I downloaded Firefox today and saw there was a VPN option but it is not working. It asks me to sign in and per the instructions the clickable icon at the top should now have an option to enable but it just asks me to sign in again. I am from Canada and it says my region is available for this program.

When uploading a file to attach to another app...the upload window opens up in dark mode. I don't like this and I did not change anything but it happens repeatedly. i have checked all options in settings to make sure the light mode is checked. Why is this happening. i did not change anything. Please advise. Thanks

After connecting and signing in to Mozilla Connect, it seems impossible to actually log out. There is a log out option in the dropdown menu, but it doesn't work. After "logging out", when going back to the site one is automatically logged back in. This is true even after clearing all mozilla.org cookies, and closing the browser. If a different browser is used, first time access to the Mozilla Connect site requires username/email and password, but after the first access, the alternate browser is also perpetually logged in.

1. What mechanism is being used to identify me as the user after cookies are cleared ?

2. How does this fit in with Mozilla's claims to respecting user privacy ?

3. How do a log out of the Mozilla Connect site ?

I run normal firefox on linux. Fully up-to-date. Every time I quit the app, it reverts to a version of my profile from a month ago, and loads all the tabs I had open then, and then receives all the tabs that I sent to the device in the interim (~1 month). As I speak, it just caught the 60 or 70 tabs in this window.

I tried changing the name of my profile folder to randomstring.defaultOLD and changed one of the backups to randomstring.default. This didn't change the behavior. I'm still stuck in the loop. I saved my tabs with onetab, because firefox isn't remembering my session anymore. I thought it was something to do with updates, like it only loses its mind upon updates, but that's not true. It thinks it's updating firefox EVERY TIME, because the one time it's loading to 1 month ago it was updating, but I'm 100% sure there are no updates to firefox in my linux. It's just hallucinating.

The articles on restoring from backup are outdated. They say to use an html file. There is no html file. It's just folders for profiles, not html files. HELP!

If I have a pinned tab, but I close out of the browser completely, that pinned tab should NOT open there when I relaunch the browser. NO tabs should be opened when I relaunch the browser after it has been completely closed.

PLEASE provide a way to disable this annoying "feature" (i.e., bug).

Thank you

Any time I launch Firefox, and it loads with the six tabs I have setup, it doesn't actually load the site until I click the tab. It shows the tabs with the correct favicons, but it doesn't actually download the site until I click the tab. Is there anyway to get it to load the site before I ever click the tab?

Hi there. The past few weeks whenever I try to view any YouTube embed on any website I just get this error and the video does not play: Sign in to confirm that you're not a bot

Of course I am signed in but it does nothing. It works in other web browsers, just not Firefox. I've tried resetting my cache and cookies, private windows, and disabling all extensions but nothing seems to work.

This is the message I get:

Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to www.gyroscopereview.com. SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.

Because other users (including people who use Firefox) are able to reach this site with no problem, I hope someone can tell me what the issue might be. Thanks

frustration here, yet very blessed to be celebrating our Nation's 250th anniversary. That said, PLEASE straighten out why Firefox = Mozilla = ????????????????

Also, I tried to return to a 'normal' cursor. I changed it back to said normal cursor. It's back to tall, looks like a door, I feel still proud to be an American, BUT PLEASE HELP THIS OLD LADY OUT!!!

Hello,

I have been using the same Firefox Account with Firefox Sync for several years.

I always reinstall Windows using a full disk format, and I have done this many times over the years. I have never signed out of my Firefox Account before reinstalling Windows, and Firefox Sync has always restored all my passwords, bookmarks, history and other synced data without any issues.

This time, after performing the same clean Windows installation and installing Firefox again, I signed into the same Firefox Account using the correct email address and two-factor authentication (Authenticator app).

I have verified that:

I am signed into the correct Firefox Account. Two-factor authentication works correctly. Firefox Sync is enabled for Passwords, Bookmarks, History, Tabs, Add-ons and Settings. Only the two new passwords I created after reinstalling Windows are present. All previously synced passwords, bookmarks, history, tabs and other data are missing. My Mozilla Account now shows only the new device. The previous computer is no longer listed.

I also checked the Firefox Sync log. It contains entries such as:

No metadata record Fresh start Wiping server data

Since I have successfully restored my Firefox data after many previous clean Windows installations using this same Firefox Account, this behavior is unexpected.

Could you please check whether my Firefox Sync storage still existed before this device connected, or whether it had already been reset or become empty?

Is there any possibility that my previous Sync data can still be recovered from the server?

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Firefox (152.0.4, 64-Bit) security settings – whether intended or not – are blocking work on the Internet. For example, loading Amazon takes forever until it’s unreachable, and further browsing (scrolling often not possible). The same with Edge works without any problems. What do I need to do to work quickly without constant blocks? Is there a zero setting? With simple security settings? The issue seems related to https to http as well. Also, opening a private new window once works, but a second window is blocked.

After liking what I heard about using a master password, esp. when using a dated OS like W7, I created a MP. I then stepped over to my W10 machine and did the same. A few days later I tired of the MP popup, and decided to remove passwords for financial sites, etc., and just leave the saved passwords in my browser. A week later I went to my W10 machine and the MP query popped up. I couldn't, and can't remember, the last 3 characters of my MP.

Is it possible to reset the MP without the MP? I don't care about losing the stored passwords that are on the W10 machine. I'll deal with them individually. Help? Thanks.

I recently purchased a new desktop due to the previous desktop malfunctioning a bit. The old hdd is still in operating condition and is now a slave in my new cpu. Where can I find the history/bookmarks on the old drive? Is there a filename that is relevant for the data?

Thanks

I was in the process adding text for over an hour when the entire document flipped. It is a PDF I am editing on FireFox. I have done this many times on different documents without this problem.

I have noted other inconsistent behaviors--am I the only one?

Thanks any help, Marshall

Everything squeezed to the left or center of firefox window. Search results are squeezed to the left third of the window leaving the rest of the window blank. Other sites are squeezed to the middle third of the window with blank areas to the left and right. This happened after I added an AI to the sidebar and then removed it.
