quit firefox on my mac, reopened it and all my account history, passwords, etc were lost. is there any way to recover them? im sure this has been asked many times, but i have been using firefox for 2 years, never had any issue. recently i quit the app on my mac, when i reopened it, absolutely everything was gone. i had a LOT of saved emails and passowords i never backed up, and i reallyyy need them back. i logged back in with the same email i had for my firefox account originally, but absolutely everything is gone, as if ive just made a new account, im just at a loss what can i do? :(

I can't login to my Firefox account in Firefox, (I'm using Chrome to write this--I can login here.) When I try to login to my account in Firefox, I get the message sown in the attachment. M protection is set to "Standard", not "Strict", and I've cleared everything (cookies included) in my History. How exactly (as in "step by step") do I unblock cookies? (The Firefox help wasn't any help.

My yahoo mail account exceeded its' maximum storage. I upgraded and since then yahoo does not work on this computer. My yahoo mail account works fine on my laptop. Firefox was also upgraded along with windows 10

I used a translator, so the names of the functions may not match.

I want the "start page" or the new firefox tab to contain only the sites that I have pinned, as it happens in any chromium browser.

I don't need junk offers from the browser history to be on the new tab in addition to the sites I've pinned.

I went to settings > start > Firefox Home Page Content

And out of everything, I have a check mark only for "shortcuts", sponsored shortcuts are disabled. BUT the description of the shortcuts function says "Saved or visited sites" That is, I can't just turn off the "suggestions"

.I recently updated to either V140 or 141 in the past few days. It appears that there have been some MAJOR changes to Firefox. I can find but find it hard to use my old bookmarks and profiles.

Too many things changed. For some reason, I performed a "refresh" during the update. I now have a icon on my desktop labeled "old firefox data". I assume that this is the old properties file. I found the help section about restoring bookmarks, etc, but it didn't tell me how to use this file to recover my old information.

I have been a loyal user of Firefox since the early days (I believe it used to be Netscape Navigator.) This is the first time I've had any issues after an update. I would like my 'old' Firefox back.

For instance, there was a menu option to view/access my bookmarks. Click the option and I would get a nice listing of my bookmarks. I could arrange by usage. More recent sites could be listed at the top of the list. then I could then select the site to visit and everything was good to go. Not so any more. I have many sites bookmarked but the entire list is presented to me, in no particular order. I have to scroll down to find the site to be visited.

I have Window 10

Signed in to Firefox with my Google account on my new OnePlus Pad 3. running Android 15 First security message from Google was ‘ Someone has just signed in to your account on a Linux device’ next time it was Simeon’s has signed in ‘using a device with Android 10’

  Any ideas or is this a customary error?

My new Win 11 PC out the box with a Firefox installed on it, worked fine for 2 weeks then an update from you guys causes it to crash, it is stuck in a perpertual reboot loop as windows crash, close then the app restarts despite being told to close, only a reboot will stop it from trying to open and then cause memory leaks.

Also, when are you guys going to incorporate a "Roll back feature" for these situations, so that the older working version can be retrieved.

All my important logins are on firefox and your programmers, whatever they did have jeopardised my ability to access important accounts.

I best check my androind tablet hasn't updates or I will be up the wazoo without a failsafe... Well played Mozilla Devs...

Allow notifications to get instant alerts about new messages and updates.”I want to enable push notifications with sound for Facebook and WhatsApp Web on Firefox but I am unsure how to allow the permissions correctly

I have the issue that despite hardware acceleration is working Firefox causes a high cpu usage which leads to the CPU is constantly boosting to high frequencies and this to higher power consumption. In about:processes of Firefox I can see that the main process is at CPU usage around 150% or higher and tabs (8 in total usually) that contain live stream video spiking up to 50%. nvtop, intel_gpu_top and LACT all indicate that hardware acceleration is working. btop shows even a CPU usage of the Firefox main process over 175%. The overall CPU usage of the system is at 60%. I couldn’t find any helpful information so far in the internet. Maybe here we can get trace of the cause. The reason is I want to bring down the power consumption. Question is is there an issue or I am facing a (hardware) limitation.

I did two traces with Firefox profiler.

Here and here are the results.

I can provide additional information and logs if needed.

so my work gmail has a block on gmail and before i would open a private tab and then youtube would work, but after i signed into my work email on my private tab now i cant open youtube again. how would i sign out of my account on a private tab but not on normal firefox.

not all windows appear in the drop down "window" menu, and a different number when each window is on top. Weird.

Using Mac OSX. Nothing is "full screen." Seems to be nothing to do with if a window is minimized or not.

I have restarted. Recently updated, and lost profile, but recovered it, but lost all my open windows & tabs, so now I have only 5 windows open. Seems to be nothing to do with if a window is minimized (OSX) or not. Needs a better mechanism to save open windows & tabs along with profile data.
