Hi,

last year I deleted my paypal account. Before that I deleted all entries and connections to abonnements in paypal. A few days ago i received an e-mail from Mozilla that I should pay my VPN abonnement. I would like to do so, but after logging in, I was shown an error message: "Invalid payment information. There is a problem with your account. Manage payment method."

When I go to "Manage payment methods," no options for other payment methods appear, only a PayPal link. What should I do now?

Thank you for your help!

YouTube videos are playing choppily in Firefox. The video frequently stutters/freezes or does not play smoothly, even when the same videos work normally in another browser. I have restarted Firefox and my device, but the problem continues. I would like help identifying whether the cause is hardware acceleration, Firefox extensions, graphics drivers, or another Firefox setting, and I would appreciate step-by-step troubleshooting instructions.

Unable to load https://fingtrainer.com as of yesterday. Been downloading the flingtrainer for single player games for a long time now and there is no issue. Try to disable/change enhanced tacking, dns, site were included in exceptions and reinstalling firefox does nothing. While the learn more link provide image solutions, none of them does anything and the disable button for the enhanced tracking is not working. Other browser like opera gx is able to load without any issue. Please assist with a solution or kindly revert the settings.

Server Not Found

Firefox can’t connect to the server at flingtrainer.com. Did you mean to go to www.flingtrainer.com? What can you do about it?

   Check to make sure you’ve typed the website address correctly and try again in a few moments.
   Check your network connection.
   Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall).

I'm on FF 154.0. The power went out here and when it came back and I booted the desktop computer something had changed in FF.

I used to see the active tab as green in the tab bar and yellow for the rest, but now they're all gray until I mouse over the bar and only then does it turn green/yellow.

I struggled with this for many hours trying many //active tab color// solutions I found in searches but nothing got it back to my old behavior.

So as a last resort I tried adding the Firefox Color extension, but when I click Add to Firefox it just turns into a throbber that never changes so it doesn't install. I'm stuck!

Frustrated!!

Hello, For about two or three days now, when I launch Firefox and try to open any website, it takes maybe one minute to load the page, then the navigation is OK on every website.

It only happens when I launch Firefox for the first time of my session. If I close it then relaunch it, it's still very swift.

I tried clear cache and remove cookies, just lost my logins lol but didn't work. I also tried with no extensions, nothing changed. Lastly I tried to set "network.captive-portal-service.enabled" to "false" in "about:config" but it didn't change anything neither.

So before I try anything else that could erase something on my profile, I'd rather ask here for some help :)

PS: running FF 153.0.4 on Debian Trixie with Mozilla repos. Only have two extensions: µblockOrigin and NoScript.

Thank you in advance!

Currently on Linux, but the problem is probably not OS-specific (although any work-around may be).

What I look for:

I want one setup for work, one for union, and one for personal use. If my work setup would be compromised, union bookmarks, search history etc is not compromised at the same time. Also, my work setup is not cluttered with private bookmarks and addons. Obviously, it'd be nice if those setups could be handled as separate start menue icons, so that I don't need to switch using a couple of clics, but just start the right setup directly. Needless to say nowadays, that these setups need to be syncable between devices. Ideally I as a person would have one Mozilla account that can store multiple profiles and protect each one with a seperate password, OR I as a person would have multiple Mozilla accounts that are made for easy switching.

What I've tried:

Multiple accounts, obviously; they sync between devices, which profiles really do not. The problem I run into is that I still need a separate profile for each account if I don't want to log in and out of them (which I don't want indeed, Alt-Tabbing during my leisure time is the only way for me to get things done for union and often for the office-part of work).

Finding the profile feature was hard enough but I adopted and have the about:profiles page bookmarked in all profiles. But whenever I start using a new computer, I need to set up new profiles. I tried saving them in a custom location on my nextcloud so that they can sync, but there is no straight forward way to import profiles. You need to create new ones and then move the contents of the old ones, instead of just pointing ff to an existing profile; that kind of kills the point of picking a custon location in the first place. All I ever do with a new profile is logging in to one of my already highly profiled accounts.

Along the way I realized that there is a now more GUI-way to create profiles, so I tried that. But when I tried choosing a custom location for them, I failed. Took me a while of restarting and googling to find out that Mozilla has managed to have two completely seperate features with the exact same name! That is, when you create a profile the modern way, it does not appear in about:profiles and vice versa.

Since I ditched the idea of custom location anyway, I setteled with the new way. But when I thought I'd make seperate startmenue links for them, because surely you can handle that with some kind of flag in the command, I could find only one option for profiles, and, as you can guess, it works with the old profiles.

It seems that one can start with a profile at a certain path, so maybe the old way with custom path could be something for me anyway, but when I used such a profile, I got a warning message that says that history and bookmark functions might not work properly and that some security program may cause this.

So, how is one actually supposed to use different accounts OR how is one supposed to sync different profiles between devices?

I have linux LMSDE7 Mint, Firefox will not sync. I click on the 3 top right corner lines, sign into Mozzilla, the bookmarks have not synced. Then if I go back to the same lines, it has still the "sign in" field, clicking has no reaction.
