I am new to Firefox and tried to import the Google Chrome Bookmark Toolbar bookmarks. This did not happen and need to get the items listed in the Chrome Bookmark Toolbar into my Firefox Browser.

Out of 3 devices, one is not syncing at all. Here are my logs:

It says Login failed, but I have successfully logged out and back into my firefox account.

I updated my desktop browser today and now there is an expandable sidebar at the left margin of the window showing tool icons for Tabs from other devices, History and Customize sidebar. I can see how to remove tool icons and how to expand or collapse sidebar but can I remove the sidebar completely? Is this an option? I prefer the old look with the browser web page content extending all the way to the left of the screen, without the narrow vertical sidebar.

I have perhaps read 50 articles on this. A month or so ago I could easily cut and paste into both Microsoft Word and Outlook from other documents within the firefox browser. . This stopped working but I could then use the short cut ((Ctr-V) then that stopped working. Now i can sometimes use Ctr-Shift- V but not always. I have two monitors so I can check my clipboard and easily and consistently paste the same content on the same Microsoft products On Google; I prefer to stay with Firefox but if the functionality is going to get worse I will have to shift to Google. Is this going to be fixed? thanks very much

Trying to download a zip file to be able to move forward with this job offer with Turbo tax and it will not let me. Need to find & remove the problem they said. I have no tech experience. Please help.

Firefox prompted me fo close and reopen for an update. When I opened it, I discovered that oreI had to open the sidebar to open a new tab. I hope there is a way to restore the way I am used to open tabs, from the top of the screen rather than the left or right side.

I noticed my sandbox security.sandbox.content.level is set to 8. This must be the default as I have never changed it. The only reason I even looked at it is because of a recent fix/release mention sandbox issues 136.0.4.

At one time I thought all they had was 3 levels, but I never paid much attention and have never looked until today.

For about the last 2 months, when I either get a notification that an update is available or I manually check for updates, both Firefox and Thunderbird are stuck in "Downloading updates -- 0 bytes" on 2 Windows 11 computers. Eventually, like a half an hour to an hour later, the update downloads and I can install the update. This has been going on for 2 months now. As a 20 plus year user of Mozilla and also a long-time financial contributor, this problem going on for 2 months is getting old. And yes, I have checked my antivirus and firewall. Is Mozilla aware of the problem and is there a solution?

The translate option pops up everytime that i open the browser or open a new window in the browser and its annoying as hell how do i remove it because i dont see any options where i can disaple it

HI,

if i have text and copy that and want to paste in body of yahoo mail, it used to let me to paste now it doesn't however if i right click and select paste without formatting then it will paste it is strange as: it is not Yahoo as i can do that with Chrome however if i paste to google search bar in Firefox it will let me paste

Any help Please?

Thanks

Hamid

I'm on WinXP and Win7; FF is there respectively on ESR 52.6.0, and 56.0.2.

• • Pls refrain from lecturing me on updating etc. I need it to be this way for umpteen reasons. Thanks for understanding.**

First, all of a sudden all my legacy add-ons were disabled. Most of them ensure FF looks like it did ages ago, which is what I'm used to, and need, to function properly myself. They overall are no longer maintained or downloadable, hence the need to stay on lower browser versions as well.

Managed to fix that.

Then, last Fri, my webmail provider missed updating their security certificate. They seemingly later do, but I am left unable to access their website from FF on both machines, and Chrome on the XP. Disaster.

The error messages I get are, in FF:

[www.netaddress.com] uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown. The server might not be sending the appropriate intermediate certificates. An additional root certificate may need to be imported.

Error code: <a id="errorCode" title="SEC\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\_ERROR\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\_UNKNOWN\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\_ISSUER">SEC\_ERROR\_UNKNOWN\_ISSUER</a>

and in Chrome:

classic.netaddress.com normally uses encryption to protect your information. When Google Chrome tried to connect to classic.netaddress.com this time, the website sent back unusual and incorrect credentials. This may happen when an attacker is trying to pretend to be classic.netaddress.com, or a Wi-Fi sign-in screen has interrupted the connection. Your information is still secure because Google Chrome stopped the connection before any data was exchanged.

You cannot visit [classic.netaddress.com] right now because the website uses HSTS. Network errors and attacks are usually temporary, so this page will probably work later.

When running a SSL server test on their certificate it turned back: Chain issues Incorrect order, Contains anchor

No idea if that's relevant.

I tried just abt everything I was handed, could think of, or googled. Adding an exception included. Nothing works. Logically, the error should be on their end (w/ their old certificate, it all worked fine, now it doesn't), but somehow I keep being directed to that your root certificate having expired is the culprit.

Earlier today, I took the plunge and updated FF to 72.0.2 on the Win7 machine. (My webmail doesn't have full functionality on Chrome, so I was still very hampered in that regard there.) Now I can access the webmail -- but all my add-ons AGAIN are disabled. And what I did before to make the work does now NOT work anymore.

Can someone pls take me out of my misery? My whole existence is falling apart. I am already on 75 % (invisible) disability. Nothing works, least of all I. I am days behind on an already massively overburdened schedule. Not everyone can handle constant updates and their user interface being changed all the time. Some ppl are dependent on things looking and acting the exact same.

I'd like my add-ons back functional on the Win7 machine, and my webmail back -- INCLUDING the add-ons remaining functional, on the WinXP. Thank you.

I have always used FireFox for my browser, and I have the Homepage set to open to Google. In the past week, it no longer opens to Google, but a blank, new tab. I have tried going into "Settings", "Home" and setting the Homepage to open to Google, but it won't do it. I tried setting it to open to other webpages and it does it with no issue. Apparently, opening to Google is an issue. How do I correct this, and have others had this same issue?
