I-Firefox Community Forum

Background: I've recently (few weeks ago) changed my email address for my firefox account. The original address became a secondary address. Then i deleted the secondary (old address). So i was left with only 1 primary address. Now to the problem - today ive done a fresh windows install and i wanted to recover all my settings and tabs from my synced account. Ive logged in to my mozilla account using the new primary email (as for the old email when i try to log in it says i need to use primary email, so it should be still connected i think, but i can't use it to log in). Now after i logged in (using my new primary email) all my stuff was gone, as if it was a new firefox account. No old device connected, nothing. Ive literally checked my firefox acc today morning (and synced!!) to make sure everything's good and now theres nothing. I still have access to my old email if it helps, nothing bad happened there but i don't know if that helps.

Just installed 18.5.0.0 on Windows. Cannot find a horizontal menu that I have used before. It has many items including "History " which provides a drop down menu that includes "Clear history". Where is this thing? It's hard to locate when you don't know the name of a particular element.

With the last couple of updates to Firefox (now running v133) on Windows 10 I noticed that there is a new search bar that overwrites the tabs on top of the Firefox window when I click into the URL bar, which is set up to be used for search. This began to happen recently but I'd like to know how to configure Firefox to do search like it used to, in the URL bar not a new search bar, and disable this new search bar that disorients me when it pops up and disappears.

A while back you had an update that it changed everything that I was seeing on the computer. Example: When I opened Firefox all I could see were "Firef" rather than Foxfire in HUGE letters. I had to change the Zoom to even try to figure out what was going on. You can understand why I have not done an update since then. My question is why should I trust Mozilla Firefox enough to ever upgrade again? What will this one do to change my laptop? BTW this is an HP from only 2022.

Why does firefox bookmarks not always load until you do refresh? I go into one of my bookmark folders, click on a bookmark and normally that page will open automatically, but some bookmarks require me to click Refresh to get the selected bookmark to actually load. Very strange behavior. And I checked that the DNS over HTTPS thingy was disabled. Enabled or disabled -- does not matter, results are the same. Bookmarks I have issues with link to various pages on myfreecams.com (adult site) so maybe that is part of the issue. Hmmmm. But I like those girls. 😍 Mmm Mm, Delicious. Oh!!, be careful!! Never browse without "umatrix" firewall extention installed on your Browser to guard against evil scripts and other bad things.

I just tried to import my bookmarks from an HTML file. In the Bookmarks => Manage bookmarks => Import and backup => Import Bookmarks from HTML, after selecting the HTML file and then clicking "Close", nothing happens.

If I click on Bookmarks again, and look under import bookmarks, nothing shows up.

How do I get my book,arks to import from the HTML file, then have the bookmark menu appear as a drop down menu on my Firefox tool bar?

Not at all sure what topic category applies.

For some time, I have been trying to find my Bookmarks Menu without having any luck even finding its name. I knew it was there as I had seen it inadvertently once or twice, but was as far as I got. Now that I have at last found the name and even seen it in the bookmarks area, where I was able to rearrange the folders in alphabetic order.

Here is a link telling how to put its icon on the bar, which I cannot do as it is not there. I have scanned the list of installable icons to no avail. What can I do to find the miscreant icon?

I first noticed this issue on "Zen Browser" which is based on firefox source code, but some time after i re-installed Firefox and noticed the issue was on Firefox, like, literally the same lag that happened on Zen was happening on Firefox. I tried deleting the .mozilla(.zen for Zen) and still nothing. i did noticed some things:

- When i start Firefox on safe mode, the lag doesn't happen
- On my brother user on the PC, the lag simply didn't happen
- When the lag is happening, the disk reading goes REALLY high: 

I'll put a screenshot of the disk reading usage, even if it's on Zen executable, remember that the same issue is also happening on Firefox (and was where i noticed the disk usage thing)
