Hello,

I'm encountering a highly frustrating issue with Firefox. Even though the "Open previous windows and tabs" option is checked in my settings, it is completely ignored on startup. Firefox systematically opens to a blank tab or home page.

Here are the key details and what I've already checked:

  • The Ctrl + Shift + T shortcut works perfectly: This proves Firefox is saving my session and history; it's only the automatic loading on startup that is being blocked.
  • In about:config, the preference browser.startup.page is correctly set to 3.
  • My privacy settings are standard: Firefox is set to "Remember history" and the "Clear history when Firefox closes" box is unchecked. I am not in permanent Private Browsing mode.
  • The Windows shortcut I use to launch Firefox is clean (no forced URL at the end of the target path).
  • I close Firefox cleanly via the menu, and I've verified that no ghost processes are stuck in the Task Manager after closing.

It makes no sense since the parameter is hardcoded but gets bypassed on launch. Is there a specific file (sessionstore or otherwise) that could be corrupted and blocking the automatic load without blocking the manual restore?

Thanks in advance for your help, I'm out of ideas!

Hopefully, this gets you a fast and highly technical answer. Hang in there!

Need Firefox popup's to close whenever the browser closes

I utilize a website called Twinspires for wagering on horses. It has a video popup (no sidebar tabs) that one can engage to watch the race outside of the Firefox browser. I quite like this feature. That said, I keep quite sidebar tabs saved as I use that feature to pin and then revisit websites that I want to spend more time on. Problem: If the browser closes on its own or other issue, it doesn't close the video popup. So when I restart the browser it "thinks" that video popup, with no saved sidebar tabs, was the last browser open so I lose all my saved sidebar tabs. If everything Firefox would close when the browser does, one could restore all tabs under history like one would normally do. Is there a setting so everything Firefox that is open closes when the browser does? Thank you.

When an email that is part of a thread is selected the delete button changes places with archive so I end up with a bunch of archives I don't want because I get a lot of mail and delete is my favorite key to spam.

Is there a way of changing this placement behavior or do I need to hack the source and if I do need to go hacking can someone point me in the direction of the file with this evil thing.

At some point recently, Thunderbird started ignoring the page range I specify in the print dialog box. I regularly have documents that are 4-5 pages, however I only need the first page printed. So in the print dialog, I set it to double sided printing, and to print only pages 1-2. In the past, it would only print a single (double sided) page...recently, it started printing all of the pages, and ignoring the setting I provided. Any help would be appreciated!

I exported my settings from desktop thunderbird when setting up Thunderbird Android 20 but discovered it was automatically marking messages as read. That makes it difficult to have a peek at messages when I'm out (in case there's something urgent) but still see those messages as unread when I return to the desktop.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1504592 claims to have found the option to do that, but it's an old message that has been archived without ever saying where that option was found. I've tried settings search as well as a visual search of all settings without seeing a relevant option.

Does that option actually exist? Or do I have to go back to K9 (which, at least in v19, had that option)?

When you resize the window vertically, the message list resizes and the preview stays fixed, how to keep the list constant height ?

Hi,

I use AltSnap and its snap feature a lot because I have multiple 40" TVs as monitors.

That means I often deal with thunderbird floating windows rather than maximized, and I often resize it.

And I notice that my message list is always getting too small !

I realized this is because when you resize the thunderbird window vertically, the preview pane stays a constant size, but it is the message list that resizes.

Over time the message list gets squished out and not even one message is visible.

I think if the message list remained of a constant size during vertical resize and it was the preview pane that got resized along with the window, it would prevent that and the message list would always be, the size that you last set it.

I can change the width of folder pane in the main folder tab, but not in subsequent folder tabs

Hello,

I *can* resize the folder pane in the first/main folder tab, but, I *can not* resize the folder pane in subsequent folder tabs I create using "open in new tab". 

This occurs using any layout (Classic, wide, vertical view). In the first tab I get the double-headed arrow to resize the folder pane, but in subsequent folder tabs I don't get it.

When I open a  folder in a new tab, the folder pane is the same width as the parent tab, but, I can't adjust it.

I'm using Thunderbird 152.0.1, but, this has been going on for a long time from what I can remember.

I've tried a number of suggested things to fix this: - Deleted xulstore.json - Cleared Startup Cache. - restarted in Troubleshoot mode (and I get the same issue there). - Switched layout views - Toggled folder modes - Adjusted interface density. - Toggled hardware acceleration. - Deleted the UI Cache Folder (shader-cache)

Nothing worked.

Please help me with this!

Thank you, Jim
