How to log into Mozilla account?
c# - Programmatically set the default homepage for Mozilla Firefox? - Stack Overflow
Firefox.com no longer allows login
Login to Reddit with Firefox and saved Password
Hello Redditors,
So I installed Waterfox today and I like the browser so far. The only issue I currently have is the problem with sync. To sync I have to log into my account but instead of logging me in or giving me the option to, it forces me to create a new account. Can I resolve it somehow or did I overlook something?
Thank you for answers. Have a nice day!
What you will need to do is programmatically edit the prefs.js file in the user profile for Firefox.
It can be found in the directory C:\Users\ [USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ [Some Subfolder]
You will need to add or edit the line that looks like: user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "www.google.com");
I know question was answered but maybe next coders can be need a source.
string firefox = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData), "Mozilla\\Firefox\\Profiles");
if (Directory.Exists(firefox))
{
FileInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(firefox).GetDirectories()[0].GetFiles("prefs.js")[0];
StreamReader sr = di.OpenText();
RichTextBox rb = new RichTextBox();
rb.Text = sr.ReadToEnd();
sr.Close();
string[] s = rb.Lines;
for (int i = 0; i < rb.Lines.Length; i++)
{
if (rb.Lines[i].StartsWith("user_pref(\"browser.startup.homepage\""))
{
s[i] = "user_pref(\"browser.startup.homepage\", \"http:\\\\www.somesite.com\");";
break;
}
}
File.Delete(di.FullName);
File.WriteAllLines(di.FullName, s);
}
This will change firefox homepage. I hope I can helped someone
It seems users are no longer allowed to log in to firefox.com with just the account password. You MUST now "link" your firefox account to a google- or apple account to be allowed to sign in.
I have a user account, but it is not linked to my google account. When I click "log in" on firefox.com, I get far enough that I can enter my username. But when I click next to enter my password, there is simply no password box. The only option available is to link my google account, and allow firefox.com unlimited access to that account's data.
With firefox's updated data policy being what it is, that seems risky.
Does anyone know if there is some workaround, to let users log in to firefox.com without "linking" the google account or apple ID?
