1. 1. 1. Notes

Fresh migration from Win 11 to Mac. tabs, passwords, bookmarks, plugins migrated from win to mac. Attachments:

For a few weeks now, Firefox desktop (on both Linux & Windows) prompts me on every start to create a new profile. I don't want to create a new profile, nor do I want to disable profiles completely, but most of all, I don't want to be repeatedly prompted. Another peeve is the repeated advertising of the new "summary" feature. New features should be offered *once* with an option to *permanently* dismiss the reminders! Failing this, there should be an option to disable the reminder in settings, without having to use about:config!

For the last 2-3 day I have been experiencing a box that asks for my signature each time I go to a new website. I can't move the box. I can't screenshot it. Does anyone know how I can get rid of it?

When I switched to vertical tabs in Firefox, the Hikcentral professional web client camera server page changed, part of the page appeared at the top, making it difficult to use and watch the camera images, and the image doesn't display properly. How can I fix this problem?

This just happened, (45 minutes). When I attempt to access a page or a file, when the page comes up on screen, it is a page of numbers and symbols. How do I remove these pages??

I can't open Firefox at all, so I downloaded Firefox again, before I got your message. The Crash ID: ⁨bp-958359b9-d3d4-4cba-aa19-4dcbc0260313⁩

That is the only one, not five crash ID's. I couldn't open Firefox to find an omni.ja file.

I can't import or access my bookmarks or passwords on the new Firefox I installed. Would you please be able to help with that?

Hi everyone,

I do a lot of downloading images in bulk for my neocities website and its really helpful for me to be bale to drag an image from say, tumblr, to my neocities tab and just drop it into the download box. I love Firefox but I couldn't find a way to use this feature, so I downloaded the QuickDrag WE extension, which allows me to drag and drop images from duckduckgo images, but not tumblr.

(for info I'm using Windows 11)

Would love to have some help on this! Thank you Kit

Lost my Passwords on my desktop and can't recover them through profile manager, I found them on my android phone and want to recover my passwords from there, but am worried if I try and sync to the desktop, the desktop might overwrite the passwords in the phone.

Tell me why I have no sound on Firefox and how to fix it. I do have sound on DuckDuckGo and AVG Secure Browser. I have checked my sound setting 55% and not muted. I have shut down and started laptop, still no sound. I checked Firefox updates and am good.

I can no longer access YouTube videos (video unavailable) with Windows 10 and Firefox. However, I can access them with Google Chrome. How can I resolve this issue?

bonjour, je souhaiterais éliminer les liens magnets pour un téléchargement automatique sur des sites P2P comme torrent 911 ou autre ? pouvez-vous me guider sur cette manipulation ?

bien cordialement

Several extensions were recently deleted without my input. Among them were Duck Duck Go Privacy Essentials, Keeper Password Manager, and Apple's iCloud Password autofill. I know there were others, but I cannot even recall which ones they were. Not sure if this happened after the most recent update or later, but it happened at some point in the last 24 hours given that today is 3-15-2026 12:30 pm PST. I only discovered this when a tab popped up in Firefox asking me to complete a survey as to why I uninstalled Duck Duck Go Privacy Essentials, which in fact I NEVER did. See attached pic. Nor did I uninstall any of the aforementioned, et. al. Thanks Mozilla for f'ing up my settings and overall browsing experience across all of my devices without my consent.

When I try to go into my google account for any reason and a few other websites, it will say use passkey or try another way. I have done both several times and Firefox ALWAYS FREEZES and I have to force quit. I have reinstalled Firefox, gotten rid of all cookies and cache, gotten rid of extensions and everything I could do from the help website but nothing seems to work. I have also reinstalled Firefox but the same thing keeps happening. I need HELP!

Description: I need help with the "Firefox Multi-Account Containers" extension.

The extension is installed and shows as "enabled" in my Add-ons Manager. However, the colorful container icon does NOT appear on my toolbar, so I cannot access or use the extension at all.

What I have already tried (none worked):

· Dragging the extension icon from the puzzle menu to the toolbar · Right-clicking on the extension icon (inside the puzzle menu) to see if there is a "Pin to Toolbar" option — but the option does NOT appear at all · Restarting Firefox multiple times · Restarting my computer · Creating a new profile in about:profiles and testing the extension there — still no icon · Disabling and re-enabling the extension

The extension is installed and enabled, but without the toolbar icon, I cannot create containers or separate my Gmail accounts. I really need this feature.

I have read that this might be a bug in recent Firefox versions. Is there a known fix? Do I need to completely uninstall Firefox and reinstall it? If so, could you please guide me on how to do a clean uninstall (removing all profile folders and registry entries) and then install the latest version?

My system is Windows (older version, if that matters).

Thank you very much for any help!

I've created a passkey for logging in to Google.

When trying to log in to Google within Firefox on my Pixel 9 phone, I'm automatically taken to the page where I should be prompted to enter my passkey, but no prompt actually appears, so there's no way for me to actually enter my passkey. (See attached screenshot.)

To be clear, I can still tap "Try another way" and log in using other methods, such as via an approval prompt sent to my other devices.

This problem does not happen on my Samsung tablet. When I try to log in to Google within Firefox on my tablet, I'm given the choice to log in via various methods, and if I choose to use a passkey, I *am* given a prompt to enter my passkey.

Any idea what the problem could be?

Hi, I opened Firefox to continue with my work, just to get greeted with a 'start a new profile' page. All my profiles, saved data, history, add-ons and customization, were discconected/removed. Even on my phone it logged me out from my account- logging back in doesnt retrieve my history from my previous sessions on my desktop device.

I tried logging in to my account, checking if theres an 'old firefox' folder on my device or anything like that, but it did not retrieve any of my old data.

Just to clarify, I have not played around with my settings, left or deleted anything, so I really dont understand why I've just came back to nothing.

Was wondering why this happened, how do I know this won't happen in the future, and if, when possible, how can i get all my data back?

Thanks
