I had to reinstall win 7 on a new HD. Before I removed the old HD I copied my entire firefox profile. I then re-named it to my 'new' firefox profile - in hopes that everything would transfer. My bookmarks are there, but my passwords are not. Although the files key4.db and logins.json are both present in the new profile - they do not contain my old passwords. file size is also the same - very odd. I have access to all data on my old HD - how do I recover/transfer all my old passwords - there are >150 of them - I'm not going to type them all in
thanks so much

http://validator.w3.org/ renders as a blank page. Same for https://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/.
Switching to basic page style, I can get to the unstyled content of the page, but why aren't the styles loading?
I allow JavaScript for these pages & disable Adblock Plus, and can't think of any other add-ons that might interfere.

If I try to drag and drop a new bookmark onto the bookmark icon (the star with the line under it), it USED to open up Bookmarks and I could place the new bookmark where ever. That no longer works.
I CAN drag/drop into a folder on the menu bar but not into bookmarks directly.

I enjoy playing games on 247games.com. Specifically the backgammon.
For the past year, I have had to NOT update Firefox, as the games won't work with the latest. I've just decided to update again, now have version 72.0.2 and still the backgammon won't work.
Last year when I did this, one of the volunteers worked with me for 3 days trying all sorts of things, with no success, so he finally advised me to undo the update. Now I wish I had left it alone, but an hour ago I updated. Now I have to figure out how to undo the update. Again. So disappointed.
I am on an HP envy laptop, with touch screen. Neither the touch screen nor the cursor will work for backgammon. I was hoping you folks had fixed this problem by now.

Note: The Automatically Add button led me to a missing page and I have to rewrite this text and re-add "[SOLVED]." I did get signed in.
I installed Linux Mint 19.1, 64-bit, MATE Desktop, which included Firefox, Thunderbird and LibreOffice apps. I do much writing on forums, in email and word processor documents. My system language was set for US English, but the spell checker corrects words that end in "-or" here and that elsewhere end in "-our" if I spell them ending in "-or."
My last check of the issue revealed that only in Firefox did the spell checker prefer British spellings, for TBird and LibreOffice checkers preferred US English.
(Let's see now, I have found three ways to misspell "English" within five minutes: "Englishy," "Engluish," and "eNGLISH!" Agggh!!) :(
I finally got "a round to-it" for the oval and square to-its don't fit, and started this post. Lo and behold, I have no issue under Firefox 70.1 with incorrect locale! The spell checker does accept US spellings and calls me out on the others. I didn't mind the other spellings, because the Internet is a world-wide network, and even adopted some of them like "recognise." Now they get flagged.
This issue is [SOLVED] withoiut me doing anything but update my computer and Firefox to 70.1. Thank you. //Edited to correct some missed spelling errors//

Firefox asked me to update every time I opened it. Downloading and installing firefox, always said udating didn't work, download firefox upate now. Tried dozens of times. Then said needed to go to new firefox, did that, had to create account, did that, now have lost all the bookmarks. Tried selfhelp to restore bookmarks, incomplete instructions or not working. I would really, really like all my bookmarks back. Thanks for your help, Jane.
How can I stop Firefox deleting my cookies on closing it down.
With reference to the enclosed attachment, the 'delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed' check mark is 'greyed' out and I cannot change it.

Hello
Is there some documentation to explain what the font size options mean?
I apologize but I havent studied fonts, I just use the one I feel most comfortable with.
Generally, for me, the font size is too small. And the Adv. page is confusing.
How does the minimum font size relate to the proportional or monospace sizes?
The proportional has serif, sans-serif. The the next 2 opts are serif and sans-serif. Are they related? Because I can set serif to sans-serif and sans-serif to serif.
Att. my settings

I have upgraded to 70.0 and now there is a 6 second delay on loading first site. I have firefox starting in private mode and without a home page. this loads at its usual speed. However, when I click on a bookmark the system hangs for 6 seconds before the site is presented. Subsequent sites load rapidly as usual. I have tested with other browsers and sites and the problem is specific to Firefox and not specific to the site being load. Once loaded, if I open an additional Firefox window this loads sites rapidly. I have been using Firefox for many years and the problem has only occurred since I upgraded to 70.0.
Can anyone help please.

1) Where do I find the "Firefox smart search field" that starts proposing pages when I have keyed in just the couple of first letters of the page I am looking for ?
2) I just wish to "lock" my Firefox page size to 120% (not permanently forever, of course) because at present I have to change it in the beginning of every web-session by opening the Firefox menu at right upper hand corner and choosing 120% in the "page size" option.

Hello.
If I am on Chrome, I am able to open a new window by left clicking the 'hamburger' menu button in the top right, holding the left click button down and releasing it on top of 'Open New Window'. I don't have to release the click button and click again. This greatly improves productivity.
Any option to do the same on Firefox?
Note - if I enable the menu bar at the top (File, Edit...), then Firefox behaves in the same way as Chrome. This would solve my issue, however, I like the simplicity and space conservation of the hamburger menu.
In short, I'd like the behaviour of the full menu (with respect to single clicking) to be the same in the 'hamburger' menu.

I'm trying to do a clean install of Firefox to return to 100% default settings. I don't want any of my old data, bookmarks, cookies, or browsing history, but every time I uninstall and reinstall Firefox, all of my previous bookmarks along with my browsing history are imported into Firefox.
How do I do an actual clean install, that allows me to start over without importing any previous data?
- edit
I've also deleted my Firefox account and opened a new one multiple times, which I would assume would delete my old data. But even after deleting my account my old data is still imported to Firefox after uninstalling and re-installing it.

I've lost all bookmarks, logins and saved passwords, add ons and basically everything. I have made sure that all my data is synced and even tested it a couple of times after changing devices and every time it worked perfectly and restored my data. Now, I've just changed devices after a while with no internet, I go to sign in and I forgot my pass so I reset it and signed in successfully but nothing at all is restored not a single thing. I'm devastated, I hope there a solution to this.

Hi there!
I have been having trouble with Firefox continuing to autoplay videos even with preferences set to "Block Audio and Video."
If I go to twitter.com or elsewhere Firefox will show that auto play is disabled, but videos will autoplay with no audio. I would just like to get this feature working as autoplaying videos are incredibly annoying!
