Firefox Community Forum

Hi,

I recently had to reinstall Firefox. I made sure that settings etc were backed up in my Mozilla account, but I didn't realise that my custom search engines had not been backed up. I have about 20 of these custom search engines for work, so it was a pain to re-apply all of these. It's done now, but I'd like to know if there is a way to back these up for a quick restore on a reinstall?

There is no 'Search Engines' option in my Sync settings.

Thanks

Hello! I have a lot of PDFs on my computer, and every time I go to look at them, my browser immediately views it in "automatic zoom" and with the sidebar expanded. Is there a way to disable these features? I find myself fixing all the PDFs to "actual size" and closing the sidebar, and not only does it take a lot of time, but it doesn't save my preference once I've closed and reopened it! Please let me know if there's a setting I can disable to fix this issue. Thanks!

Respected one, since 2 days ago, the sound was lost when playing video content on platform X. I did not make any changes in the settings for M.F. not even in PC, I HAVEN'T CHANGED ANYTHING FOR MONTHS. Do you have any ideas, advice... Thank You for taking the time to solve my problem.

My understanding for profile feature was that bookmarks, user preferences were seperated. However my Pinned websites on my work profile in my work computer is synced to my personal profile at personal computer.

Is there a way to avoid this or is this unavoidable when using the sync function.

I don't know what to say. One day I had one row of frequently visited icons below the search bar in the middle of the page and the next day, they were gone. Any help, greatly appreciated.

I was prompted to do an update today and it erased all my bookmarks. I have a saved bookmark file that is a JSON file type but it won't let me import that b/c it's not HTML. I have a lot of saved bookmarks for work and really need to get them back.

For a few weeks now, the bluetooth sound drops out or will not connect, the screen freezes and says Firefox is not responding, the screen buffers for a while. V annoying and only when connecting bluetooth sound. Have tried with two different brand speakers, same thing happens. The bluetooth keyboard does not drop out at all, ever. Image is while listening to a TV series on Hulu~

Hello,

"The bookmarks and history system will not be functional" error message has suddenly appeared in just the past couple of days on my new DELL Inspiron 15 3535 with Windows 11. I have followed the first few items on the Mozilla Support page that comes up as soon as the initial Firefox opening page appears and that has not corrected the problem.

I have tried to follow the next few steps but can't really find what it calls for because I don't understand what it's talking about. I am not of the tech generation and do not speak the tech language. Most of the terms in there I do not know what or where they are on the laptop.

Is there anybody who could help me saw through the terminology and give me some ideas on how to simply solve my problem? All I really want to do is get to where my bookmarks are hidden and put them back in place where I can use them again.

Thank you in advance for any help anybody might have.

Kind Regards, Tom B.
