FireFox ... are you kidding me .... "Missing Profile" .... this is so stupid, all I did was update my preferences now I can not open the application ... what !!!!!!!!!!!! ... and now I have to navigate to some stupid file folder .... NO ... You navigate to some stupid file folder and you overwrite, that's what you[FireFox] does. Give me break .... so what if I changed some stupid name ... of which I have not idea what name I changed ... if your software is so smart to know something is missing then you default to a default setting, you just don't send me into a stupid message box then close the application .... so stupid ...
Just a suggestion, when someone is installing your Browser ... you install everthing, evidently your software ignored the init file since it was already there .... so stupid ... I'm not solving this stupid issues, this is design failure.
I was already to leave Safari .... Hahahahaha .... good luck FireFox.
Missing profile give me a break !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know most people are trying to stop location services permissions, but I like letting sites like Yelp, etc, know where I am so they can use "current location." I have tried to use the privacy settings to add websites that I allow location permission, but that part of the site doesn't work for me. I can't add any websites in the box. I'm very smart, but I can't figure this out. I need a super intensely simplified step-by-step lesson to figure it out. I've been trying for 2 weeks on my own and am ready to dump firefox for chrome, where I can allow location permissions very easily. Please help me. Thanks.

There are a million support articles on this and other sites that show all the steps to importing your passwords from Chrome to Firefox, and they usually include a screenshot that is identical to the one I've included, except for they also have a box you can check to import passwords. I successfully imported my cookies, browsing history, and bookmarks, but there was no passwords box for me to check and I haven't been able to import my passwords. Why is it that option not showing up for me?
How to never check for updates (not even have a message), in version 68+ ?

This been asked already in "How to never check for updates in version 63.0b4? | Firefox Support Forum | Mozilla Support" https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1232918
but the ticket was closed without having been properly answered -- and I feel that the people who replied at the end of the thread were taking the piss (why is it saying "Flash Plugin", that's not what the ticket was about?!). (+ NOTE: I understand 100% Artmaker's frustration and anger back there.)
I am doing automated testing using Firefox (and Selenium) and those automated updates are huge problem for me. I have disabled the automated update but the prompt is still being an annoyance: it causes my application-under-test to crash.
I shall stress that being unable to disable this message is not acceptable! Have I made myself clear? And if that's the case, I would very much like to escalate this to Firefox developers, because I've been struggling with this problem for way too long.
Thank you,
P.

Firefox insists updates have been installed in the background. Stuck in a constant restart loop.

Hello. I've just installed Firefox 68.0.1 on my work laptop running Windows 10. We don't have full admin rights on these devices, but are able to run programs "as" the Administrator. By doing this Firefox installs without issue, as have all other programs I've needed to add. However, upon launching Firefox for the first time I immediately get the message "Sorry. We just need to do one small thing to keep going. We have just installed an update in the background. Click Restart Firefox to finish applying it. We will restore all your pages, windows and tabs afterwards, so you can be on your way quickly." When I click Restart, Firefox reload and immediately shows the same message. It doesn't matter how many times I restart the browser the message keeps coming up. I CAN successfully start Firefox if I use safe mode, but as soon as I try again without safe mode, the issue described above immediately happens. I've tried disabling the update service, but nothing seems to make a difference. I'd really appreciate some help/advice on why Firefox thinks an update has occurred. What is Firefox looking at to determine an update has been applied? Many Thanks....

Hey,
So Firefox updated to 68, it created a new profile, that's fine, my old profiles were fine, but as soon as I sign in to my Firefox account and sync, they're not. I had to change a whole bunch of settings back to how I had them. I'm also trying to install the Dashlane Extension, but everytime I do, it keeps opening the new profile Firefox made, and I can't get in on the old ones. Do i now have to recreate all my old profiles?

After the freeze, I could not end the multiple processes in Task Manager so rebooted and uninstalled it. After attempting to reinstall Firefox will not open, yet two instances of Firefox are shown in Task Manager which cannot be stopped (end task) without a reboot. I have deleted all Mozilla folders, profile, and all registry entries. I have tried reinstalling it in Safe Mode with no luck. I have run several malware and virus scans from various sites which show no problems. I can install other software, just not Firefox. I am posting from a different computer so any configuration information shown from this version of Firefox is not valid in my case. I have tried installing this at least 8 times with the same results. I would appreciate any suggestions other than switch to a different browser, as I have faithfully used Firefox since about version 3 and love(d) it. Thanks in advance for any help: I'm stumped!
Will importing a firefox backup file from Windows 7 restore my bookmarks properly in Firefox installed on Linux system?

I am going to try changing my Windows 7 Home Premium computers to a Linux OS. I'm trying to find out if I take a Firefox backup file from the Win7 system and import it into Firefox installed on the Linux OS, will it work and restore all my bookmarks correctly? Will an html backup file work as well?
My plan is to save my desktop files and folders in Windows 7 to an external drive, then copy them over into the Linux OS. For Firefox all I want is my bookmarks from Firefox in Windows to import into Firefox installed on the Linux OS.
Linux OS I am thinking of trying are: Linux Mint-Cinnamon / Zorin core or ultimate / Manajro XFCE / Ubuntu

I have my profile for Firefox on a separate drive, so that I can share the profile between Win7 and Win10, and I don't lose my data when either Windows OS's screw up. How do I (in version 68) edit profiles.ini and/or installs.ini to get my 'old' profile back?
AND: does Sync work, when there is always only ONE instance of Firefox working? NB: I have no smartphone, but run Win7, Win10 and Linux Mint 19.1 on ONE desktop PC.

Previously no issue with Mozilla. Not sure whether due to Synology DSM updates or Mozilla updates. Using Mozilla Version 68.0 (64bit) as of raising this.
Last update to v 68.0 changed the yellow color I used for the menu bar, which I want to resume using.
What must I do to get the same color back?
