Firefox Support Forum

i lost my bookmarks and saved passwords data saved in my account by resetting the password.

Please help me how to get my bookmarks and saved passwords data.

Firefox worked perfectly, but since a few days I can't download anything. I'm using Mozilla Firefox snap for Ubuntu 22.04, version 110.0.1 (64 bits) canonical-002 - 1.0 With Chrome everything works perfectly so I assume it's a problem from Firefox.

When I open a PDF, a MP3 or any file, the "save" option doesn't display anything. Usually it opened a dialog where I could choose the folder where I wanted to download the file, but now I have nothing.

I have only 4 extensions: - adblocker ultimate - duckduckgo privacy essentials - vuejs dev tools - zotero connector

I always had them and I never encountered any problem.

Dear friend,

I am kindly asking you to help me in downloading apps and movies etc...in Firefox Private Browsing. I will be glad if you show me some of the steps or procedure in downloading.

Kind regards,

Firefox updated today and all of my previous bookmarks are gone. How can I get these back? The latest backup on my computer is from 2020 so that is not an option. My browser information/bookmarks was working perfectly when I closed out last night. I need that information.

I want to stop Firefox from silently updating in the background during browsing sessions. When it finishes updating like this, currently open tabs stop working and I can no longer open new tabs. The only fix is to restart Firefox. This is a problem if I am, for instance, going through a set of web forms as the information I enter will then be deleted and I have to start again.

When I have used Firefox on Windows, the requirement to restart Firefox to install updates has always been indicated by some change to the settings button on the top right of the window. With Ubuntu, the update is downloaded and installed without any action from my part, and given that it is quite disruptive this is unacceptable.

I have tried a number of ways of changing this, none of which work. Under the general settings tab, there are no options for changing the way updates are handled. Settings under about:config appear to do nothing. I have app.update.auto set to false, and app.update.notifyDuringDownload is set to true. I have attempted to circumvent these by setting a policy using the policies.json:

{

 "policies": {
   "DisableAppUpdate": true,
   "AppAutoUpdate": false,
   "BackgroundAppUpdate": false
 }

}

None of these have made the slightest change to how Firefox handles updates.

I am running Firefox 110.0.1 (64 bit) on Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS, but I should point out that this has been a problem for the last several years of Firefox versions on the same OS.

Ive tried all the forums with support and none of them worked. Troubleshoot mode works and fixes the scrolling but even after disabling all extensions and themes the scrolling still does not work. I've done the refresh page and uninstalled and installed. Scrolling works with all other programs but not firefox.

Hi

Little thing really but still slightly annoying. why cant i move the Extensions button? I personaly have no need for it on my browser and i really dont like it there! thats where my bookmarks button sits. I use Firefox because its the best and most customizable browser available, so i struggle to understand why this one button is uncustomizable. Please could you unlock the button so it can be places anywhere, like the rest the buttons of your awsome browser, or as in my case, just removed.

thanks guys Keep up the awsom work.

My USB connected mouse no longer scrolls in Firefox. The mouse is working correctly in other programmes eg: Thunderbird and other web browsers. Can you sugest possible solutions please. I am using the latest Firefox update with the latest available windows 10 update . Many thanks Keith Carpenter

I cannot get any sounds through Firefox. Regular audio through stand alone programs run fine, but when I attempt to run something through the browser, I get nothing. I have checked all the well known, and some obscure sites for solutions, and nothing is working.

When I click on "Google Apps" in Firefox (with links to Calendar, news etc.) says "can't load". When I try with Chrome is loads fine. What can be done to fix that?

I recently got Windows 10 set up with a Korean keyboard, but when I go to Firefox, the language remains English. To wit, I am typing this right now with the Korean keyboard selected. Tabbing out to a different program works as expected.

When I try to switch the keyboard, it doesn't matter which is selected--it always types in English.

I could find no troubleshooting help online for this.

Why is Firefox ignoring my input language?

If i am on "computer 1 at work" and use the sync tab, will my "computer 1 at work" sync to my "computer 2 at home", OR will "computer 2 at home" be synced to "computer 1 at work"? I don't want to lose my passwords or bookmark toolbar items. I also do not want personal items from my home computer on my work computer.

Does anyone know how I an shift the icons for the add-ons back towards the left? As for some unknown reason, they have magically appeared towards the middle.

I have attached an image and the problem is highlighted in red.

I am trying to reset my password as it has not been changed in a while. When I go to the change password area of my profile, I type in my existing password, and the new one, and then it says "Incorrect Password" every time. I know that I am typing it correctly, and I have even used the exact same password to login to this very device, and my mobile device, to double and triple check I have it right. It works when logging in to Firefox, but when used in the change password area it tells me the password is not correct. I am at a loss what to try next.

After Firefox's update to 110.0.1 I have lost all the passwords and history The logins.json, key4.db and places.sqlite are in their place in profile. What's wrong with all that and how to fix it?

I tried to optimize settings for these aging eyes, and now I have messed up the pages such that I can't read some lines. I am not a computer person, and some terminology I don't understand. Specifically, how do I set the colors, etc. so that I can read the items? Is there a default button to set everything back to normal? Thank you, [email removed from public]

I just installed a fresh copy of Windows 11 and last Firefox, and get some weird rendering of letters on some websites. It seems that the end of a letter is bolded so to speak (screenshot attached). Also, there is an unnatural widening between the lines of text on the same websites (screenshot attached). This does not appear on other browsers. What can I do to correct it?
