I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Long time Firefox/Mozilla user. Installed/upgraded/migrated on Win, Android, Linux (various distros) over the years.

This was posted under migration but might be relevant in this topic.

Built a new Win 10 system 11/21. Installed Firefox, logged in and Enabled Sync. Installed licensed Adobe photo editing software. No problems. Used for 2 weeks.

Spent 5 months in hospital.

Back home, used new PC for ~45 days; Win 10 went wiggy on me after an update - could not get to Settings menu ya da ya da. It went downhill from there. No identifiable hardware issues (tested memory and (.m2) boot drive, etc

Tried many fixes to Windows while trying to keep user data. Ended up reinstalling Win 10 (multiple times...). System working, but no bookmarks/passwords. Installed Firefox. Of course, it didn't work - understandibly.

Went to old PC, Firefox does not seem to give me the option to *see* my login password); looked up Firefox password (I hated to do it, but with ~500 userid/passwords, I started to let FF manage these a few years back). Found it. Went to new box and logged in. Password error. Digging deeper, it *appears* that the present password was set circa 2015 and the Firefox saved password was set circa 2021.

I've now been fussing with this a week. Searching, searching; trying pretty much everything I can think of. Nothing works.

Any path forward besides changing passwords on all of the involved (~20+) devices?

Now I need to try to recall where I put the recovery key ... (yes, I have since embarked on an extensive backup/restore point campaign which includes backing up backup system software).

Yahoo mail Cannot select a message using the checkbox. Cannot reply, delete, etc. Trash icons are missing All works in Google Chrome. Clearing cache/cookies, restarting computer, nothing works.

Suddenly today a message appeared at the top of my settings page saying: "your browser is being managed by your organization". I am on a personal computer in my home, the only computer I have. I don't have an organization. Have I been hacked or why is this suddenly on my settings? I am not very tech literate, an older person so can't do very complex things. I don't want anyone but me managing my settings. I am the only one using my computer. I am on Windows 7 Home premium.

I am running Unix Ubuntu 22.04 with Firefox 104.0.01 (64 bit). My Canon LBP 6230DW works fine in my word processor and in Chrome, but it does not show up in the Printer destination field when I am in Firefox. The only print option is to "Save as PDF." How do I get the Canon to be a print destination in Firefox?

This is my second request because I can't find my original question. jonzn4SUSE has asked me to upload print screens, which are attached. Carl ([email removed from public])

I find it really annoying that Mozilla insist on using Google as the default search engine and without any option to change it. Of course the entire reason behind google is that they wish to spy on everyone and keep as much information as possible on each and every one of us. So one wonders where the idea that Mozilla protects your privacy comes from, as no matter what Mozilla do, Google is still looking in and indeed listening in too. I used to love Mozilla Firefox but of late it has almost got into the same bed as Google. We need and want a change - Give us the option at least and be transparent. Masking is for robbers! I'm personally sick of google and have been for several years - they couldn't beat DuckDuckGo so now they have Mozilla on their side with most things DEFAULT and without the possibility of changing that (by the looks of it). Google is a spy and the sooner people realise that, the better, so no good looking for an answer as to how to remove it - Mozilla will not help as it seems to be stuck with it and no amount of trying this or that will solve the problem fully. It is up to Mozilla to get out of the grasp of Google and allow customers (the public) to have a choice - so let's have it Mozilla. By the way, I don't share anything (not even information as to how my browser works - I wouldn't be so stupid as to trust Google even for that, but can guarantee anyone they already have that information and more.

(Mon. 9-5-22 @ 8:13pm CST) How do I Recover "Lost" or "Missing" Log-In's & Passwords that for years have been In the Password Manager inside Mozilla Firefox?? I REALLY NEED HELP ON THIS PLEASE!! Hello, I have no idea where almost 270 website / user names & passwords have Gone?? I used to have Over 300 in my Firefox/Mozilla Options/Passwords File, (Password Manager) up until 2 or 3 weeks ago.. Now, I have Only 33 user names/Passwords when I opened it up tonight.. The reason I went to FIND a user name & password for it, is Because I have (2) Programs that are NOT OPENING UP now, And (1) Program happens to be my ( WEBROOT Internet Security & Anti-Virus Software from Best Buy / Geek Squad..) This Webroot Loads Automatically every time I Boot my Computer, and Runs in the Background of my Windows 10 64-Bit operating System.. But, just about 2 weeks ago, the Webroot Dashboard that "Normally Opens" up in "Green", Now Opens up in "RED" and wants me to Provide my "Membership ID", and The "Product Key" to it.. And this is a Paid Subscription thru Best Buy / Geek Squad Every Year, ( and Does Not Expire until This coming November of 2022..) So, Now I Know why this Webroot is Not Loading, and is asking me for my "Information".. Because I am MISSING This Information, And 269 Other Logins, & Passwords from Mozilla Firefox.. Could SOMEONE? Please, Advise me as to "WHERE" the "Encrypted" (User names & Passwords) are on my Hard drive?? And How do I "IMPORT" These "FILES" back into Firefox's (Password Manager) ?? Thank You, DEXTER in Texas..

