Firefox Community Forum

Hello,

I'm using Linux Mint 17.3 (Rosa). Firefox version is 78.7.1 esr-linux amazon. I want to update to the latest Firefox that would work with this version of Linux Mint. It seems maybe this can't be done anymore. Looking at Firefox software on the machine, it says it's Up to Date. I really still want to update it. I know Mint 17.3 is really old and will replace it. Firefox does work, but I'm now getting sluggish Internet because Firefox can't handle all the security requirements. So many web pages don't very well anymore. Can someone help?

Well I did send a rather question about 5 minutes ago, not sure if I am repeating myself. Bottom line is how do I reset my Mozilla password as I cannot log into my mozilla account.

last year (not sure whenO my firefox crashed and so my grandson put me back on the older Google Chrome which I did not like because I could not get my bookmarks on easily. I have attempted to get back on firefox, and seemed ok at least i got my bookmarks. I also thought I had created a password, but most of the time I can not log in to some sights. My email address is always the same rosehallmanorbj@comcast.net. So my question is, am i actually completely set up in firefox? at one time I thought I created a password to log into firefox but it does not allow me in. Please let me know it I am totally with my account, and if so how do I get a password to log in. Thank you.

I was asked to create a new profile in order to keep using Firefox, despite never having an account. After I clicked okay, it opened the new version of Firefox, but without all the passwords, bookmarks and history of the past few years. This is really inconvenient. I have since then made an account, but the fact that I can't find any of this data anywhere has me worried that every time I update Firefox it will wipe my account.

I am being blocked by newyorktimes.com. I have tried access after disabling all my extensions and preventing tracking for this site. It makes no difference. This just started happening. It is not a problem with my accoun\t as I can acces the site with Microsoft Edge.

Roughly every 2 weeks I backup important files to a external hard drive.

One of the things I always backup is my Firefox profile. I have been doing this for years without any problems.

I 7zip my profile and copy it to the hard drive.

I tried to do this yesterday (July 25 2025), and was getting access denied messages for files in the profile. So I tried to simply copy the profile. Same thing access denied.

I cleared the history, used wise disk cleaner, rebooted my machine and tried again. Same thing access denied when trying to backup or copy the profile.

I am assuming that this is happening since 141 because I updated Firefox since the last time I backed up my profile, and never had a problem previously.

Could anyone have an idea what the problem is? Thank you for your time.

After the 8/5/25 Firefox update the internet is inaccessible on my laptop through the standard Firefox browser. The internet is accessible with MS Edge. Toolbar is set to always show bookmarks but none appear. Also, the browser's application's menu does not open to access options such as restore previous session, recently closed tabs, etc. I've restarted my device several times without it resolving the issues with the standard browser.

The Firefox developer version opened in command prompt safe mode (firefox -safe-mode), which is how this inquiry is being sent, but no bookmarks on tool bar or current page history from the standard (non-developer) Firefox.

I'd like to return to accessing the internet using the standard Firefox version with its bookmarks, history, etc. I am using Windows 10. Thank you.

Bookmarks, History, Downloads are all gone missing. Can't restore them, tried failed. Been using Firefox since Netscape Navigator, Don't want to change browsers. Can bookmarks, history, downloads come back or do I have to change browsers because this small problem. thanks [edited email from public]

how can I get the DATE & TIME of a Mozilla Firefox internet search in my history file???

I need to have this info to help document some fraudulent credit card problems and when I had contacted Microsoft.

Thank you for your time and assistance ahead of time!

Hi, Today 8-7-25 Mozilla automatically upgraded to version 141.0.3. Now all of my bookmarks are gone. I can't find them on my pc. There are two profiles listed in the profile section. Neither seem to have my bookmarks. I have a lot of bookmarks and some are very needed. Please help me recover all of my bookmarks. Thank you, Geo
