Import error - Chrome data - Chrome not found/recognised in Import wizard
I am using Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS. Chrome Version 80.0.3987.149 (Official Build) (64-bit) Firefox 74.0 (64-bit) I follow the process described https://support.mozilla.org/en-… (funda kabanzi)
I am using Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS. Chrome Version 80.0.3987.149 (Official Build) (64-bit) Firefox 74.0 (64-bit)
I follow the process described https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/import-data-another-browser.
The problem is that the system does not recognise that Chrome is installed on the computer ( see attached photo). So the process does not complete.
I saw around on the internet for solution but nothing proposed.
Any idea what can it be? I wonder, how/where Firefox is looking to identify other browsers.

The update today to 74 lost all my customized, userchrome.css stuff and the row of bookmarks that used to be at the top now go down the left size, or right side if I want, but I want it at the top. Userchrome does not seem to recognized either as I put what I had kept, back in the a chrome folder in the profile folder.

Sharing profile on dualboot PC: parent.lock file prevents Linux from accessing profile

Hello!
I started to follow this guide (https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Mozilla_plattform%C3%BCbergreifend_nutzen/) to use the same Firefox profile in Windows 10 and Linux Mint on my dualboot PC. Windows & LM are on a partitioned SSD and the Profile is now copied to my HDD: 'D:/sharedData/Firefox/xxxxxxxx.default'. I changed the profiles.ini files for both Win and LM.
[Edited:] This works fine on Win but on LM i get the error: 'Firefox is already running' If I close FF on Win the parent.lock file is not deleted. If I delete the parent.lock file on the HDD after closing FF on Win and reboot into LM, i can write on the HDD and open FF with the profile from the HDD. LM is not able to mount the whole Hard drive in read-only mode due to the parent.lock file if it still exists.
Is the parent.lock file supposed to be deleted automatically after closing FF? If so, what could be the reason that this is not the case here?
I would appreciate any idea what could cause this problem!

I have a Roku stick on my TV. One of the available apps is Firefox. I downloaded it, opened it, got a screen with a "setup" button anhd a couple other buttons, and that was the end of the line -- all buttons dead, no browser. Does Firefox work with Roku or not, and if it does, how do I do it? Thanks.

A few weeks ago, when FF updated to 72, there was a FF icon that doubled the size of the menu box. I found a few suggestions by Googling, and managed to delete the icon, but can't restore the box to its original size, and the larger box affects my browsing. How do I resize the box?

I'm new to Video Downloader but I seem to be having a problem with the downloads. On one occasion only I got a list up showing what I had downloaded which was great. I have no idea where that list might now be hiding or how to find it. I have selected Downloads as the place where they should all go. Today I downloaded a couple of things and when I came to play them (from Downloads) I got the titles which then disappeared immediately and then nothing else. I use Firefox browser to download. Can someone help?
After updating Ff and uninstalling old version, I no longer have bookmarks, passwords, etc. - I tried changing profiles, windows restore with no luck.

I have an older version (56.0) that I'm very happy with, but some of my saved sites are making me use a newer version (I have Chrome) to access them. I truly hate the "new & improved" FF but am feeling forced to move in that direction. Can I keep my 56.0 separate from a new, clean install and maintain the older version as my default, yet have a separate icon for the new version?

When downloading the option for "Always ask you where to save files" option is already selected; however, when I got to save the download I can only navigate to preselected folders. That is not useful as I need to download to one of many options. This is a very frustrating error that diminishes firefox.
Following 75.0 update on Firefox Developer Edition, I am unable to access old accounts, create a master password, or customize my broswer. Any ideas?

So I have been Firefox Developer Edition on three different devices for the past year and just a few days ago on one of my devices, Firefox would not keep my theme settings, extensions, or accept my master password, so I closed Firefox. But that didn't help and since i needed to reboot my system anyway, I did a reboot and when I logged back on and tried to open Firefox it gave me an XUL Runner error saying that 75.0 is not compatible with min version >=74.0. So I uninstalled FDE and then re-downloaded it, reinstalled 75.0 since I do believe that the update to 75.0 had hung up on this particular device a week before. So then a day later my other two devices started having issues, so I tried to sign into another Firefox account, that didn't work so I did a reinstall and it seemed fine for a minute until I realized all my passwords/logins/history were gone, so I tried to sync again and then it gave me the message to set my master password, so I tried and kept getting the 'Cannot change master password' error. I have reinstalled twice and create a new Firefox account, tried to sign into an older one. I know someone will say just use the regular Firefox, but I use the FDE because my other Firefox browser is set with a work account that I keep to backup user data at work and I cannot use for my personal device. Any ideas?

Dear Millennials ... we are not all the same NOR do we need YOU to control how our computers work ...

Now I have to go thru hours or set up time to get back to where I was before AND it is easier to just stop using your product

I would like to keep the rounded tabs, the size and amount of my Top Sites 3 rows instead of 2 and in my book marks the folders were yellow instead of everything being black and white. Not sure if it is possible to get all of this back but I know I need to update as I am sure I am the only one in the universe still on 56.0.2

For the second time recently, Firefox has done an unauthorized upgrade despite my settings being to advise rather than do so automatically. The first I know about it is when everything locks up and a screen message tells me that Firefox is doing an upgrade and will restart shortly. Even more annoying is that the upgrade totally wipes all my settings, bookmarks, etc. and I have to waste a lot of time trying to reset everything - whilst losing a lot of bookmarked items of course. Any ideas please?
