Every so often the firefox icon pinned to the taskbar becomes blank. Selecting the icon results in file not found message and asks if I want to delete.

There's a lot of articles on internet about this problem. The fix always seems to be "just re-pin to taskbar"

I can re-pin Firefox to the taskbar but should not have to.

Long time Firefox user using Windows10 latest updates. Please advise a permanent fix.

Regards, Dennis

I have two firefox accounts. Got a new computer and trying to sync to the new one. I have tried to sync both of them. But only 34 of 300 passwords transferred and only 20ish bookmarks of 100s transferred.

I have tried looking into both accounts on both computers at the same time, run sync, but nothing more will transfer

I play the game at https://word-salad.archive.org/, but most of the time it's considered insecure. This is the error I get: Error code: SSL_ERROR_INTERNAL_ERROR_ALERT. Yet, it will come on if I enter the url later in the day. Do you know why it's a hit and miss url? I would think that if they fixed it once, it would be okay.

I have latest version of Firefox on Windows 11 PC (fully updated). It initially opened full screen and subsequently started minimized (small). I have tried deleting or renaming xulstore.json multiple times through about:support. This works for a few openings and then the issue recurs. Running in troubleshooting mode with extensions disabled makes no difference. Getting very frustrated. Have also tried changing opening mode in Windows file properties without success.

I am trying to watch a movie on Criterion Collection, this has not happened before, but now I am getting a message that says I have to use a supported browser. I always use Firefox and I am using the latest version which has just updated. Is this a problem with Criterion not being up to speed on the update? Or is there another issue causing this problem?

I am unable to load the video pages on prime video in firefox. Instead of loading the video's page, it gives me a black screen and says "That shouldnt' have happened. It looks like something went wrong on our side. Let's find you a great video to watch instead." It works fine in Chrome, and other streaming sites like Netflix also work. I tried upgrading firefox, and upgraded to 129.0 (64 bit), but the same error is still happening. I contacted Amazon support, they couldn't figure it out, and told me to talk to Firefox support.

I disabled ublock origin, and disabled trackign protection, and error still occurs.
