Firefox Community Forum

I thought original profile would save all my bookmarks, history, passwords, etc. I created a second profile for work, but that also does not contain any of my bookmarks, history, passwords, etc. I imported my bookmarks and other history/passwords from EDGE. I did this in my work profile because I couldn't get my original profile to import anything. I signed into work with my main firefox e-mail and exported bookmarks to HTML so I could upload it in my original profile. The original profile now wont log in and says I need a different e-mail account, so I'll lose everything on my original profile. It is ridiculous that my profiles don't have the same log on and don't use the same e-mail. I need someone to help me recover my system to normal working function. This has been a horrible experience and profiles are unusable.

HELLO, DUE TO YOUR UPGRADE, WHICH CAME TO ME TODAY, alllllllll OF MY BOOKMARKS HAVE BEEN LOST, OR SOMETHING. Who has the TIME? to read your instructions, which usually don't follow through with any results.

I can't say enough trashy things to you that I don't have the time to deal with this issue.

Every time I try to use Google as a search engine in Firefox, this message appears. "About this page Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This page checks to see if it's really you sending the requests, and not a robot. Why did this happen?:

I believe this occurred earlier in the year but was marked as solved. Immediately after Firefox automatically update to 151.0 64 bit today (in Western Australia), I am plagued with it as well.

I have tried disabling extensions and am not (I believe) running in incognito mode.

Any suggestions please?

I set my search engine as DuckDuckgo for privacy some time ago. I deleted Bing and others from the list of browsers as well. I made some effort to set up Firefox and my computer in general as privately oriented as possible without breaking things. I come on Firefox today and see Google has been set as me default search engine again, the other search engines are back in my list and Duckduckgo sitting on the back bench. I seem to be in the battle with Windows as well. I shut off unnecessary data transfer like customer satisfaction BS and they return like a bad rash. I am no tech whiz but I put a lot of work into my privacy only to have it reversed. What do I do?

HP INTEL LAPtop: Windows 11 Fails two sequential video mp4 links using basic html Video code

Works in iphone firefox,safari,opera,PC Edge but NOT PC firefox.

I clicked on a PDF website while searching for articles on relations between Ukrainian settlers and First Nations people. Instead of opening so I could read it, it was automatically downloaded as a file into Firefox. Unfortunately, I noticed the title had random parentheses in AFTER I clicked on it to read it. I updated Windows defender, and ran the offline scan. I also uploaded and ran MSN.com M.S.R.T. and Malware Bytes, but they found nothing.

What happened? Did I unwittingly install Russian malware into my computer, or does Fire Fox automatically download some PDF websites as files?

Thanks,

Charlotte

I no longer use Mozilla VPN. Too many times I had to stop to visit sites and or delete and reload to get VPN to work. Please cancel my subscription. [edited from public] @centurylink.net Charles McFatter

Every other day or so VPN attempts to connect to my chosen location and just freezes. Cannot connect, tries to verify connection, and then just hangs. I can't close it, even with Task Manager. I have to reboot my computer (win 10) and that takes 4 minutes and 40 seconds - I timed it. It makes me not want to use the VPN. I have tried asking VPN for recommended sites and even after trying them it still won't connect.

Very Frustrating. Not worth paying for if I can't connect.

Thanks . . . Alan

Also frustrating that I cannot contact support directly but must use this forum. The "make contact " box in the app will not work either.

After Fire Fox does an upgrade for the next 3 to 4 days I cannot connect to web sites that circle just keeps spinning. Sometimes after about 20 to 30 minutes it might connect but then all I get is blank pages. Unfortunately I'm stuck with windows 10 for a while longer. Have tried most of the solutions refreshed 4 times and even reinstalled 3 times but doesn't change anything. Any ideas? Thanks
