Firefox show's my location when 'Googling'

In 'about:config' I have my geo set to disable, I tried it enabled and turning it back, also in 'Settings' Location shows empty and I can not get it to see Google nor can I manually insert it.

Any idea what is going on please??

YouTube pages are not displaying completely. I can only see the selected channel. The right-side selection list does not display. YoutTube controls are greyed out or don't display at all.

Firefox loads in some images very distorted where they are pixelated and in negative color. It's not all images, it's also not on specific websites, it's just in general. Some websites don't have any problems and others are practically unusable. The icons in my tabs are often desaturated from their normal color as well, see the youtube icon for example the color is very muted versus the actual color of the logo.

Hello, Reinstalled Windows 10 and Outlook 2010 as the default email program. Firefox does not recognize Outlook to send links, and Outlook does not show up as a choice for sending links. Suggestions? Thank you.

I'm trying to make some changes to the Firefox homepage through userChrome.css, but no changes are being applied.

I have set `toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets` to true and my `chrome` folder is saved in the correct filepath: `AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\94fnqz8w.default-release\chrome`, so I'm not sure what could be causing the issue.

I've changed the code to just include one big change to see if it's working, though nothing seems to have changed:

``` .logo-and-wordmark { min-width: 100px !important; } ```

Roughly every 2 weeks I backup important files to a external hard drive.

One of the things I always backup is my Firefox profile. I have been doing this for years without any problems.

I 7zip my profile and copy it to the hard drive.

I tried to do this yesterday (July 25 2025), and was getting access denied messages for files in the profile. So I tried to simply copy the profile. Same thing access denied.

I cleared the history, used wise disk cleaner, rebooted my machine and tried again. Same thing access denied when trying to backup or copy the profile.

I am assuming that this is happening since 141 because I updated Firefox since the last time I backed up my profile, and never had a problem previously.

Could anyone have an idea what the problem is? Thank you for your time.

I accidentally uninstalled firefox on my phone. it was the only login i had for my account/profile and unfortunately could not find my recovery key or old password. I reset it (same device, with 2fa) however it said that it could not recover my data. no passwords, no bookmarks.

Is there any possible way to recover my password through mozilla I also have an ssd from a laptop with a login and iirc passwords. Could I use that? thank you.

I want to prevent a specific website from coming up as an autofill/suggestion in the search/address bar in Firefox. I keep looking all over the internet for help with this, but everything keeps saying that I need to click the three-dot menu on the suggestion when it comes up, and there is no such three-dot menu at all for me.

I do not want to completely clear all of the autofill/suggestions in the search/address bar, I specifically transferred all of that stuff over from Chrome because it makes things a lot easier. I just want to block this one specific website from coming up in this way.

Before anyone asks, no, I do not have this website (or any page from it) bookmarked. I have gone into the 'manage history' menu and selected "forget about this site" for it, and this has not removed it from the autofill/suggest.

It seems that scrolling periodically stops working, whenever I encounter nested scrolling on a page, eg. gemini.google.com with enabled canvas.

I scroll through the file, and then can't scroll through the conversation (However I can keep scrolling inside the file window). It usually starts working again in a few minutes.

It seems only whne playing a game at the moment but when you click the louse, it locks on and drags items everywhere and i have to click it several times to release, i know it must be firefox because i did try it on opera and don't get the same issue but i loathe that browser like the plague so would prefer to use this, would anyone have any idea please?
