Hello. I'd just like to ask how I can transfer my browsing data from MS Edge Dev (which is chromium based, aka like chrome) to Firefox. When I go through the usual means, it's not there except the shit that is the original Edge and the joke which is Internet Explorer. I don't get chrome as an option as I don't use it, since Google is crap. Is there any way that I can do it, by importing files myself (and if so, which ones) or something? If there's no way to do it, at least I hope the Mozilla team see this to implement it, I doubt it's hard but I don't know.

When you choose a private window in Firefox, it is supposed to confer some privacy. However, I now observe that the private window appear alongside an ordinary search window on the Task Manager View, This is open to anyone viewing the Task View window in Windows 10 - ie anyone with access including the OS provider, and other similar.It remains at least for the duration of the window being open. Is this possible to correct or is it a flaw in the "privacy" concept? Thank you A Crail

I am looking for an add-on to show analog clocks with different time zones on the RIGHT hand side of the window. I tried foxclocks and it puts it in the bottom or top. I really need every micron of space in my browser window from top to bottom, but have space to space on the right hand side.

Hello,
I have two PCs running Firefox where I save passwords for website logins. Some of the passwords change because of expiration requirements and over time the data on the two PCs diverge. How do I merge the save password information. Resolution of duplicate entries would be nice to have, but a simple merge would be a good start.
Thanks in advance for any help.

This happens almost daily, or even while Firefox is open. The ONE folder of bookmarks (on the toolbar) that I use mostly keeps going away. I have to restore bookmarks which always fixes it but it's a silly hack, Where do they go to begin with? I've seen questions similar, but not exactly the same? When the bookmarks leave, where do they go? Firefox hell?

Hello,
When watching videos on YouTube, Firefox begins to use up to 50% my CPU. This only occurs when I select the youtube tab. Weirdly, the same does not happen if I start Firefox in safe mode, although it does happen if I start Firefox normally and disable ALL addons. If anyone has a clue what to do, please share it.

Auto starting your application on every system reboot is presumptuous. I don't want every application I have installed on my computer to automatically start when I boot my machine. That would likely be impossible due to memory constraints. Why do you believe Firefox should be auto started? What if every application enabled this feature (which is possible) by default. It would be chaos.
Please, simply create checkbox in the easily accessible Options menu allowing users to choose to automatically start Firefox on Windows startup. Don't enable this by default and hide the setting in the hidden about:config toolkit.winRegisterApplicationRestart settings.
Thank you.

I have run across a couple more websites that firefox 69.0.3 will no longer allow me to log into from my PC. I have turned off all my ad blockers and anti tracker plug-ins but sites that I used to be able to get to while using windows 7, I can no longer access with windows 10. Has anyone else experienced this problem? One of the websites I can no longer access is the T-Mobile site. I can access the T-Mobile site using Firefox from my phone, but not my PC. Thanks for any help. Rgds

I have 2 pc's and it happens on both.
Then Today, I got a new laptop, and I get the same thing. I click on the captcha button, and it goes to a check mark. But the other browsers send me to a check list to fill out. On firefox, I get aq check when I click on the captcha, THEN The captcha expires before I get signed on. I can sign on with microsoft's browser, and chrome. I have cleared the catch, etc.
On my new laptop, the same thing happens and since his was the first time to sign on at kellogg's, there was nothing saved.

I was using FVD Speed Dial and all of a sudden I lost it months ago. When I click on it in extensions it says the following: "★★★ Firefox accidentally disabled all extensions, they will fix it soon ★★★ Firefox certificate expired and ALL add-ons got disabled! Please be patient, do NOT remove any add-ons, Firefox team is working on a fix." I use to use Super Start and I lost it so I got Speed Dial because Firefox recommended it, (which they still do) and now I can't get it. I would think after several months it should be fixed. That is what I used as my home page and I had things saved that I have lost. I would really appreciate some help.

Help!!!! I don't see any way to get rid of Yahoo as Firefox's default search engine. I have selected Google as the preferred default, and have chosen to remove all of the other choices. Yahoo is not one of the choices to remove, which I suppose is a clue! I'm leaving Firefox until this can be fixed. Yahoo is simply not an acceptable substitute!

I had to completely wipe my machine yesterday. All of my desktop bookmarks from Firefox are still available on Firefox for Android (on my phone), however, syncing my FireFox account has not restored those bookmarks to my desktop.
I went to Library > Bookmarks > All Bookmarks and then to Import/Backup > Restore, however, the only file available to restore is from this morning when I downloaded and installed Firefox back to the machine.
Firefox on Android says it needs to sign in again. I'm concerned that doing so will wipe out the desktop bookmarks that are still stored there.
