I have a 2023 MacBook Pro and a Synology NAS. Fairly recently, when I have tried to access the web site for the NAS using Firefox, I have received the following error message: "Unable to connect. An error occurred during a connection to [the IP address].” I am able to access the web site using the Safari and Bing browsers, and I also am able to access the web site using Firefox on an iPad. I already have contacted Apple and Synology support personnel, and have been that the issue is not with either Apple or Synology products. Please let me of any potential solutions to this problem that Mozilla may have.

You haven't provided an off switch for this "thumbnail preview image of the webpage" on my taskbar? I don't want anything dropping down from my task bar on hovering over it.

This is a new thing, that Firefox for some reason thought was a good idea. Mouse hovering on my taskbar, and have a drop down thumbnail preview image of the webpage?


Thank you all in advance...  :)

The font size in "Manage Bookmarks" is way too large, both in the sections list menu on the left and the list of bookmarks. I checked my userChrome.css file as well as the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx entry in about:config and there's nothing there to explain why only the "Manage Bookmarks" text is so large.

It's possible I changed a setting somewhere that's causing this. But I'm stumped re: what setting might be controlling the font size in only that UI. All other Firefox text sizes are good.

Thanks to anyone who knows where I should be looking

An errant setting on my backup program wrecked havoc on my FF profile. I have a backup from two weeks ago which I can go back to, but I'm trying to figure out how to get my browsing history from the past two weeks over to the restored profile.

Some options I thought about: and for clarity, the newer but bad profile is still loadable, I've mainly lost all my extension settings and stored data

  • Is there any tool that would sync the entries from the newer/bad profile to the older/good profile?
  • If I restore the older/good profile, would FF Sync just add back in the newer entries -- which presumably it has saved in it's system over the past two weeks?
  • I believe the places.sqlite" file from the newer/bad profile is still intact. Should I just copy that to the older/bad profile?
