Firefox Community Forum

I worked with a tech support team to update software on my computer. After the update they did a clean up on my computer today and I lost all of my firefox passwords. How can I recover these passwords?

Thanks. Bruce Tremont

und Könntet ihr eure hilfe auch mal auf deutsch machen dann könnte mann wenigstens was lesen ode alles extra übersetzen zu müssen

I am running Firefox 148.0 and Thunderbird 148.0. I am in the process of moving everything to a new (to me) computer that will run Windows 11. When I start Firefox from the start menu or the taskbar everything runs as expected. I have the Adblock Plus extension plus several others running. If I click on a Hyperlink in a email in Thunderbird instead of opening in a new tab into the currently open copy of Firefox as it did on my old computer running Windows 10 it opens in a new window with no extensions. I am assuming that I have something set incorrectly. Any help as to where I should look to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated.

I have turned all search features off in settings and changed all relevant entries to False in About:config and it is still happening! Why did this change, I do not want this, I did not ask for this and I want it to be returned to how it worked before! NOW!

I have always been able to delete unwanted cookies from Firefox at any time by opening "Manage browsing data" (in Settings - Privacy & Security - Cookies and Site Data). It shows me all of the cookies by site, and I could always select which ones to remove.

(I have my Settings at "Custom" for Enhanced Tracking Protection, with some permitted exceptions in Manage Exceptions, but do not want to delete all cookies on closing the browser, as I need some to stay permanently e.g. bank and gov't web site cookies.)

Since I updated from the last 147 version (it was 147.0.4) to 148.0 in the last day or so, I can no longer do so -- but only in one of my two work computers. On the main one, I can open the "Manage browsing data" pop-up box, but it will NOT scroll down to show me any of the sites. I know there is data there -- the "Clear Browsing Data and Cookies" pop-up window shows I have 46.9 MB of cookies & site data -- but the "Manage browsing data" pop-up box will not let me see any sites, unlike before.

The Manage Exceptions pop-up box ("Exceptions - Cookies and Site Data") still allows me to scroll down and see the permitted web sites and their status (e.g. allow for session) but the "Manage browsing data" pop-up box will not do so.

I have re-booted my laptop several times since this problem started (I use Windows 10) but it persists.

I use Custom Settings for History, with none of the 4 boxes there checked.

On the other work computer, I upgraded it today from 147.0.4 to 148.0, but the above-noted problems are not happening. I can still see the individual cookies in the "Manage browsing data" pop-up box. To me their settings look identical, but who knows?

Any ideas or suggestions?

Up until a few days ago I was able to preview yahoo mail attachments (e.g. PDFs) before downloading them. I don't know what may have changed, but I don't recall doing anything on my end. Any suggestions or advice on what settings I should consider changing greatly appreciated. M

On a dual-stack network, with Windows tcpip6 ‘disabledcomponents’ parameter set to prefer IPv6, Firefox ignores this setting whenever an endpoint resolves both an IPv4 and a NAT64 address.

While monitoring traffic captured while connecting to sites in Firefox, if the initial DNS request for the site comes back with an IPv6 address only, the connection attempts from client’s IPv6 address to destination IPv6. If DNS answers come back with IPv4 and IPv6, the connection attempts IPv6 to IPv6. If DNS answers come back with IPv4 and a NAT64 address, Firefox doesn’t even attempt to connect to the NAT64 address, it immediately defaults to IPv4. I’ve tried disabling the IPv4 fallback setting which doesn’t change the behavior.

We’re running version 140.8.0esr. Is this behavior intended for Firefox? Is there a way to configure Firefox so it doesn’t ignore NAT64 addresses in dual-stack environments? The only way I found to force this was to completely disable the IPv4 stack on the client system’s NIC.

I keep losing passwords on Microsoft and I depend on Mozilla. Is there a way I can print a copy of all my passwords to hold in a file myself in case everything goes wrong. I am 77 years old and a lot of this is just too advanced for me.

I have notification that someone charged to my apple account. Sure it’s a scam but I cannot delete it from Firefox app. I’ve shut phone down and closed the app but it still is on my phone

Since Firefox updated to version 148.0 it has broken my ability to download any extension and I get that Installation aborted message for any extension I try to download.

It also broke my ad blocker, ublock origin, when it updated to 148.0

Hello. I am having issues accessing my email account using the Firefox browser. I use Mail.com. When I go to Mail.com and try to login, I get a page with an error message, code, and request ID. The status code is 429. The message says too many requests and the request ID is aff3b7138f66aa8ba82f43c2af68621e. Does anyone know how to resolve this??? I will also reach out to Mail.com to see if they can help. Thanks!

When I tried to log in to my account earlier today, I found that it was gone. I used my recovery key to create a new password and now lost all data, passwords etc. What do I do now? Why did this happen? I am not very computer literate but have tried all of the suggestions in your help forum and nothing works. Nothing has changed on my computer since my last login yesterday. Firefox is my home page and browser.
