Last week in response to a prompt I created a new Firefox account and agreed to sync all of my devices. One of those processes resulted in my losing all bookmarks from my Firefox browser on my laptop.
When I follow the "Restoring from Backups" steps here (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/restore-bookmarks-from-backup-or-move-them), under "Restore," only two dates appear -- both from after the date of syncing. So even if Firefox automatically backed up my bookmarks prior to the sync, I can't seem to access them.
Is there any way to find and restore my lost bookmarks?

There were a couple of posts asking the same thing I am, but no answers to either of the. You used to have that Theme and Font Size Changer but I hear that is not very useful anymore. Is there any other way to increase the text on tool bars and menus? It's just way too small. Text on web pages is fine but I can't hardly read the tool bars and menus unless I really squint. Why would you want to make it so terribly small with no way to adjust it?
After restoring a profile folder from backup, extension settings are lost

I just restored my $HOME/.mozilla folder from a backup (I closed Firefox, moved the old folder away, and the copied the backup folder to the correct location) and I noticed that while my bookmarks, logins, and extensions where correctly restored, all (?) settings from the extensions are lost. I had to reconfigure all custom uBlock origin filter lists, the Cookie Autodelete expression lists, the pwgen settings, and some others.
So to my question: since backing up the profile folder is obviously not enough to restore everything, is there some other folder or file I need to back up to retain the extensions settings on restore? Which one?
Thanks!

I don't want to see an icon next to every bookmark (it is always the same icon that looks like a folder). How do I get rid of them all? Thanks.

Why does the following happen? Firefox 67.0.4
1) In the options menu I have "Block all third party cookies" as the main option.
2) In "Manage permissions" I have blocked both http://google.com as well as https://google.com.
3) I remove all the cookies with the word "google" in them.
4) I do a single google search.
5) Again, I have 6 cookies set by google. :-(
The same thing seems to be happening with twitter and youtube (normally I don't visit either, but I occasionally unsuspectingly click a link taking me there).

I have tried over a dozen times to change my (according to you) PRIMARY EMAIL ADDRESS. My primary (according to mozilla) is [REDACTED BY MODERATOR]. I would like to tell whoever answers this, THEY ARE WRONG. The previous email is just an "ADD-ON". To my mind, MY PRIMARY EMAIL ADDRESS IS:- [REDACTED BY MODERATOR]. I do not know where you got the gmail address from, it is very rare I use it, except in answering your non-existant, technicians. WHY? Do you only use volunteers to get people like me sorted out???? What is wrong with employing people that have been trained to sort out this type of problem. When ever I click on "CONTACT US", all there is, is a list similar to that which led to that page? There are NO LINKS that take me where I want to go, not where YOU want me to go. I am 71 next month, and I NEED SPECIFIC instructions as to what I have to do. I have had a computer eversince the AMIGA 500. So I do need help to sort out what I want, NOT, as you keep saying, I must have what YOU want. If you cannot sort this out, I will be going elsewhere. I have used firefox for bloody decades. This could be ending anytime soon. I am totally fed-up with your website, beloaw are three pictures to explain what I need.

I was browsing the CeX website, when i got a BSOD about Video Memory, the PC rebooted and all is fine.
However when I opened Firefox and went back to the CeX website, all I get is a blank webpage, all other sites load no problems.
I opened the CeX website on chrome and IE and it opens no problem.
Are there any security features in Firefox that could have been activated because of the crash?
Thanks

With the latest version of Firefox (69.0) I am unable to choose 'Always Enable' for Adobe Flash Player. This is not helpful especially on my own website - www.cheadlehulmeweather.co.uk which I run.
The Adobe content is world city times and an image of the moon's phase. I visit my weather site each day and have to enable Flash every time. Why can't you allow the user to make the decision themselves how long they wish to enable Flash for? How about a list of sites it can be enabled permanently for? That way the user can make their own choice.

See details in attachment - WWF problem. I don't know if this is a browser issue, facebook issue or strictly the game issue, but it only happens to me when I play the game with one particular friend. I play with about 30 people, and never get this box that freezes my screen with them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The first attachment shows a box at the top of the screen, there's a circle spinning up there, but the text never shows up and there's no X to cancel it out. I have to refresh the browser to continue on.

I got an email from Firefox Monitor suggesting my email address was involved in a breach on a specified website. The site didn't appear familiar, but I attempted to log on and change my password as suggested. As I did not know of a password for this site, and it wasn't in my LastPass vault, I started with the "Forgot Password" process. The result came back that I didn't have an account on that site.
Why did I get a Monitor alert? Could this have any other implication such as identity theft perhaps? How should I proceed from here?
