I've downloaded the Firefox-recommended "search by image" extension. I can't figure out how to actually use it. Watched several videos, but none of those included the "how to use it" aspect.

If someone has time to respond to this, I'll very much appreciate detail and completeness - I'm afraid I'm not very intuitive.

Thanks in advance

Hello! I am a user from Russia. Our Roskomnadzor blocks Firefox sync addresses. Unfortunately, this makes it difficult to synchronize browsers on different devices. Can you tell me how to get around this and keep the synchronization option?

So I just upgraded my pc and it bricked my windows and to reinstall, I forgot to save the Firefox data before doing so because I thought it wouldn't cause any issue, well, now all my bookmarks etc. are gone and I'm wondering if there is some sort of backup somewhere saved by Mozilla in the cloud.

I don't understand why auto:config is so difficult (for me at least) to create. Isn't there an easier way? I've tried following the directions and creating the 2 files. But I can't manage to successfully create auto:config.

I created and pasted the first tile into the prefs folder. For the 2nd, I noticed the firefox.cfg file I created in Notepad appended a .txt suffix. I pasted it into the Firefox top directory. Then typed auto:config into the address bar. Nothing happened. Can anyone tell what I did wrong? Is the .txt suffix not recognized? Or is there's an easier way to do this?

Hello. I regularly sign up for online conferences, then when I get the confirmation email with the details I can't transfer it to the calendar. I even tried saving the ical event separately but when I try opening it using Thunderbird I get an error message. The only way I found is to transfer the contents manually and create an event on calendar, which is time consuming. Anyone knows how to fix this? Thank you in advance

A substantial portion of email spam that I receive has a couple of characteristics: - the subject line includes "Sonic", and - the sender is plainly not Sonic.

For example:

Return-Path: <live1@tomokawasaki.or.jp> Received: from tomokawasaki.or.jp (tomokawasaki.or.jp [122.1.223.161]) by mwb-sdgw-mts-005c1.ocn.ad.jp (Postfix) with ESMTP id 063B61400008F for <ronks@sonic.net>; Sun, 19 Jul 2026 07:07:06 +0900 (JST) From: =?UTF-8?B?U29uaWMg0JLRlmxs0ZbQv2c=?= <live1@tomokawasaki.or.jp> (From translates to "Sonic Billing" here; in other spam it is cleartext) Subject: Automatic Payment Unsuccessful To: <ronks@sonic.net>

I am wondering if it is possible to construct a filter that says basically: If Subject includes Sonic AND From does not include Sonic Then Send to Trash (or mark as spam or whatever)

Can this be done?

My Firefox account data seem to have ben ALL deleted after a regular computer restart. There are no backups in the Firefox profile folder either. Years worth of passwords, bookmarks, tabs ALL GONE. After computer restart, when I was restarting Firefox, I vaguely remember a prompt on the screen that Firefox servers don't contain any data for my profile anymore. How could this have been brought on by a computer restart though?Any ideas what is the problem here, and how to recover my profile data? Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

Hello- Am having trouble with my settings( I think) Want to be sure Firefox is default browser, and use Adobe Reader as my PDF default. All I get is "download Firefox" ! Get all regular updates, so why can't I see "settings" ? Thank you

I want to import my Chrome bookmarks into Firefox but I keep getting asked for my keychain password. I've tried my Apple I’d password and my Firefox account password. Neither works.

Is there a way to open a website in desktop mode by default when opened through a link created by Add To Home Page? It opens in desktop mode when I open up Firefox and navigate there, but even on tablet with the default mode set to Desktop, opening the site from a home page link always opens in mobile, and I have to switch it to desktop every time.

I am on release 140.12.1 esr and there appears to be no new updates available. If so, what release should I be on and can I just download and install to get back on the latest release

Sehr geehrtes Support-Team,

ich habe seit Kurzem ein Problem mit Firefox auf meinem PC. Es erscheint folgende Fehlermeldung:

   „Das Lesezeichen- und Chronik-System wird nicht funktionieren, da eine der Dateien von Firefox von einer anderen Anwendung verwendet wird. Dieses Problem könnte von einer Sicherheitssoftware verursacht werden, beispielsweise von einem Virenscanner.“

Ich nutze dasselbe Firefox-Konto auf meinem Handy und auf meinem iPad. Dort funktioniert die Synchronisierung der Lesezeichen ohne Probleme. Das Problem tritt nur auf meinem PC auf.

Ich arbeite bereits seit mehreren Jahren mit Firefox und hatte dieses Problem bisher noch nie. In meinen Lesezeichen sind sehr viele wichtige Webseiten gespeichert, deshalb möchte ich diese auf keinen Fall verlieren.

Können Sie mir bitte mitteilen, wie ich dieses Problem beheben kann, ohne dass meine Lesezeichen verloren gehen?

Vielen Dank für Ihre Unterstützung.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Meik

I've asked this question before, but have gotten no response. Maybe I'm not explaining it clearly enough. I will try again. When I name a new file folder, how do I get it in the correct alphabetical order? I end up making it a subfolder in under another incorrect folder or it does not get in correct alphabetical order. I hope this is clearer to understand. I just don't know how to make it any plainer. Thank you for your kind response.

Been to various sites for diag info. I have uninstalled antivirus and tried it, no joy. I have done all the following to each folder - compess, repair, deleted old emails, etc. (I actually have rules that are to do this automatically). I have captured config info, uninstalled and installed fresh. Still have the problem. -- and finally restored so I still have email addresses, etc. etc. This problem has started for me with in the past 2 weeks.

1) ALSO note: I am running W11 home. Mozilla keeps calling this W10. I do not know what the difference is between Home and Pro, but I am planning to upgrade to PRO within 2 months (looking for a reasonable deal on the cost of the upgrade). 2) Wife's computer is W11 Pro, she does not have the problem.
