I exported my passwords from Chrome and used FFPass to import into Firefox.
The passwords are visible by inspecting:
Machine 1: Settings->Preferences->Privacy and Security->Saved Logins Machine 2: Settings->Logins and Passwords
But when I set-up my third machine and sync, everything gets installed correctly (bookmarks, tabs, preferences, etc) except logins. I don't see any logins; however, if I manually browse to a website, enter my login, Firefox will ask if I want to save. If I click yes, then that login is saved, but none of my imported logins are.
Can someone help? I have over 150+ logins... manually adding them one-by-one is not an option.

I have moved my old firefox profile to a new computer (from pc to mac) and just migrated the profile.
I've been using the master password option for my profile on pc for years, but on the profile move to mac, when I launch firefox, everything seems to be working fine, except for passwords. I noticed by default master password was not enabled. I attempted to turn that on (it asked to create a new password and said an existing one was not set), but when I attempted to create it, it came up with an error saying master password can not be reset.
it shows no saved logins or passwords currently on the new mac profile
I've moved the profile from PC to PC in the past and didn't have this issue. I'm currently lost as to how to fix this.

The search bar that used to be in the center of the page has suddenly moved to the top of the page in all new tabs: https://i.imgur.com/2f5VZjv.png
This started around noon today, and was not preceded by any updates or changes to Firefox or any of my addons, so far that I'm aware of.
How do I return the search bar to the center of the page?

I have removed a username on a certain website using Ctrl +i #Security. On Saved Logins on that tab "Autofill logins and passwords" is NOT selected yet, when I load the login page of that website, Firefox enters the old, discarded user name.

Hi and thanks in advance for any help. I've tried to designate Firefox as my privacy centered browser and use it on Facebook and so on. However, private mode has been very inconsistent. Occasionally when clicking open new private window Firefox will open in Private mode, but usually not. There is no indication it is private (no mask). When I go to Help, Restart with all addons disabled I still cannot get to a private window. If I do the refresh then all of the settings are reverted, but doesn't help.
Any foolproof steps for always browsing in private mode? Thank you.

I used to get my PDF bank statements with no problem. Recently I go into the bank's site, ask for the statement, and instead of seeing the actual statement I see a screen like the one in the attached image. I called the bank and they said it was an issue with the new version of Firefox, and I was able to access the statements using the Edge browser. How can I fix this in Firefox? I use Win 10 64 bit.

Hi,
For some time now, whenever I start a new window in Firefox it automatically loads all my bookmarks as new tabs! So instead of getting a new and empty window I get a window with ~25 tabs.
This also happens when I start FireFox in safe mode. When I click “New private window” I get an empty new window.

I have a Levono x223 with a short monitor running Window 7. In some websites, such a ebay, only the center portion of a pop up window fraem will show, such as clicking on the tracking number, resulting in my not being able to close the window. So far the only work around is to right click on the window and chose > This frame>Show only this frame> then click on the Go back one page arrow. I would like to find a way to either close the window with a key stroke, or some other simple way to close the window.

On some sites, the video controls flash intermittently while playing. On one in particular - theguardian.com/uk - embedded video content will not play. The sound will, but the picture won't. I've done seemingly everything - disable hardware acceleration, messed about with tracking, blocking, permissions, extensions, plugins, reset that site, refreshed Firefox. Nothing works. I've been using Firefox happily for over a decade, but this is severely testing my faith and allegiance. I'm using a 2019 Mac, but Apple say it's not their problem. The protracted steps I had to take to even get to this page on this forum have seriously tested my patience. Please, Firefox - how can I fix this?
