Hello, I just noticed that at the top of my settings menu there was a flag saying that I was not logged in to Firefox. I clicked the link and logged in. Bam, all my settings disappeared! I have special colours and fonts because I am partially sighted. It is now very difficult for me to use my browser. How can I get my settings back, please?

Help! I just installed the latest Firefox 120.0 and I have a huge problem:

I work a lot with the address bar. I type a few characters and choose a URL from my history that I need to work with, then modify that URL by typing or pasting, to get the address I need. Now, I can't do that. Either I accept the full URL suggested or I must type a completely new one. That's a huge obstacle for me. I absolutely need to work with, i.e. select and modify, URLs that I have previously visited.

Please tell me there is a way to do this!

Hi, I develop a firefox kiosk application for an IoT device and I'm wondering what setting disables this message?

This message popped up on a release of our software which hadn't applied a policies.json file yet, is it safe to assume it will be covered by the following policy which we have on a later release?

   "UserMessaging": {
     "WhatsNew": false,
     "ExtensionRecommendations": false,
     "FeatureRecommendations": false,
     "UrlbarInterventions": false,
     "SkipOnboarding": true,

FireFox assumes that text size is the same for all pages in a domain, rferl.org for example. That is _not_ true. If I have set size to 50% and then take a link to a page that's different and have to set size to 67% to read it, when I return to the original page, size is 67% and text is too large.

It has happened now for quite a long while and quite some times that the bookmarks, with the exception of the "Import Bookmarks", disappear from Bookmarks Toolbar.

There was a time when I succeeded in solving the problem by removing the <places.sqlite> file, but or the last 2 instances it did not work.

In the first of these two later instances I resorted finally to reinstalling Firefox after the deletion of <places.sqlite>, <places.sqlite-wal> and <places.sqlite_shm> - I am not sure about the spelling of this last two - without success.

Today, running 144.0 64-bit for artlinux 1.0, that did not work.

I did <pacman -R firefox>, in order to remove it and then <pacman -Su firefox>, to install it but that did not work and to my surprise, my bookmarks appeared on the Library so I removed and installed one more time, making sure to delete the <.mozilla> before installing again.

I just reporting in case it may be helpful to someone.

How can I restore a previous theme? I had a "colorfore" theme that Mozilla offered a few years ago set up in Firefox. It was perfect! I could see everything clearly with my aging eyesight.Then one of my synced computers needed a new Linux OS installation so I signed out of sync on that machine. Installed the new OS. When I started Firefox the first time I signed into sync. I got my history, bookmarks and bookmark bar, but no custom colors. Now my computer at work has its colors reset to the out of box colors too. I have lost the colorfore colors I have been using for several years now. How can I get the colorfore colors back? Thank you for your attention in this matter. I love Firefox, use it exclusively and contribute to Mozilla. Gregg Scholfield

Revision: 115.9.1esr (64-Bit) for openSUSE Leap (15.5)

Some months ago, I unfortunately typed a password in the username field of a local page (access to my Internet box, oh Noes).

Since then, it appears each time I remove the access data in the Firefox settings. When entering data again for a login without password enquiry, the password becomes invisible again, and vice-versa.

It is impossible to show the phenomenon using a screenshot, as the password immediately disappears.
