Why is there not an option to say "no" to Firefox automatically loading when you restart your computer? There is only "yes" or "not now". I am not interested to my internet browser loading and opening once I have restarted my computer. I use my computer for much more than browsing on the internet. I am tired of always having to click the "not now" option to only have it show up the next day or two days later, where I then have to click, yet again, the "not now" option. I even went into Firefox settings and have not found an option to "op out" of this particular feature. Can you please add a "no" option to automatically opening upon restart.

HOW do I program FF to REMEMBER the setting, box unchecked next to "Open previous windows and tabs"

i used to use CCLeaner browser, but I have changed my default browser to Chrome. However, when I click on a link in an email in Thunderbird, it still sends me to CCleaner browser. I can "copy link address" and paste it into Chrome, but it would be more convenient for me to be able to click on the link and go to Chrome directly. Where in Thunderbird can I change this?

I would like to have a text label on or in place of the Get Messages icon in the tree header.

I found this suggested procedure: 1. Right-click on Toolbar 2. Select "Customize" 3. Select desired choice in "Button Style" 4. Select "Get Messages" 5. Click on Save

Nothing happens!

I asked this in alt.comp/software.thunderbird and received several conflicting replies, none of which resolved the issue.

I want to turn off ai features. I don't want to heat up the planet or torture rural people with data centers by using AI just to look stuff up, especially because ai is stupid, as in dumb, so it's a big waste of energy and water and space to use with search engines anyway. I want to be able to set up my firefox browser so it never uses ai for anything. Never! How can i do that? Idont want to have to disable it everything i search. I want it off off off off.

Can I format text (bold, italic, underlined) in Thunderbird?

When composing emails in Thunderbird for Android, I can't find any options to format text.

I can't select a typeface (even the most basic html tags for serif/sans-serif/monospace aren't available) or even make text bold, italic or underlined.

This makes it very hard to create emphasis where necessary, and it feels like ancient emails from before HTML formatting.

Is there something I am missing, or does this depend on the phone?

NB: I can do this with my messaging apps and the Gmail app, which I prefer not to use.

If it is not necessary, please tell me how to disable,deactivate, or remove it. This message only appears in firefox. I don't know where it came from and therefore I do not trust it being there.

I am using Firefox as a multi-tab courseware viewer but need to block the user bringing up the Library page as then the user can see the courseware URL's - I am running it on AWS AppStream and can lock most features down., but this one eludes me - there seems to be no policy to block it.
