hello! recently I found my childhood 3ds charger and it turns out it still works and still has all of my games in it. however I've encountered some issues:

First is that the clock resets when I change it, but if I just leave it as is (01/01/2011), it will work "normally". I've read a lot of people say this has to do with the battery, but as of right now I dont have the right screwdriver to open the lid. it doesn't seem to have ballooned from the outside, though (I'll still include pics anyway). Also I'm not sure what I could do to fix it if it's something to do with the connectors (?) as I'm not a very handy person.

Second is that it had suddenly turned off with a pop 2 times in the last 3 days. It seems that when I have it plugged to the charger (even if the battery is full) this doesn't happen, but I'm honestly not so sure.

Besides these problems, everything is apparently working very well. Also, for the record, nintendo doesn't offer support of any type of replacement/repair service in my country, so if I have to resort to that, it'll have to be some sort of third-party or unofficial repair service (if I even find one where I live). Is my 3ds safe to homebrew? Mind you, I've never done anything of the sort so please forgive my lack of knowledge on the subject

earlier today the power went out and when my computer turned back on after a blue screen, my Firefox seemingly reset itself (everything else on my computer seems to be fine for now). I logged into my Firefox account and got my extenrsions and bookmarks back, but the other profile I used for work was apparently nuked. This wouldn't be too much of a problem because I could just add the bookmarks and log ins back, but it seems that I also can no longer switch profiles without having to log off and log in again with another account, when usually I would just click my profiles icon on the upper right corner and switch it there. the option to do that when launching Firefox also disappeared.

I looked up solutions online and all of them tell me to look for a folder called Old Firefox Data or look for old profiles on AppData. I can't find the former and none of the profiles files both in Local and Roaming arent the ones I'm looking for.

Is there any way I can still recover my profile, and if not, how can I go back to switching them the way I used to? It seems the only way to do so is to go to about:profiles which is very inconvenient and I still have to log in every time. I have no idea how this happened.

EDIT: there is also no recent crash report or update logs that could be responsible for this

Childhood 3DS working but with some issues: safe to homebrew?

Firefox seemingly reset on its own, can't restore my profiles
