Firefox Support Forum

Hello,

I exported the old bookmarks from an old computer into a new computer with the firefox HTML file option

Once I imported them into the new version of Firefox, I could only see the "recent" bookmarks in the bookmark menu view.

I checked the settings but could not find anything to modify this.

I can see all of the bookmarks if I go into Manage Bookmarks but I can't see anything but the recent ones in the bookmark menu

I tried this on two different computers so perhaps I am missing a setting somewhere?

Thanks!

Matt

Firefox will NOT allow the search facility within Monrovia Plant Nursery to work.. it seems to be stuck in an endless loop. I did find, however, that Microsoft's EDGE works perfectly without any problems. Since I rarely use any internet browser other than Firefox, please HELP!

Why does Firefox now (for the past number of weeks, at least) force me to SAVE every thing I want to read or print? Why cannot I simply read or print something without having to choose a place to save it and name it? I don't always want the file cluttering up my PC once I have read or printed it. Help will be appreciated!

ALSO, probably not related, but maybe? Every time I open Firefox, within a minute, the additional "secure" window to Amazon Smile opens and interrupts what I am doing. Has Amazon taken over the entire world?

In each update there is, my browser is reset, the history, tabs, and all other data is lost with no way to get it back. I'm given no warning of when this will happen and frankly, this shouldn't even be an issue. This makes Firefox unusable and despite my love for this browser, I won't be using Firefox unless the issue is resolved.

I have lost several very important tabs and data, and this isn't the first time. This has happened since I got Firefox. This ussue makes this browser unusable and unreliable.

Website changes when developing never show the change even with cashing is operative. Regular history cleaned ETC ETC - Means CACHE CLEARING NEVER WORKS. This is a VERY BAD PROBLEM that is quite common. How these idiots at Mozilla have never fixed it indicates they useless. I've been recommended NEVER to use firefox because of this issue. So its back to Chrome and I hate supporting Google.

Hey whenever I try to load up Youtube it says An error occurred during a connection to www.youtube.com. Cannot communicate securely with peer: no common encryption algorithm(s).

I haven't traced this to FF updating, so don't yet have a hunch on what is triggering this:

Browser: FF for Win.

ISSUE #1: Downloads are going to the default location (Windows Downloads folder) in spite of being set to 'Always ask you where to save files'. This setting is retained correctly, but the browser is NOT asking me where to save the downloads - it just puts them in the default Windows "Downloads" folder)

ISSUE #2: I NEVER have ANY browser save passwords, yet despite repeatedly setting it NOT to ask to save passwords, here I am AGAIN setting it NOT to save passwords. This seems to happen every few months, but I don't yet relate it to FF updates.

Thoughts?

Thank you, Doug

Hello. This issue happens only with steamdb.info. The favicon on the tab is correct but the one on the bookmark is not. Why are they different? It also happens with a brand new profile or on another PC. I'm on Windows 10. Thank you for the help.

When using the Firefox search engine, once the information is entered, Freshy takes over. I'm concerned that my computer is being compromised. Please tell me how to get rid of freshy. Thank you.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1710933

If i want to open files into an application i do not want the files to clutter up my downloads folder.

this used to work perfectly pre-v91.

i understand that some users were confused where their files went when they opened them incorrectly within firefox.

currently i'm using a python script to clear my downloads folder from the useless files, but i'd rather just not have to bother with it.

is there a way to get the old behavior back? im comfortable going into about:config and/or using a plugin if i have to.

Attempting to print pdf from web based program and the first 2 characters on left and last 2 characters on right are cut off.

Also when printing pdf from web based program it is cutting off the very top of the page and the very bottom line of print.

Solution?

Normally there is no difficulty searching a pdf with a pdf reader. How does one do it in Firefox?

Note that ctrl+shift+f and ctrl+f do not work.

Dear Firefox,

I have FINALLY given up on your sync feature as it keeps adding deleted bookmarks and folders. It is so bad that all the duplication of bookmarks and folders are so random that can mount to thousands and thousands or copies.

I have UN-SYNC all my devices as this cannot go on as I have followed your instructions to the T.

Just that you know.
