I use Firefox on Ubuntu Linux, and it works fine.

For unrelated reasons I have created a new Linux Mint 22 boot partition, and I would like to use the same Firefox profile on both Linux OS-s, without having to move or copy the existing profile I use on Ubuntu. (The profile is placed on a third independent data partition!) I cannot find any information on how to do it. All information I find involves moving the profile, but then Firefox on Ubuntu would not be able to continue to use it.

I look forward to hear from you. Thank you. :-)

I'm using this shortcut all the time and I recently found out it doesn't work as expected. From the Firefox documentation the ctrl+shift+t should re-open the latest closed tab, but this is not the case for me, it always re-open the latest closed window. Which behave exactly as ctrl+shift+n.

From my short research it's not possible to customize Firefox shortcuts without using an extensions, therefore I also don't know how to verify if the shortcuts have changed just form my browser/configuration.

Firefox (Mac) unresponsive, and doesn't load any pages including internal ones such as settings, or about:support, even after complete app reinstall.

I have reinstalled Firefox on my Mac many times, completely removed all files using app cleaner, and reset Firefox by holding shift and option on start. Despite this, the app is very slow to launch, and when it does no pages load or render. Opening a new tab freezes the entire app for 15-30 seconds, and when the tab opens it is completely blank. Attempting to browse to a URL does nothing, and the address bar just returns to being empty. Attempting to open settings does nothing, although parts of the app that open separate windows such as the about version info and bookmarks work fine. The only thing I haven't done at this point is completely reinstalling macOS, so maybe there is something wrong with my system config. I first noticed this issue when using the early macOS Sequoia betas, and assumed the app wasn't updated to support it yet. However after updating macOS and completely removing and reinstalling all traces of Firefox, it still doesn't work. I am currently using macOS 15.1 beta, however the issue also persisted on 15.0.

Can't change the suggestions in non-password/address bar fields

There's one specific field I fill in very often and for some reason Firefox is really keen on suggesting me two searches that I looked up more than a couple months ago, on a totally different site. I can't even remove these suggestions or add new ones. When I used Vivaldi, it'd learn what I insert (even if it'd end up suggesting tens and tens of options), while Firefox doesn't learn at all.

For sake of an example, let's say that the word I use every day in this field is XYZ. Not even once was it suggested to me, I've only ever gotten the two in the screenshot below instead. And I can't remove them using the Delete key as some other article suggested.

Speaking of which, I just noticed the same thing happen to the subject line in this form 🙃

No changes been made to my Mozilla account unless Mozilla banned me for constructive criticism yesterday. Earlier today Oct 4, 24 booted up laptop no issues. 3 hours later from cold start issue.

My version of FF 131.0 updated yesterday indicates I'm not signed in. Repeated sign-in attempts successful only to be disconnected seconds later. No issues logging into Mozilla Monitor to see progress and navigate around without disconnection. On Android 11 cell phone no issues, on Asus tablet Android 7.0 no issues. What am I doing wrong or missing? See attached screen shots and browser data.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Whenever I sign in to sync my browser it keeps asking me to sign in again to reconnect to sync.

I've tried reinstalling the browser, deleting the Mozilla directory in %APPDATA% and reinstalling, removing account and signing in again.

No matter what I do I keep getting asked to sign in again to reconnect even though the initial sign in was successful.

I recently reloaded my M1 MacBook Air with macOS Sequoia. Ever since doing so, Firefox opens the right-click menu every time I press Control+Return (like when attempting to autocomplete a URL ending in .com, a feature I use quite frequently). It is only in Firefox that this happens, no other browser or program is doing this. I have uninstalled Firefox using AppCleaner, downloaded a new copy of Firefox 131.0 and reinstalled without any change in this behavior. Any ideas on what I can do to stop this so Control+Return only autocompletes a URL again?

Mistyping cause by non-character notation (e.g., dot, comma, semi-colon, colon, quotation mark etc.)

The problem I encounter has happened since I begin to use Firefox on Windows 11. The same problem happened to my Macbook as well, but a workaround is available. While with Windows 11, I can't find the solution anywhere on the web. Whenever I type on the browser, if I write a non-character notation right behind the word (like "this,"), the word would usually auto delete itself or sometimes, the word clone itself out (e.g, wordword, thisthi, etc.) or it deletes a small section of words right behind that non-char. I don't have insert turning on. I am quite uncertain whether you can reproduce this error on your laptop (for me, I have been through 2 windows 11 laptop and this error still persist). This error seems to only occurs for Vietnamese (Telex and VNI) default keyboard from Microsoft, Russian and English work fine. I suspect that it is caused by Microsoft Vietnamese, but I have unchecked all kind of spelling checking on settings. So should I use a third-party Vietnamese language typing for this situation or does it caused by something else?
