Until last week, login info and password were always filled in. Suddenly they were not. I went to the menu and to login and passwords and "autofill" was selected. I then went to settings and privacy and checked "ask for login and password.......". Then I tried some and it fills it in. However as soon as I leave the browser it "deselects" that box and it no longer works. I suspect this is due to some update, but would really appreciate it if I had knowledge of this change before hand and also how to fix it so that it works like it should. Thanks.

How can I find a specific add-on on addons.mozilla.org since the search function doesn't find it by exact name or author?

I was trying to locate all of my add-ons on https://addons.mozilla.org so I could bookmark them for a backup in case my PC has a figurative meltdown. Some are extremely simple to find but others seem impossible to locate. I even logged into the addons page thinking it would show my installed addons so I could locate them. Well no, it doesn't. Which doesn't make sense. Similarly lacking sense is an advanced search. There doesn't seem to be a way to search by title or author, just by a vague keyword. From what I'm seeing of results, it seems that it either picks one word out of many to search for or boils it down to some other vague term. Even if I type in the exact title it will bring up completely different results along with some that are similar to what I have installed. Author searches don't bring up anything. There has to be a way to locate specific add-ons right? The search seems completely useless as is except to browse. Similarly, why don't installed add-ons link to their page on addons.mozilla.org? So how do I find my addon? This is exactly the reason WHY I want to bookmark them so that I don't have a problem finding them in the future when there's more addons to sift through. Amazing that I can't find it while I have it installed. (The one I'm looking for is Dark YouTube Theme by NiCU Natrapeiu)
I know I can just switch to any number of other similar add-ons but this one works and it infuriates me that I'd have to choose a different one just because the search function is terrible. Keep in mind it is already installed. I want to find the page for it at addons.mozilla.org so that I can reinstall it in the future should I need to do a fresh installation.

Hi
Running Firefox 71.0 (64 bit)
Well seems Firefox has been messing this up again.
Anyone have the new work around solution to get my tabs back on the bottom again. They were fine this morning then shut down and went out to lunch and when I came back they were back on the top again after months of being where I wanted them below my bookmark bar.
Thoughts on this?
Thanks Dave

On my personal laptop, I have the Multi-Account Containers extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/) running smoothly. I'm currently on a public desktop computer , and I enabled Firefox Sync, which did a good job for passwords, bookmarks, etc, but it didn't sync any of my container info for the Multi-Account Containers add-on. I see the default containers: Personal, Work, Bank, Shopping. On my personal laptop, I have about a dozen containers. What's wrong?
"New tab" in bookmark toolbar does not open new tab. Instead it blanks the current tab with the new tab page. How to fix?

I purchased a new computer (Lenovo Ideapad 540S) with Windows 10 OS. Reinstalled Firefox. My bookmark toolbar has a "New Tab" Icon. In my old computer, clicking "new tab" would open a new tab and display the new tab page. Now, clicking the New Tab icon creates a new tab page on the page that I am starting from. In other words -- no new tab opens, but the current page I am looking at becomes a new tab page. I still get a new tab if i click the "+" sign in the tabs and if I right click on the New Tab icon and and select "open in new tab" but I thought the New Tab Icon was supposed to .. you know ... open a new tab.
Unknown certificate issuer on new Firefox profile on Windows 10

Using 64-bit Firefox on a Windows 10 system (version 1909, OS Build 18363.476), there is a site which works fine when using an old profile but which for news profiles gives a “Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue” message with error code SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Visit https://www.bancosantander.es/
2. Click on the top-right red square with a lock icon and the text “Acceso clientes” / “Accés clients”
A frame with a login form should appear but instead an error page shows up (the certificate is for particulares.bancosantander.es and the issuer CN Entrust Certification Authority - L1M; if necessary I can paste the about:certificate string).
The profiles that work were created on previous builds of both Firefox and Windows. On the aforementioned Windows version, all tested Firefox builds (stable 71.0.0 and unbranded builds reaching back to Firefox 68.0.1) do not work (the profiles might have been created earlier but I don't know where to get earlier builds which won't require installing).
What could be the problem, and how could it be fixed?

Gents: I do not want to give my correct phone number for anyone to enter in their database. How can I use Sync w/o giving my true number? 2. I thought I had Sync set up previously but now it always hits me with the 'enter your phone number' which is a dead end for me.
3. I believe when the Support page is asking for my Yahoo email logon (for some reason) that it is linking my Yahoo with this support site instead of allowing me to use my normal logon. Is there a way I can check and be sure that these are not linked, and that I didn't miss some asterisk B.S. somewhere about "you are now giving support.mozilla or whatever was using this, to link my yahoo account?
Thank you!

I've been using Firefox for a while and I came across some great extensions. I would like to give each of them a rating to help other people find better extensions, but there seems no easy way to do so. On Google Play you can review installed extensions in Play Store easily by click each of them and use the one-tap rating button. On iOS, if you allow them, App Store will even prompt you a one-tap rater after you've installed some app and used for a while, which is even more convenient. I wonder if Firefox (could) have the same experience. Without it, it's harder to encourage people (who wish to spare the time) to involve in the rating system.

Ever since my first ever use of FireFox the setting to "update" has been set to "Check for updates but let you choose to install them".
Yesterday I clicked to accept the latest update (to 71.0 I think) at which point the programme simply crashed without warning.
I went through various processes to try and resurrect FF, but without success --- FireFox would not run.
I eventually resorted to installing Version 65.0 but, despite the update settings being set as above, Version 71 kept installing and making FF a "non-starter" again.
I made an alteration to the "about:config" which seems to have stopped the automatic updating, albeit the "FF Icon" still wants to function as "Updater" and I get a message (when started) saying FF is unable to update to the latest version - "click here to download etc.," which of course I don't do and FF continues to perform as expected - albeit 65 and not 71.
Is there a problem with Version 71 and (possible) Win 7 64 bit ?
How can I reconfigure the "FF Icon" to simply start the programme (version 65) in the normal way and not get involved with it wanting to update all the time?
Another peculiarity that has arisen is that, when I try to change the Default language from American English to British English I receive a message saying FF cannot change as it is not online. (Version 65 and it is definitely online)
I have carried out system scans for Viruses etc., perform really in-depth un-installations of FF, and no new applications have recently been installed.
