I am running Mozilla Firefox on Windows 11. I am using Rogers Yahoo Mail. Unfortunately the mail program has "Spell Check". It can best be described as intrusive. Every letter I type in my mail the spell check keeps popping up and bothering/interfering me to the point where it is very annoying and frustrating. I need to get rid of it permanently. I saw some suggestions where I could go to 'settings' and uncheck the box that says 'check your spelling as you type', it was unchecked and the spell check keeps popping up non stop! PLEASE show me how I can stop this aggravating feature. Thanks, Larry

Due to the current transition from Skype to Teams Free, I was wondering about what reported here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/teams-client-system-requirements In the "New Teams for web" section I can read that the latest three versions of Firefox will be supported for Windows, macOS and Linux. In the "New Teams on Linux" section I can read that "Linux users have access to New Teams for Web and new Teams as a progressive web app (PWA)"

So my question: Will I be able to use the new Microsoft Teams for Web Free from the latest Firefox on Linux Mint 21.1?

Thank you

Best Regards

Hello! Yesterday (03/16/2025) I received a message that the ChatZilla add-on to Firefox will be disabled on the next restart of FireFox. The message indicates that the extension could not be "verified".

I am using a VERY old computer for ChatZilla only: Windows XP Firefox 48.0.2 ChatZilla 0.9.92

I don't care about the age and inability to update any of the software, but I need to continue to use ChatZilla on this platform.

I have used ChatZilla on this machine for a very long time and do need to continue. Is there any way that I can make this work without having ChatZilla automatically disabled at the next restart of Firefox?

I always shut down my PC (Windows 11) while Firefox is open, and it reopens automatically when I turn it back on. However, the settings and the layout are reset.

I tried closing the browser normally via the Close button, but the issue persists.

I tried killing the process via Task Manager, but the issue persists.

I'm not opted into Firefox Studies.

I use quite a few extensions and also Container Tabs. I tried disabling all extensions, but the issue persists.

I just can't disable Container Tabs to test because I would lose too many tabs. Could Container Tabs be the issue?

why is my email being sent to IBM Trusteer Support? I am using Thunderbird V128.8.0esr (32-bit) and Windows 10 Edition Windows 10 Home Version 22H2 Installed on ‎2020-‎06-‎10 OS build 19045.5487 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19061.1000.0 When I return mail to person, it also goes to IBM Trusteer Support <user.support@trusteer.ibm.com>. Can you tell me why?

My work uses a 3rd party URL "defense" program, so every link that comes to me via e-mail is sent to that "defense" 3rd party, instead of directly.

The Thunderbird "link mistmatch" then activates *every time* I have links at work.

Looking online there *used* to be:

 mail.phishing.detection.mismatched_hosts

but it does not work any more.

None of the "phishing" settings prevent the link mismatch from appearing. I could not find any other "mismatch" settings.

How can I avoid this horrible annoyance???

Videos on Bluesky have never appeared for me, instead they all say "Your browser does not support the video format. Please try a different browser." This seems to happen regardless of the video source.

Firefox says versions earlier than 115.13 will be impacted by the certificate expiration. I've updated to 115.21 My add-ons are still disabled. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/root-certificate-expiration

It seems many don't know or haven't noticed but merely running an esr branch (rather than a developer edition) will also give you the option to enable add-ons with expired certifications via about:config.

Anyway, the "legit" way isn't working.

When I click on an email in the left-hand list column it now opens the email in an irritating pop-up window. Just started doing this annoying this this past week. I DON'T want it to open the email up again--just want to read it in the right hand display screen. How can I stop this extremenly annoying thing from happening. Never did it before. Don't need it. Extra work. Just want to see the list on left, message on right and NOT pop up into new separate window. Can you tell me how to get rid of this unwanted 'feature?'

I am automatically filtering messages using the message filter feature.

I cannot open emails that have been sorted into a specific folder. The email list is displayed in the tree on the left, but when I click on the relevant email, the message pane on the right remains completely blank. Although the email has been received, I cannot read its contents at all.

Even if I double-click the email in the list to open it in a new tab, the contents are still not visible.

Emails sorted into other folders display without any issues. I tried right-clicking the affected folder → Properties → Repair Folder, but the issue remains.

Is there a way to fix this?

I had a Windows update problem that forced me into a clean install yesterday. When I reinstalled Firefox, I forgot to have it put an icon for private browsing on the taskbar during the setup. Is there a way to do this without uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox? I can't find the option on the app menu.

I've closed an account on yahoo, but still have emails on my pc. How to avoid the credentials window very single time i open thunderbird, or any of the hundreds or maybe thousands emails? "Check for new messages at startup/every X minutes" are both off. Any clues?

I could swear when I went from one computer to another computer and signed into firefox that it showed me all my bookmarks, addons and extensions.

I'm on another new computer many years later and when I signed into my account I don't see my bookmarks, extensions and addons anymore.

Anything change since many years ago?
