I'm trying to get my wife's firefox browsers synced - mainly her laptop and phone. I've got the phone signed in and working fine, but on her laptop there's no option to sign in and the sync option is missing from the settings menu?

It seems to be profile related as if I create a new blank profile the option is there - but if I copy all the data from her original profile the option goes missing again. Short of manually copying all her data over, I'm a bit stuck for what to do next - any ideas?

I've tried disabling any addons, restarting in troubleshooting mode etc. I've also looked at all the other solutions I can find from here (mostly related to group policies, there's nothing enabled on this) and everything seems as it should be.

I haven't tried reinstalling, but it seems like this is a profile issue rather than an installation issue?

It's a Win 11 laptop (upgraded from W10 if that makes a difference), FF version is 135.0 64 bit.

Thanks!

The appearance of search suggestions changes to a bloated and verbose style whenever the window is not maximized.

Observed since update 135 (from 134). Also no custom userChrome.css file is used.

How to keep appreance consistent / compact / normal (in all window-sizes)?

Preferably without a custom userCrhome.css file. I looked through all results on urlbar.quicksuggest in about:config but couldn't figure out any helpful setting.

Hallo, ich habe im Zusammenhang mit dem Übergang zu Windows 11 das Office 2024 Pro installiert. Dabei haben sich zwei Probleme gezeigt: 1. Für das versenden von Links mit Emails habe ich in den Einstellungen "Allgemein" unter "Anwendungen.mailto" das Programm OUTLOOK (classic) in beiden von mir genutzten lokalen Konten zugewiesen. In einem der beiden Konten wird im Gegensatz zu dieser Einstellung immer zu der Aufforderung zur Verbindungsaufnahme mit einem Microsoft-Konto verlangt. Zu einer Anzeige des Outlook-Sendefensters kommt es nicht. Welche Ursache kann es dafür geben und wie kann ich das Problem beheben? 2. Wie in dem beigefügten Bild dargestellt, erscheint bei der Nutzung der mailto-Funktion in beiden lokalen Konten diese Fehlermeldung, die bei normaler Nutzung von Outlook nicht auftritt. Meine Internet-Recherche zu dieser Fehlermeldung hat leider nichts greifbares ergeben. Könnt Ihr mir weiterhelfen? MfG, R. Ziegler.

I'm using Canvas, an educational portal. Every time I click on a PDF, FireFox automatically downloads the PDF to the downloads directory. When I'm not using Canvas, FireFox asks me where to save the PDF. This behavior is very annoying, as I have to perform extra steps to make sure that files are saved to the correct directory.

What setting do I need to check to force FireFox to require all downloads to ask where to be saved.

I've been experiencing some strange cursor flickering when I have a window on full screen. This only happens on Firefox. Any other app, including other browsers, don't exhibit this behavior.

I've searched around the internet a few times but I haven't been able to find a permanent solution.

I've included a small video that demonstrates the issue:

The 'light' font weight option in reader view doesn't seem to work for me. All the other options appear to, including swapping between bold and regular, but light just displays as regular regardless of font style. Main FF font settings are all default as well. Couldn't find any other posts with the same issue. Any ideas? Not a huge issue but it is annoying.
