Hi!

I've been a Firefox user ever since I've had an internet connection (probably around 2008). Whenever I would do a clean Windows installation every 1 or 2 years, I remember I would have my passwords, history, and extensions synced. Today I performed a clean reinstall again after maybe 2 years and I don't have any of my old history, passwords, extensions.

I'm a bit desperate, I have really important stuff saved over the years. I use Tree Style Tabs and I've customized my browser client to fit my needs and it was perfect, but I seem to have lost everything and I don't know what happened. It didn't even cross my mind something like this would happen.

Is there anything I can do? I have old emails from 2018 and 2021 from Firefox Accounts which show I used the same email.

Today when I tried to log-in into Firefox Accounts from inside the browser (button at the top right corner) it seemed that none of my passwords worked, so I clicked the "Forgot email" password and set-up a better one, but once logged in there was no sync with the old data I had. Then I thought maybe I had the wrong account so I logged in with my Google/Gmail account but there was nothing there as well.

Is there something I can do? I really need my old history, passwords, extensions, etc. Especially now as I'm graduating from University and I have important events coming up.

And no, I don't have any local profiles any more since I did a full, clean reinstall on my primary SSD. But I remember I've never used local profiles, everything would sync up again once I logged in. Maybe forgetting and resetting my password logged out my previous session and I lost it forever?

I hope you can help me sort this out.

Thank you for your time!

When previewing an image that was uploaded to a Google Calendar Event, I get an error "Couldn't preview file. There was a problem displaying this image." I've spoken to Google support and they suggested I reach out as when I try in Chrome, it works. Firefox is my preferred browser so I would love if I didn't have to switch to Chrome.

Troubleshooting Done: - Verified Firefox is up to date (130.0 64 bit) - Cleared cache and cookies, closed browser, reopened - Tried in 'Troubleshoot Mode' - Ad Blocker turned off - Uploaded test .png and .jpeg to see if it was a file extension issue - Uploaded smaller versions of images to see if it was a size issue - No issues when doing same steps in Chrome browser

Hi,

I've been wanting to switch from Chrome to Firefox for the longest time, but I can't do it since surround audio doesn't seem to be supported natively in Firefox. I'm using a Logitech G733, with "Surround Audio" activated in GHub, and on Chromium based browsers, it works, I hear it when watching Youtube videos, Twitch streams..., but on Firefox, it defaults to stereo audio. I haven't been able to find any settings related to audio in Firefox, nor in the concerned websites. Is it a known issue ?

So why are you FORCING people to switch browsers if they don't want to comply? Because I'd rather do that than enable two-factor authentication for such useless accounts

Tenable is reporting 128.1 and 128.2 as affected by vulnerabilities covered in CVEs' in their plugin 205009 ( https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/205009 ). The rule they are applying is: Mozilla Firefox < 129 That implies that 128.1 and 128.2 are also < then 129 -> therefor vulnerable. Can you please answer 2 questions:

  • are Firefox 128.1 and 128.2 part of the same branch of product as 129? Or are they necessarily ESR?
  • are Firefox 128.1 and 128.2 affected by CVEs' covered in their TENABLE plugin 205009?

Approximately 2 years back, for a short period of time, FireFox let you choose an audio output device in video conferencing web apps, through the web app directly.

This seems to be gone now, but I'd like to turn the feature back on.

It's very problematic to have to change your default audio device for video calls, as your computers sound effects and whatnot will also play in your headset as well, where as before, all you got was the audio from the video call in your headset.

Is there a way to turn this on again? Owl Practice (one of the VC web apps I use) still shows the different output devices, but regardless of which one you pick, it always comes out the default device. For a while this feature actually worked, but now it doesn't.

Is there a setting I can change? Maybe in about:config?

Thanks!
