Helping a friend who is using Firefox without having a Mozilla profile/account who is upgrading to a new PC. - Is there a way to export her passwords to a file and restore to the new PC? Going from Win 7 to Win 11. - Otherwise, can she just create a Mozilla account on her old PC and turn Sync on to transfer to the new PC? I am assuming all her settings will be retained. Thank you very much for your time:-)

This has been happening for months. I am unable to access my twitter/X account. I am also unable to share anything, as well.

Please fix this problem. Thanks

My Firefox install apparently did a background update that did not complete, I get an error 'XULRunner / Error: Platform version '129.0' is not compatible...'

I did not (do not) have a profile I had logged into for that installation, but did have many passwords saved that I'd like to still be able to use if at all possible.

I have installed another instance of Firefox that is working (on platform 129.0), and am using Windows 11. I also turned off automatic updates in hopes of preventing this in the future.

The previous profile still exists in AppData/Roaming, but I don't know how/if I can connect it to the new installation I now have.

Is it possible to either fix the incomplete update or connect my old profile to this new instance so I don't have to reset all my passwords?

Thanks!

Forming paragraphs with left hand margin in block form. Whenever I type an outgoing message, the left hand margin gets chopped up. I want the margin to always be in "block" form, in the same manner as this paragraph, where the left-side margin sentence structure matches up. Right now, the computer is making the left hand margin non-existent.

I want outgoing messages to display as block form on the left side. It now ends up being chopped up with no particular margination. I have no idea where to go to choose this option.

On Weddnesday evening I switched on my desktop computer and was ligging into an on line drawing classsite which would give me access to a Class on Zoom when notification of an update for Firefox appeared on the screen. I think the message was that the update would be downloaded and then the computer would do a restart. I think the download occurred but not the restart. I was then logged onto the site and clicked to join the class. I was only on about 20 minutes as Zoom kept dropping outto the zoom login screen. After this happened about 5 times I gave up and switched the computer off. On Monday I logged onto aother zoom class via the came site and againthe Zoom class kept dropping me out to the login screen although a couple of times it went back in on its own. I have contacted the Zoom Help and seemed to be typing to a badly programmed AI robot and could not get it to understand I didn't want to know about setting up my mic and camera. Please be warned I'm retired and not good with electrons and IT speak etc.

This is a persistent issue for many a version. I've tried these config settings too and it still consistently-inconsistent resets it sometimes. app.update.auto (->false) app.update.auto.migrated (->false) app.update.enabled (->false) app.update.service.enabled (->false) DisableAppUpdate (->true)

It does this on closing hanging browser or on system power off (without closing browser manually). Also if setting is set to don't update -> close browser within a minute -> when reopened it is on autoupdate again.

For a number of months, I have not been able to update firefox to my Linux system. I download it and opened the downloaded file, opened various files, but nothing happens. I have tried using various methods to download and update it, but I continue to get a message that update is available. I'm currently using 121.0.1. I have a number of download files in my download folder, such as..."/home/jim/Downloads/firefox-128.0(1).tar.bz2" I tried to uninstall and reinstall "How to remove Mozilla Firefox from Ubuntu"

   sudo apt remove firefox.
   sudo rm -Rf /usr/bin/firefox.
   sudo rm -Rf /usr/loca/firefox.
   sudo snap remove firefox.

and then this "Install Firefox" First, add the Mozilla signing key $ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 6DCF7707EBC211F. And then install the latest version of Firefox with this command: $ sudo apt install firefox. These commands seem to complete normally, but I continue to get "update available" messages. I give up. I've done everything I can think of. Help would be greatly appreaciated. Jim
