Hello! CCleaner accidentally deleted not only cookie-files of Firefox, but all the history too. I've tried to recover the "places.sqlite" file with such softwares as Recuva and HstEx, but it didn't find the "places.sqlite" anywhere on hardrive, including the Mozilla folder in AppData. Is there any way to recover history? For example, with Firefox account synchronization.

Thought problem was just on MyPoints when viewing videos but occurred yesterday at InBoxDollas while playing a game.
- 9/15 - Attached is one of the video screens with the website slowing...... In this group Postables - almost all had this come up. Sometimes just froze there & when I refreshed screen this ... website slowing.... came up & I had to StopIt for video to continue. {Often the screen would be Black as attached shows, sometimes black with an x in the middle so I refreshed}**
Last night I deleted History (except for personal.). Opened MyPoints this morning & went to Postables where half or more of the videos had this popup line stating Website slowing...... & I had to keep clicking on StopIt. I went to the video in image I added but the 2nd from there had this popup - slowing website.... So I guess deleting history helped some perhaps - but is still there. {Searched last night & all the ideas/thoughts listed to stop this went back to 2016. Before deleting History, I went to registry & searched for Firefox Pioneer and also Shockware - None were found.
Firefox frequently stutters, lags, and results in severe input delay

This has only been happening for about a week or so, but it seems to be getting gradually worse and worse to the point where I'm considering just using another browser. Basically what is happening is that whenever I'm using Firefox, it will very frequently stutter/lag. And by "frequently" I mean once every 2-4 seconds. This stutter hangs for about another 1-2 seconds before any inputs I attempted will suddenly and quickly catch up.
For instance, if I'm typing (like I'm doing with this description) it will regularly hang as I type for about a second or two. I can still type while it is hanging, but nothing will appear on the screen until it finishes its stutter, then it will suddenly just display everything that I typed.
-Important note: When I say "hangs" I don't mean in the tradition sense where the browser goes unresponsive. The browser does not freeze. In the case of me typing in a text box, the cursor still blinks as if it is waiting for input. If I'm watching a video, the video will continue to play, etc. What is "hanging" is literally my ability to input anything.
Another example: Scrolling. I'll attempt to scroll, then it will hang for a moment, then quickly jump to the location it 'should' have scrolled to.
This goes for literally any input. And Like I said before, it seems to be getting worse and worse gradually over time. It started as a negligible little hiccup that happened randomly. Then it got more frequent and more pronounced. Now I can't even type a full word without it lagging out. Just earlier I was watching a youtube video and tried to click my mouse to pause the video... but the video didn't pause for a full 3 seconds until after I clicked my mouse.
Things I have done so far:
- I made sure I was using the most recent version of Firefox (69.0)
- I downloaded chrome to test if that gave me the same issues. It did not. Everything worked super smoothly.
- I looked at the resources Firefox was using in task manager and Firefox uses about 530mb of memory, and hovers between 4-11% of CPU usage.
- I have already attempted a restore for Firefox, which did nothing to fix the issue.
- I've made sure my graphics drivers where up to date.
- I've disabled hardware acceleration in the settings.
I've been using Firefox for over 12 years now and I really don't want to switch browsers... but I don't know what else I can do.

man i wonder why in firefox forum, one cannot just post a question directly? i have to go thru several layers of whatever before i was able to finally to post this question!!
in other normal forums, once you login and go to a particular topic, right there is the big, post a question button. right in front of you!! why can't firefox do the same??? why we have to jump thru several layers!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? i'm getting the feeling mozilla doesn't want to be bothered.
PLEASE PROVIDE A "POST A QUESTION" BUTTON ON EACH FORUM TOPIC!!!!

For the second time in a few months, my browser pops up a new tab with a big red page claiming my computer has been infected and all kinds of badness is happening. And Windows itself becomes completely locked up. I needed to take it down for a hard boot. Upon recovering my system and looking at my browser history, I see that there is a huge pile of calls to some purported service: arrideral.info -- so the computer lock-up would seem to have been due to some (assumed) Javascript running in some site which is running the multiple calls and bogging down Windows to the point where it is unresponsive. Obvious malicious intent. How can I avoid this? (BTW I got this info from wa-com.com: "Arriederal.info is registered since 10 September 2019. Arriederal.info IP is 167.114.45.229. Arriederal.info is hosted in Canada (Montréal, Quebec). " )

When I click a link in an email and it opens in Firefox, my bookmarks are not available (the Bookmarks toolbar has getting started in it, the Bookmarks menu has the standard Mozilla Firefox folder and nothing in Other Bookmarks). If I click on my Firefox icon in my taskbar the window that opens has all my bookmarks available. Any suggestions as to what setting need to be changed so that no matter where Firefox opens from the Bookmarks are available?

