Hi,

I am managing some linux servers in schools.

Actualy a lot of users are working with firefox.

Depending on how the user is working with firefox, the profil may reclaims a lot of disk space.

Is there a tool working like :

firefox_cleaning_tool /path_of_profile /options xxx

with some options like : cache / etc...

For exemple : the tool flushes profiles caches files and user have no action to do to continue using firefox as usual

this kind of tool should run every month (ie with crontab)

Is there a way to do that ?

I can manual flush some folders contents but I am afraid to do mistakes.

Thanks for your help

Hi - I wanted to migrate all my changes made in the flatpak app to the aur version. I noticed the profile content has a different structure in both - aur and flatpak configs. And any attempts to replace profile content with the other resulted in browser ignoring these and initing new config files. Was wondering if my config can be ported over or thats not possible thanks.

Greetings...

I work with multiple computers that each use Firefox as their web browser. In each of the Firefox installation are bookmarks, history, and passwords that have been saved over time.

Q: Is there a manual method available that I could use to merge/combine two or more of these bookmarks/history/password "collections" into a single collection, then install the new combined collection on one or more of the multiple computers?

Please advise. Thank you very much! Take care...

Pinterest has been slow to load for the past month. Now it will not load at all. It works fine in safe mode. A fresh install of Firefox did not help anything? I see other folks are having the same problem. Amazon and Facebook are now doing the same thing in Firefox. These 3 programs work without issue in Chrome Brave and Edge. Any one have a fix?

Thanks, Wayne

Good afternoon. Since recently (probably after the last Firefox update to version 136.0) I have a problem: every time I start Firefox it requires the main password set in the settings. Before this problem did not occur, no settings were changed.

I read the official article on this topic, but the recommendations described there did not help me. I turned off the password, logged out of the browser, turned it back on, logged out again, and nothing. When I turned it back on, still at every startup it asked for the password.

I also noticed that every time I start it up, the loading circle next to the cursor spins, like something is happening. Can you tell me what it could be and how to get rid of this problem?

OS: Windows 11 24H2.

Hi all, I used to run two Firefox instances on the same computer, each one using a different account (as I mentioned in the Subject), but I don't remember how I managed this, so now that I moved to a new computer I can't reproduce it! Thanks for helping, if anyone knows. Regards, Mike

Every other day, I open FireFox and may get the following error: XULRunner - This profile was last used with a newer version of this application. Please create a new profile. Also, this error may come up while I already have had FireFox open for a while. Once this error comes up, I check the version, and sometimes the version is older than what it was, meaning, FireFox reverted back to an older version on it's own. I created a new profile, but the error comes back. I removed FireFox and all folders, and the error still comes back. There is nothing I can do to stop the error from showing up again. See attached images. I am on Windows 11 23H2, all windows updates caught up, and the current FireFox browser version is 138.03.

hej, you write oh dear, no print is possible :-((( but you write to me, that I have win10... but it is a new machine with win 11...and firefox does not work, i cant se my mails?!?!!?

When i upgraded Firefox my old profile doesn't show up now. I found my old profile under about:profiles but when i click on the Launch profile in new browser i get this message, "You've launched an older version of Firefox. Using an older version of Firefox can corrupt bookmarks and browsing history already saved to an existing Firefox profile. To protect your information, create a new profile for this installation of Firefox" I did create a new profile but how do i get my old saved data, add ons etc to the new profile?

I have a bunch of profiles set up via "about:profiles". Some of these are associated with different Mozilla accounts, some are not. Today, I wanted to rearrange those profiles to put some older profiles that I do not use as often lower on the page than more recent profiles. I thought I remembered there being an overview text file that included a number for each profile, the folder that profile's information was stored in, etc. When I went looking for that file, I could not find it, so I went looking for help articles and discovered that there is a new profile management tool.

When I tried using the new profile manager via "about:profilemanager", none of my current profiles are visible, so I cannot use that tool to reorder my profiles.

I would be grateful if you could point me to an article explaining how to reorder the profiles in "about:profiles". If that is not possible, I would appreciate a help article explaining the rationale for making these two uses of the word "profile" distinct, the ways in which these profiles are different from each other, and how to transfer settings from the older version to the newer version. I have everything set up just the way I like it within my current profiles and really do not want to have to recreate them from scratch...

I have been using the old profile manager in Firefox. How do I migrate to the new profile manager? When opening it, none of my profiles from the old manager are there.

I have tried manually copying files from the old profile to one I created with the new manager, but no bookmarks, passwords, or anything was saved, only extensions.

What do I do? Will Mozilla release a tool of some sort?

Hi,

I'm trying to set up Sync across devices but the login page at https://accounts.firefox.com it takes me to never actually does anything after I click the "Sign In" button and it becomes greyed out. See attached Screenshot.

• It definitely is the right password
• I can login here at support.mozilla.org using the same credentials unless I'm mistaken
• It happens on other browsers and on a new profile in Firefox

I'm suspecting maybe it's related to me using the Profiles feature?

Thanks!

Have had lots of problems with ffox. everything was ok, until i had a HD failure, and needed to change /update Windows 11 info.

1) I had a dual login setup (for two different id's) selected at startup. I now have about 10 different '.default' directories I am attempting to recover.

a) is there a place in the backup (default) directories that will show me the name of the acccount i was using? b) is there a way to put a comment in the (new directories) I will be re-creating? c) is there a way to put the new profile in a different spot (instead of (example: %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\) perhaps something like %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\user1 instead??

very time consuming and difficult. I am using the directory dates to try and find the best one... thanks in advance
