How do I get my Firefox browser account reconnected?. I've tried several re-installs (of Firefox) and now I've lost all my data, plus get a "Account disconnected" message; showing my correct email adress.

Any help greatly appreciated. I used to sync to my mobile, is there a way I can get my data back from maybe there; after I get the account reconnected please?

When I use the puzzle icon to access my extensions, my view is completely different from the images provided in various posts. i do recall the screen shots that were posted as similar to earlier extension management methods used on my previous Firefox. There is no gear to the right of my extensions; i show an enable/disable switch and a 3 dot menu "..." remove/report/manage. I have attempted to reinstall both extensions without success. I have never had problems installing any of my previous extensions, so this has been interesting. firefox esr ?.. Current version is installed.

Why do i have a different extensions page than described, and is there a way to pin my extensions differently?

Hello, I am using firefox on a desktop with linux manjaro. Everytime I minimize the browser it's closed instead. I have gone through the setting of my operating system, and firefox. I cannot find any reason why the browser would close instead of minimize.

Thank you, Gary

When I try to access both sites from the email links & browsers (both FireFox & Chrome), get blank page with a large black Q. Delete history & cache - no change. But able to access via my generic Android phone. Did just email one of those sites - via my phone. (Noticed both sites are somehow related when I found a contact email.) Have already tried Apple Community but no help there.

Is there anything I could be trying via FireFox. Have the most current update for my older MAC - El Capitan OS 10.11.6 - have tons of memory. Thanks for your help! Tried screen shots - think only the bottom of the Q comes up but you get the idea.

I first mentioned this in r/Firefox, and was asked to re-post here.

My FF just updated to 127.0.1 even though I have "Check for updates but let you choose to install them" and told it to wait. This was on a Windows 11 box. Everything seemed fine, but then one of my tabs crashed. I selected the reload tab option, at which point it informed me it could not load the tab because a background update had happened and I was now required to restart Firefox.

I'm not certain what version of FF I was on, I believe it was either 126 or 126.0.1.

Now, to be completely fair, I cannot with 100% certainty say that I clicked on the update later option. That said, as I _did not want to update then_, and I have put off the update before, it seems unlikely I would have made the mistake, but I wasn't recording everything I did so I can't play it back and prove it. My initial reaction was to associate it with the tab crashing somehow, as everything was working as expected right up until that moment.

Thanks

Hello! Google won't keep me logged in onto their services on Firefox, so that means for every time i open up Firefox I have to re-log in. I don't know why this happens, and I want to keep myself logged in onto google services but I don't know how to toggle it. Please help thank u!

I subscribed to an educational series that includes several kinds of presentation, including MP3, PDF, and video. The videos do not work. Not at all. I was directed to try a different browser, which I did: microsoft edge. The videos play using that browser.

I MUCH prefer to use Firefox -- do not like anything microsoft, but here we are, trapped in bill gates' monopoly.

I looked at "settings" but was not able to see anything there I thought would allow these videos to play in firefox. Be advised, I am NOT a computer person, so anything you might suggest, please be very literal, specific and define any acronyms -- do not assume I know anything about this stuff, because I don't -- I do not speak computer.

Again, I MUCH prefer to use firefox so I am hoping you can help me to watch these videos in firefox. The website is Goodness Lover (weird name, I know) it deals with diet, microbiome research etc.

So, I've switched to Firefox as my main browser (I was using it before, but as a secondary option) and I've spotted this native extension called Pocket.

When I pressed it, I was on YouTube Music already, so it automatically saved that url. Now, the reason of contacting support is more of concern than anything. When I pressed it, a weird message has been attached to it, so I am wondering why, as it is confusing to say the least. I've attached a screenshot with the saves, which also has the weird message and YouTube for comparison next to it.

Thanks.

When Firefox opens up the address is typed in at top left in small print. The center bar is there, open, but if you click on it, while the cursor blinks, when you type in an address nothing appears as it does with Google Chrome which we have replaced with Firefox. My wife finds the top left print too small and wants me to go back to Google Chrome where she can read what she has entered. I cannot find anything, anywhere which will allow her to do this. We use Thunderbird and have made a few donations over the years. Hope you can help.

I don't know why or if it's related to Firefox, but For the last couple of weeks after logging into Instagram or Facebook or Disney+ or Paramount+ or X I get an email from them that says I logged in from a device I don't usually use. I have had the same device for several years. Getting those emails is annoying and also concerning. Can I fix this somehow? FYI I use Duck Duck Go via Firefox for my internet searches.

M3 Macbook Pro, Sonoma 14.3.1. Firefox ESR 115.12.0esr (64-bit).

Fresh FF install right after setting up OS. Opening FF from OS opens home page. If FF is not running & I click a link in another program (email, GIMP help menu link, etc.) FF opens the linked page but also opens the home page (2 tabs). If FF is running, the linked page is opened in a new tab, leaving current tab(s) in place, the expected behavior.

FF is default browser. Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed is selected. Created a vanilla test profile with no modifications to settings, made it default, and got the same result.

On my previous laptop (don't remember FF version - whatever the latest Intel ESR version was about a month ago) opening FF from the OS opened to the home page. Opening FF (not running) from a link in another program opened only the linked page and not the linked page + home page. FF already running behaved the same as now.

My OS account name is changed in the troubleshooting information.

I am currently on windows 11 for ARM (surface laptop 7) and this problem is occurring with both Firefox as well as Firefox developer edition. It's also only happening on my external monitor. I have done some searching and found posts from as long as 4 years ago. The posted solution is to disable any compatibility options but in my case none are selected. This is driving me nuts, does anyone know of a solution? This has to be firefox specific because no other program does this, including other browsers. I have included a screenshot to show what it looks like.

I am not computer savy and I have tried every way I know to get to the following web site. Please help me. I put it in and it just says not logged in. I have tried changing passwords and that does not matter. I feel something is blocking it and I am not smart enough and to old to figure it out. https://mychart.clevelandclinic.org/Authentication/Login? Thank you Jean Brummett Jeandet11@aol.com

Hello every professional engineer

I knew how to convert the Firefox file sessionstore.jsonlz4 to .json file by using this website https://www.jeffersonscher.com/ffu/scrounger.html

and after editing the resulting .json file

How can I convert it back to .jsonlz4 file to return it to my Firefox profile as it was?
