How can I save the websites I've been on, who I have emailed, who has emailed me, etc. If I delete my history in case I need to go to one of those websites or past emails that I sent or someone has sent me to obtain information about something?

Hi, as seen in the screenshots, the toolbar popup windows are way too small. This goes for installing addons, websites asking for permissions, and remembering autofill information. It only seems to affect those instances, as addons pinned to the toolbar work as expected.

I've tried:

  1. Clean reinstalling firefox (including deleting the Mozilla directories in AppData/Roaming + Local)
  2. Deleting the default profile and creating a new one and launching with that
  3. Deleting the xulstore.json file

The issue still occurs in troubleshoot mode, so doesn't seem to be an addon causing this. I also have the zoom set to 100% and font size as it was when installed; this is a fresh install still doing it.

This is similar to https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1342630, except that was 2 years ago and trying those solutions did not work for me.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

When I try to download a file from a a download link from a trusted website it doesn't work. When I click it it just refreshes the page and doesn't download. I'm new to PC so I don't know if its something simple or if I may need to uninstall and reinstall Mozilla. Thanks in advance for any help.

I use Folders on the Bookmark tool bar. I backed up the folders in order to perform a refresh of Windows 10. I followed the instructions to restore the HTML file. The folders are now present under the application menu/Bookmarks/Manage bookmarks/BookMarks toolbar. The problem is I cannot determine how to bring the folders back onto the Bookmarks toolbar. The folders help me organize by subject matter and I need to get these back onto the toolbar in order to use them as I want to. Thank you.

On gmail "https://mail.google.com/mail"

I am already logged into my main account, when I click on my profile picture in the top right in order to add accounts/sign into other gmail accounts, I get this error:

"403. That’s an error.

We're sorry, but you do not have access to this page. That’s all we know."

I tried clearing cookies and no help.

Bare in mind this is on a fresh firefox install on a new desktop, I have been using firefox on my other desktop with no gmail issues like this.

Hello, Ive recently switched my primary browser from opera GX, to Mozilla Firefox. Since then I've adjusted the settings to my liking, one of which was the search engine. I chose google chrome, and it works when I open a new tab, However, When I open a new window of firefox, it always opens Bing. This is a small problem, yes, but its simple issues like this that dissuade me from wanting to use firefox at all, I would like to solve this issue, but Ive searched for answers, and there aren't any. If you help me fix this, I will keep firefox. Otherwise, I'll chose a browser that gives me the amount of control that I want. I've also attached a photo of the startup screen of firefox.

I could be wrong but I thought there was a button or something added to private browsing that would clear all cache, cookies, etc. We are doing testing on websites. We send the new files over to the server, then open the web page in a private window to see all our updated changes without anything loading from the FF cache. In the past, we had to close the private window each time we make a change, then reload the page in a new window. I thought there was a feature added to clear everything from a private window so I could just hit refresh in the open window and see everything fresh. Am I remembering incorrectly? I checked everywhere I could and cannot find this.

On a legacy iMac with over ten years of Firefox usage, I suddenly cannot sign in. The mac caps out at High Sierra 10.13.6 and I am unable to activate sync. I have tried allowing all cookies, restarting the browser several times, and even explored the config files.... to no avail.

How do I "enable local storage"? that's the error that sync provides me, but there is no option to fix that and all of your help files point me to cookies information (which I have done everything with). There are no actual help files to fix the local storage problem. This is frustrating!

Do I have to uninstall the entire application? If so, how to I preserve my bookmarks and pws without also porting over whatever is broken in the application?
