I run Firefox on several different machines and OSs. I have been using Firefox Sync for history and bookmarks, but not logins. I'm interested in using it for logins as well. I have many logins stored on each Firefox that I use. Some of them will overlap. Some of them will overlap *and* be different (because some are out of date). I do not want to lose any logins.
If I enable logins in Firefox sync, what will happen to my existing saved logins?
What happens to clashes between logins saved on the different instances of Firefox?
Thanks.
Why, with Firefox 67.0 (64-bit), does Thunderbird 60.7.0 (32-bit) ignore the running Firefox instance and starts, instead, the default profile to handle links?

Hi, all.
On Windows 10 Pro (64-bit), I run Firefox (64-bit) and Thunderbird (32-bit), each with two profiles.
Until this afternoon, when Firefox updated to 67.0, clicking on a link in Thunderbird would open a new tab in the currently running instance of Firefox. If Firefox was not running, it would open "Profile 1."
Now, Thunderbird will only open links in my "Profile 1" Firefox. If I have "Profile 2" running, Thunderbird ignores it and starts a new instance of Firefox using "Profile 1." With both instances running, Thunderbird opens a new tab in the "Profile 1" instance.
I updated to Thunderbird 60.7.0 (32-bit), but it did not change the behaviour. So, this seems to be a Firefox change. Is there a way to go back to having the running Firefox instance handle the external launch of links?
This is the behaviour that I want: clicking on a link, anywhere, will open it in a new tab in the currently running Firefox profile, only opening the default profile if Firefox is not yet running.
Thanks in advance!

The facebook tab seems to fail to work. After I log onto facebook with a tab, I open another one, but it shows the facebook page logged on with the account that I chose on the 1st tab. If I log off here, the original tab also logs off. The 1st tab has a blue line underneath while the 2nd one is black. Does anyone have any hints on this?

Hi, I've this problem since a few months.
I keep the toolbar "Bookmark Items" displayed in the upper right area, with the icons of the bookmarks. When I wanted to insert a new bookmark in the toolbar I was used to drag the "view site info" icon (left to the certificate icon) on this toolbar.
Since last updates this dragging action causes the bookmark items toolbar to completely disappear.
I have to restart Firefox to see the toolbar again.
See the attached image for details.
Thanks

I have have a profile folder that I have carried with me between computers to sync all of my addon preferences (NoScript per-site permissions).
After upgrading to Firefox 67 that profile now seems to be forever inaccessible to me. Attempts to launch it in the about:profiles page result in a message box titles
'You've launched an older version of Firefox'
The only options thereon are 'Create New Profile' and 'Quit'. My question: how do I regain access to the profile I spent months building up?

I have been logging in onto this listserver couple times a week for years. it always gave me the crossed lock sign that my password is not secure, but i clicked on the password space and I could overrule the security warning. Today I got a window to check my password. I did. Tried again and this time I cannot overrule the security warning and cannot access the list of which I am the moderator since 2007. I tried to add 3 more characters to my 9 characters password. Did not work either. Help

Doing various HTML5 benchmark tests, i discovered that my hardware acceleration seems to be off. Manually turning it on in "about:config" doesn't change either. It works perfectly on my desktop pc (windows 10 with latest firefox, and arch linux with v65), just not on my macbook.
https://testdrive-archive.azurewebsites.net/performance/fishbowl/
this is one of the test. Safari halts auto at 750 fish, chrome at 650. Firefox outputs 15-20fps at 10 fish.
http://www.kevs3d.co.uk/dev/canvasmark/
Same deal, Safari at 12500+, chrome at 12500+, but Firefox at 9000. I tried disabling my addons, tweaking performance settings, nothing works. Hardware acceleration just doesn't seem to be on. can anyone advise? thank you!
Multiple profiles in Firefox 67 broke default browser click!

Hi all,
Since Firefox 67 we can use more profiles at once. But this broke default click settings when the profile is not in the default place.
Before Firefox 67: If Firefox was the default browser, and the profile was for example d:\firefox, and I clicked a link in other program, for example mail client, the link was just passed to firefox.exe, and Firefox knew the profile (if it is running) so just started the link in the correct profile.
But now: If I click a link outside firefox, the browser just launches with an another, default firefox profile (c:\users\appdata... etc).
So how can I fix this? Can I disable this new multiple profile thing?

I just updated FF to version 67. Bookmark Buddy is a URL manager which I've used for at least 15 years. It was working this morning with the previous version (updated to 66-something within the past week). I've exhausted my limited capabilities trying to resolve this. I suspect there is something in about:config that needs to be tweaked, but I don't know what. FWIW, Bookmark Buddy still works perfectly fine with Internet Explorer. Any ideas on what to try to do to fix this?
Print web page to default pdf printer w/ page name as file name of .pdf

I want to switch from Chrome 74.0.3729.169 to Firefox 67.0 on my Debian Linux machine.
On Chrome, printing a web page to a .pdf file, with the page name automatically used as the .pdf file name is trivial -- it goes to the default printer (in my case, "save as pdf").
Workflow -- browse page, [ctrl-P], destination is automatically set to my "save as PDF' default printer, [save], new box allows me to change destination directory or file name (not required), [save] and I'm done. Very simple -- [ctrl-P], [save], [save] except when I want to change name, destination or option.
I do this very frequently. I've done a bunch of searching and I can't seem to find a way/add-ons that would allow me to have an equivalently simple workflow in Firefox. I do not want to have to type in the file name every time; that is a show stopper.
On Chrome, I use the "PDF Viewer" and "Print Friendly & PDF" ("Print Friendly and PDF any Webpage") extensions. The second extension is only used on some web pages. Most are printed with ctrl-p.
Can anyone suggest procedures and/or extensions that would allow me to have an equivalently simple workflow on FF?

I see that the new FF67 is starting to use WebRender in some situations. Blogs note that Windows 10 Desktop with nVidia should use it. But a check of about:support shows mine is using Direct3D 11. Just how does it decide it's safe to use? I know I can force it on, but wonder if it thinks something is not compatible, or it's just waiting for some background switch from Mozilla to enable it?
Firefox 67 no longer warns about closing tabs to the right or all other tabs.
Doesn't seem to matter the number, and browser.tabs.warnOnClose and browser.tabs.warnOnCloseOtherTabs are set to 'true'.

Running FF 67.0 on macOS 10.14.5. Clicking a link or typing a URL into the browser prompts to open in the previously set container. Neither button responds when clicked. This is consistent every time a URL assigned to a container is opened.
This behavior has been consistent since the certificate expiration issue. Have tried removing and reinstalling multi-account containers to no avail.
Is there a fix, or is it possible to completely remove containers and all container settings so I can start from scratch? Haven't been able to find a document explaining how to fix.
