I use McAfee as my security system. They recommend going to Firefox settings and disallowing random site connections. How do I get my system running again.

Latest McAfee scan shows 45 entries deleted and 2 browsers reset

Laptop running Windows 10 pro. Firefox 144. Is there a method for sorting firefox bookmarks into alphabetical order (yet)? I see from questions asked years ago that Firefox hasn't had a way to sort all bookmarks into alphabetical order in one go. Is this still the case? It seems hard to believe that the only way to do this is to sort each folder individually. I noticed that I can do this (and have done) on Android, but not on the laptop.

(If any relevance, I'm on Macos 12 Monterey) 'Installation and updates' seemed the nearest topic due to the 'update' part of it, since this seems to only have been happening since this version, or I have simply not noticed due to not having needed to know. But if you look at my two screenshots, you will see the issue. There simply is no About Firefox on my firefox. Neither directly listed on the menu, nor as part of the 'help' sub menu.

Is there, for the sake of learning, a simple fix, so that I donlt have to uninstall/re-install? or an 'about config' type fix? Screenshot 1 shows the menu Screenshot 2 shows help sub-menu As you can see, absolutely no About Firefox

And, only potential issue may be, as you'll see from the share data upload is that I've a lot of tabs open, as I've got a lot to get through toniught, and tomorrow. So, maybe, t=though doubtfully, it is because it isn't handling the tabs and this caused a menu entry to be missing? Surely not likely.

I have lost my tabs after the recent update. They used to show all tab groups in toolbar icon as mentioned here (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/tab-groups) in manage tabs section. Only the groups that were open are retained, the groups which were closed are lost. They contained important tabs which I haven't bookmarked. I didn't see any policy of removal of inactive tab groups after certain time, any help would be really appreciated. I use the desktop app on Linux.

Hi, I'll try to explain exhaustively my problem and what I've tried.

While looking at adding a new profile, I made a mistake and deleted the actual profile. Firefox immediately shut, and I made the mistake to open it right after...

It started from zero, as it had no profile to go into. Creating a new profile in the same time. I did this a few time, nothing changed obviously. I went to the AppData/Roaming path to find my old profile, which wasn't there anymore. I then managed to recover my profile files thanks to Recuva and EaseUS.

But now, I'm stuck. When adding the files in the newly created profile, it seems to roll back to the profile creation prompt (like import stuff from other browsers etc.). Copy/pasting only the desired sessionstore or the previous backup doesn't work either. It also tried to put the "good profile" in the Profiles folder. Firefox didn't recognize it, and I couldn't create a new profile from this folder in the Profile Manager as it said "this name is already used" etc. (it's a default-release) I then tried to edit the profiles.ini and install.ini to force Firefox on the wanted profile. Which succeeded and failed at the same time: it opened the right profile-folder, but without any session, bookmark... and back again to the profile creation prompt. And created a new empty sessionstore, prefs, etc.

Then I'm left with my recovered backup files and no idea how to import them...

Any help will be warmly welcomed! Cheers

image of problem Some, but not all, pages browsed throw up a "hamburger" menu, top left of the window. (the link above should link you to a screenshot taken this morning in Firefox 142.0.1 (64) running on Win11.)

The menu button floats eternally over the text in that top-left corner. This irritates me because I read text, and am frustrated by the browser covering readable text.

I can't remember ever (20+ years) needing the Table Of Contents of a web page. I use Mozilla Firefox's excellent Edit, Find if I want to jump directly to a key word.

Anyone who can suggest a perpetual dismissal of this menu button will earn my lifelong admiration!

I can deal with Settings, About:Config, and even RegEdit. Thanks, Chris

Hello.

After the recent update that added profiles to Firefox I have gotten them working on my personal computer but not on my work pc.

The option for creating profiles showed up once when launching the browser but I had to dismiss it at the time. Now I can't find the option to create profiles any more, I have followed the guides that mozilla have put out but the option physically is not there.

I have also tried reinstalling Firefox but that also did not work.

what do?

Thanks.
