I have a laptop that died last week. I just got onto a new device, and would like to restore my Firefox settings from that previous device. So, I downloaded firefox, signed in to sync my bookmarks and extensions... and the old device does not appear in my synced devices list. Is there anything I can do to recover my account data? I know it was synced as recently as a few days ago. The device is completely bricked and I will not be able to log in on it anymore. Is there anything to be done?

Hello I can use mouse because of my condition. I use a stylus tablet wacom cintiq companion. I cant move the tabs around and some other functionality doesnt work such as pressing certain buttons, fox example download button for the snipping tool in firefox.

with mouse it works but not stylus. it started working when i turn off windows ink but I lose the scrolling feature which is something I really need. I tried turning on and off some about:config settings but no luck there. I reset firefox but that didnt work. I tried the edge browser and I get no problems with edge. Other firefox forks have the same issue. I tried windows settings but no luck there.

Need help! Thanks

Does the recent update Firefox 137.0 retain the separate address bar and search bar? One of the things I hate about MS Edge is that there is no separate search bar. Have not been pleased about the small size of the Firefox search bar the last few years. The user should be able to size it at will.

I cannot load the IRS webpage for my account. I load the following page: "https://www.irs.gov/" click on "Sign into your account" which directs me to another webpage: "https://www.irs.gov/your-account". I click on "Individual-sign into online account" and get the following error: "Error from: https://sa.www4.irs.gov/sso/?resumePath=%2Fas%2F0ysmHPaqAO%2Fresume%2Fas%2Fauthorization.ping&allowInteraction=true&reauth=false&connectionId=SADIPACLIENT&vnd_pi_requested_resource=https%3A%2F%2Fsa.www4.irs.gov%2Fola%2F&vnd_pi_application_name=OLA Reference ID:"

I can get into the Direct Pay website with no problem. I also can access my IRS account using my IPhone which makes me think this is a browser problem. I have disabled anti virus with no success. I called IRS and they have never heard of this problem and had no solution and said they didn't handle this issues.

Any suggestions please?

A folder on the bookmarks menu that stroes individual bookmarks, fills half the screen of a standard 1080p screen with totally empty white space.

The padding in between each and every single bookmark, in any place that can store bookmarks, will be filled by at least 3 or 4 mm of empty white space. Between every single bookmark.

This is a huge amount of completely pointless scrolling.

Do you have an RSI? No?

Good for you. I, sadly do.

Has there been a fix for this cos the chrome folder .css "fix" is not working for me.

If i cant solve this i am going to change browsers. I dont care. I love Firefox and used it since the netscape days in the 90's, but am not going in for another surgery since you people insist of giving people more RSI's.

Hello,

I'm using a docker container to access an old dell r710 with iDRAC 6 and I'm stuck configuring some parameters because I can't use the shortcut ctrl+n because firefox opens a new window.

Reading this https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1381773 I assume that I can disable ctrl+n in firefox using autoconfig.js (/etc/firefox/defaults/pref/autoconfig.js) and firefox.cfg (/etc/firefox/firefox.cfg) but I don't know what should I write on these config files.

Can someone give me a hand? Thank you in advance!
