I had been messing around, added all my e-mails from different providers as secondary o Firefox Sync account. Now I want to make a separate Sync accounts. The problem is I don't actually see them in the manage account page, which is weird. I try adding, it says it's verified by another user... uhhh, me? Also tried resetting & deleting the main account, all e-mails remained connected. Other users seem to have this problem, but while I have access to all e-mails (main e-mail of the Sync, and two other I want to separate), as I said, they don't even show up in Sync management. The request for help is: to whom do I send an e-mail at Mozilla, asking to remove/reset the e-mails.
Thanks in advance! Andrei

I have already tries highlighting the problem sites with my arrow keys and pressing delete (also have tried shift+delete and crtl+delete and crtl+shift+delete) and the websites will not stop trying to be the top autofill result. I have never visited the autofill websites in the first place and have no clue what to do.

Hi there.
I play The Settlers Online (Flash based web game) but I'm having problems with Firefox 66.03 (64 bit) under Fedora Linux. Flash crashes the tab when the presentation is clicked. See attached.
This morning I have downloaded a fresh ISO of Fedora 29 and performed a fresh install, Insulated all available updates, rebooted, Installed the latest version of Flash plugin via Adobe, rebooted. Sadly still crashing when the game is loaded.
Flash 32 works fine under CentOS 7 which bundles Firefox 60.6.1 ESR however I prefer to use Fedora due to restricted hardware support under CentOS

I've been experiencing computer crashes which have prompted me to begin monitoring the console system log. In doing so, I've noticed that I regularly receive these sandbox message seemingly every time I open a new tab. Regardless of whether or not this is attributing to the crashes, I'd like to get a handle on this particular situation and either repair the sandbox relationship or disable further attempts at accessing entirely. Any assistance on the matter is greatly appreciated.

Since a few days, behaviour of my Firefox is different. When opening a submenu from the bookmarks toolbar, it closes immediately when I hit ctrl-key. Due to this, when I want to open a bookmarked page in a new tab, annoyingly I have to either right click to get the context menu with its entry "open in new tab" or open a new tab manually beforehand.
How to let display of bookmark menu surviving ctrl-key pressing?

I have 2 computers on the same network. Both run windows 7 and both have the latest version of firefox.
When I receive a dropbox link and click on it both computers will open the link fine in firefox however when I attempt to download the file, it works fine on one pc but the other displays a small red box at the top that says "download failed".
If i paste that same link into an "in private" session, the download works. Any ideas??

Sadly the HTML spec doesn't allow for the placeholder attribute on an <input type='date'...> field, so we have to find workarounds.
In Chrome, and Safari (iOS only, macOS has it's own issues) the hack following works (though annoyingly shws both palceholder and a truncated date picker), but the selector seems to be ignored in Firefox so we see the datepicker but no placeholder.
<style>
input[type='date']:before {
content: attr(placeholder)
}
</style>
<input type="date" name="dob" placeholder="Date of Birth " onfocus="this.placeholder=''" onblur="if (this.value==''){this.placeholder='Date of Birth '}">
I am hoping I'm just being dumb and missing something obvious, but any pointers are welcome ;)

Only thing I can add to the statement in my "question" is that I can see the toolbar only if I position my mouse pointer at the top of the screen. As soon as I move the pointer down from the top the toolbar disappears. It used to appear and stay in place as soon as I opened Firefox. My iMac uses MacOS Sierra, version 10.12.6.

