HI All Recently purchased a laptop and want to have FF sync with my desk top. I am signed in to both devices with the same account and have checked all settings on both and they are identical. Why are they not syncing?

I often use the process manager to find open tabs, since only the front one in each open window shows up in the Window drop-down menu. (And I sure wish those windows would read as the WEBSITE and not the specific page name, as it often gives no help in knowing what website it is)

However, sometimes, like just now, it won't show one or more open tabs! Why? Today I was looking for my Google Voice Messages page, and did not see it anywhere in the list. I thought, maybe I had closed it, but when I manually scrolled through all my open windows, I found it on one of them! Can we not count on the process manager to show us all open tabs?

Hi, I have an old MacBook I installed Firefox on because I prefer it for the privacy and UI But I ran into issues loading some webpages after a while using it. not the first day but returning to it today. I can google things but as soon as I click on any results it just loads forever and never finishes. for context I have a MacBook Pro 2012 I believe with Mac Catalina 10.15.7 running on it and I can't get any further updates. I was looking and it said use rosetta, but nothing comes up when I try to open rosetta for Firefox like its saying it would.

In my Settings, the browser's fallback language is set to Portuguese, without giving me any other language choice, nor leaving it blank. I assume this is the reason I keep seeing menus, notifications, etc., randomly popping up in Portuguese.

I have not been able to easily access my bookmarks easily like before. I have multiple bookmarks by category, but there does not seem to be a way to access the different categories currently. I have Windows 11. I have the most current firefox browser I think. I did find from searching support that I could type Ctrl Shift O and scroll down which gives a long list to try to access them, but that is very cumbersome and slow. Do I have to do that every time I want to go to specific bookmarks? The bookmarks that show on the overflow or near the top of the screen are not useful, but the ones I use every day cannot be accessed easily, but are way down a long list. Why is the current version hiding all the bookmark categories?

Every time there is an update, Firefox creates a new profile and hides all passwords etc. It is therefore impossible to work with it now. With 157 I now have a worthless Firefox, because all links, passwords, settings etc have been cleared and a new profile has been created.

When the new update arrived yesterday, I started getting multiple popups from McAfee & Mozilla. Three stay on the screen at once, and when I X one, another appears instantly. This appears to be a scam trojan, but 3 different excellent anti-virus programs have not found anything. This never happened until the latest update. What do you know about this? I don't want to uninstall & start over, but what other suggestion do you have? p.s Usually when I right click on one of them, it takes me to a McAfee ad. I just clicked on one that gave me the option to turn off notifications. That seemed to stop it, at least for now. Am I the only one with this problem? [redacted email from community support forum]

Previous to the recent update I was able to click on a hyperlink, it would load then automatically download the pdf and then automatically open in Adobe. Now it just opens in Firefox. I have changed the settings to open downloaded pdfs to Adobe but it still opens in Firefox and does not download. I have tried changing the PDF setting to save automatically and it still does not download or save it just opens in a new tab in Firefox.

Lately, I cannot get to staples.com. I think it started after the last update, but I'm not sure. I never had a problem before, and Staples is a well-known national company for office products. I've restarted Firefox in troubleshoot mode, but the result is the same. Chrome and Edge have no problem accessing the site, so it's a puzzle why Firefox cannot. If anyone has any ideas about how to proceed, I'll appreciate it.
