How do I sync between to laptops? I would like to sync my settings and bookmarks. QR code generation is ridiculous. I do not want firefox on my phone.

Many Thanks,

A few months ago when I updated to the latest version, as I always do, the bookmarks were not carried over. I restored to an earlier time to retrieve them and have been using an old version. Every time that I go to the program and when asked to update, I click "no." I am finding now that several websites will not accept Firefox. After 20 years of saving, I do not want to recreate, as I would have had to do at that time. Do I now upgrade to newest version and pray that my bookmarks are there?

For Firefox version 104.0.2, the screenshot feature is not working. This includes the icon that can be placed in the toolbar, the right click on webpage feature and the ctrl+shift+S method. You can "find" the feature (e.g., the "take screenshot" option will appear in the right clear option) but regardless of the manner selected, teh feature is inoperable.

When I receive an email from Firefox Accounts (for example when I sign in on a new device), the email is in French instead of English. All other menus and webpages from Mozilla are correctly in English. It's only Accounts emails that have this problem.

There is no language option on the settings page at accounts.firefox.com. My language is set to English on every browser I'm signed in on, and my IP is in an English-speaking region. My email client and devices are set to English as well.

My guess is that a Firefox Accounts setting was changed to French many years ago, and at some point that setting was removed, leaving it stuck in French. Anyone know a way around this?

Once again Firefox adds a feature I don't want and can't disable. I want not to have a tab bar. They take up too much screen and get in the way. So I fond code that eliminates the tab bar unless there is more than one tab. Then the latest release addes the 'search tab' down arrow I neither want nor ever asked for and I can't get rid of it.

Why do you insist on doing this Mozilla? How do I turn this useless feature off?

I have Firefox installed on Linux (Fedora), Windows, and macOS, and on Windows and Mac, I can use ctrl (cmd on Mac) + shift + Y to open the Bitwarden extension. On Linux, this instead opens the downloads library (which is normally ctrl + shift + j...). Is there any way to change the shortcuts on Linux to be the same as the other two OSes? Judging by the many many open questions on this site about changing shortcuts, I'm not holding my breath...

In the previous versions of Firefox, when selecting a language of input, all the other languages were unselected. This was a much better option than today's, where they remain selected, allowing to check in several languages simultaneously. The problem with that is that when a word exists in both languages with a small difference (accent, two letters reversed or something like that), if there is a spelling mistake, it may not appear. In the example below, "defense" should be with an accent: "défense".

Well, I'm trying to make use of the option to delete cookies without deleting some that I allow, but apparently it's buggy. I want Firefox to clear cookies every time I close the browser, however, I manually added some exceptions and even then the browser deletes these exceptions when I close it, if I can add exceptions, it's so they won't be deleted when closing.

Is there a way to turn off the scaled video stream permanently that is usually placed at the lower right of the web page. Is there a name for this. SFgate.com forces a scaled video stream when the main video stream is out of view. You can X out of the stream but it comes back eventually.

Hi, I have trouble in login. I set 2nd authentication with wrong app, and I didn't backup my recovery key. I also formatted my desktop, so I cannot find recovery key, didn't set firefox sync, and all of my device wasn't connect with my ID.

In this case, how I can recovery my ID...?

And if I cannot recovery my ID, can I delete addon that already being distributed.

When I was looking at the site and login credentials I noted there are three accounts listed:

@hotmail.com - When I log into Firefox using this account I am granted access to bookmarks and related credentials. @gmail.com - When I try to login using this account, a message is presented saying I need to log in using the main account. This makes sense as this is listed as a secondary account.

My main concern is the last account - when I try to login using those credentials, I need to go through an account set up - including providing my age. So is this an account I should be concerned with, or can it be safely ignored?

Best regards! Loralie

I need help. I took the PC in to have a virus removed and the store removed AVG Anti-Virus and installed McAfee. When I got the PC home and connected, all the Firefox settings had been changed and the AdBlocker and Greasemonkey extensions were missing. I now get a message in settings claiming my browser is being managed by my organization, only I don't have an organization. This is my own computer and no one else uses it or has access to it. I reinstalled the AdBlocker and Greasemonkey, but now cannot get Greasemonkey scripts to download. I keep getting an error message. I've had both McAfee and Staples remote support looking at the problem, to no avail.

Hi support team,

Yesterday, I suddenly removed all logins and somehow my profile was synced to the cloud.

Fortunately, I still keep all login files (json and key db files), I tried to recovery all my logins, it was successfully.

But, right after that my profile was synced from the cloud to my machine then whole logins were clear.

So how can I overwrite my profile in the cloud so I can totally recovery my old logins?

Kindly help to give my some advice.

Thanks!

Hi there!

I recently had the misfortune of Windows crashing on me and my PC needing a repair shop to reboot it. In the process, I've been needing to download all my programs again, but thankfully I made a firefox account and was hopeful all my years of login info would be easy to boop back onto my PC.

However, when I attempt to access my logins, it bars me access and I can't sync it with my phone, an Android who has the firefox app. It keeps asking for a Primary Password, something I had before my PC was reset, but I only just put that back in and it won't allow me to input it or change it. I can't even transfer my information over from Chrome. It's really frustrating since while I know a variety of my logins, some of them I used firefox secure generated passwords on and I have to squint at my phone to tap them in.

Any help would be immensely appreciated, and I'm hoping if I reboot after my downloads are done that this might fix my issues. But if it doesn't, I wanted to type this up to be safe!

Before the new update of Firefox the drop-down menu would color itself a red color, if one of the options were already chosen. For example, if a webside had selectable options of answers in a drop down menu, and answer A already was selected, it's fillcolor/highlight would be red - ensuring the same options wouldn't be chosen multiple times.

How do I get this "feature" back?

I have a password stored for an account in FF, and I typed it wrong and accidentally clicked Update on the prompt to update the password. Is there a way to view the old password? I assume I'm stuck but figured it was worth a shot.

How does firefox know my old email? Upon entering an old email to sign in, firefox prompts for me to enter the "primary" email for the account. How do I delete this old email? My account clearly shows no other "secondary" email provided. Will I have to delete my account?

By default, search results from the "new tab" page don't open a new tab, because that page is meant to be opened prior to initiating a search. However, I prefer to have the new tab page pinned so that non pinned tabs can all be closed and have something to fall back to other than my pinned tabs.

Therefor, it would be nice to disable search results opening a new tab from this "new tab" page due to how I use it (which is a preference that is required for having pinned tabs since the home page does not open unless all tabs are closed).
