Installed new Linux OS, forgot password to profile when opening firefox, created new password, logged into my Profile which has the correct user picture, but all my passwords and bookmarks are gone. ( I want to cry man..)

under the new nova ui style, settings ui now has a left hand column listing the settings categories available the selected catqgory is highlighted in a light purple color. not a fan. how do I change the color. don't mind collateral damage as not a fan of this color.

FireFox Browser Crashing from Multiple Windows with Dual Monitors causing memory crashes in gnome.

google chrome used to have a brower extension called "The Great Suspender" to stop these crashes. If firefox can't figure this out I am not going to continue using firefox and go back to chrome.

I have received today 16/10/2026 an email purporting to be from Firefox telling me that my account will be terminated in 7 days and account totally deleted. I'm not sure it's genuine as I use Firefox regularly as my main server. If it is correct can you indicate how I maintain my access to the web and my Firefox account please?

i don't think you can you've fallen into the secure everything at the cost of your consumers going top Google chrome or Brave or etc just not firefox. It used to be my fav not any more congrats on your fuck up

Mozilla "help" says there's a link at the bottom of the page for that, but I see no such link. Mozilla "support" says it's based on how one created the account; I apparently used "Mozilla Account". I am currently logged into Connect and have been searching the entire site literally hours, between yesterday and today, plus browsing account settings, and found NO WAY to reset my password. Seriously. I started at "Email Settings", which anyone would expect to have reset there, as eMail is half of the login data, but no. Nothing clearly visible on any page anywhere in the menu at the avatar.

Everything here keeps saying go to "Mozilla Support" for technical issues, but going to "Support", I see they only support "products", and the web site ecosystem, say Connect, Bugzilla, and Support, are apparently NOT PRODUCTS OF MOZILLA. They have no entry in the product combo box and I either have to lie about the product, or get no support. How is that supportive? Lol

I have tried restoring my bookmarks using these steps but it doesn't work. Specifically, when I try to select "Choose File" in Step 3 nothing happens. The option will highlight, but when I click on it no window to choose a file pops up. Is there any other way to restore bookmarks using a json backup?

Once upon a time, back in the dawn of history, we all remember "Netscape", the "Anti-explorer", which kept us all free from the micro$oft virus and also reasonably sane.

Back then, you could "bookmark" interesting stuff you found in a list of links. This was kinda handy for people like me who have a memory like dorey's (from finding nemo...)

Therefore, I'm wondering why the so-called "bookmarks" functionality in firefox is now completely useless ?

Due to it's completely useless nature, I ultimately have started a text file called "bookmarks.txt". When i need to bookmark something, i copy the dang address from my browser pane and paste it into the bookmarks.txt file.

It is somewhat clunky , but it is a hell of a lot better than the so-called functionality given in the browser.

Would be interested to get the community's feedback on this point.

Am I stupid, or, do I have a point ? And why is the bookmarking so useless anyway ? Let me know your opinions , folks.
