Diễn đàn hỗ trợ Firefox

I got a replacement computer for my old one which will not start up, i use a Firefox browser so how do i transfer my files, passwords, bookmarks and desktop icons from my old computer to my new one?

I have had Firefox for three days now, and I was trying to watch some videos on Netflix, but I got this error that the DRM was not installed. I did not have any plugins installed or VPN on either. I was looking for steps to solve this but came to a dead end. I tried looking into the console, and it gave me errors with turning off/on the DRM. I would like to get some help with this.

When uninstalling Firefox developer edition my anti virus firewall popped this message:

"Firefox Developer Edition Helper does not have a valid digital signature"

Filename: Un_A.exe

Does anyone know anything about this?

I want the version (which i assume is the ESR one) OFF my computer. I have downloaded a "regular version" (116.0.3) and have followed all instructions I have found on this site. It gets to a point and says it can't find the file. There is no README or Install file in the download so I am stuck. Please help me because I want the ESR version GONE!!! Thanks for any help! R

All of a sudden Firefox won't load. I get this message ...

"Firefox is already running, but is not responding. The old Firefox process must be closed to open a new window."

There is no other window open and I still get this message. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it and I still get this message when the program won't load.

Help!

FF says "account disconnected" but I did not disconnect it.

Ok. So reconnect and launch sync. No problem. 4 other machines have FF and syncing works great.

See tabs etc synced just as I am used to from decades of happily using FF.

But close out and restart. WIN 11 new desktop.

Come back to FF and get "account disconnected".

Your thoughts greatly appreciated!

I am trying to install VPN for the first time on my MacBook Pro, 13.5.2 (22G91). I get the message VPN is on - No Signal - Check connection. I found the advice on troubleshooting and added Mozilla VPN by my Firewall, but it did not change anything. Now I am trying to reset Mozilla VPN by clicking 6 consecutive times in the Get Help to reach Developer Options, as adviced in your Troubleshooting article, but to no avail. What can I do?

Whenever I install a new version of Firefox it deletes the "Distribution" folder (in Windows "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\distribution"). So I have to keep a backup copy in another location so I can restore it.

Why? What is the purpose of doing this? It makes no sense. Is there a configuration setting to stop this?

Current OS: Win10 22H2 x86 [64-bit]

Was running FF 115.1.0 ESR [64-bit] and wanted to upgrade to the latest ESR [115.2.0 64-bit] Using this 115.1 on following release notes page, clicked the blue 'Download Firefox ESR' button www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/115.2.0/releasenotes/

[this blue button link is https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-esr-latest-ssl&os=win&lang=en-US]

This downloaded file 'Firefox Setup 102.15.0esr.exe' i.e. this is the latest 102, and not 115 As I didn't notice this was not the expected version [doh! My weak excuse is I switchedg the 15 and 2], I went ahead and installed this earlier version ontop of my existing, getting the usual prompts

When I ran the 'new' FF, I got a 'You've launched an older version of Firefox' dialog Process explorer shows this app as ver 102.15.0.8634 32-bit app

I used another browser to download 115.2.0 64-bit 'Firefox Setup 115.2.0esr.exe' and installed atop then all was ok

So apart from why it downloaded the older version, shouldn't running the 102 install ontop of 115 prompt user that 1) installing an earlier version 2) installing 32-bit app when previous was 64-bit

This could have been v confusing to some users so just wanted to point it out...

FYI: I previously ran 102.14 ESR before upgrading it to 115.1 a few weeks ago

P.S. I think issue 2) has happened to me before - I didn't notice for a while [so switching bit width is transparent...impressive :-)]

Sirs;

I've searched for this solution and all say "Click on the FireFox Button" which does not exist, so what is the real anser.

I never ever, as in "HELL FREEZING OVDEER" want anything in the windows default "Downloads" Directory, so need this solution ASAP!

My downloads must go to the "RIGHT" folder depending on the "TYPE" of download for I download things for 1.) Windows, 2.) Linux, 3.) Programs, 4.) Install Packages, 5.) Support Items, etc. so having the right files in the right place is essential, especially since all must "SYNV" with my LINUX server.

Cheers!

I'm having a problem with Win 11 that will likely require that I reinstall the OS. I decided to move most of the data in my User folder by right clicking and changing the drive from "C:" to "E:" in the Locations tab. Firefox was closed as a I did this, it worked fine, and then I restarted the PC. Upon opening Firefox none of the extensions are working and I'm not sure what to do.

On 30 August 2023, when opening Mozilla the second time in a day, a pop up window emerged asking whether I allow Mozilla to make changes on my hard drive (or: hardware - I cannot remember now) due to the updates.

I clicked yes, as otherwise Mozilla would not work, then an opening site appeared about the new features of the update, and talking about the possibility of the VPN service.

It seems that now I am working on the latest version of Mozilla released first on 29 August 2023 - 117.0. When checking in the settings, the date of the installation was also 29 August and not 30 August. This made me puzzled, why I got this pop out window only on 30th, and in addition only after the second usage of the browser (however, when checking in my comp settings, the update of Mozilla is dated 30 August 2023)... In addition, as never before I have seen Mozilla asking for making hard drive changes, I got worried whether it was not a kind of virus or other malware pretending to be Mozilla.

Could you please confirm whether the pop-out window asking for the changes to hard drive was indeed just Mozilla asking for valid changes? I am very worried I got a malware on my computer, although the antivirus scan does not show anything.

I have asked some friends and they had the actualization automatically done without this pop-out window.

I have checked some online discussions and verified in the properties that Mozilla is NOT allowed to run as administrator. Also, the "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" was also unchecked.

Thank you in advance for your answer!

Good Evening, I believe I have DuckDuckGo as my current search engine but would like to add "Startpage" as the search engine I use (the URL is https://www.startpage.com/search/?q=%s ).

Can someone help me add this so I have Startpage vs. DuckDuckGo please?

Thanks in advance, Mike T
