During a thunderstorm and subsequent power cut my desktop (W10) would not reboot. Nothing just a black screen. My builder looked at it for two days and determined that it was the processor that had failed. I purchased a high spec refurbished desktop (W11) which I am finding a shock at 74, nearly 75. I have the SSD from the old computer in a USB connected caddy. FF is installed on both computers. How can I get the Bookmarks from old to new ?

I have been having so many problems with Mozilla ( Firefox ) this year mostly due to freezing and the browser hanging. I have tried different fixes including refreshing and removing ad blockers but the problems come back and seems to persist with some sites being worse than others: I really like the layout of Mozilla but I have started using Chrome and Edge and I DO NOT have these issues with those browsers, actually Chrome is super fast and responsive. My question is what is going on with this browser that suddenly it becomes inoperable. If this situation does not change i will have to relegate Mozilla to little or no use except for the VPN version which so far seems fine. Help !

I recently added an entry to my hosts file but Firefox seems to ignore it. I'm using v. 128.5.1esr, fully updated. I've tried a lot of the advice online and none of it seems to work. Here's what I've tried:

disabled "Enable DNS over HTTPS Cleared the DNS Cache changed "Use system proxy settings" to "No proxy". tried troubleshooting mode set network.trr.exclude-etc-hosts to true changed browser.fixup.dns_first_for_single_words to true changed network.dns.offline-local to false restarted FF, rebooted computer

It doesn't work in Chrome either, which makes me wonder if it's a Windows 10 issue. Any suggestions?

Firefox updated to 113.0 and moved tabs to top, above the address bar and the bookmark toolbar is now on the bottom under the address bar ... Is there an updated CSS file I can copy that will restore bookmarks toolbar above the address bar and the tabs below the address bar? So the order would be: Menu Bar, Bookmarks Toolbar, Address Bar, then Tabs Bar? This really is hard to work with. Thanks!

Hacking using certificates. My facebook account keeps getting logged into with every security feature on max. Security key, etc

My facebook account keeps getting double logins and ip4 logins rather than ip6 addresses. I think my ex-employer has installed a certificate into firefox on my laptop. I know absolutely nothing about certificates and have never knowingly installed one into my firefox web browser. But after looking I seem to have a certificate, is this certificate something that is allowing someone else access to what I view on my browser or allowing access to my cookies? Would users normally have their own firefox user certificate installed that they are unable to remove with a year on the date? I have added 2 screenshots. Hopefully someone can help Best regards David

Starting last night, every time I try to open a page/website in Firefox the page times out and an hourglass symbol and the words "New Tab" appear in the tab. In addition, clicking on one of my bookmarks doesn't work either and nothing happens in that case. Any ideas?

When playing videos in various websites (Jellyfin, Mastodon, Youtube) hypridle is receiving many 'ScreenSaver inhibit' messages that are never cleared.

A similar topic pointed to dom.screenwakelock.enabled being the culprit and disabling that fixed that users issue. But I've done that and the problem persists (It did remove one extra lock, but that was the one that was getting cleared.

Chromium sets and clears 1 lock correctly.

System: NixOS unstable DE: Hyprland

I'm using `exec-once = hypridle >> ~/log.txxt` to monitor the logs.

This behaviour is new in the last few months.

It is only present on one of my two systems that is very similar, they both use the same nixos config. The one with the issue is a i5-4590S based system with no external GPU, the one that doesn't have the issue is a Ryzen 7 5800X3D with RX5500. But that may be a red herring, I don't always update the both at the same time, so they may have different software versions.

Hello I do not know what I have done, or how I have managed to do this, but EVERY TIME I start up my Firefox it asks me for my Windows sign-in login details.

I have gone through as many pages within the Firefox settings will allow, and I am unable to find anything that indicates how to turn this option off.

All I am wanting to do is press the Firefox icon, and for Firefox to start up, WITHOUT Firefox asking me for my Windows security login details.

Anybody have an answer for this issue please? I'll GREATLY appreciate any fix recommended to me for this issue.

Best regards to all

I keep experiencing this problem with different websites: Safari works, Firefox doesn't.

Sample: I turned out the enhanced tracking protection, Privacy is set to Standard for

https://search.ccb.state.or.us/search/default.aspx

I entered valid license numbers (230880, 239798). Firefox displays NOTHING, no error message. Safari displays the relevant info.

Why is this and what should I do if I want to continue using Firefox? Thanks.
