Hello. I'm using Windows 11 on a desktop pc. I just downloaded Firefox from internet.
Questions: 1. I don't see "About". How can I tell what version of Firefox I have? 2. My browser bar across the top of the screen has buttons ">>" and "Other Bookmarks", with a different set of bookmarks in each. Why are there two? 3. The same toolbar has specific websites appearing on it, like McAfee Security, etc., some of which are not found in ">>" for "Other Bookmarks". How do I get rid of them without getting rid of the buttons for ">>" and "Other Bookmarks" (which I use)? 4. How do I import the bookmarks from an html file which is on my harddrive? 5. Is there any way I can a list of URLs I have visited? Where? If so, can I have it cleared whenever I exit Firefox? 6. Firefox used to have a white screen, now it has a yellowish screen like all my other Windows programs. Can I set it to white?

I have two computers that I use at different times and for different reasons. I want the open tabs on them to be the same. I am signed in on both computers but there is no syncing happening, even when I go into the menu under my account. It says it's syncing, but it's not. When I try to "Add another device" the option of adding another computer is not given. I do not want to use the profile backup because I want to MERGE the two sets of open tabs between the computers, not overwrite one.
I need to set dark theme.

I've used Thunderbird for years, and I LOVE it! A few days ago, my hard drive died. I had it replaced, and I've used my data backup to recover much. I did NOT have programs/apps backed up. I need VERY SPECIFIC steps to download and reinstall Thunderbird so that it uses my old profile. Should I first delete EVERYTHING having to do with Thunderbird and start anew? I did download it today and then went to the C:Users/Owner/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird folder. In that folder, I deleted the "new" profile file (I think!). Then I moved my backed up folder called Profiles into that directory. I tried to get Thunderbird to use that profile, but no luck. I'm reasonably intelligent (I've been told!), but I can't figure how to do this, and I truly need a step-by-step blueprint. Do I download Thunderbird first? If so, what do I then do to make it find the old profile. I'm running Windows 11 Home on a PC. Right now, I'm going for a long walk to clear my brain. In the interim, if one of you really smart, nice experts could give me instructions on how to do this, I'd be eternally grateful. I have numerous folders, and some really important old emails in that old profile. I also would like to be able to retrieve my address book and calendars ... which I ASSUME are part of the old profile. Thanks in advance for ANY assistance! Don't assume I know ANYTHING!!

Imagine this scenario:
How can I protect myself from this? I can close Firefox, I can log off my computer or I can use a screen-saver password.
I would prefer a solution within Firefox, something like a button (possibly under Application Menu → Passwords) to force the master password to be re-entered the next time it is required.

Everytime i highlight a word and right click it to "search google for" it switches to that new tab. This only started happening for the past two weeks. I already changed browser.search.context.loadInBackground to true in the config.
Also noticed this does not happen in private mode, but it does happen in troubleshoot mode.
Is there any way to change that? Thanks

While doing general computer cleanup I mistakenly deleted my most recent Firefox 'profile' from my laptop; this was about 2 and a half years old and contained a lot of data. Predictably, my Firefox data/bookmarks/etc on my laptop appears to be wiped completely. This shouldn't be a problem, as my iPhone has been synced to my laptop and has all the missing data saved, but it has been one hour of the Sync loading without any input from me and no sign of things being restored. I cannot find any of the listed options to sync manually. Am I just being impatient or am I doing something wrong? Additionally, I cannot access/make new bookmarks full stop.

The Context: I'm setting up a new Linux PC (Mint OS). I logged into Yahoo Mail using Firefox and clicked on the browser notification in the corner that said something like "Make Yahoo the default for mail links".
The Problem: When I click Mailto links in Firefox it takes me to a broken Yahoo Mail page. The page says "Your mail is temporarily unavailable" when that is not the case - Yahoo Mail works when I manually browse it.
Further details: I confirm that the "Applications" section of Firefox settings shows Yahoo mail as the default for mailto links. And specifically, the application details specify that the url used is: https://mail.yahoo.com/mrd/mail/any/compose?src=mailto&url=%s

Hello! On 2/7/25, upon turning on my computer and opening up Firefox, my ATT Yahoo mail will no longer load onto Firefox. It takes me to the login screen, then I am immediately logged out. I am able to fully access ATT Yahoo email on Google Chrome. Can you please help me get the functionality back on Firefox? It is my preferred Internet browser, but if I can't get my email on it, then I'd just stop using it and only open Chrome. Thank you for your kind assistance.
Is there a way to open a new tab on firefox with one click?
It's important because most screens are wide screens and the vertical is more important than the horizontal.
