Today I had a power outage. When I started the computer afterwards I noticed that session recovery in firefox did not work. Even worse: History and even bookmarks seem to not have not been written for 9 days. I added bookmarks in the last days that are lost now. The reason is likely that the partition which the firefox profile resides on ran out of disk space at some point. I freeded space on that volume and firefox behaved regulary, so I expected everything would be fine. Now it seems like I lost about 10 days (open tabs, history AND bookmarks) how can it possibly be that there was no warning about issues with writing to disk in Firefox?

Hello, I may be in the wrong place, but I do not know all the proper terminology or definitions. I use Firefox for my browser. I have for many years. Starting yesterday, I was unable to access my History, I tried the other items across the top of the screen and none of them are accessible. Somewhere I saw I should click on a menu button for finding history: I cannot find a menu button "in the upper corner". I kept looking for help and was sent in circles. I also kept seeing something about Firefox Accounts; and Firefox Accounts vs. Mozilla Accounts: I have NO idea what that means. I tried to sign in: no. So, I think I have created a Firefox account now, with a password and done the "reset". I also do not know what that means, but here I am. Please someone tell me how to get help: help that does not assume I already know the answer. Thank you.

Recently (and during the writing of this) i have experienced typing lag in Firefox. My input gets processed and handled, but it takes a little while, sometimes up to a few seconds, for the text to appear or the changes to occur (think of sending messages). I am currently on Firefox version 106.0.5, and have tried doing a safe restart ("Troubleshoot mode"), but the problems persevered. I have tried clearning cookies, cache, browser and login history, but the problems persevered. I am also not using the windows cursor text color highlighting, which was submitted as a solution to a similar problem a year ago. Thank you if you can help!

I just posted a question re: my pull-down bookmarks menu disappearing. I stated in the question that my bookmarks themselves weren't gone, just the menu. I stand corrected. They are indeed "gone", i.e. completely inaccessible.

I had to make a separate account just to post here but last night I was going through a lot of stress with computer issues, and had to semi-reset windows (lost all my programs, still have other files), I wasn't thinking straight and forgot to back up anything for my Firefox account and I have been trying passwords all day and I still cannot get in. It's gotten to the point where the Firefox Accounts login page asks me to give it a code from my email, I give it said code and the passwords still incorrect. If I can give it codes from my email, why can't I log in through my email or anything else?

I cannot reset the password because I would lose hundreds of saved passwords that I had stored in Firefox along with important bookmarks. I need to know if there is any way I can recover my account without losing my data, because I cannot afford to lose it at all.

So for my main gmail I have 2 step for obvious security reasons, but I want it to trust my PC so that I don't have to pull out my phone every time I try to access it. No matter how many times I click the option to trust this PC it always ask' for the 2 step, and I don't see the PC on the trusted list in my gmail settings. I have already added "mail.google.com" to the exceptions part of the cookie and site data settings, even "account.google.com" but it just doesn't seem to work. What is the obvious thing that I am missing?

Link doesn't display in Firefox but displays properly in other browsers.

Having an issue with a link not displaying in Firefox 105.0.5 (64-bit).

It’s the “read more” link on this url: https://www.swansonvitamins.com/p/swanson-premium-triple-magnesium-complex-400-mg-300-caps

The “read me” link doesn’t display in Firefox but displays properly using:

      Brave (1.45.123)
      Chrome (107.0.5307.107) (Hate Google)
      Internet Explorer 11 (11.0.170)
      Microsoft Edge (107.1418.35)

I searched “firefox some links don't display” and tried the solutions I found to no avail.

Tried these:

      Turned VPN off.
      Started in Troubleshoot Mode.
      Removed cookies and site data for this site.
      Turned Enhanced Tracking off for this site.

With all of these settings (at once, not one at a time) and closing and reopening Firefox (in Troubleshoot Mode) the “read more” link still doesn’t display.

Attached image showing how the link displays in Brave and how it doesn't display in Firefox.

Thank you.
