I still have a computer with Windows 7 and I still love using it despite that the world wants me to give it up and upgrade, which I have with several other computers I own, but I enjoy my uncluttered and non-super-spyware-laden Win7 system, but I get the feeling that Firefox is purposely trying to upend a smooth browsing experience for those of us who are stubborn and unwilling to part with our old systems, and yes, I am a VERY suspicious person. They are doing this in Win 7 [and not on any other system I own of higher OS] by having FF constantly writing huge amounts of nothing to my disk, taking no less than a minute each time. What does this do ? It causes STALLING of any and all functions until some internal clock decides to stop and release the system from this turmoil. FF is hoping the user will get so frustrated that they will give up on Win7 and go to the hyper-surveillant Win11, but some of us are infinitely patient and will wait for the day when FF says "You can no longer browse the internet with this version of Firefox," and I know that day will arrive. Thanks, Soros. So my question is, if there's even an answer ; is there anything I can do besides all the usual page long crap of suggestions about computer maintenance, all of which are trite and redundant, so that I do not have to put up with this constant stalling via overwriting to disk ? Even Norton shows logs of FF excessive writing to disk and lists it in the Norton history. None of this EVER happened until the notice arrived, what, a year ago or so, that M$ and FF were no longer supporting Win7. How coincidental that I should now have to endure some kind of psychological torment for not allowing my entire computer experience to be surveilled by the DEMONS THAT BE. Thank you, and if you find my rhetoric too inflammatory, then just forget it, but understand how sick to death of you meatheads I am.

ALL my add-ons and themes are suddenly disabled (bookmarks, etc & all else seem to be normal) - I have so many add-ons I can't remember which were enabled & which were disabled. Is there not a way to just restore them/Firefox back to the way it was?

Have issue when using Firefox where my PC internet connection gets disconnected. Running troubleshooting I get "The default gateway is not available" and to resolve it has to reset the network adapter. It occurs regardless if using internal Intel Centrino wireless N 6150 or external TP-link wireless Nano USB Adapter. The trigger is larger data upload... such as running a speed test or on a video meeting. Does not occur while using Chrome on same PC. This PC is running a older Windows 7 OS that I am aware is no longer supported. I am wondering if someone has ever come across this issue and know if there is a fix?

My windows 7 hard drive crashed and I was able to recover most of the data but I am not able to find my old bookmarks from the old crashed drive into the new working drive. I currently have the crashed drive as a slave drive and can access folders but how do I transfer the old bookmarks to the newly installed hard drive?

I have firefox 115.13 and it freezes intermittently for about 15 seconds. It didn't do this before 115.13. I'd like to revert to 115.12 and keep it there. How can I do this?

I cannot connect to any Starbuck's or McDonald's ISP, Public Connection. My computer will say I will have "internet access", but when you go to get enter any URL it will time out saying "no internet access". and yes, it always works fine with my home wifi. I'm using Firefox with windows 7. Thank You

Hello: Q1- I moved Thunderbird from my C drive to my D drive but...C drive still contains active content Thunderbird uses. I'm not sure about when I backup my profile folder, all the data is really being backed up? eg. C:\Users\mdc\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\cy4sug48.default-release

      F:\Users\mdc\ProgramData\Thunderbird\Profiles\cy4sug48.default

I also changed all my Thunderbird registry entries to D drive. I don't understand why C drive is still active?

Q2- When I choose Import from a Thunderbird profile this comes up (see attached picture)? This directory does not exist! Where is it coming from?

Regards -mdc

Hi,

I have the following problem: Windows 7 crashed after coming back from standby. When I restarted Firefox it restored a 3-month-old session. The sessionstore.jsonlz4 file was missing in the profile folder. I searched for a backup in the sessionstore-backups folder; unfortunately all were too old. Windows Restore was not running on my computer.

Using EaseUS Data Recovery I found a recovery.baklz4 file from 10 days ago, tried renaming it etc. but Firefox won't use it for recovering. It is probably corrupt ...

I used https://www.jeffersonscher.com/ffu/scrounger.html but I get an error saying: Session history file contents could not be read?

Is there any way to repair the file or extract the URLs to use them manually?

Or any other solution is very welcome! Thank you very much!
