This is *not* about the addons-meggadon from May. Like everyone else, I experienced that, I "enabled studies" at the time, and everything was fixed.
When starting Firefox yesterday (September 18 I believe), it opened with all my bookmarks gone, all my browsing history vanished, and my most important addons disabled (adblock plus, dark reader, foxy proxy). Everything was working fine before. I did not do any manual updates, and I don't think FF did an automatic update recently (but I might not have noticed). I currently have FF 69.0.1 (64-bit)
By "browsing history" I mean when I start typing into the addressbar, it used to suggest my most commonly visited sites, now it does not.
I managed to reload the bookmarks from a backup using the normal bookmarks restore feature. The browsing history is not a big deal (but does seem to indicate that some serious reset took place).
The addons are key to me, I really want to fix this. They are still listed in the add-ons manager, but are marked as "disabled". There is no enable button.
At first I thought it was a reprise of the old problem from May 2019.
So I double-checked: studies are enabled, and I can see completed studies that seem to indicate the fix was done.
Based on an old post here from rcr1959 I tried going to about:config and setting extensions.signer.hotfixed to false. This didn't resolve the problem, so I put it back to true (i.e., how I found it).
There was some suggestions that a master password might cause problems, or profiles. I don't use a master password, and have never set up a profile. Under about:profiles, I see "Profile: default" and no others. There is an option to "Restart with Add-ons disabled" and another to "Restart normally". I tried the second one; it restarted fine but the add-ons are still disabled.

Hello. I've been struggling to figure out how to get the address bar and tabs to hide when in fullscreen mode on my Mac. At first, I thought this was just the default setting, but after browsing other Community posts and discussions on Reddit and such, I began to suspect those are supposed to hide by default, but are not in my case.
Please see the photo attached for what I mean—the tabs and address bar never go away, if they are supposed to, regardless of whether I have a new tab or a webpage open.
I tried Firefox with all my add-ons turned off, because some posts suggested they can prevent auto-hiding. I have looked for CSS solutions and extensions which could help, but I am utterly frustrated. Please help!
Thanks in advance.
Why can't I leave a review on the add-on that I have installed even after having logged in?

I don't like MSExplorer or Bing. I've set Firefox Quantum 66.0.2 (64bit) as my default browser with search results from Google.
When I type a search in the 'Type here to search' window, MS Explorer opens with a Bing search result.
How do I get the thing to stop opening Explorer and simply open FF?
And again, Firefox is absolutely set as my default (menu/options/'smiley' Firefox is currently your default browser)

Firefox menus are shown in Spanish, while I explicitly downloaded English version and have English set as the only interface language. I happen to be on a Spanish version of Windows, but this should be irrelevant for Firefox. Note that the options are shown in English.
I want the menus to be shown in English.
In the attached image, note the mix of languages: Options in English, menus and tooltip in Spanish (actually some tooltips are in English, as in the second image). Note that Spanish is not listed as an interface language. (As a bonus, no matter how many times I press Remove on Canadian and UK English languages, they re-appear. Any way to get rid of them?)
This problem happened recently; for a decade the menus were in proper English on the same Spanish version of Windows. I twice removed Firefox from the system (without deleting my data) and re-installed it from US English version, once from MSI, then from EXE, to no avail.

With the latest version of Firefox (69.0) I am unable to choose 'Always Enable' for Adobe Flash Player. This is not helpful especially on my own website - www.cheadlehulmeweather.co.uk which I run.
The Adobe content is world city times and an image of the moon's phase. I visit my weather site each day and have to enable Flash every time. Why can't you allow the user to make the decision themselves how long they wish to enable Flash for? How about a list of sites it can be enabled permanently for? That way the user can make their own choice.

I've just found that if I do Ctrl + mouse wheel, the page now zooms! I've used Firefox for about 15 years and never had this happen before. The only thing that's different today is that I have just uninstalled Flash?
How do I disable this? I have always used Ctrl+mouse wheel to control the volume. For me, it is essential to be able to quickly adjust the volume with the mouse wheel, and very frustrating not being able to!

This exact same userchrome.css still works fine on my pc,both computers are running the same,latest version of Firefox [69]. It also worked fine in my old laptop...like,two days ago before I sold it. I think everything else in the userchrome.css seems to still work on this laptop...spacing,tab height,search box,address bar clear instead of cloudy etc etc...but not the tabs on bottom part.
First pic [capture 1] is the pc with tabs on bottom,how I want them..second pic is this laptop...tabs on top. Any ideas to restore the tabs to the bottom would be greatly appreciated,thanks.

There were a couple of posts asking the same thing I am, but no answers to either of the. You used to have that Theme and Font Size Changer but I hear that is not very useful anymore. Is there any other way to increase the text on tool bars and menus? It's just way too small. Text on web pages is fine but I can't hardly read the tool bars and menus unless I really squint. Why would you want to make it so terribly small with no way to adjust it?

For years I've used a userchrome script to show multiple rows of bookmarks, but it no longer works in Firefox 66!
Does anyone know what's gone wrong, or a way this can be fixed?
I cannot function without multi-row bookmarks! I have over 25,000 bookmarks, all neatly organized into folders across five rows of bookmarks. there's no way I could cram all those categories into one single, solitary row.
It's a shame that Firefox has never seriously supported the bookmark bar. It's always been buggy, ugly, cumbersome to use, and never felt very "solid". The menu also has a tendency to disappear, making it hard to organize and drag bookmarks and folders around.

I'm using Mac OS X, the most recent version. When I use the search bar (or the tool bar search function), Firefox uses Google Scholar instead of Google. I've gone to the preferences page, and the only default search engine available is Google Scholar. The button to restore default search engines is greyed out. I can't fine a Google search extension anywhere, and you can't add Google as a search engine from the toolbar. Please help!