Hello, all:

I thought I could try posting here about finding a reliable tab management extension for Firefox or a program so I can sync the open pinned tabs I have on my laptops and phone with each other so I can be sure to refer to certain tabs when I'm not home or something outside of trying different extensions to see if it'll be done. That way, I can know I can be able to refer to what I need to find rather than having to go home to look on my laptop if I'm not home or something. Thank you in advance if you reply to this.

Hi. I have an older computer from 2007 with Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit fully updated on it, as well as an Intel Pentium M 2.3 GHz, 2 GB RAM, and an ATI Mobility Radeon X600 with the most recent Windows Update driver, which is 8.561.0.0 from Dec 1st 2008. I also have "DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010)" installed (had it before, and just reinstalled it anyway). And as I said, it's fully updated, meaning it also has the DirectX 11.1 update installed.

I installed the newest Firefox on it, and going on `about:support`, Hardware Acceleration tells me it's available by default but it's not working anyway (either "unavailable by runtime" or "failed by runtime", saying either that WebRender failed initializing, or that it failed acquiring a D3D11 device, and no idea why, because I think I just reinstalled it with the Microsoft DX installed from their download pages(?).

What does that mean? How can I fix this and get it to work? I could really use HW acceleration on this old thing. I've already disabled disk cache, and now the only issue is the high CPU bottleneck on it if I watch a video or do other rather intensive thing (even though the video is at 360p). [By the way, congratulations, this is the fastest browser I've found, and disabling disk cache and changing memory cache capacity are really very useful options, so thank you so much].

Does it help if I saw dxdiag says there was a problem with DirectShow, even though if I ignore the error, DirectShow, Direct3D and APG textures are still "Activated"? (If I don't ignore the error, dxdiag crashes)

I can provide any other required information. Thank you.

Hello,

I have issue in firefox for URL not update. I have describe details scenario in below.

Ref Url: https://new.axilthemes.com/demo/react/blogar/post-list

Step:-1: Visit Mentioned above URL.

Step-2: Change Page from Navbar Page menu and change any one.

Above two step no any issue. Step-3: Follow again Step-1; Step-4: Disturbed URL like this ( https://new.axilthemes.com/demo/react/blogar/post-list1111111) but make sure after URL change do not page refresh. Step-5: Now you can change Page from Navbar Page menu and change any one. Observe Behavior your page changed but URL not refresh and this is only happened only firefox browser.

I have Logins & Passwords (about:logins) as a bookmark in my toolbar. Sometimes you need to look up a password. I opened about:logins in a new tab and there is nothing there. No content, whatsoever.

I AM logged into Firefox. No, I haven't installed any security features recently. My history and my bookmarks are all intact. When I go to a previously visited site, I DO get the prompt for my user name and it DOES supply the password. It's only about:logins where no data at all is displaying. I can't search, it isn't showing me anything.

I tried to export passwords from about:logins but it didn't work, that is, I thankfully actually remembered my Firefox password and it prompted a csv download, but nothing was saved (presumably because there is no content within about:logins) to generate into a csv.

Now what?

I am unable to find Move to <display-name> option under Windows menu item. It is available for almost all other apps (inbuilt/ downloaded) i use everyday and wondered why. I use it considerably to move around windows according to priority. I miss this on Firefox. I searched for customizing but did not find much help online.

I am a dev with an external monitor, used Firefox on windows, and recently switched to Firefox on Macbook m1. Including me, I guess there would be many more who would love this on Firefox. Can anyone help on this ?

Attached images for reference.

I am using v. 104.0.1 Every time I open the browser I get the pop-up notifying me that an update is available. I don't want to update at this time. I can and will update when I prefer to. How can I get this annoying pop-up to stop? Please don't make me go to Edge. Please.

Thank you.

I am trying to access 2 giff gaff accouns to change my pay in information[card going out of useable time] and need to be done during Sepember 2022. No matter what I try I cannot get on to their system. Is there some form of block in my firefox system that will not allow me - I am told I need to allow them, but I simply do not understand how? Where are Preferences and how do I access them?

When I update my website, It is unable to make the update public as the message that comes up tells me another website has embedded mine. How do I rectify this problem please?

In Windows and Linux, FF 105.0.3 fails to bring up the sign in area of the https://zoom.us/signin#/login page. I have no problem in FF 104.0.1 64-bit or Brave 1.44.112 64-bit. I searched for recent posts, but couldn't find anyone else having this problem.
