Since updating Firefox from a previous version, the browser no longer displays any Unicode emoji characters. Where an emoji would normally be rendered (👁️), the browser instead displays empty space. Websites such as twitter and discord, which use their own artwork for emoji, are unaffected. This has negatively affected my browsing experience.

For illustrative purposes, I will add a series of emoji and include a screenshot of how they are displayed: (😀🙁😡💀). Other characters still display correctly: (β❖♞䷲⎈𐘢𓀺இ). My computer otherwise displays emoji correctly. The issue persists after disabling extensions, and has persisted between computer restarts.

I'm running Linux (NixOS) and Firefox version 148. I've tested on Chrome based browsers and they work fine. Tested on Firefox forks and they also don't display correctly. This is new since less than a week ago.

Thanks for any help with this.

I started using Claude in the side panel instead of a dedicated tab, but there is something noise about it: every time I click to open the side panel the chat starts from scratch. Getting a clean slate is nice, but it takes too much time loading. So I would like to not unload the content of the panel when I close it, just hide it, so when I click to open is already loaded. There is a way to do that?

How to recover backup from TBird 145.0-1 in new 140.7.1?

My old Arch Linux system with Thunderbird 145.0-1-x86_64 died. My RasPi and my new Pop-OS Meerkat both get 140.7.1esr (aarch64), and say they can't import my backups. I could see the RasPi ARM system getting a different Thunderbird, but the Meerkat is clearly an Intel processor. Why does it get the same version as the ARM based Pi? How can I recover my years of mail history? Both new installations say they are incompatible!

So I had logged into this Firefox account, but while I was, I forgot my password. I needed to enter the correct code from the email, but I lost the recovery key; I needed to enter in the 2FA code from my phone, then I could now change the password. When I logged in, boom, bookmarks gone. Passwords gone, and browsing history gone. I was waiting for it all to sync, but it had probably synced the deletion of everything possibly. I have no idea what happened, but I do not believe my account was compromised, because I did not get any emails about any new logins. If it is encrypted, how can I decrypt it so I can get my stuff back? Thanks.

I've recently set up Thunderbird on Linux Mint 22.2 and was unable to sign into Yahoo so I tried to sign in with Firefox instead and had the same errors :-

   Something went wrong
   We could not sign you in. Try again from a different device.

OR

   We couldn’t sign you in
   Change your browser settings to continue. Try the following:
   Turn off ad blockers
   Enable JavaScript

If you still can’t sign in, try a different device.

I can sign in with Chrome without any problems on the same workstation. Firefox version :- 147.0.4 (64-bit)

   Only Extension is Privacy Badger, but this is disabled for Yahoo.com

Thunderbird version :- 148.0 (64-bit)

   No extensions - as installed from Thunderbird download site

I'm not having any issues signing into any other websites / email accounts (Google, Hotmail).

I notice on the support website :- https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-yahoo it says "Starting with version 148, Thunderbird is switching to a more secure authorization protocol PKCE for Yahoo" BUT this isn't offered in the list of Authentication methods, has PKCE been delayed?

Hi

Just checking when ThunderMail and Pro will be available? I'm in need of email services for my small business and just don't want to subscribe to Google. I love Thunderbird, glad it survived so many transformations over decades and would like my subscription contribute to further development.

Can you, please provide me with at least estimated timeline?

Thank you S

Hi,

At some point in the last couple of weeks, I've started running into very frequent crashes running Firefox in the Linux container on my Chromebook. It previously worked well, but is now unusable. I'm now running Firefox version 147.0.3 on Chrome version 144.0.7559.167. This is after I did a clean reinstall of Firefox using flatpak, which didn't help. It seems like it often happens when my mouse hovers over a browser tab or icon (eg account, extensions, hamburger). Other quirky display behaviour, which mayor may not related, is that videos are often not working (eg Youtube, BBC), and various browser windows (eg when selecting Manage Bookmarks, or restarting in safe mode), open a small size-reduced window. Latest crash reports below -

bp-79d9b303-4402-455b-b49b-bbc1e0260209 bp-58276587-1315-4431-beba-4d9230260209 bp-0f499a5f-34e7-4a1d-8789-e8dc80260209 bp-a2ccec4c-087d-4e39-8af6-cbb740260209 bp-59770723-c637-4689-ae2f-a203f0260209
