Hello Firefox Community,

I'm experiencing a significant issue with my Firefox bookmarks after migrating to a new Mac device. Background:

1. 1 I recently switched to a new Mac and installed Firefox.
2. 2 Before the switch, I was using Firefox on another Mac, and I had synced all my bookmarks and other data with my Firefox account.
3. 4 The old Mac has since been formatted, and unfortunately, I no longer have access to it.
4. 5 After signing in to my Firefox account on the new Mac, I noticed that none of my previously synced bookmarks appeared. It’s as if the sync didn’t bring over any of my old data.

TL;DR: Despite having synced my bookmarks with Firefox on my old Mac, they did not transfer to my new Mac after syncing. I’m worried that these bookmarks might be lost forever.

Is there any way to recover my old bookmarks from the Firefox Sync servers or through any other means?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi, I asked the question below a year ago and unfortunately didn't see the response until now.

"Firefox closes unexpectedly" https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1417756 Thank you Paul for your response!

I followed the advice but there are 'no' crash reports are created when this happens.

It always seems to be when I'm typing in a text field (and possibly typing control keys too).

I've googled 'short cut' keys for Windows to see if something I'm typing is doing it but haven't found anything.

So other than installing a keylogger on my device is there any other way to figure out what is going on?

Does Firefox have a log file? If so is there a log that says ..."User closed the browser". That would tell me it is me typing something in that is somehow telling the browser to close.

I also don't see any app crash reports in MS Event Viewer. Will Firefox crashes show up there?

Thanks again for any help or guidance you can supply!

Hello! I have been having certain visual bugs occurring within the Firefox browser, I do not know what's causing them but am hoping someone can help! Firefox keeps on adding or changing translucent white boxes to multiple websites, I have some from YouTube attached below but I've had this issue on multiple websites. I'm using an ARM architecture Surface Pro X and when I reached out to Microsoft they couldn't help me since the error was just in Firefox.

There one thing that currently a joke and useless, themes. Currently Firefox themes are just a single image and that it. I don't use it because I want more then a single image. There one web browser that does themes better then Firefox. SeaMonkey, that also own by Mozilla, has a way better themes then Firefox. This option should be added to Firefox to make Firefox better then it is. SeaMonkey has the best themes of all the web browser including Edge and Chrome. These themes are useless that are available in Firefox, Edge, and Chrome are a joke. The themes in SeaMonkey are the best. Besides the image in themes and the color of the toolbar, black or white only, nothing changes.

Firefox is adding empty lines to the css file in web developer like so:

1. videoFiles {

 left: 0;
 z-index: 3;
 width: 250px;
 height: 40px;
 opacity: 0;
 cursor: pointer;

}

1. image_files {

 height: 40px;
 width: 250px;
 z-index: 3;
 opacity: 0;
 cursor: pointer;

}

.previewVid {

 width: 50%;
 padding: 10px;

}

Those empty lines are not in the css file and so it is reporting the wrong line numbers. So hard to find the correct line in the actual file.

Hello - I've noticed lately that when I type a search, sometimes Firefox does nothing. It doesn't pull any results, it acts like I've done nothing, but I can see the search terms I typed in the address bar, separated by + symbols. It simply doesn't go anywhere and doesn't perform the search. I do a lot of searching when I'm working and this happens approximately 1 out of every 15-20 searches. I've attached an image where I opened a new tab, typed my search term and it remains on the homepage. You can see the search terms in the address bar.

Up until a few weeks ago, I could see and access Mobile Bookmarks (I sync these to my Firefox Desktop) using the Firefox Desktop browser from the Bookmarks drop-down menu in the topmost toolbar.

Now, I can no longer find Mobile Bookmarks in the Bookmarks drop-down menu.

I can still find it by choosing Manage Bookmarks and, in the resulting pop-up, I can see it in its regular location there. However, this is significantly less convenient as it requires me to juggle another window and perform more clicks.

Is it missing due to a bug? Does Mozilla intend to fix/address this?

Thank you in advance for any help.

Hello, I get crashes when I watch videos on Twitch or YouTube. They happen every half hour UUID 4ff8ecc7-72f0-43dd-a092-3bf250240829

On using Google search, many times it behaves as if I've done nothing...

Communication between Firefox and their server seems dropped. Press enter/search and... nothing

Or do they* want us to use Chrome?

2x in the last 4 days my Lycos/Mailcity email account will not function. However when I switch to a different browser it works fine. I receive the red triangle with a white exclamation point. Can you help me fix it please? Renee Harvey Email hidden for privacy reasons

Seemingly straightforward searches through the options like:

• "Reset firefox"
• "Clear cookies"
• "Empty cache"

None of these things pull up any results when searching the settings... Why?
