I am trying to transfer my "bookmarks" from my old Dell computer to a new H P. If it is possible, this would save me a lot of work because I have a lot of bookmarks on my old dell that I still use. Thank you

Thank you in advance. In my Firefox settings, "Open in new tab" is currently set to "https://www.google.com/". I'd like to change it to "https://www.google.co.jp/", but no matter how many times I try changing the settings, I can't get it to change. I've also tried installing the "New Tab Override" add-on, but nothing has changed. I'd appreciate any advice you can give me.

Firefox began crashing a few days ago and has crashed during each log in and use today. Most recently trying to download and print documents. I have disabled all extensions, have text file of the Third=Party modules and Submitted Crash Reports.

So, like so may others I had to purchase a new computer with Windows 11, and with that comes all of the switching over of all the data. I reinstalled Firefox, and just naturally assumed (knowing I shouldn't assume anything) that all of my bookmarks and everything else would transfer over once I reinstalled Firefox. Not so. And now I'm wondering how I get everything from I'm guessing my "old profile" from the Windows 10 computer, to the new Windows 11 computer. I'm not the most computer savvy person on the planet, so I have to kinda take is slow. If someone could help me bring back everything I had before, that would be great! If that's even possible. But I thought that Firefox stored all that information just for times like this.

Thank you,

Windows 11 Pro on Lenovo ThinkCentre. I switched to ESR a while back, when the regular and ESR versions coincided. All updates since then have worked fine, until now.

When I allow Firefox to update to 140.3.1esr from 128.14.0esr, then the Firefox browser no longer works at all. It comes up, but entering a URL (by typing or bookmark) does nothing and goes nowhere, so I can't use the internet at all.

I had to use Macrium Reflect to restore my system drive to an earlier time to get back on the internet, using version 128.14.0esr, which lost some recent bookmarks, etc. I have tried this twice, with the same result.

Now, a couple of sites no longer work because they say the browser isn't current.

What can I do about this? I hope I don't have to switch to another browser, because there are Firefox extensions I use all the time. However, I can't use a non-updatable browser indefinitely, because more sites won't work.

Can I fix this?

Thanks for your help, AnneF

Hello

I'm trying to connect my Yahoo Mail to Thunderbird, but after authentication with yahoo, i get this error right after in Thunderbird:

"Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password."

even though the username and password are correct.

ive even tried to use an app password with no resolution.

Hi. I have used Firefox for years and had a well-organized set of bookmarks (over 100!) and al my associated passwords saved. I was using them just fine last week but when I launched my computer this week, all were gone. I noticed that a new version of Firefox was installed on the 14th and when I launched on the 15th, nothing was there. Instead, I got the yellow banded message that many users saw saying that bookmarks may not be available. I followed the instructions and tried following several methods to recover my bookmarks but nothing has worked. Can I revert back to a version where my bookmarks exist? This is confusing and aggravating beyond words because all these methods seem to offer slightly different approaches. In addition, the only backup folder I can locate is dated Oct 15th, AFTER the update that wiped out all my bookmarks.

I cannot locate Adobe Acrobat extension to install in Firefox, v143, operating within Windows 11. I had previously been able to install this extension in Firefox operating within Windows 10.

I have an old website I no longer use, but my former employee and his family have email addresses on it so I've left it up. The domain is sangelproperties.com - There are 4 pop3 email addresses set up. The WHOLE family accesses email via the web interface at sangelproperties.com/webmail (which redirects to port # based address). His wife and two daughters can login in no problem. But HIS gets rejected (user name or pw wrong). He's typed the pw in, copy and pasted, I've changed it for him to be sure it's right, etc. etc. etc. That said, I asked him to try Chrome just to eliminate the possibility that it's FF and voila he can login on ANY browser (edge, chrome) but not FF. I downloaded FF and set security to be the most zealous possible, checked, unchecked every security and privacy option, and I was ALWAYS able to login to his address no problem.

Crazy stuff. One of those "one in a million" situations. Does anyone have any thoughts?

Im using a lot of web notifications. Where can I find a list for advanced preferences options I can use on web alerts under config://about?

Like ui.alertnotificationOrigin etc

Bonjour, Depuis deux jours, je ne peux plus me connecter à ma banque, alors que tout fonctionnait très bien auparavant. Pouvez-vous m'en expliquer la raison et me dire ce que je dois faire. Cordialement

A little over a week ago, I noticed icons for the shortcuts on the start page started showing wrong icons for some of them. For example, gmail and reddit show youtube icons and this behavior continues even for the favorites. X(Twitter) also has a generic icon instead of the normal one. Is there a way to force refresh on these or some way to correctly apply site icons?

Old bookmarks not showing up in Firefox on new computer. It seems to merge all Edge bookmarks onto new Firefox on new computer. Is there away to get old Firefox bookmarks backed that were synched?

I upgraded to Firefox 143.0.4 and lost all of my Bookmarks. How do I find and reload my Default Profile? Also, I cannot load anything in Firefox I am forced to use Edge which I do not like at all!!!!

As the subject says Firefox wont auto update, I have to download the Firefox Installer to update.

Setting says :- Firefox is being updated by another instance

But what interface? How can I fix this? I did have Firefox portable but got rid of that and installed the full package.

Any help welcome

thank you,

Bob

Hello

When trying to visit some websites the connected server returns timeout in Firefox. Attempting exactly the same site from out Edge it answers at once.

The machine is a up to date Windows11 pc with an active Mozilla VPN.

Should I change some settings? How can I find out the reason?

I have just bought a new computer running the latest version of Win 11pro and the latest version of Firefox is installed. When I click on a mailto link it will not open, I have looked on the internet and as usual the instructions to do this and the you will see this, bear no resemblance to the reality of what I see on the screen and statements such as alter this but it does not say how. This is extremely annoying to this 80 year old non computer literate person especially when the mailto link works on my old computer running Win7 pro with the same email and internet programs installed. I have Edge, Opera and Firefox as internet browsers and use Thunderbird as my email program. Can anybody explain ALL the steps to be taken in plain English to cure this problem please?
