I've tried installing firefox on Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) but am having issues starting firefox. Steps I took to get the error (following [installation guide for local user] Local Firefox installation in user's account : 1. Download firefox tar file 2. Extract contents `tar xjf firefox-*.tar.bz2` 3. Add the new path to PATH 4. Run firefox I get the error "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible."

Steps I took to try to resolve this: 1. Move old ~/.mozilla to ~/.mozilla_backup 2. Ensure appropriate permissions for all directories in ~/.mozilla 3. Play around with profiles.ini in the ~/.mozilla/firefox directory. (created new .ini file with fake content and associated directories/files)

None of the above steps work. In fact, even commands like `firefox -P` give the same error. Any help will be appreciated please.

I am locked out of my desktop Firefox because it doesn't recognize my Primary Password that I use on my laptop and my iPhone. The laptop and iPhone Firefox opens but not my desktop which shows I am signed in but it also states I changed my password which would explain why my primary password doesn't work. What to do?

I use Firefox as my primary browser. I have always been able to sign in with Google Nest without any problem. I always entered my user name and then my password and I would be logged into my Nest account.

But now I click on my Google account (https://home.nest.com/login/) and then I click on Nest/Sign in/Sign in with Google. Then I just loop around between the two Google pages.

This started a few days ago. I can't figure it out so now I use Chrome or Safari. But I'd much rather use Firefox. Any ideas? Any help is very much appreciated.

Thanks, John

I have my password saved in bitwarden Hasn't been changed since 2018 not compromised, randomized & generated by bitwarden Mozilla is now trying to tell me it's incorrect when copy pasta into password line same password used to log into this account on this computer what gives?

Somehow, my sign-in on Coinbase is now asking for me to insert a USB device into my computer as a passkey, and that is there because of Mozilla Firefox. I tried a couple weeks ago to sign in, after my phone was broken, and in the process this new way of requiring me to have some USB device came about, now I cannot log into my Coinbase account, cannot buy or sell, do anything because Mozilla is requiring me to use a non-existent USB drive with a digital passkey. I cannot call and talk to Coinbase, and I have no idea how to reach Mozilla to cancel this either.

Support I am having problems accessing my accounts on certain web sites, I can access them with other browsers, just not Mozilla Firefox. The two main sites are: https://www.bigfishgames.com https://www.spectrum.net How do I solve this problem? Firefox has been my default Browser for two decades now, but if this problem continues it will not remain as the default. Michael

Hello, when I download PDFs and open them in the Firefox browser, only the text blocks or image blocks have a white background. The rest of the page then has a dark background. I have already checked things like dark mode etc. Do you have any suggestions for a solution?

So i am using ReseourceOverride AddOn to debug a js library on standard install of firefox. This works by using the site as normal but resource override has instruction to replace request for the library on server with one requesting it from localhost. This used to work without problems. However today i noticed that breakpoints aren't getting hit. I have downgraded to version 132.0.2 and breakpoints work once again. I think this has something to do with debug sources, since the load process adds 2 sources, webpack containing uncompiled code and where i set break points, and webpack-internal which i think is built js library before getting minified. Links to exceptions in console also dont work instead of linking to webpack seemlesly, the adress says webpack-internal and link open a new window and complains that the adress is nonsense (see attached images)

Thatnks for the help

I enter the primary password for saved password when starting FF as prompted. It takes password fine and works just fine on sites just as designed and has worked for years. Lately last couple weeks since last update to 132.0.1 I notice a change. I didn't notice before this update. When starting Firefox it asks for primary password which is normal, I enter it and all is fine. I can go to sites and all works fine, passwords and user id are entered when prompted. However, later in the day when I go to a site wanting password, I get the prompt to enter primary password again. That never use to happen, once I entered the primary password, it didn't prompt again unless Firefox was restarted. Has anyone else seen this? Maybe it started and I just didn't notice some time ago. I know it wasn't that long ago the primary password prompt didn't have the little eye so you could see what you typed. I liked that, because FF for whatever reason wasn't always realizing I had the shift key pressed. Now with the eyeball I can see that it doesn't have what I typed, but that is not the problem I am asking about. Below is what Mozilla says about primary password:

Important: After you have defined and set your Primary Password, you will be prompted to enter it once for each Firefox session, when Firefox needs access to your stored passwords. This also applies if you want to add, remove or show a password.

Is it possible to add a feature of a description/comment to the about:logins so that you can specify what the u/p is for?

ie, i have sites using ip addresses (that must not be given hostnames) that have a u/p but could do with a description to say what they are for. ie2, i have a website that is used to connect to different devices where the username is always a certain username, but with a different password per device. Firefox offers to change the password saved (but it would be changing it for all devices, not that particular one).

I am multi-layout language keyboard user. During editing text in javascript textbox (such as editing sheet name in Google sheets) in Firefox, when I pressed win-space to switch language:

1. expected behavior: I can continue editing my text with keyboard layout switched

What happened instead:

1. keyboard layout is switched 2. a space character is added the to the text. and got popped out of text editing mode

Is there anything I can do about this issue? Please help.

Thank you
