hello Since the 129.01 update yesterday 14-08-24, internet access for the desktop died completely. I used Microsoft Edge (don't ask what release) as a back up browser, that failed citing a DNS error.
Not knowing what to do I found a really old version of Firefox and installed that.
Things are coming back to life but I need to install v129.00 because that worked.
I had to use another computer (laptop win11) for access.
Need help so I can cancel the order for the new desktop.

For years I had my Firefox sync working fine between Win10 PC, Android and several Win10 laptops. However yesterday I installed Windows 11 on the same PC I have Windows 10 (bought new disk) just to have a fresh install. Started with installing firefox - and here when problems begin. It couldn't let me log in into Sync, I was being immediately logged out ("Account disconnected"). Somehow I managed to log in, but then all my previous data was erased (passwords, bookmarks). I thought ok, maybe later it's gonna sync. Started installing extensions, saved one password. When trying to sync tabs with Android phone it didn't work, it couldn't see any tabs (but it could share tabs between devices!). On Android I still have old passwords and bookmarks saved, same as on old Win10 (on which I got logged out). Alright - it didn't sync after restart so I removed Firefox profile on machine, started again with logging in - and it synced only ONE password that I saved previously on same Win11 machine, with extensions I freshly installed back then. So it saved to sync improper data, forgetting about old? Logged out from all of my machines in Firefox Account. Now I'm back to my original machine on Windows 10. And what? I can't log in! Same error as on Win11 after install - "Account disconnected". Checked about:sync-log and found error logs - pasted into "Troubleshooting information" of this post.
Thanks

There is a certain wiki site I visit which changes it's theme based on the game the wiki is about. I'm trying to change the color of the links on the website because they are the same color as the text so it's impossible to see which are links. I want to change only this websites link/text color.
I have opened about:config and tweaked browser.anchor_color
browser.visited_color.
This doesn't change the website link color im trying to change because the site sets it's own color for links and text.
Assuming it works the same on mobile as on the desktop, these color settings only get applied when a site doesn't define its own colors (i. e. basically never nowadays) - unless you explicitly set Firefox to override the sites' settings (`browser.display.document_color_use` set to "2", which corresponds to selecting "Always" from the dropdown menu in the color settings).

Is there any way I can completely disable horizontal scrolling? I'm using a laptop with a trackpoint (lenovo x230, Windows 10) and it's not terribly accurate, which means scrolling whilst a youtube video is going often makes it track backwards or forwards, and another website I use uses a horizontal click to send me to the next page, which sucks. I would prefer to just be able to disable it entirely. Thanks!
I swear to god I used to have it disabled, just need to work out how again.

Hi all,
I'm using Firefox 125.0 (64-bit) on Fedora and for file downloads, I have the options "Ask whether to open or save files" and "Always ask you where to save files" enabled.
This basically works, Firefox opens a file selection dialog and I can select where I want to save my downloads - so far, so good.
The weird thing is, the default location that is shown in this dialog seems to change every time I download a file. I would expect to see the last download location as the default option, but that is not what happens.
When I check about:config, I can see the last used download path is saved as browser.download.lastDir perfectly fine, but it is not set as the default for the next download.
Is there a parameter I can set so this last path is used again?
Thanks,
M.

Firefox Sync is not working appropriately insofar as, when I check Firefox on my Windows 11 desktop, I cannot see any tabs being synced from the Firefox app on my Android phone, even though both apps are logged into the same Firefox account and syncing open tabs is enabled on both machines.
However, when I check my phone, I can see all the tabs synced from my desktop. So, this seems to suggest that the sync process is working correctly on both desktop and mobile because I can actually see all the tabs that are open on my desktop, but I cannot see any of the tabs that are open my Android.
Everything is checked to sync on both the Windows and the Android Firefoxes.
Has anyone encountered a situation like this before, where sync is working appropriately, but one device seems to be refusing to upload specific data to the sync servers?
