An errant setting on my backup program wrecked havoc on my FF profile. I have a backup from two weeks ago which I can go back to, but I'm trying to figure out how to get my browsing history from the past two weeks over to the restored profile.

Some options I thought about: and for clarity, the newer but bad profile is still loadable, I've mainly lost all my extension settings and stored data

• Is there any tool that would sync the entries from the newer/bad profile to the older/good profile?
• If I restore the older/good profile, would FF Sync just add back in the newer entries -- which presumably it has saved in it's system over the past two weeks?
• I believe the places.sqlite" file from the newer/bad profile is still intact. Should I just copy that to the older/bad profile?

In the past I could attach a computer picture into Hotmail and then drag it into the text body and scale it ie. a Christmas card. Now it will not allow the attached picture to be dragged into the Hotmail text. Why?

Firefox is already running, but is not responding. The old Firefox process must be closed to open a new window. I click on close Firefox, it go es away but comes right back with the same message. How do I get Firefox back? I right click on the task bar and when the info comes up, Firefox is not there.

Every time I try to go onto any site, I'm asked to solve a puzzle by sliding the missing piece onto it's spot. Every time I'm blocked from these sites.

What can I do to fix this?

Hi,

I am in the pharmaceutical industry and using ectd program, which is producing an xml backbone (directories) containing pharmaceutical information (pdfs). Only internet explorer can show this. Chrome has recently lost this ability. Firefox shows only some headings, like reading the index.xml only and not detecting the other directories. Is there an option/addon so I can view the contents correctly? I cannot attach the export of the ectd program (index.html & backbone/directories) so you can see to what I refer to, only the pics.

Thanks! Ryk

I can't get firefox app to open, I even have to open as administrator and then a window pops up but says it couldn't send the report. I have uninstalled firefox a dozen times and still have the same problem. When I could get on it every time I click on another tab it says tab crashed and to click on restore but it doesn't restore it. I downloaded that damn microsoft one drive and have had problems ever since I did it. I also deleted one drive but still have the problem. I hope you can help since I have so much stuff saved on firefox book marks. I have tried using the trouble shooting but it doesn't work either.

I have read elsewhere here in the Support Forum that "browser.shopping.experience2023 prefs" in about:config allow for the disabling of Firefox Review Checker. Alas, there are quite a few of them there! What specific preferences -- and what specific values thereof -- are required to disable the Review Checker in FF 133.0?

I will add that it would be terrific if one could accomplish the same goal via FF Settings.

I can no longer open my gmail in firefox. I need to open chrome to load my gmail and I never use chrome. So why can't I load gmail into my firefox account. Everything else is loaded except my gmail.

Been using Netscape then Mozill load since 1996. Today Jan 13 2025 I turned on computer (for 3rd time) and Mozilla is blocked by windows defender firewall

Also windows defender firewall se/ing is now in perpetual circle of processing request.

• Windows Smart App Contol is turned off.
• advance virus scan will not launch due to alpha characters will not populate, only numeric, even when switching keyboard languages.
• no error or alarms other than firewall is blocking Mozilla and Mozilla VPN.
• Nic and internet is working fine
• Client Microsoft Intune installed for work Account

Windows 11 pro, all updates to windows and Mozilla, virus and dell processed through January 10 (from history)

My MacOS is 10.13.6 (cannot go higher on this machine). Since update to 15.119.0esr , embedded map graphics are no longer showing. The map graphic sub-window instead shows "Sorry, we have no imagery here" in several places across the map. I am getting the same for multiple websites, including the location maps in Zillow.com . Google Maps works fine, and I think the problem is isolated to maps embedded in pages. Did not have this issue last week, prior to updating to 15.119.0esr. This is SO BAD that if it's not fixable, I want to revert to 15.118...
