After updating a W10 laptop from 115 to 116 of FF the user started having problems with getting to different websites (sites they worked on/with regularly). The problem is the cert DB. The doc I found says that it is cert8.db. Actually it is now cert9.DB.
What I had to do was go to task manager and kill a task that was holding the cert9.db file. Then I could rename it (cert9.old.db). Then restarted their laptop and FF came up and started fixing the cert file (as expected). This seems to have fixed their problem.

Hi.
Whenever I click a button on the keyboard, the CTRL+F function comes up on it's own. I had previously disabled it because it ruins all shortcuts on youtube and with tourettes, I often also get thrown around if I am reading long articles, because of misclicks.
Unfortunately I did the big mistake of updating, also with a tourettes-missclick, so my question is: 1) How do I remove the 'quick'-search function? I want the Ctrl+F bar to come up ONLY WHEN I CLICK ctrl+F, and I want it to go away again if I click ctrl+F again. I forget how to do it. 2) How do I remove all future update prompts? Given that it has been made so hard to configure firefox into something tolerable, I don't want to throw all my setup away with minor updates always thrown at me. It takes me a long time every time there's an update, I have to fix language and other stuff back again. It's just not worth it in time for me to use Firefox, if I have to make a setup so often. 3) Recommendations for the best version of Firefox to go back to and stay in for eternity, alternatively, browsers that does not change or add functions without first asking the user... (The answer is no, by the way, I don't want more new fancy functions)
Sorry for this nagging but I simply can't use my browser like this. It's just not working.

Prior to getting some desktop PC upgrades that required a new install of Windows 11 and a new install of Firefox, I backed up my entire PC (yea!).
Now that I have re-installed Firefox, I see that I have none of my saved bookmarks and so I want to restore the Firefox profile - all of it or at least the bookmarks.
I have tried following the Firefox instructions for this, but am apparently not doing it right.
I can't seem to locate the bookmarks file, for starters, in my backed up files. I find the profile but I don't find anything like places.sqlite.
Can someone help me so that I am locating the right (and complete) files, copying them correctly, and then switching to the new/old profile correctly?
Thanks in advance.

The spell checker isn't working for me. I've found old answers to this:
"You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages sub menu. At least one dictionary should be installed and have a check mark to indicate that it is selected.
open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you do not have one.
The spelling checker is enabled if [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu has a checkmark.
You can enable or disable spell checking globally:
Options/Preferences -> General: Language and Appearance: "Check your spelling as you type"
You can look here for dictionaries:
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/language-tools/
Note that for spell check you need a dictionary. A language pack provides string translations for the user interface.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/use-firefox-interface-other-languages-language-pack
You can check the layout.spellcheckDefault pref on the about:config page.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/layout.spellcheckDefault "'
But I don't understand what most of this means!
I don't find 'language' because I don't know where to find a "text box containing more than one line" I'd have thought this was one, but the option does not come up here when I right click.
I realise this is probably me being dense, but can someone help in simple terms, please? Thanks.
help me to open anything....

Firefox autoprints Microsoft Word and Excel documents despite setting otherwise.
about:config print.always_print_silent is now set to false. (was somehow set to true). After I set to false and reboot, same behavior occurs. I verified that same behavior does not occur in other browser.
I can't open all sexy sites like picture or videos. Tell me what to do please. Thank you ^_^

I noticed that someone else had this question, but instead of answering it, it just got archived.
When browsing Youtube, the browser Back Button doesn't work. For example, if I start on the Youtube main page, then click on a video, it will show the video. But then, when I click the browser's "Back" navigation buttion, it does not take me back to the main page. The URL in the address bar will be the main page, but it will continue to display the video I just watched instead.
This only seems to happen on Youtube. It's been a problem for a while - possibly as much as 2 years or even more. And it doesn't happen every single time. However, it has been happening a lot more frequently lately.
It's almost as if Firefox just doesn't want to refresh.
I've tried clearing the cache. The problem persists. I've dried disabling all add-ons. It still happens. I've tried running it in troubleshooting mode. Still a problem.
I've tried to duplicate this in Microsoft Edge; it doesn't seem to happen there.

