Firefox Community Forum

I'm trying to import my login data from chrome over to firefox as I'm switching browsers, but whenever I try to, it says that it has succesfully transported the files even though it hasn't. My bookmarks transfer over just fine, but my passwords don't. I have tried making a new profile and deleting the old one, going to about:config and changing signon.management.page.fileImport.enabled to true, but it still didn't work. I also tried deleting the files in firefox that store the passwords and trying again, but still nothing. I feel like I'm out of options, can anybody help here? And yes, chrome is closed

Hi,

I come back to use Firefox and discovered my personal email was associated with an account I created 5 years ago with my professional email that has been destroyed since then.

In the Firefox account settings it says: "Access your account if you can’t log in to your primary email."

But if I try to "Make primary" my secondary email it asks for a confirmation code from the primary email which I don't have access.

If I want to remove my secondary email in order to use it to create another account, it asks for a confirmation code.

If I want to delete the account, it asks for a confirmation code.

It's hard to understand what the use of a secondary email if it can't be used when needed.

What are my option to be able to use my personal email (secondary email of an existing account). Doesn't matter if I have to recreate an account but my personal email is locked to that account.

PS: I have access to the Firefox account but can't access the primary email.

Regards,

In creating a new account, I have long relied on Firefox offering to create a password. Now, though though I verified that automatic password generation is turned on in Settings, the feature is no longer working. How can I get this feature to work?

I have two windows devices and I have a lot of passwords saved on one of the devices and when I try to use those passwords on my other device they are not there. Going into the about:logins section I see that there are only a few passwords saved there despite having many saved on the first device. I have made sure that I am signed in, and that sync is enabled and yet it still doesn't work.

With the latest update to version 108.0.1 google does not search, youtube does not play and embedded videos do not show. All worked previous to the update. Can I uninstall the update and go back to previous version?

I've been having issues viewing many random webpages this past month using firefox. They all work fine use both Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Opera browsers.

I'm using the Firefox portable edition from https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable and been playing with my profile to rule out extensions. I'm not running windows 10 without and 3rd party security software.

I wish I took note of all the broken websites instead of just using a different browser but here is the latest page that doesn't work even using the latest firefox portable edition without even importing my profile & extensions:

Not sure if it's related to the portable edition or official build but will try the official installer next and report back.

so I installed firefox again after resetting my PC for installing windows 10 . And when I installed firefox again and login with my firefox account my logins and passwords i saved in the account are gone. Can you help?

When i reinstalled firefox everything was going fine until i noticed that i was being logged out of my accounts every start. I deleted my user folder and reinstalled firefox and its doing the same thing again. How do i fix this issue?

I have the setting: "When you open a link, image or media in a new tab, switch to it immediately" disabled, but it still jumps to the new tabs when I open links in them.

How do I stay on the same page while opening links in other tabs? I have tried CTRL + LEFT-CLICK, CENTER-CLICK, and RIGHT-CLICK menu to open in new tab.

I just checked to make sure Firefox was up to date.

Whenever I hover over a link on most websites (such as Google), the cursor freezes (so it stays as a clicking hand even when not over a link) and after a few seconds, the tab becomes a crash error message (see attached).

I'ver tried reinstalling, restarting the PC, clearing all addons, cache, history, etc, and several other about:config changes recommended for similar issues online, to no avail.

Running with the latest version on Windows 10.

When I open a new tab it always opens next to the source eg to the right of the tab i am using. Which is great and I prefer this.

But when I click a link from outside firefox to open a web page it always opens on the far right tab. Is there a way to change this so it opens to the right of current tab like normal?

I laboriously curated the Firefox bookmarks toolbar on one Windows device, which has retained those settings. On every other device using Firefox and signed in to the same Firefox account, Windows or macOS, the first ten or so bookmarks are where they should be, the rest are not only randomly ordered but retain bookmarks that were deleted on the curated Firefox machine. Signing in and out of the accounts on any of the machines does exactly nothing, simultaneously signing out and in on all the machines(recommended on some posts about this topic) is physically impossible given that the machines are in different physical locations. I was hoping to switch to Firefox from another browser that does not have this particular problem, but apparently that is not to be. TBH this is about as far as I am willing to go, if Firefox can't do what its supposed to do I can't fix it.

I am developing a React application with a Flask backend. The Flask backend has a "login" endpoint that sets an authentication cookie that is then supposed to be used to authenticate the end user in future requests to the backend.

After receiving the cookie from the Flask backend, the React app makes a call like so:

```

   const response = await fetch(apiUrl,{
       method: "GET",
       credentials: "same-origin"
   });

```

but Firefox does not include the authentication cookie. I am told this may be because Firefox doesn't store cookies transmitted over HTTPS from localhost.

For obvious reasons, I want Firefox to store the authentication cookie. What can I do to make sure Firefox stores the cookie?

I recently switched from Brave to FF. An annoying problem is that whenever I click web links in external programs such as Microsoft Teams, Outlook etc Firefox always opens it in a new window instead of a new tab like Brave did. Also the window it opens does not have my extensions enabled, indicating that it is some form of incognito or web view window or something? These are my settings.

How can I solve this issue?

Hey, videos are stuttering/dropping frames while playing a game. happens on youtube, twitch etc. when I tab out of the game it stops, tabbing into game is starts again.

I tried disableing hardware acceleration, putting FF in safe/troubleshooting mode, turning off Windows Game Mode, turning off NVidea Overlay... nothing worked.

While watching Task-Manager while tabbing in and out didnt rly change much, no RAM or GPU spikes.

GPU Drivers + Windows up to date.

tried another browser, stuttering isn't as severe on Edge or Chrome but is still very noticable

i posted this in r/firefox and another user discribed the same problem, he got his rig recently as well with the same cpu

pls help :D

My Setup: CPU: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13900K 3.00 GHz

RAM: 32,0 GB

GPU: RTX 3080

I was forced to upgrade when FF crashed the other day, and now all of my windows are sorted alphabetically. This was exactly the behaviour that caused me to switch from Chrome to FF in the first place. I *HATE* having my windows sorted alphabetically. I have certain windows that remain open all the time, and they remain at the top of my Window menu drop-down, for easy access. (Hence, chronological by when the window opened, the old default behaviour.) Now, FF "helpfully" changes the window position every time I change tabs, and I can't find anything. I mentally sort windows by subject matter, not by the name displayed on the tab. I have tens of windows (20-30 typically) open at any given time. This makes it literally impossible to use the Window menu anymore, and I have to tab through open windows searching for what I need.

Mozilla, please make this a configurable option. It was really horrible of you to enforce this on us, just because some squeaky-wheels decided they preferred alphabetical sorting. They clearly are not power users, and this change has crippled those of us who are.
