I had a Firefox update I believe last Friday 16th August. This resulted in a disastrous event whereby an error message displayed: error message 129. I finally managed to open a version of Firefox but I had lost all my bookmarks and open tabs. I also had to sign in to all existing websites which I had previously automatically had access to. The strange thing was that the version of Firefox that I had opened was from 2022 sometime because of the data that appeared. I am totally devastated by the loss of my bookmarks. :( What can you do to help?

Something out of the ordinary occurred the other day when my copy of Firefox no longer was able to connect to the internet. A bit of searching revealed that my Mac system no longer compatible with Firefox 115.4

The Mozilla website clearly showed that older Mac systems, such as 10.12 10.13 and 10.14 were no longer able to work with the latest Firefox update and to download Firefox 115 ESR version.

After starting it up the newer version just showed a brand new version without any of my often used bookmarks, extensions, history etc.

I believe it’s possible to return all those often used elements to my everyday browser experience but just how, befuddles me! Perhaps there is a website detailing this information?

I keep getting a browser error message on a site that I use almost daily. I have cleared cookies and cache and run the troubleshooter but still get the same message. Thanks.

Hi, I can get the bank website page but it won't let me log in. I have tried all the usual emptying cookies etc. and refreshing Firefox and running Microsoft troubleshooter. This is with Firefox on Windows 11. But I have tried it with Firefox on my Linux computer (Ubuntu) and it doesn't work on that either. Both say the container.do file is empty. Thanks

Hello, whenever I try to type into a text box the "manage passwords box" appears, which is fine with me, but with this website...there is a drop down menu, which then makes the password box completely cover it, and I've been trying to find a work around, but nothing work, I want to save my passwords, the feature is great, the password box is fine with me in other websites, is there like a button to press to remove the password autofill box when I don't need it, or simply just remove the autofill suggestions, because the fact it keeps covering the drop down menu is becoming annoying.

Hi,

It's been a while since this problem first occurred but I am now very sure that this is about Firefox and not about graphics driver. This happens both when the hardware acceleration is turned on and turned off.

When I open a website that has mainly images or videos, the browser goes blitz (Reddit, Twitch, etc.). Screen splits to multiple views, it starts flickering and continues until I switch to another tab or quit Firefox. For flickering to stop, I need to restart the computer. I can also send a video if you can communicate a proper way of sharing. (Drive link, youtube, etc.)

Is there any way I can ensure Firefox does not break things on my computer?

Thanks

t's been a nightmare. My Firefox keeps crashing, and it's driving me crazy! I can be in the middle of something important, like researching for a project or catching up on my https://dpforboys.com/ favorite shows, and suddenly, bam, it's closed. No error message, just gone.

I've tried everything I can think of:

Reinstalled Firefox multiple times Cleared cache and cookies Disabled extensions one by one Updated my graphics drivers Checked for malware Nothing seems to work. It's like Firefox has a mind of its own, and it's determined to make my life difficult. I'm starting to think it's a hardware issue, but I'm not sure.

I need help! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Google search has stopped working intermittently for about a month now (August 2024) in Firefox. I haven't seen a real useful fix or explanation of what's going on from Mozilla. Please fix this. It wasn't an issue before.

I know I'm not the first person to report this problem, but the webappsstore.sqlite file in my profile folder is very large, over 85 MB. I don't want to delete it because I don't want to lose my bookmark data, which are stored in this database (I even double-checked this by temporarily moving the database out of my profile folder, basically as if it were "deleted," and started Firefox, and sure enough all my bookmarks' data were gone).

I tried running `sqlite3 vacuum` on it, but that only reduced it to 79 MB. Is there another way to further cleanup old or unimportant data in this database?

Some commercial sites will not accept my credit card payment because they say my browser is out of date. Many other sites are accepting and processing my orders. How do I rectify this problem?

i am already reached out to nord vpn for support, and i cant access google.com while conected to firefox on my computer,it works just fine on my laptop,

When I'm on YouTube I can hear everything just fine. When I go to Chaturbate I have to turn the volume up to 100 and then I can only barely hear any audio. Can you help me fix this please? It might be something very basic that I'm missing, but how do I check volume settings for a specific website? Or is the problem something else? I appreciate any help you can give me. Thank you so much.

Hello!

When I try to log into a medical chart I keep getting the following message,

Oops!

Server is missing the required Special Updates: E10513993, E10515928, E10516261, E10516347, E10516634, E10517430, E10517163, E10518158

I have the latest Firefox update and can't find the above updates to install them. Please help. Thank you!

I used to be able to press Enter in the empty Firefox search bar to bring up the (DuckDuckGo) search page and enter my search from there. Don't ask me why I like doing that, but now after the latest Firefox update, 128.0, on my MacBook Air I can't do that anymore. I have to type in the search bar to bring up the search page.

I know it's a small thing but I wonder if it can be put back to the way it used to be.

Hi, Hopefully someone can help. This started a couple of days ago. I'm actually trying to log in to my own account on Flickr. If I just input Flickr.com, the main front page loads, if I then go to log in, I get: "429 Too Many Requests You have sent too many requests in a given amount of time" on the screen. I've only hit enter once. As far as I can see this is the only site that does this BUT Youtube sometimes plays up, so maybe something is happening in the back ground with that. Might be totally unconnected.

I've tried using Opera (my main back up) and that loads my account just fine. I've tried turning off the extensions Adblock, No Script etc and the 429 error still pops up everytime I go to log in..

Any ideas? Anyone?

Thanks in advance. Graham
