Who said anything about tabs? I said to use the search bar. This will search the current page for what you want.

Hey there!

Yes it is possible to go back to Firefox 90.

Install Older Version Of Firefox {web link} Be sure to read everything here. If you still want to downgrade, look under; I still want to downgrade. Click the Directory of other versions and languages link. Look for the directory of the version that you want. But, remember that old versions may have security issues. Note: Press <Control> (Mac=<Command>) F to open the search bar. Then enter 76 to see the available files. You should also check out ESR Firefox; Extended Support Release {web link} ESR Notes System Requirements

Hope I helped!

Kind regards,

What do you mean by this?

If you have sync, and there is a problem anywhere, Shut Down Sync Immediately On All Devices to prevent the problem from spreading. Once the problem is fixed, perform the same repair on all computers/profiles before using sync again.


[v57+] Places Maintenance is built into Firefox.

Type about:support<enter> in the address bar.

You will find Places Database near the bottom. Press the Verify Integrity button.

If any errors are reported, check this link: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-bookmarks-and-history-will-not-be-functional

The places.sqlite file contains your History and Bookmarks. And it looks like it is corrupted.

Type about:support<enter> in the address bar.

Under the page logo on the left side, you will see Application Basics. Under this find Profile Folder. To its right press the button Show Folder. This will open your file browser to the current Firefox profile. Now Close Firefox.

Locate the above file. Then rename or delete it. Restart Firefox. The browser should then create a new place.sqlite and recover your bookmarks from the backup files.

Note: Your history is not backed up and will be lost.

as soon as I launch FF90 update starts even when there is on internet and then all my bookmarks and settings are gone FF55 was my favorite

many thanks anyways FredMacD I used this method for (had to do several times) Recover user data missing after Firefox update: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/recover-user-data-missing-after-firefox-update

Step one: How do you completely turn off update checks in Firefox v64? You can use a policies.json file to disable updates for all users. https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/blob/master/README.md or https://winaero.com/blog/disable-updates-firefox-63-above/

You can use a policies.json file in the distribution folder in the Firefox installation folder instead as also listed in the article, so no need to use GPO keys in the Windows Registry. • https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customizing-firefox-using-policiesjson ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

You can use the ManualAppUpdateOnly policy in Firefox 87+ to enable only manual updates e.g. via "Help -> About Firefox".

Note that it is important to stay up to date and install the latest security patches.

I don't quite understand your suggestion: Press <Control> (Mac=<Command>) F to open the search bar. Then enter 76 to see the available files.
