Due to disk space constraints, I wanted to download only the message headers, not the content. I configured the account, disabled synchronization, and Thunderbird downloaded all the messages with the content. What did I do wrong? The account was configured via IMAP.

I believe when I wanted to update to a newer Firefox version, I chose the one right before the change to tab history where it said something about not saving as many presumably due to websites that can open several pages within a tab in a second or 2.

I don't know if this is the cause, but now whenever I open several YouTube pages it can fail to save one of them to web history. I don't know if it's because some pages open a &pp= page first and then when it switches to a clean video ID URL Firefox doesn't log all of them because of that tab history change?

Either way I'd also like to revert that tab history change if it's not the cause, is there already an about:config setting? Or is this just like the tags-in-history-window change and it will never be re-introduced..

I'd probably need to update Firefox within a few years anyway when some new thing unsupported on older Firefox is introduced, so if I revert to v131 that works better I may be in the same position a few years later. Idk if I can revert with the current profile data anyway.

Firefox restores a window session from before the last time I closed the browser every time I start the browser.

At one point after reinstalling firefox I had two windows open with tabs in each. I closed the one window first with a couple worthless tabs in it before using the other tab that I'd used to continue browsing and continuing my various tab groups. Ever since then, EVERY TIME I launch firefox it launches that other window with its tabs first, although allows me to "restore previous session" overwriting all but the base tab. How the hell do I get it to fucking stop doing this? I just want the last window I closed to be the "previous session" but every single damn time it launches this unwanted window and tabs as the default! I've tried countless times to close the entire browser with the window I want but it still reverts to the previous window!

In the past couple of weeks I've noticed this happening a lot; particularly in YouTube. Menus don't show items (regardless of appearance color mode) until I refresh the pages, or thumbnail images fail to load. Sometimes the images will load after waiting for several minutes. Drop down menus won't sure their items unless I refresh the page.

I tried Microsoft Edge and the problem doesn't exist there. I prefer Firefox, but don't like these annoying glitches.

I've also noticed, again on YouTube, if I'm watching a Playlist, the comments under the video are not shown IF I have the playlist open on the side, but if I close the playlist or change the video mode to Cinema Mode, the comments suddenly reappear.

Again, this issue doesn't occur if I use the Edge browser.

I've ruled out my BitDefender Internet Security App and its VPN.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I have Mozilla VPN installed on my computer, but not in Firefox. Recently, whenever I turn the VPN on or off, the tab I have open in Firefox reloads. This usually doesn't matter, but sometimes it's really annoying, like when I'm really deep in an infinite scroll website. I want to turn it off, but I tried turning accessibility.blockautorefresh on in about:config, and it still does it. I don't want to blindly mess with settings when I don't know what they do. Does anyone know if there's a setting/group of settings I can use to stop Firefox from reloading on network change?

No matter what I do, sometimes, Firefox on my phone won't sync and it's driving me crazy to be honest. I don't know why it happens, it has no fixed schedule and it seems to go away on it's own in a seemingly random amount of time. In this instance, as I'm writing this I've been trying to sync with my PC for over an hour and it simply refuses to sync. I've tried restarting, force stoping , clearing cache.. Nothing. In the past I even tried reinstalling and for it to sync it took a while. I'm lost with this bug and it's been happening for a while now, I was hoping for a fix but so far it seems it hasn't come.

Please let me know if additional information is needed.

I have horizontal tabs in Firefox 152.0.4 on a Macbook with Tahoe 26.5.1. My tabs have suddenly reversed order, so that the most recent ones are at the left and the older ones towards the right. Strangely, if I open a new tab it appears to the right of the current tab. I tried closing Firefox and reopening, but it did not change anything. Is there a way to restore usual order of tabs so that the newer ones are at the right?

When doing a search in the address bar (on firefox android), and then going back to the search result, one cannot modify easily the entered text.

Example: - In address bar (independent of the engine search) enter these keywords: "firefox search bar" - In the result list, click on any link. - Then go back to modify your search, you get:

https://www.ecosia.org/search?method=index&q=firefox%20search%20bar&p=1

Whish is a painful to change or just add an extra keyword!

This morning I was signed out of my VPN and it didn't even open when I logged into my PC. I was getting targeted ads when I opened my browser so was confused. Opened the VPN, was logged out and search around the internet, unprotected, to try and gain access again.

Now, what is the point in a VPN if I have to rummage around the internet all the time first in order to hide my presence. Why? was I automatically logged out? Why were the settings on my computer changed such that the VPN was no longer enabled as a start-up app? How often will I be logged out of my account in the future? Why does Mozilla of all companies still think I am logging in from a different location every time when I access my account even without the use of their VPN?

I'll be able to get some peace of mind if these questions are answered and I'll be able to change my provider if not.

Thanks, Dan
