The update alert had a "download" option which I clicked - no warning or info... Later, after probably (?) applying the current update, I remembered the saved download file and executed it, as I thought I was supposed too (why else suggest I download it?) It seems to have guided me thru an initial installation, with no warning that I might be wiping out my finely working 10-year working version of Mozilla. I could have stopped along the way (maybe?) as it wanted me to "Complete Installation" but I drove on, fearing since I'd already installed it, it was to late to back out. Felt trapped and in fact now have a very different looking (uglier) Mozilla than I was familiar with, and have lost all of my old Bookmarks! There was no warning to save the old once first to later re-install. Basically the install from the downloaded file should have noticed that I already had Mozilla installed and warned me about proceeding, but it did not! Grrrrr! That's my complaint!

Oh, doing this on an HP laptop, Windows 10 with purchased extension of Windows 10 support...

Hello,

After using your browser for many years now, I am very frustrated with your updates wiping out my bookmarks. I know how to fix it via the Help menu, but that ridiculous process is now required on EVERY update that has been rolling out over the past 6 months!

That's it - I've moved over to Edge. Someone on your software development team should be fired!

W11 Main screen, I have all 4 rows turned on.

This happened some time ago and then stopped doing it, I don't know why.

All of a sudden Firefox is back to filling open (and unused) shortcut positions, with old links pulled from the history file. This is clutter. It just started happening. I can manually clear the old links with a millions delete clicks and the empty shortcut position remain free for that session. when I get out of the main screen and return, the unused positions have refilled with old links from history again.

How to I stop this?

I can't get my original profile 1 to show the original background color. This suggests I don't really have my original profile, I do prefer a white background rather than the iky red/maroon color.

Здравствуйте, у меня звуки из браузера перестали воспроизводиться сначала на 1 мониторе(со 2го воспроизводились), а затем и со 2го. Остальные приложения выводят звук исправно. Что делать? Спасибо

i HAVE SET FIREFOX AS MY DEFAULT BROWSER, BUT WHEN I TRY TO OPEN IT MICROSOFT BING POPS UP. THIS INFURIATES ME AND I WANT TO KNOW HOW TO STOP IT. IN THE CONTROL PANEL IT WILL ALSO NOT ALLOW ME TO REMOVE MICROSOFT EDGE.

I teach an online Adobe Illustrator Course. Students upload (.ai) Adobe Illustrator files. Not .svg or .pdf. But Firefox changes the (.ai) extension to (.pdf) upon downloading. This is HIGHLY irritating. Firefox, in prior versions, did not do this. In Firefox settings for Applications, there isn't a choice for .ai (Adobe Illustrator) files. I 'assume' that when AI (artificial intelligence) became available is when Firefox began automatically changing (.ai) files to (.pdf). PLEASE SOLVE this as I have to manually change the (.pdf) extension BACK to (.ai) HUNDREDS of times a day.

When I try to make a Google search I get the following message, "I'm not a robot" with a reCAPTCHA: "Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This page checks to see if it's really you sending the requests, and not a robot. Why did this happen?". This happens on Firefox, but not Chrome or Edge. If I 'Allow' Google in the 'Exceptions - Cookies and Site Data' then I do not get the message, but it takes several seconds for Google display the resulting page. However, if I delete the cookies/cache the message will return and I have to redo the reCAPTCHA. I have scanned with Malwarebytes, Bitdefender, Hitman Pro, Trend Micro House Call and Microsoft Defender, nothing detected. Running Win 10 (64) with 'Extended Security Updates', Firefox 147.0 (64), no additional Extensions or Plugins. Also I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox.

I've tried saving in an active private window, but no success. Testing in Firefox private window local programing errors. Clean-slate avoid past incorrect memory errors.

I am trying to create a backup of FireFox for moving from a Windows 10 machine to a new Windows 11 machine. The instructions for creating a backup don't make any sense.

--- Click the main menu, and go to Settings. Select Sync. Scroll down to Backup, and click Manage backup. Choose the location to save the backup file. ---

When I click the Main Menu, go to Settings, Select Sync, there is no Backup listed. If I search for the term "Backup", this is the result: "Sorry! There are no results in Settings for “backup”. Need help? Visit Firefox Support".

Syncing is on, so I am assuming that FireFox is being backup?? Or am I missing something somewhere?

Hello,

I am having an issue with my Instagram account on PC (web version).

I can log in successfully, but after logging in the page does not load. It only shows the Instagram logo and stays stuck on the loading screen. Refreshing the page does not help.

Important details:

Instagram works normally on my mobile phone (app)

The account is not blocked or disabled

I changed my password successfully

I tried different browsers (Firefox, Edge, Chrome)

I cleared cache and cookies

I tried private/incognito mode

The problem only happens on PC, not on mobile

Because everything works fine on my phone, I believe this is a problem with the Instagram web version or a browser-related issue on your side.

Please check my account and let me know how I can fix this or regain normal access on PC.

Thank you for your help.

Before i got the Profiles update that rolled out relatively recently, i created another firefox profile from the "about:profiles" page. I do not see this second profile in the new Profiles tab in the menu in my default profile. Is there a way to transfer the profile, maybe mess with the files and the folder of firefox, so i will be able to switch profiles from the Profiles tab, and not go through "about:profiles" every time? or just create a new profile and tell me how to transfer the data, where to find the existing one thanks.