I have a question about the same topic of this older thread here -
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1257189
...when you do some of the solutions to this problem the copy-and-paste from either the vertical column or in Bookmarks manager it will copy the whole URL code as the title of the link and not what you renamed that link or its default name from its creator.
Is there a way to copy-and-paste the bookmarks WITH the already-created link names attached from the previous Firefox / Waterfox browser?

I have multiple internal websites, which all follow the pattern of [site.one.two] which resolves fine using the internal DNS server i have configured by going to https://site.one.two and through other programs via site.one.two, and all the [one.two] suffixes are blacklisted from being resolved with DoH in firefox, but it still forces a web-search, even with searching from address bar being turned off, instead of resolving through my local DNS server (local server resolves local domain suffixes, anything else gets resolved through cloudflare DNS). I haven't found a fix in any other forums, and there are enough unique internal addresses that manually adding each and [every site.one.two] as an exception would be something i would like to avoid. Is there any way to tell firefox to resolve through DNS first for addresses or domain suffixes?

I want to disable overscroll. For those who don't know: it's the bouncy animation when you use scroll using a two-finger gesture past the beginning or end of a scrollable region.
The bouncing is an animation, and with animations disabled on my system, having this animation is an accessibility issue.
I guess I could split this question in two:
1. Can Mozilla please change Firefox so that it doesn't do this animation when animations are supposed to be disabled? 2. How can I disable this overscroll behaviour manually, separately from other animations?

hi,
i updated from 88 to 115 release. i noticed the contextual menu (the one when you mouse-right-click on a bookmark in a bookmark menu) have change... there are more item, and a different sort of each feature item.
i added a screenshot to help you understand my need: i wish to delete (or move) the "add bookmark - add folder - add separator" group and put in its place the "edit/delete bookmark" group. How to do that ?
It is strange, but in 30 years of computer activities, i never saw a "delete" feature option displayed before cut/copy/paste !!!! it almost looks like a tiny bug-issue :-) Maybe i should add it to bugzilla ?
thank you for you help and advice.

Hi ,
I tried to activate my firefox account on my new laptop. I also tried to add this new computer to firefox sync. The system shows me, that I am logged in with both my old and new computer After entering the password I am told that firefox account will sent me an e-mail to verify the account. I am told that I will receive a code at my e-mail address. The stored e-mail address is correct. I am told that the e-mail has been sent to my e-mail address. I have tried to receive an e-mail from my old computer as well. Whatever I do even after I added accounts@firefox.com into my contacts. I still don´t receive any e-mails with verification codes or links to verify my e-mail address. I really don´t know what else to try. I did not find any support adresses for firefox in europe. Please can anybody help.

I have a really niche case which there's probably no solution for but I want to ask just in case:
I'm happy with the behaviour of Firefox opening PDFs as it does currently except in one case: eBay shipping labels. When I buy a shipping label on eBay it presents two buttons: one is open and one is download. When I click download it both downloads and opens in a new tab. I can disable Firefox opening PDFs to stop that but then that affects my experience every time I try to open a PDF everywhere else.
Is there some way that I can stop Firefox from opening PDFs but only when they're opened from links that look like this? https://www.ebay.co.uk/ship/single/api/label-service/label/4049d9b7-5563-47e9-b181-6d0f50a6101e/download?printable=true&pageFormat=RAW&useImageFormat=false&attachment=true&consumer=LABELUI_SINGLE

When I go into fullscreen on firefox macos, hovering near the top shows the traffic lights (fullscreen, minimize, close window buttons) and moves everything down. This may be expected behavior, but it is very annoying as when you try to open new tabs the tab bar moves out of the way of the traffic lights, and the traffic lights area is around the size of the tab bar. Is there any way to make the traffic lights always visible or keep them from moving?
