This problem has never happened before. This happened in the last few minutes. The whole screen suddenly went blank while I was trying to find out today's weather. I am suspicious of malicious interference with my computer. Any help you can give me will be reassuring.

I've had a problem for a while where Firefox tells me "Firefox is being updated by another instance" and the only way I've been able to get updates is by using the installer.

In my attempts to resolve this, I learned of the `about:profiles`. I have never set up profiles so I figures I should only have the 1 default profile but it turns out I have `default`, `default-release`, default-release-1`, and `default-release-2`.

Of these profiles, the `default-release` is the 1 that has my data while it is `default-release-1` that is able to update.

I would like to make it so that I only have 1 profile that has all of my data AND is able to update.

I already tried removing all the profiles accept the one with my data but that leaves Firefox unable to update. I restored all the profiles I removed and I am back to where I started.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hello,

is it possible to get a button or a shortcut to toggle the option full-screen-api.ignore-widgets without using about:config? An addon is not possible I guess because it is an internal option addons shouldn't have access to this.

I've been using the extension "Tree Style Tab" and "TST Colored Tabs." I've been looking for a way to disable the native Firefox tab bar, whether on top of the window or to the left side. I haven't been successful on my own.

After a couple of hours troubleshooting this with CoPilot, It suggested I post the following short summary:

============

Firefox 152.0.6 (64-bit) about:profiles shows active profile: C:\Users\dmerc\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\usm8kxcr.default-release

Opening that directory from about:support shows an empty folder.

profiles.ini references: agwp164m.default-release

userChrome.css loads correctly in a separate profile but not in the profile containing my current extensions and history.

============

The details of how it came to this conclusion:

============

Based on everything you've found:

The profile with your current extensions and recent history is reported as: usm8kxcr.default-release

Opening that profile folder shows an empty directory. The only other real profile on disk is: agwp164m.default-release

We successfully proved userChrome.css loads in a different test profile (Profile 1) because the toolbar turned red. Therefore, the CSS mechanism itself works on your machine.

My conclusion is that your Firefox profile registration has become inconsistent. Firefox appears to be using a profile that does not correspond cleanly to the profile folders you're seeing in Explorer. At this point I would:

Back up the entire folder: (NOTE: DONE - backed to to another drive) C:\Users\dmerc\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox

Keep using the profile that contains your extensions and recent history. Avoid deleting any profiles or profile folders.

Post the details you've collected to either: the Mozilla Support forum, or r/firefox

The key facts to provide are: Firefox 152.0.6 (64-bit)about:profiles shows active profile: C:\Users\dmerc\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\usm8kxcr.default-release.

Opening that directory from about:support shows an empty folder.

profiles.ini references: agwp164m.default-release

userChrome.css loads correctly in a separate profile but not in the profile containing my current extensions and history. \ Those facts point to a profile-management issue rather than a Tree Style Tab or CSS issue.

The good news is that your current extensions and recent history are still accessible, so this doesn't look like data loss. The profile mapping itself needs to be untangled before custom CSS can reliably be applied.

It also suggested not copying any folders and files between profiles for now.

For some reason firefox uninstalled on my computer, I genuinely do not know why. When reinstalling it, I have an old save from my backup of that morning (I have it setup that way). However, I do not remember this password whatsoever and I am freaking out a little bit since I have information on there and I am just trying to get it restored onto my account.

Any help would be appreciated.

Firefox version: Latest version on Mac. MacOS: Latest version. Issues: After a certain date, I did not know what happened. After that date, I was unable to drag the local files to my Synology Nas via its "Quickconnect" service in Firefox. I made several attemps trying to have this issue solved but in vain. Eventually I had to switch back to Chrome. By the way, I am able to log into Quickconnect in Firefox and delete files.

i have been using the old yahoo for years and now it seems they changed the layout to resemble google. it sucks. if i wanted googles layout i would use my google email. if i use this term https://mail.yahoo.com/d/settings/1 i get the old yahoo setup screen and then i have to click return to mail and the old screen stays until i either restart the pc or restart fire fox. i do not see in fire fox setting an area that lets me put in a startup term like chrome has that will restart yahoo in the view i like. being that view is still there.

Just made a new profile and wiped everything from my history following another issue which isn't strictly speaking resolved. I am unable to load image-dense websites with any consistency. Issues do not occur on other browsers. I receive similar errors on Twitch:
