I lived through the days of Mozilla will no longer work with the extensions i loved and used. BAM just overnight F me. No one cared I wanted to use them, they were just gone. Now I wake up this morning, reboot my computer and Firefox is acting weird and half the open windows have no bookmarks and no passwords and my recovered Firefox windows do. So I go to save my bookmarks, so i don't loose them. Done. I go to export my passwords, F ME. My ONLY apparent option is to use my Mozilla online Firefox account to allow them to be synced across my devices. I DON'T WANT THAT. Did anyone ask me if sharing my saved passwords with Firefox was a good idea? NOPE. Did anyone care what I thought? NOPE. Did I get a warning, nope. just BAM, you are F'd. Now instead of working on HUGELY pressing matters I am having to deal with this BS! I am REALLY starting to hate Firefox! Not just mad at, or unhappy with, but really F'n HATE it.
I bet some smart guy is gonna tell me i should have read the update notes.... Yep, I got time for that. So Yes you are right I brought this on myself for not reading the update notes.., but Geesus, really? I just don't have time to read every EULA, UPDATE NOTE, BUG FIX REPORT or all the other crap that everyone and their brother who is a lawyer wrote, so I could not have any clue what I am reading anyway. HUGE changes and you can't give a guy a solid warning? Seriously next time just warn a guy that you are about to take away his bookmarks and passwords unless he saves them first. F**K ME!!!!!

Version: firefox-70.0-1.fc30.x86_64 [Fedora 30. GNOME. Wayland]
I tried running with --safe-mode [all extensions disabled], but it kept happening. Does the following match any known problem?
I don't have any crash information recorded by firefox. So I've tried running it in a terminal instead and capturing the console output.
- No firefox crash recordings
The crash report dialogue does *not* appear when Firefox crashes.
Firefox support articles also suggested I look in "about:crashes". However when I visit "about:crashes", Firefox just says "Hmm. That address doesn’t look right. Please check that the URL is correct and try again."
In "~/.mozilla/firefox/Crash Reports/submitted/", there are several files but they are all older than the current month (November 2019).
- Console output

When I click a link in VS Code or Slack they'll both open in a new Firefox window with no extensions (so new profile I'm guessing, but I'm still signed in on it) instead of the existing Firefox window. Some apps like mailspring open in my existing Firefox window correctly. Or when I open a googler link in my terminal they'll also open correctly in the existing Firefox window.
I have tried going to about:config and changing browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external from -1 to 3 and it made no difference.

I have a dual-boot workstation with CentOS 6 and CentOS 7. Both installations have the same version of Firefox, v68.2.0esr and both systems are fully updated. When I boot CentOS 7 after running CentOS 6, Firefox insists on making a new profile because it thinks it can't use the old profile. That requires me to sync, customise, set preferences, et cetera. That's a PITA.

There are several posts on this site regarding uninstalling Firefox. I am running current Firefox on current W10 64bit 1903 desktop PC using Ethernet with Spectrum as my ISP. I am having a couple of problems in Firefox that are not happening in current Chrome. 1. Page-not-found 2-8 times a day that resolve every time by simply clicking the "retry" (or something close to that) button. I reset my router to "factory" and installed most current router firmware but that did not help. Netgear Support has been unable to help. 2. In current LastPass addon, I have to re-login to LastPass every time I start Firefox - did not used to do that (a year ago), and in Chrome or Edge that does not happen. I have re-installed the LastPass add-on. I have upgraded Firefox many times and have cleared history/cache many times. So now I want to COMPLETELY remove Firefox, reboot, and then install Firefox from scratch. Can someone please point me to the web page that tells me how to properly remove all of Firefox so that I can re-download/install it from the beginning? I do not care about retaining my Firefox settings or other from my current Firefox install.

Hi there, recently firefox has become almost unuseable. i believe i have discovered why.
every time we open firefox it always checks for updates, until this is completed it wont load any pages. this process takes about 30 seconds and is aggravating when u are just looking for a quick search.
is there any way you can allow me to disable updates or can you patch it so the update checker doesnt stop us from using the internet.
i have tried literally everything in your support, refreshed, safe mode, reinstalled, firewalls, antivirus, everything.

I had some trouble with FF Sync yesterday and wound up restoring bookmark backups on all my four PCs (3xWin10, 1xWin7) before I re-synced. It is a good system as designed - but I found that one of my W10 PCs had only two backups, and all of them had huge gaps in the saved-bookmark dates. A few sequential, then a gap of weeks or months and another set - but hardly any more than two days in a row. And old backups are pretty useless to me. This is odd because have been I using FF as my main browser for a while now - I would expect consistent backing up every day. So why are the backups so unreliable? Is there anything I can do to make sure FF backs up every day (like it is supposed to!) ? My FF installs are kept up to date. It is a worry, any suggestions/explanations most welcome!
