Nothing seems to work. An appropriate plugin seems to be installed and, after downloading the latest version from Adobe, a retry informed me that Flash was already installed. Firefox does not agree. The download from Adobe informs me that upgrading is a 3-stage process but takes me no further than stage 1. This used to be a doddle under XP. You just found and ran the executable file in the Download folder. I can find no executable files in my Download folder. My current Linux version is 18.3 Sylvia. I am sure that this used to be handled automatically by Firefox updates in previous Mint versions. Now, however, it doesn't seem to matter what I try - whether using the Mint's Software function or going onto Adobe's download page. I always seem to finish up in the same place with the computer just looking at me and declaring that Flash is already installed. The Firefox Addons list includes Flash but nothing I do will get it working.

I lost my password for Firefox somehow.
I have my secondary email set up. I have account recovery not enabled I have two step authentication not enabled
I do not have a saved password in either Firefox itself or on iClouds keychain that works.
I understand that if I were to reset my password, I would lose everything.
On my desktop, I have 289 saved passwords On my iPhone I probably have that many or more unsynced passwords.
I have 10 years worth of bookmarks and history as well. I don’t really care about the history, but the bookmarks are important.
If there is no way to recover my password for Firefox, can I use Apple's Safari browser to export my usernames/passwords and bookmarks on my desktop and import them back in after I reset my password (which will reset my firefox account) ?
Also, if I do this, how will it affect my iPhone Firefox? Its not currently logged into firefox due to the password issue. Thanks!
How do I install Firefox in a different drive/volume on Windows 10? Support pages are inaccurate.

Attempting to install Firefox on my D drive.
Tried to follow these instructions: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/custom-installation-firefox-on-windows
However, they are inaccurate. The Firefox installer does not give you any options for a custom install, it just installs. I tried to uninstall and reinstall, but then it just gives you the option to reinstall. I had to hunt down three different Mozilla folders and delete them to clear out the installation properly, then tried to reinstall, but it still does not give any option to custom install.

I have done everything that is in the support answers, but to no avail. When I open FF in my jalopy (10 yr old computer), all my current bookmarks, and history for the past 5 years are still there. After copying the profile, and the entire Mozilla folder (separate attempts), and over-copying the folder in my new computer, there is no change; the files only go back to when I first installed FF on it. None of your support answers say anything about whether to copy the jalopy files into the local, or roaming folders, so I copied it into both. Still no difference.
In a related migration/replace problem, I cannot sync my new computer with the old, even though they're both in the same account name. The jalopy and new computer names are both recognized in the jalopy, but the new computer doesn't pick up the old computer name. This was the first thing I tried to reconcile the two machines. I am extremely frustrated, and at my wits end dealing with this problem. Any reasonable assistance and solutions are appreciated. Thank you.
P.S. If there is a response, will I receive an email or message on my FF account, or do I have to read through 800 instances to find the answer?
Repeatedly says to close the open firefox before I can compete install, but there is none open
I stopped the AV, I deleted all old files for Firefox, there is no other firefox open or even installed, but the new one wont' install.

Firefox auto update locked up my Win 7 computer while updating from 70.1 to 71.0 and I had to hard restart. When back into Windows, Firefox was broken. I had to reinstall Firefox to get it running and all bookmarks and saved logins were totally lost. I tried restoring them from backups but no success. I was able to move bookmarks over from another computer, but I am having no success finding the key3.db and logins.jsons files on the computer with working bookmarks and saved passwords. The computer I am trying to move the saved logins from is Windows 10, or as I call it, bloated utter crap. I need help moving those files over to the computer that had the Firefox problem, which is Windows 7. The computer that I am posting this from is the Windows 10 one that I haven't had the problem with.

Without using Sync, what is the easiest way to transfer my Firefox passwords from my old Mac (running OS X 10.6.8) to a new Mac (running 10.15.1)?
Is it as simple as moving the old logins.json and key3.db files from the old Firefox Profile folder to the new Firefox Profile folder?
Can I copy the old Firefox Profiles folder and replace the Profile folder in the new Mac with a copy (to get all my bookmarks & passwords)?

Was able to connect to Microsoft to play sollitare games - clicked on GET and error message come up. It said "cannot open this page" then it said "The address wasn't understood' . then it said Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (ms-windows-store) isn't associated with any program or is not allowed in this context." then it said "you might need to install other software to open this address." I need help. I know nothing about fixing computer problems please help!!!

I've just found out that a 64-bit version of Firefox has been available for a couple of years now! Why hasn't my version of Firefox hasn't been automatically upgraded to the 64 bit version?
I decided to try manually installing the 64-bit version, so I went to the download page (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/?q=English%20(US)#product-desktop-release) and specifically downloaded the 64-bit version. But to my surprise, this program wanted to install to Program Files (x86)!
To my further surprise, I checked in the Task Manager, and the version I'm already running has no asterisk next to it, suggesting that it's 64-bit. Yet it's installed in Program Files (x86)!?
According to this Mozilla support page: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/custom-installation-firefox-on-windows, the 64-bit version of the program is supposed to be installed in Program Files.
This is so confusing. Can anyone help?

Regrettably, I updated firefox on my computer. It wiped out all my preferences , passwords, and bookmarks. When I tried to sync them back from my phone, the phone (with both wifi and mobile data) wouldn't connect to firefox login, though it has no problem getting to other places on the internet. It also told me I had cookies turned off, even though I didn't. I checked three times.
Is there some way to retrieve the lost data so I can transfer it to a decent browser and get rid of FF forever? Thanks.

There are several posts on this site regarding uninstalling Firefox. I am running current Firefox on current W10 64bit 1903 desktop PC using Ethernet with Spectrum as my ISP. I am having a couple of problems in Firefox that are not happening in current Chrome. 1. Page-not-found 2-8 times a day that resolve every time by simply clicking the "retry" (or something close to that) button. I reset my router to "factory" and installed most current router firmware but that did not help. Netgear Support has been unable to help. 2. In current LastPass addon, I have to re-login to LastPass every time I start Firefox - did not used to do that (a year ago), and in Chrome or Edge that does not happen. I have re-installed the LastPass add-on. I have upgraded Firefox many times and have cleared history/cache many times. So now I want to COMPLETELY remove Firefox, reboot, and then install Firefox from scratch. Can someone please point me to the web page that tells me how to properly remove all of Firefox so that I can re-download/install it from the beginning? I do not care about retaining my Firefox settings or other from my current Firefox install.

So I've been using Firefox for quite a while now, both at home at work and on my phone. I've never had any issues with anything. I've had the same 3 extensions running since the installation of Firefox(Momentum tabs, Popup blocker and uBlock Origin)
But recently, Firefox has been uploading insane amount of data to the point where it just does not make sense. I'm adding two images, 1st shows my trend over the last 4 months while the 2nd shows how much data Firefox has been sending while being on (with a reset) for about 4h.
It became an issue because i usually do not close my computer and leave Firefox open with the tabs open (on average 5) and it was consuming all that data while i was at work While a "fix" could be well, close your Firefox, if this keeps up I'll just switch browser.
As far as what tabs are kept open a few Stock images website, GogoAnime, and usually my e-mails or work where i've left it off. No streaming website is left opened
I've got no active VPN connections, I've got complete control of my network and am beyond 100% certain that the issue comes from firefox, no other IP are on my network and lastly disabling all of my extensions has not changed the behavior of Firefox. My Firefox is up to date, (70.0.1) so everything else on my computer, from windows, gpu to all other drivers
Any help would be appreciated, otherwise i'll just change browser. (tried leaving on Chrome and it hardly uploads anything whatsoever)
