Hello,

I couldn't open my Firefox browser on my Windows 10 so I uninstalled the app and downloaded a new Firefox browser. How do I get all my bookmarks from my old Firefox browser to the new one?

Thanks.

Much (but not all) of the time, when I click on a link that opens in a new tab, that tab never loads the content. It sits there with the little dot on the left oscillating back and forth.

BUT if I close Firefox and reopen it, it comes back with all the tabs I had when I closed it -- and the problem tab loads and displays the content without trouble.

What can I do to not have to close and reopen Firefox so often?

I'm running the latest version of Firefox on Windows 11 Home. 64-bit.en

After being updated to FireFox release 102.1, any zipped or setup (execution) files show as 'file' extension and will not open or execute.

Can you please advise me on how to fix? I tried using a different browser for same download, and it works fine (leaves the extension as application or exe or zip). FireFox is defined as the default browser - Windows 10.

Thanks!

I am sorry, I recently said that buttons to open the profile directory were missing.

I was wrong.

But when you look at the screen where it is described and then you see the screen as I see it - with DARK THEME set you can see how/why I could easily miss seeing the button.

I feel there needs to be better ... separation (?) between the text and button. It is a lot easier to see in the light/default theme.

After the last Firefox update, i am trying to open youtube.com in my Firefox browser but it's not letting me to do it. Every time i open it shows an error and says that the error is from YOUTUBE and FIREFOX or I can do nothing about it. But the funny part is its working on other browsers like chrome.

Firefox has crashed ~6 or 7 times in the last 30 minutes. I've got a lot of tabs open, but that's always the case and hasn't ever been a problem before--and I tried closing ones that seemed tricky (youtube, google docs, etc.) with no changes. It crashed when I was in troubleshooting mode, so I don't think it's any extensions I've got running. It says I have the most recent version of Firefox. Nothing else on my computer is giving me any trouble.

Here's the most recent error message: bp-97a6fdd4-c953-4ed2-98d2-ee3c60220710

Windows 8.1 Firefox 102.0.1 Clean install with a brand new profile

Noodling around about:config I discovered that the boolean value browser.sessionstore.enabled does not exist.

Interestingly though, it's numerical partner browser.sessionstore.interval does exist and was set to 15000. (15000 miliseconds = 15 seconds)

I was planning to increase this interval significantly. However...

It is my understanding that browser.sessionstore.enabled must be set to true for browser.sessionstore.interval to have any effect.

So what gives? Why is there a browser.sessionstore.interval set to 15000 when the prerequisite browser.sessionstore.enabled does not even exist?

Windows 8.1, Firefox 102.0.1

I recently discovered that it is quite true that some folks (including the folks at Mozilla) store cookies in DOM storage.

For example, it is impossible to log into your Mozilla account (because you are not accepting cookies!) if you have set dom.storage.enabled = false using the about:config editor.

So, as you can see, those sneaky folks at Mozilla :) like to obscure "cookie" collecting by using DOM storage cookies instead of the usual cookies everyone complains about and have to be warned about by law. (I love the "I don't care about cookies" extension, by the way. It shuts up that completely asinine annoyance.)

As a test of sorts I would like toggle the blocking of DOM cookies on a regular basis by toggling dom.storage.enabled. Rather than going back and forth and toggling the value manually using the about:config editor I would like to automate the process, possibly with a Windows batch file or a script. Also, possibly, (just for fun) I would like to take this concept of the automating the changing of certain preference values into building an extension. If I ever learn how to properly code one, that is.

So, my question is -- Where is the dom.storage.enabled value stored? (I examined the pref.js file but it is not there unless it has some other name.)
