Hello, there is no audio on my PC when I click on the audio button from dict.cc and dict.leo websites. I click it and the tab says it's playing audio but there is none. The audio button used to work and I didn't change anything. Other sites like YouTube work fine. How can I fix it?

I have a pinned tab (from Distill Monitoring addon) that always has to be pinned. And thats ok. But the problem is that every few minutes, new duplicate pinned tabs emerge so that around 5 or 8 of them emerge. I only want one pinned tab open, not several duplicate pinned tabs. How do I fix this with CSS or other means?

Here's what happened: I had installed Firefox on a different computer using my current profile backup copy/pasted, into

C:\Users\Al\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\s99pq6qr.default

& it worked ok .... but when I signed out & back in days later & launched Firefox on the new computer...

The problem is that it had 2 profiles on the new computer...mine & a generic one ..& that generic one became the starting or DEFAULT profile... obviously without all my data....so I backed out & later deleted that one generic profile so mine would be the only DEFAULT profile used. 

But from then on trying to use my profile on the new computer copy/pasted from my main laptop that I’ve had FF on for10 years...failed .....as it kept using the generic one...& all attempts at fixes to get only my backup profile used didn’t work...so.... & had to do a complete uninstall of Firefox using REVO..as it finds all folders & files hidden around places....but ....after REVO uninstall I found more folders &files of Mozilla & Firefox all around in my C drive...SO..after eliminating everything I could & starting over ...by downloading a new Firefox browser application on the new computer ...but before running the set up files... Now... I want to reinstall Firefox on this different computer ....& make sure that only my backup profile is used!

I was going to try Backup assistant.... But HOW DO I LOCATE & USE/RUN Backup assistant?

When I read this:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/switching-devices

These are the steps you need to follow:

Click the menu PhotonMenuButton button in the top right corner of the screen.
Click Help.
Click Switching to a new device.

BUT...I DON’T WANT TO “Switch to a new device.” I WANT TO KEEP IT AS IT IS ON MY CURRENT DEVICE ....AND...WHILE ADDING IT TO MY NEW COMPUTER TOO (I might be confused at the term 'switch')

Then I thought of using Sync When I read this about Connect additional devices to Sync: To connect another desktop computer or profile, just sign in and let Sync do the rest. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-set-sync-my-computer How do I know if I already had set up Sync on my computer? how to access it

I’m sorry.. but just overwhelmed/confused with too many help articles here...

& on the internet....

Thanks for any help & suggestions!

Unable contact seller on Ebay, error "Firefox Can’t Open This Page To protect your security, www.google.com will not allow Firefox to display the page if another site has embedded it. To see this page, you need to open it in a new window."

Added ebay.com to exclusion list for security in Firefox. I am not able to ope this link in a new tab. Appears to be a bug.

This issue started a few weeks ago. When I receive an email in my outlook account and click on it, a new window opens but there is no content, the page is blank. I know the link is working because if I copy and paste it into a new window it works fine. Is there a setting I need to change to be able to click on a link and have it open, like it has in the past? Since it is a new issue I am not sure if it is from an update or something. Thank you

Newsmax.com page will not load. When trying to load I get the following: ""An error occurred when trying to load newsmax.com. The authenticity of the received data could not be verified. Please contact website owners to inform them of this problem.""

I have Yahoo.com as my email provider (Firefox is my internet provider). When I get emails I don't want, I move them to the Junk Email option BUT, it only deletes that specific email and does NOT keep it from being sent again (and they ARE, repeatedly). I contacted Yahoo and and all they do is send me to a website that will answer the question but sign me up for a monthly $46 to $55 fee. Any way known that I can solve my problem?

This may be more of a Firefox sync problem, I'm not sure, but either way it is irritating. Every time I open Firefox it has me signed out of all my google accounts no matter how many times I select stay signed in or keep me signed in. I don't have the setting for deleting cookies on and I don't believe anything on my computer is clearing cookies without me knowing, and I personally do not clear cookies often if ever. If anybody knows what could be causing this any advice/help would be extremely useful and greatly appreciated, thank you.

I have been told by my bank that firefox wants their customers who are having a problem with the website when using firefox to contact firefox directly. How do I do that? I have wasted way too much time trying to find that contact information. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey I've reinstalled my PC i installed Firefox. Login to Firefox Sync. And now it's empty. no tabs, no passwords, everything is gone. I usually do this every time and it work. I am sync my Android phone with all my passwords and bookmarks

It has been suggested to me that I need I need a downloadable offline version of a browser suitable for running under windows XP professional version 2002 sp3 that will also be compatible with HTML5 - whatever it is it will need to be something I can download on a windows 10 machine as an offline installation and copy across and install on the other PC. At the moment I can't get through to any https websites though I can search on bing.com which is http but then if I click on one of the search findings it doesn't go anywhere. I have tried various technical suggestions found online on my usual pc for a while now.

Is there a compatible downloadable version available from firefox that I can try?

I have just tried the downloadable version of OPERA for windows xp but that doesn't seem to work properly - I can get into ebay now, which I could not previously but the formatting is all wrong - just lists of this and that, no pictures, also it shows www.ebay.com even if I type https:// in front of it before hitting return

Would be grateful for any suggestions to solve this problem

When I input my backup code, mozilla shows the error "There was a problem confirming your backup authentication code". I tried inputting just one of the codes and all the codes. I'm not sure what to do.

I was told my bank that there has been an issue with firefox since the last upgrade. I can sign into my account, but if I try to do anything or click on anything, the site locks up and I can not do anything except for sign out. They told me that it was on your end and that you needed customers to reach out. It's becoming frustrating that I can't use firefox for this application. I can get into my account and do what needs to be done with other browsers. What can you do on your end. The bank is Mission Federal Credit Union. Thank you! I look forward to hearing back with good news!

New W11 computer. checked "always ask where to save files". Restarted Firefox. It's still automatically dumping downloads in Downloads rather than asking.

Why?

I had two Firefox windows open and I accidentally closed the good one while trying to close out another app. Is there an "in-Firefox" app that will restore everything?

I tried reading the instructions but couldn't comprehend them outside of changing the name of sessionstore.something. I couldn't comprehend where to get the tabs I accidentally closed.

I would prefer the easy button. The easiest button possible.

Thanks.
