OS: Windows 11 PRO and Windows 11 Home (both 64-bit) Firefox Version: 135.0

Recently set up a computer to use latest version of Firefox. Thought I could just copy and paste the files in the profile folder to the new computer. Found out that didn't work so deleted all the files in the profile folder on the new computer. Copied to a USB stick the Profiles folder on the old computer (according to instructions here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles). Pasted the folder to the Profiles folder on the new computer.

Attempted to start the Profile Manage without starting Firefox on the new computer in order to create a new profile and point it to the files just copied. This is where the problem occurs!

Regardless of what I type in the "Run" dialog box, Profile Manager will NOT open! After hitting Enter, it opens Firefox! I've tried typing all of the following in the "Run" space:

firefox.exe -P
firefox.exe -p
firefox.exe -ProfileManager

What am I doing wrong? Any help would certainly be appreciated1

Thanks.

This appears to be a Firefox issue because this only happens in Firefox. I have 2 Microsoft accounts. I am logged in to my Windows 11 computer with my primary Microsoft account. I can log in to my secondary Microsoft account on Edge (Windows), Chrome (Windows), Safari (on iPhone), but not when using Firefox. I can log in to my primary Microsoft account on Firefox.

Both primary and secondary Microsoft accounts require phishing resistant MFA - physical security key, or passkey via authenticator app on mobile phone - of which I have both set up for my secondary account to try to resolve this issue.

When I log in to office.com on Firefox using my secondary account I receive a message that says, "We couldn't sign you in. If you're using a passkey from another mobile device, make sure Bluetooth is turned on for both devices."

I've got bluetooth turned on for both devices, I've even connected both devices via bluetooth but this doesn't help. I've tried clicking the option to "Other ways to sign in" but it doesn't give me a choice of whether I want to use my security key, or my iPhone passkey.

Alternatively on my primary account, I get the option to use my security key, my iPhone device, or even the pin through Windows Hello, and they all work.

Again, this failure on my secondary account only happens in Firefox, no other browser has the same behavior. I know I can use Chrome or Edge instead of Firefox, but I prefer Firefox so I want to resolve this. Firefox is up to date 136.0.1

Please help, thanks.

i am trying to get my bookmarks to another computer that i had reset. During reset i lost all, however, the bookmarks remain on my other computer. i tried to transfer the HTML files via email, but they wont transfer. Please help upload

The small green dot in the upper right that notifies me of a pending update is gone, since several months. When I navigate to About Firefox, or in the settings, I can see that a new version is available and it lets me install the update. But I miss being able to see the notification.

Did I disable some setting by mistake? Auto-updates should be turned on as far as I know.

What a dirty trick! I updated Firefox to version 136.0.1 to stop all the nagging, and my tabs disappeared! Nothing I could do brought them back. I asked the internet and finally learned about the sidebar, where tiny icons are shown (which I hadn't noticed). Nothing I could do with the sidebar brought the tabs back. Asked the internet again, and finally I found that buried in the Preferences is Browser Layout. When I deselected "Show sidebar," the tabs came back. What a dirty trick to make that the default, with no clue how to undo it! Nothing in the menus or the Help was any help. P.S., I am not a computer novice; I was a systems programmer in my professional life and have been using Firefox for many years.

Until I installed the latest update (136.0.1) I could open Firefox and navigate, never having to log into PW manager until I came to a site where I had to log in and use a saved PW. I have many sites where my login is remembered, and I don't have to log in, so this isn't needed most of the time.

Now EVERY time I open Firefox that request for my primary PW pops up and I have to hit CANCEL twice to clear it before I can to anything. It's an annoying pain in the tush.

How do I turn this off, or set it so that that pops up ONLY when I have to log into a site?

Latest update of Win 10 3/15/25

Thanks.

Suddenly Citi Bank won't let me make payment via Firefox browser, say I have to use Chrome or the MS They say it's Firefox issue not theirs. I don't want to use any other browser. I've always made payments to my banks on the private browser Firefox. Suddenly cannoit.

I have over 2000 tabs stored in multiple tab groups using the Legacy extension "TAB GROUPS" in Firefox 56. I recognize this is out of date and I was going to migrate the tabs to the current version. I was unaware that Tab Group would no longer be verified as of March 14. I need to save all of the tabs in TAB GROUPS to favorites. Is there someway to temporarily enable TAB GROUPS so I can recover the websites? Is there a session file that has the websites that I can access? Help - I am in desperate need!

I used to be able to make my own settings in Bing, but since the last update my settings are no longer stored. Each time I change them, when I open a new tab the BIng defaults are used. How do I get Firefox to accept my Bing preferences?

Hello, I am from Ukraine and I use a translator, sorry for that. I have poor physical and mental health. I have Windows XP and there is no possibility to buy a newer computer. Yesterday all my browser extensions were disabled. They are very important to me. I accept and understand all the risks. I beg you, please let me use these extensions. Please help...

I don't what or how it happened.

But one night all I can remember was I updated my Firefox in Windows and my account was synced. I use to have all my browser history on my Macbook air. But suddenly the next day I discover that all of my history is gone. I have no idea what caused or how I can recover it again. I tried the internet and nothing helped me with my problem. So now I'm resorting to this and hopefully someone can tell me what to do.

Since last month, I'm periodically experiencing problems with AOL's homepage (with its scrolling news articles) not loading properly on my screen, with all links - including the email link - scrunched over to the left hand side of the page and no images appearing at all. I do seem to be able to see all information properly if I switch to MICROSOFT EDGE as the browser, but FIREFOX is - and always has been - my default browser and never had this problem until recently.