I am a very organized person and I expect my bookmarks to be neat and organized. I noticed yesterday that my bookmarks were all jumbled and out of place. My folders were no longer nested but all unorganized. Fortunately, I had a backup, so I restored it, only for it to get jumbled again. So, I signed out of all devices, selecting to delete everything. So, I imported my backup, and everything is fine. I logged back into Firefox on the computer that I imported the backup to, and again, everything was screwed up.
So, signed out again, chose the option to delete everything and restored the backup again. That is where I am right now. I am thinking something is corrupt with my account, but I do not know how to fix it. I was hoping that someone could help me. I have looked through the support documents, but I have yet to find one that helps me. I am running Windows 10 on four computers, Linux Mint on one and three Raspberry Pies with Raspbian. I also have two Android phones. I have had this setup for quite awhile with no problems until now.
Stop auto "Download" of videos on web sites

I like to read news online from sites like: Foxnews, CNN, CBS, WSJ etc., and I have limited data available (Metered Service). On almost all of these sites I was able to stop auto play of the video by disabling auto play options, and adding disable HTML5 auto play extension when some sites managed to bypass the disabled auto play option. However, that didn't stop the sites from downloading the videos. I've tried everything that I've found online: content blocker, no script extensions, etc., but nothing seems to work. Does anyone know if there's an answer or a solution to this problem, or will I just have to limit my online site visits as some other forums suggest?

Hello and thanks in advance for your help!
For many years, the content management system that I have been using has worked just fine with previous versions of Firefox. To access the backend area for a client of mine to edit their own website I built for them, they would go to their website and hit Control-Y on any page of their website. This would bring up the login prompt window so they could login and start live editing their site. Now, when I hit Control-Y, nothing happens.
I saw a previous post that mentioned adjusting (allowing) keyboard shortcuts in the settings area. I did this but unfortunately, this didn't solve my issue.
Can someone tell me why this no longer works with Firefox and what the possible fix / workaround might be?
Thank you so much!!
How to reduce the number of rows for "Recommended by Pocket"?

I love pocket, but there are WAY TOO MANY rows of it for me to even bother with. I need to be able to reduce this to one row so that my highlights are not 20 articles below it. I tried dismissing each one, but now I just have 6 rows of blank pocket cards.
I have added an extension and the fonts are crowded and almost not legible. What can I change? Before my computer was wiped clean, I did not have this issue.
Please refer to image, nothing else is showing up this way.
Why, with Firefox 67.0 (64-bit), does Thunderbird 60.7.0 (32-bit) ignore the running Firefox instance and starts, instead, the default profile to handle links?

Hi, all.
On Windows 10 Pro (64-bit), I run Firefox (64-bit) and Thunderbird (32-bit), each with two profiles.
Until this afternoon, when Firefox updated to 67.0, clicking on a link in Thunderbird would open a new tab in the currently running instance of Firefox. If Firefox was not running, it would open "Profile 1."
Now, Thunderbird will only open links in my "Profile 1" Firefox. If I have "Profile 2" running, Thunderbird ignores it and starts a new instance of Firefox using "Profile 1." With both instances running, Thunderbird opens a new tab in the "Profile 1" instance.
I updated to Thunderbird 60.7.0 (32-bit), but it did not change the behaviour. So, this seems to be a Firefox change. Is there a way to go back to having the running Firefox instance handle the external launch of links?
This is the behaviour that I want: clicking on a link, anywhere, will open it in a new tab in the currently running Firefox profile, only opening the default profile if Firefox is not yet running.
Thanks in advance!

I have 6 websites that automatically add the sites to my bookmarks, even when I am not on the site. I went there once and somehow they are populating my bookmarks with 100s of each site. Also, my folders are being duplicated. The attached image shows a sample of my bookmarks. When I set my mouse on the down arrow to scroll to the end, it takes 115 seconds to roll to the end at about 3 seconds per 40-line page scrolled. Current rough estimate is over 1600 bookmark/folder items. I went thru the editing 2 weeks ago, removing all unwanted bookmarks & folders.