Having a search "feature" that does not immediately come up with not only the bookmark but also it's location in the bookmark folders is frankly useless. It has been driving me crazy for years, and is what eventually made me give up on Firefox. Yes I know there are extensions that can do this (though I am now a bit out of the loop and don't know of any current ones) but they are simply not the solution. Extensions change and are often disabled after an upgrade leaving me to scramble looking for yet another half assed solution.
Imagine if the file manager on your operating system allowed you to find the words "idiot" in a file somewhere on your system but didn't give you any way to actually find the location of this file in your system without lots of extra work! That would be completely unacceptable - Well that is what I have with Firefox!
As users, lazy developers of all sorts of software have tried for years to force us to store our snippets of data in one gigantic box and then force us to rely on searching, sometimes for ages to find whatever it is we put in that box.
This is not how organized people like to work. Putting every single tool I own in a big box in my garage would be insane and using that system would be just as insane on a computer or in an application. We generally put woodworking tools together, mechanic type tools together, measurement tools together, electronics tools together. Then when we need that funny little thing we use to pry open mobile phones, we can find it, even though we don't know its name or exactly where it is, it is with the electronics tools, we go to that box, drawer or wall-board and ah, there it is, no unpacking a huge box of unrelated tools (The thing we are looking for is always at the bottom).
Well my bookmarks are the same. There are times when a directory system does not help and then I rely on searching but most the time my work flow is like this: Today I am working on a robotics thing. I remember seeing a cool little motor I came across when I last worked on robotics stepper motors I remember the name of the stepper motor so I search for it. It shows me the directory I put it in and presto there too I find the information I saved about the other cool little motor. I have this happen over and over. This the only reason I save bookmarks. Hell if I am going to throw all bookmarks into a single box an use search then why bother with bookmarks at all? I can just use Google or DuckDuckGo or whatever other search engine takes my fancy!
If there are other people out there that feel like I do, please note your irritation here so that those wonderful people who give so much of their time to improving Firefox can know that this is a big issue.
If there is a new search tool that also shows the directory structure, please bring it to my attention.
BTW, I am whining a lot in this post but it is because I love Firefox and really miss using it. If programming were my passion rest assured this is something I would be happy to help with but it is not, my skills lie in other areas where I regularly contribute to the good of others. Thank you Firefox developers.
My bookmarks have become quite messy since losing the ability to easily find things and I want to bring them back into line. I miss being able to find stuff I liked.
Oh and please don't tell me "Tags" - tags are another half assed solution for this workflow. Tags have their place and are useful but not for keeping things organized. They are too reliant on searching.
Tags: So all my tools are in one box with a sticky label tagging some as woodworking, some as metalworking, some as electronics - that is still one very big, very messy hard to work with box of garbage!

After update from firefox 64 to 65.0 it stopped keeping certain cookies when clearing all others, even though the same site is listed in exceptions as 'Allow' (e.g., this no longer works: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1200198 ). I tried to remove and add it again but because I clear cookies when firefox closes this exception is no longer working. Please restore this functionality! I use Windows 10.

I strongly believe that Cookies Exceptions should work as it is expected to work, i.e. One should allow or not allow cookies from certain sites. When one allows cookies for a certain site, this site should be able to store a cookie anyway, even if one has cookies "closed" (not allowed). Otherwise, what's the use of the "exception" if you open cookies for everyone? They will all store their cookies whether they are in the "Exceptions" list or not.
Now, allowing cookies **for a single session only** can solve part the problem, since during a session there may be hundreds of cookies stored and you don't want that!!
If FF really wants to keep using the Exceptions list in the way it does, there should then be an additional list that will do exactly what I explained it ought to do. Which, of course is inefficient, i.e. is having two lists for the similar purpose. So, better use the Exceptions list for what it is logically expected to do.

This is the single biggest issue with Firefox Quantum, preventing many from migrating their principal browser from Firefox 56 to Firefox Quantum.
How is it possible that after two years such a crucial functionality - UI to assigning custom keyboard shortcuts - is still NOT implemented to Firefox Quantum? With the introduction of Firefox Quantum the Mozilla team ditched thousands of useful extensions - in order to get a clean start. The Mozilla team did this deep cut deliberately. I understand the reasons. However, as a consequence, you than have to build-in such core functionalities to Firefox Quantum.
It is just super odd that a super niche market browser, Vivaldi, delivers this functionality built-in to their browser for years now, and the Mozilla team does not even provide a road map to deliver this core functionality. I am contuniously running 4 Firefoxes in parallel for different tasks, in favor of Safari, in favor of Chrome, I have been patient, understanding that the Mozilla team needs some time to add the core functionalities to Quantum, but I start losing my patience. RELIABLE customizable shortcuts is extremely important for profressional users. Well-meant but unreliable workarounds such as Saka Key do not deliver the reliability needed by professional Firefox users. We, the professional Firefox users are RECOMMENDING Firefox to dozens, hundreds of other users. If this further should be in Mozilla's interest please start acting now. THANKS in advance.
