148.0 was updated today and somewhere the user profiles was changed; all website addresses for pw management were not able to connect. I have two computers on a home network; 1. a Digital Engine Win7 enterprise with Firefox ESR 115.33 operating OK, 2 is a CUBI mini Windows 10 Enterprise Firefox `48.0. I am in process of taking the windows 7 out of service and was doing some cleanup on home network and I noticed had a connection failure on the 2. machine. I looked at the browsers and discovered that the old firefox data is not on desktop as it once was, and I also noticed that the user profile for the about:profile was wrong. I need to restore the CUBI profile. I was moving some things around and lost continuity somewhere. II just remembered....there is a refresh on the control panel for mozilla. looks like this is going to work just fine. The old windows 7 makes a good traveling encyclopedia!

Ok I did a refresh; the machind took over recovered all the data files, repaired and cleared a path for restart of Firefox. and that failed due to a TLS handshake between Mozilla and Google.failed. I have mozilla, firefox, google and chrome accounts. All google accounts are logged out at this time; mozilla is logged in on the Win 7 machine and the failed refreshed machine needs to do the TLS....

Question: should I log in to google account and repeat a refresh? Seems like a dumb question

I answered my own dumb question.....I signed on to google and I guess Mozilla refress allowed the default browser to get the handshake but I noticed the settings were incomplete on my oped Firefox; once I set my tabs and prefs the web addresses were back to norm....I have a working pair of end of life OS PCs which are still going strong thanks to the Mozilla Open House! Thanks for the support. I have had a good day; Thanks to All. [edited] or [edited emails from community support forum] if you need a follow up or a kind word. Ed

Hello!

I have an imac 21.5-inch (late 2009) on my table with OS X El Capitan running on it. It has the following specifications: 1. Processor - 3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo 2. RAM - 8 Gb 3. Graphic card with 256 Mb

I have not been able to update the OS to run most recent Applications, and most of it, the web browsers are not updating as well.

What should I do to get through? Thank you.

Bonjour, La barre de recherche Google est "inerte" j ai essayé avec about:config,rien ne marche et il n y a aucune solution détaillée.Si quelqu'un peut m'aider d'avance merci.

Hi,

I’ve recently noticed that after a Firefox update, the browser has become very slow and unresponsive whenever I open multiple tabs, around 5–10. Before this update, I could open many tabs without any noticeable lag.

Now, new tabs take a long time to load, scrolling within open tabs feels choppy, and sometimes Firefox freezes for a few seconds before responding again.

I’ve already tried restarting Firefox, disabling extensions one by one, and clearing the cache, but none of these steps have improved the performance. I’m using Windows 10 and the latest version of Firefox.

Could anyone suggest what settings or troubleshooting steps I can try to fix this slowdown?

About a month ago, firefox started requesting i use a "USB key" when logging into hotmail or ebay. i do not have a USB key and have not knowingly selected that as an option. how do i turn that off. i can work around it but its becoming more annoying and seems to be spreading to other secure websites.

Firefox has reset entirely.

All of my profiles, bookmarks and saved passwords have disappeared; only history from this session appears. When I look at "Sync" I see the tabs from one of the profiles in the "Tabs from other devices"... it looks like Firefox thinks I have signed in from a new device, but I haven't.

The "tabs from other devices" lists the tabs from one profile under the correct device name. I am hoping all of the profiles, bookmarks, passwords etc are in there still. How do I "reclaim" these profiles on my laptop?

Where is this information stored so that I can access it?

Normally, I use the FireFox browser to access my gmail.com email account to view my messages. I am not sure what changed, but now when I enter gmail.com on my FireFox browser, I am not getting any response. I do not get the gmail display where I would view my messages. Additionally, I am not getting any error messages, all I get is a blank screen.

Is there any advice you can provide to help me resolve this issue ??

Names of screen parts are not clearly known to everyone. The ribbon along the top with back button, and web address, lacks the symbol to access the pull down menu for bookmarks. A very convenient feature that seems to be lost. Spent a long time trying to find it last year on a different machine. Convoluted process. Now not finding it.

I sent another help request on this subject but that too seems to have gone AWOL so I am trying again.

My passwords are being randomly wiped from my PC yet again but this time, although they are still on my Google Pixel 7 phone, Sync is not working for passwords. Strangely however, tabs are being synced.

I have tried every suggestion that I have found but syncing is just not happening.

To re-cap:- Passwords are not being synced from phone to PC Tabs are being synced between phone and PC.

Any suggestions?

Moderator note: This question has been edited to add a link to the previous question.

When syncing my account between browsers on other computers Tab Groups do not sync. I have to rebuild Groups in each browser. Also the Groups do not sync. I would like to see colors, tabs and positions sync throughout all browsers.

With the "Drag & DropZones" mode of the "Selected Text Searchers" extension, one can highlight some text on the page and then "drag" it, whereupon a screen of defined search engines appear as an overlay on the page, allowing for "dropping" of the text on top of any of the search engines, initiating using that search engine to search for the highlighted text. This stops working after 148.0: the search engines overlay does not come up, replaced with only the non-working icon on the mouse cursor.
