Upgraded to the new version of firefox and lost all my passwords stored, can it be fixed?
Has given the green light to upgrade Firefox to the latest version, to realize that all stored passwords were no longer available.
Can I restore these passwords?
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.
- Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
- Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

- https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
You need a (backup) copy of the files logins.json and key3db to retrieve the passwords if you current copies are lost or corrupted.
- Tools > Options > Security: passwords: "saved passwords" > "show passwords".

Using the system restore can cause your installation of Firefox get corrupted because not all files are restored, so be careful to do a system restore.

I want to know how to make my tabs save when I close Firefox. I did what was suggested in the FAQ section, but all my tabs disappear whenever I close Firefox, you use the command "exit", or the "X" button That was the reason I never updated to the new version previously, but hoped that the problem had been addressed and updated, now I'm stuck with having to reopen each tab whenever I open Firefox. Please tell me there is a way to fix this. And I'm not fluent technospeak, so I need simple and basic instructions. Thank you. Mark

After the upgrade to the latest version 13.0.1
I can't open videos from youtube and other sites
I tried all the solutions, but none works
I would also consider the following. Recent crashes of some multimedia content (this includes the Youtube videos, some flash games and other applications), in collaboration with Firefox 13 are probably caused by a recent update of Flash 11.3 and/or Real Player browser plugin to malfunction.
To resolve this problem, follow the steps in these articles in the Knowledge Base:
Flash Plugin - maintain and troubleshoot
Adobe Flash plugin has crashed - avoid that it happen
11.3 Flash does not load video in Firefox

The new version of Firfox save my passwords and in some cases, my customer identification numbers, even if the passwords for this site "Remember" in the security option is not checked. I don't use a master password. There are no entries in the list "password saved" so I'm not able to remove supposedly saved passwords.
To determine if one of your extensions could make logging in, could test you the page Firefox Safe Mode? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.
You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:
- button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
- Help menu > restart with disabled modules
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still works
After stops in Firefox, a small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).
Any difference?

I updated today to v. 18 and while my menus pull down (for both the firefox a bookmark on the right and left) and links work, the... the image file, I guess, is very glitchy. I don't know what I'm clicking on because I vaguely know where things are on the lists.
I updated to Java (which has now disappeared from my macros list sheet), put firefox in safe mode then enabled an extension both to archive them and restarted my laptop and firefox a few times. While in safe mode, this problem does not occur.
Is it possible to fix this? I have screencaps I provide showing exactly what happens:
Hello Krisley, try turning off hardware accelerationand check again (in safe mode hardware, acceleration is disable).
Thank you

install the new version of firefox will save my old settings such as bookmarks and custom parameters
If I install the new version of firefox, it will save my custom settings and bookmarks?
It seems that you already have the latest version, Firefox 6. You can look to the right of your question or you can look at help > about Firefox.
To answer your question, update usually retains your personal data (bookmarks, passwords recorded, etc.). However, it is always a good idea to keep a backup of your personal data in case of hard drive failure or accidental formatting, preferable on another hard drive, a USB pin/USB/thumb/key or a CD/DVD, so that you don't miss them. I use an add-on named FEBE for me to do on a regular basis.

I get the following error message: gone the requested resource / is no longer available on this server and there is no forwarding address. Remove all references to this resource. Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument directive to manage demand. IE & Chrome work very well - and the previous version of Firefox (10.0.1) also worked. Looking for a fix or I need to give up Firefox. Thank you.
Found the problem - it's a HT Access file on the site itself. Deleted the file and 10.0.2 works very well.
