Firefox is requiring a security key be inserted to login to Microsoft.
I have never had one and never used one. It will not allow any other type of login. This does not occur on IE or Chrome.

We use Datto RMM at work and when I go to launch the agent browser(The name of their tool) I get the above error. Most of the time I can close and open Firefox a few times and it will then work. Today however it will not work. I tried running FF in safe mode and still nothing. The setting under appilcations is correct and also the registry settings for the protocol cag are also correct. I can launch the software from IE which just makes me shutter.
Firefox no longer able to open SharePoint documents in app - "one of the following protocols (ms-word) isn’t associated with any program or is not allowed"

I've been using Firefox for many months and rarely had issues with this, but I've been unable to open documents from SharePoint to the MSFT apps on my computer for the last two weeks. When I have a SharePoint link that I need to open, one of two things happens: - if I right-click on the link and select "open in Word" (or whatever MS product I need), I get the following error message: "Firefox doesn’t know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (ms-word) isn’t associated with any program or is not allowed in this context. You might need to install other software to open this address"
- If I open the document in the browser and then select "Open in app," it indicates that the app has been opened but nothing happens.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

So i have gone to Tools -> options - > applications and changed the application in the drop down to both ask every time and my desired applications, and it always says this address could not be understood. I have also gone to about:config and enable the handler.expose to true. And no magnet links work i have to go to chrome for it to work. I have tried with torrents and other magnet links and none of them work

I created an email and when sent it disappeared and did not show in sent, trash or copy to my wife. In the Explorer file folder it showed as the most recent folder. It had the Firefox logo in front of it and when trying to open it stated it cannot find it under C:/user/bill/(subject of the email). Where did this email go? Why can't I open this folder?

Hubspot ( Wordpress ) widget NOT appearing - on my website www.chromaesthetics.com -- using other browsers - chrome, chromium, opera and midori -- NO SHOW HERE ON FIREFOX. I HAVE disabled ( safe mode ) all extensions and add-ons to no avail.
Other floating widgets are working ok, like my menu . . . please go to the site and see for yourself. The floating Hubspot widget shows up on phones.. . and all other browsers on desktop. Of course, this is Linux . . . NST . .. BUT same issue is with BrazilLX ( debian ) and Manjaro . . i run all three on my design desktop. MY website builder says it shows on Windows in Firefox. So it must be a Linux Firefox exception. Any suggestions?
After a Firefox session restore problem, I lost my entire browsing history and can't seem to get it back

When I restored a previous session from Firefox after a laptop crash, instead of restoring to the supposed previous day it went back to a session that happened 2 months ago. I'm not sure why this is, but the more important problem came later.
So I tried fixing that by going into the Firefox profile folder and restoring previous versions of the sessionstore files. Unfortunately I wasn't making any progress and at one point reopened Firefox to see that my entire history disappeared. I'm not sure how this happened. I know the history is stored within the places.sqlite but in no way shape and form did I go near that file.
I used ShadowExplorer to find an earlier version of my profile folder and copied and pasted it as a backup. I used the places.sqlite from that but I was still getting an empty history and it was also not recording any more new history. I also tried pasting the entire backup profile folder onto the main profile folder. And I tried creating a new profile and transferring my places.sqlite there but I get the same result. However my bookmarks are still there.
Is there no way to get my history back? I'm guessing it is a corrupted places.sqlite. Is it possible to repair the places.sqlite? Sadly I don't have any knowledge on how to use SQlite shell to repair it myself. It would be nice if someone could do that for me! Strangely, the places.sqlite file size is 10240kb, which seems a bit too small for my entire history.
I'm terrible at explaining things so I apologize if it was hard to follow. I'm distraught about this and pretty desperate to get my history back. I'd appreciate any help.
Why does Sync prompt me to install "on another device" when this is the fourth or fifth active device I've logged into the account with?

Over the past few days, I've logged into Firefox on a few new devices - mainly, a Windows partition on my computer, and on a school computer.
In both instances, after logging in, it doesn't give me any indication of being finished - instead it prompts me to "install on another device". Most recently, on this computer, it asked me to send an SMS to my phone to login to Firefox Sync on my phone.
This would be reasonable, except for the fact that I'm already using Firefox on my phone, and have it actively logged in with the account I'm logging in to. When I go to look at my devices on accounts.firefox.com, I have 6 devices listed, including my phone "last seen 7 hours ago" and my main computer "last seen 3 hours ago". It's clear to me that these are active devices, and that I don't need to install on any other devices to get sync working.
The main reason this is annoying is that I don't get any confirmation that I've completed logging in - only a prompt to do something unnecessary. I can work around this by simply ignoring the prompt, but I'm concerned for other less tech-savvy consumers who might be confused, thinking they're still not done when they login to Sync on their second device! Imagine someone logs into their phone first, and then the computer - it'd be pretty confusing to then have the computer ask them to sign in on the phone.
I personally was slightly confused, and had to double check that bookmarks were actually syncing and that I hadn't accidentally made a new account or done something to erase my previously logged-in devices...
