I was in the middle of setting up a secondary profile with sync when the browser froze and became unresponsive for a few minutes. I killed the task and reopened the profile, it lacked the theme color I'd chosen and sync was not enabled. When trying to enable sync, I got the error message shown in the screenshot. To be clear, the profile it's asking me to switch to 'is' the profile I'm in. I've tried deleting the profile and the associated files from About:Profiles, but this issue persists.

I've also followed the steps contained in this issue and associated issues, but the profileID already matches: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1581151

How can I resolve this so that I can sync this profile?

Previous to version 151.0.1, when I pressed ctrl-L, Firefox focused the URL bar and I was able to edit the URL. Now, on 151.0.1, pressing ctrl-L clears the URL and a dropdown for the search engine appears in the left of the URL bar (see attached screenshot). I have verified this on a new, blank profile. Is there a way to restore the old behavior?

I've been using alt+a to open new tabs in a multi account container for a long time. Recently that shortcut stopped working possibly with the update to v148 as indicated in this reddit thread.

alt+a is not listed as a shortcut in about:keyboard or in about:addons > manage extension shortcuts or in my ubuntu shortcuts nor in any software I can think of thats running. I've disabled all add-ons except multi account containers and it still does not work. Changing the shortcut to another works fine.

Why would just that shortcut stop working? What else can I do to diagnose the problem?

The email address is valid and active, and I do have access to it.

Firefox appearance is custom and doesn't match system theme and widget set

I'm using Ubuntu 24 with the XFCE desktop. I'm installing the debs straight off packages.mozilla.org (currently 143.0.3).

Firefox's title bar, and window manager buttons do not have the same look and feel as the rest of my windows. And I have no idea where they're coming from.

They do change appearance in response to picking the different styles in Settings > Appearance, but the changes appear to be limited to colors only. The minimize, maximize and close buttons look differently than on all other windows, and they are more spread out than in, and the shade button is nowhere to be found.

I'm attaching two small images, the first one is the standard set of widgets all other windows have, and the second one is Firefox's odd duck. I could not find anything in settings. "Extensions And Themes" shows that "System theme" is enabled. Well, it's coming up a bit short...

I have a few questions regarding the auto-update policy of extensions installed via ExtensionSettings with the force_installed installation mode.

  1. Can the extension receive auto-updates just like extensions installed through normal means? (e.g. extensions installed from https://addons.mozilla.org)
  2. If so, will the user be notified when the extension requests new permissions?

Similar names for Connected Services make "Send to Device" on Android unable to differentiate devices. The workaround is to "send to all devices". I can change my device names but I don't know how to change the Connected Service name. Here are some:

  • * * geoffrey’s Firefox on Geoffreys-q551ln-ASUS-Laptop
  • * * Gwheeler’s Firefox on GWHEELER-SM
  • * * Firefox on asus ASUS_AI2202

  • * * Firefox on samsung SM-G781V
  • * * gwheeler’s Firefox on GWHEELER-LT-SM
  • * * Firefox on SM-G960U1 Santa Maria, CA, United States

How can we improve this? Abbreviate Firefox to "Ff"? Use an in-line Firefox glyph? Also, I have a dualboot and run Lubuntu and Windows from the same device. I wonder how I can handle the device name to differentiate which OS I'm logged into.

Can you send me an email with instructions and any special sudo lines I need to intall so I do not get charged a second time. I heve the recovery code. I am new to Mint. Windows 11 started knocking out my hardware with power surges. Had to come from the operating system itself since the machine is hooked to a power backup that smoothes the current out. Converted everything to Linux. Like it. Life can be cruel... LOL Thanks so much for the effort. [edited] landline, but best bet is email. [edited phone# and email from community support forum]
