I accidentally uninstalled my Firefox browser, fully updated, on my Windows 10 PC, with Google search engine. A folder appeared on my desktop entitled Old Firefox Data. I have downloaded Firefox again but how do I transfer all the old Firefox data onto the new browser so that I have all the old information back in the same place?

After forced Windows 10 shutdown, Firefox starts up with a five months old session. I need the last one

Can I find a kind of backup of my last session in my profile folder? I need windows and tabs. Bookmarks are not affected by the shutdown

(Setting is set to start up with last session (windows and tabs)

When i register a new computer it freezes on Sync and i wait 15 minutes and even not 1 site synced. i already have 3 PC in Sync,, but i need it in one another PC but Sync freezez, i have tried 2nd new PC at my office and still same plroblem. i added 2 nd email, also downloaded APP on phone, signed out and then renew,, but no result. please fix it and send me an answer ;) in this PC it is synced already.

I have selected the option to update when I want. Why am I subjected to constant harassment? Every tab, every window, every EVERYTHING, I am asked if I want to update or dismiss. Please, for the LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, please stop.

I know that my browser is out of date. I know there is an upgrade available. I am literally considering no longer using your browser because every time I open it, it asks me if I want to update. Even if I updated 48 hours ago, there is usually some newer feature. I DO NOT WANT TO UPDATE MY BROWSER EVERY DAY OR EVEN EVERY WEEK. SO STOP ASKING ME EVERY TIME I OPEN A NEW TAB OR PAGE. You are literally making me dislike your otherwise very good product.

Hello,

I have a huge problem with Shortcuts not syncing in the main page. I have my shortcuts organized and pinned how I like it but every single time I sync new machine or mobile, the shortcuts are not being synced and they are completely out of place and sometimes gone on my main machine. This cannot be like that and should be properly synced.

This will be a long question and in 2 parts, so I'll apologize up front.

1. I am running FireFox on my 11-year old MacBook and love it (MacOS Mojave version 10.14.6). However, my printer just crapped out, and my new HP 9120e requires MacOS Big Sur (11.x.x) or later. If I update to that OS, will I still be able to use FireFox? If so, where do I find it (see Question 2, below)?

2. Since my old MacBook is clearly reaching the end of it's life and my Excel and Word apps are also ancient, I am trying to transfer all my stuff onto a "New" MacBook that is running MacOS Monterey version 12.0.1. However, the "New" computer (I will not say "improved") has been a reliability nightmare and I just had it in for service. They wiped my disk clean to install the Monterey OS. So, other than Safari, I have no browser (or anything else for that matter). When I go to the App Store to download FireFox, and don't see it anywhere. Help!

bold text I want to recover my account just as it was one week ago. My computer crashed a few days ago and I am having a night mare getting all my accounts reentered. I am a 77 year old senior citizen and some of the instructions are just too complicated for me. I appreciate all your help. I love my account and I am lost without it.

when attempting to move Firefox bookmarks to my new computer, I click import data within the Firefox page. The computer asks me to select the file. I have no idea where the bookmarks reside and cannot find a file. What is the procedure to get this done?

Hi- I'm trying to setup two step in Microsoft Authenticator. I scan in the QR code from the Mozilla settings and that appears to work. However when I copy the generated code from the app and try to enter it back into the settings in my browser it tells me the code is wrong and thus I can't setup two step. I've tried loads of different authenticator apps and none seem to work. Can you help please? Thanks- Adrian.

WHAT IS THE POINT IN HAVING RECOVERY KEY IF IT DOES NOT WORK? AND NO I DID NOT ENTER IT IN CORRECTLY BECAUSE i COPIED AND PASTED IT FROM THE ORIGINAL. iS THERE REAL NO WAY TO GET ALL MY BOOKMARKS BACK?

Transferring bookmarks & backups for passwords is easy and I'm not worried about that. But the about:config settings that I have customized and accreted over years so that nothing beeps, spins, auto-plays, loops, or throbs a tab, are not so straightforward. I'd like to review what files I can save how to make sure I do not lose these, which are the most important things to me about my Firefox installs--keeping the web safe for quiet, nondistracting searches and reading.

Windows 10 Enterprise, managed by my organization, but with just enough admin privileges to customize my Firefox.

I have hundreds of bookmarks imported from Google Chrome, Safari and Firefox on older computers. Many of the bookmarks are duplicates, and many located in different, misnamed sub-folders should be moved to more relevant folders.

The bookmark manager is not the easiest tool to use for reorganizing bookmarks because the Results Detail section changes its focus each time a bookmark file is dragged to a different folder or sub-folder. This forces the user to bounce back and forth in the Bookmark Manager in attempts to find the sub-folder they cleaning up.

If the contents of the Bookmark Manager could be downloaded as a CSV file or spreadsheet; more query tools could be implemented to reorganize the data. Once that is accomplished; the Bookmark Manager could be purged and the organized data could be reinstalled. That would make the Bookmark Manager operate more efficiently and therefore more quickly.

Why does Mozilla say insane things like put your passwords in a safe place? Mozilla just today made mine disappear. Can the morons at Mozilla understand the problems this has caused? I am through with sitting before this machine trying to get thru this B S ! Want to help now? Give me my G D password manager back... Safe... what a D joke.

I have pinned many shortcuts on a Firefox startup page which I use everyday. I want to move those shortcuts to a new device (Win PC to Win PC) but I cannot find any option for that.
