My computer died. Luckily I had all my Firefox passwords, favourites etc synced with my account. I got my wife's old computer, fired up and logged into Firefox expecting it to sync all of the data from my account onto this new computer, but, it seems to have now backed up all the data from my wife's computer and overwritten mine. Is there any way I can recover all of my original stuff please?

When i try to install firefox in userprofile silent i get the UAC prompt to enter admin password i usually have to cancel it for the installation to proceed. How can we suppress the UAC prompt to install firefox as normal user in userprofile

Several of my often-used websites are now unresponsive on Firefox. This has been happening for a month or so. I'm in the UK and on Windows 10 and Microsoft 365. More and more often I am having to use Chrome. I don't want to have to change over completely.

I am RE-ASKING this question because the person who responded to the previous iteration provided no help whatsoever. I'm using Firefox 130.00 on a MacBook Pro (15-inch, mid-2012) running Catalina (10.15.7). It has run flawlessly for years, but suddenly won't open, and only hangs, requiring me to Force Quit. It stopped working on Thursday, 9/12, which, I notice, was the day it was last modified with an automatic upgrade. I have quit and tried restarting multiple times, but am unable to get into it at all and, therefore, cannot access Troubleshooting Mode. I have NOT yet tried deleting it and downloading a fresh copy. I would like, if possible, to retain my open tabs, Bookmarks, and History.

Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble signing into YouTube using a specific Gmail account on Firefox. I recently deleted a YouTube channel associated with this Gmail, and since then, every time I try to log in to YouTube, I get the error message "Something went wrong." This issue only happens with this particular Gmail account and only on YouTube, while other Google services (like Gmail and Google Drive) work fine. Here's what I’ve tried so far:

   Cleared cache and cookies for YouTube and Google.
   Disabled all extensions in Firefox.
   Logged out of all Google accounts.
   Tried Incognito mode.
   Tested on other browsers (which work perfectly, so it seems isolated to Firefox).
   Signed in on a different device with the same Gmail (works fine outside Firefox).
   Checked Google account for security or account issues (everything seems normal).

Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Has anyone else faced issues logging into YouTube after deleting a channel, particularly with Firefox? Any tips or solutions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Recently one of my computers was hacked. The malware was removed but it looks like it stole active sessions and perhaps no passwords. In v 130.0.1 How are synced passwords stored locally? Is the key still easily accessible? Does the new "Require device sign in to fill and manage passwords" option change how the key is stored or does it further encrypt the file like "master password" does? Thanks!

Linux Mint 22(Cinnamon) Firefox 130.0.1 64bit Mint-001 - 1.0 Dual monitors My workflow depends on speed/accesibilty For this reason my habit is for Thunderbird to open on right hand mnitor (Primary Monitor) When I click a link in Thunderbird to open the conversation etc, it opens that link in the left hand monitor (secondary monitor)

(I recently moved back to Firefox following a time in brave browser.) I can no longer get the above procedure to work. Thunderbird opens as normal, but Firefox insists on opening the link in the same monitor as Thunderbird (primary)......this is messy, slow and defeats the purpose of having two monitors. I reluctantly switched back to brave.....and immediately the link would begin opening in the secondary monitor. I have combed the Firefox Settings to no avail. A friend suggested the answer may lie in the ""firefox registry"...if there is such a thing?... about:firefox ?? I have zero idea how to access that if it does exist

You help is seriously appreciated

ChatGPT will not open in Firefox I have cleared caches etc checked for updates. However i can open on my iPhone using Safari and then I downloaded Chrome and can access via Chrome so this leads me to assume that the issue is with Firefox!! Please advise.

If mozila Firefox is unlocked with a master password & we continue browsing , will passwords be still safe & secured by firefox protection during that browsing session ?

Used to be my Homepage was set to Yahoo.com as my Firefox browser. Lately after putting my computer to sleep and I wake up the computer and click on the Firefox Icon on my desktop it wakes up with Hong Kong Yahoo web page and everything is in Chinese. My Windows region is set to the U.S. and Canada, and the Time zone to central mountain time. Nothing has changed there. There are no new favorites, I cleared the history and the cache, and now I get nothing BUT Hong Kong Yahoo and everything is in Chinese when I want to go to Yahoo to log into my mail account. I have now switched to microsoft Edge to get my mail, and will soon dump Firefox if I can migrate my favorites to Edge and this problem persists.

i need to restore my email system ... I use aol currently I am not getting emails I really need from 2 companies in particular Redfin and Zillow. I am looking for a house please help me.

Today I manually download and rename the firefox executable so a script that runs as a Sandbox is spun up is ready to go immediately. But that entails me manually downloading, then renaming the installer to a name that the script always knows. And often the setup file gets updated on the web and I am running the prior version, or older depending on when I went thru that manual process.

So I am back looking for a way to either find a way to download the newest installer each time or find a way to kick off the internal updater right after its currently scripted install completes. Either could work.

I hate having to use Edge as its the browser MS automatically installs when a sandbox is spun up.

Or are there other ideas on how to accomplish this? Thanks, Bill

My email inbox show no emails in it. My I phone shows over 8000 emails in my email account. In the old Firefox page, all my emails are there on my computer, but not in the new . How do I get all my emails into the new Firefox email inbox? Thank you.

I was working in Firefox for windows with several tabs open. After a computer restart, my Firefox browser reopened but none of my (many) tabs would reload. I closed Firefox and attempted to restart it by using the "restore previous tabs" function. Instead of opening, I received a small window pop up with error message about "older versions of Firefox yada yada" with two option: create new profile or Exit. I click exit (which closed the window) and tried restarting Firefox again, but received the same error. This time I selected the create new profile button. Firefox relaunched but, not only did the "restore previous tabs" option disappear, my browser history was completely wiped. Is there any way to recover my tabs/previous session?

Thank you, Justin

Hi,\

Over the past week or so, my homepage refreshes intermittently and all of the time when I close tab. When I am on my homepage to read (MSN), I typically use the right click command to open the links in a new tab so I can keep the article in the homepage there. Every time I close the news tabs, the homepage refreshes. If I am just sitting on the homepage for few minutes, it auto-refreshes.

This does not happen on Edge or Chromium and I have been back to Firefox because I want more control over not having AI functions and Chromium still has serious limitations. But this is annoying. I have tried changing as many of the relevant settings in about:config that I could find to no avail. My PC an All-in-One 6 core Ryzen 7 with 16GB of RAM, which is far more than enough to handle the memory hog Firefox is (sometimes it eats nearly 2 gigs).

Any thoughts?

Thanks, Tom
