Firefox 157: Nova interface, how do I revert back to the previous gui?

Regarding FF v157:

- Mozilla have changed the Graphical user interface of Firefox without asking for consent or providing a clear way to revert back to the old interface, yet again. - They have made changes to the settings, so pre-installed search engines can only be toggled off and NOT removed... - There are a bunch of themes now pre-installed that can't be removed.

I think pushing a change without over way to revert, is why I a lot of people don't donate to the Mozilla foundation

When is Firefox going to add a toolbar shortcut to launch a privacy mode tab?

Every time I need to launch privacy mode in the Android app, I can't find the button or a link. I don't use it that often, but it's important when I do need it. Each time I need it I spend a lot of wasted time looking for it. Ultimately I have to ask Google Gemini how to do it. 1) I don't want to keep asking AI how to do it. It ought to be easier to find. 2) I don't want a shortcut on my Android desktop with its limited, valuable real estate.

After thinking about it, it occurs to me that adding the ability to add a privacy mode shortcut to the toolbar might be simple for the developers and it would solve my problem. It's too bad I can't add more than one shortcut to the toolbar in Settings, but a privacy mode shortcut is the one I'd select... if only one were available. (sigh)

I restarted my computer, and when FF loaded all the tabs across the top where weirdly blank. I could see that there were tabs but no info. I restarted FF and then there were no tabs. Then I looked to history to restore previous session, and nothing. I've gone through all the various methods I can find about restoring sessions, and there are no sessions. See attached image. Session restore can not find a previous session. When looking for backup files, and using session scrounger https://www.jeffersonscher.com/ffu/scrounger.html I get a few tabs but nothing from my my most recent browsing. I had 28 tabs open, some in groups, and all of it is gone. I've had issues with losing tabs before but always got it back with the session scrounger, and now I can't find anything. What is going on?

This issue has existed for a while now. I keep receiving this message on my screen when I send an email from StartMail ( see attached )

This issue does not occur with other providers when using the same client to send emails.

It happens on different computers that has a newly installed operating system and a fresh installation of Thunderbird. The issue is only with the sent folder and only for this email account.


I taken multiple steps to correct this.


Tried installing Thunderbird on a fresh operating system installation and the issues persit

Account Settings -> Copies & Folders. I have tried both Sent and Other.

IMAP is properly configured to imap.startmail.com port 993. This should not matter because the issue is only to the sent folder.

Sent folder set to Syncronized

Sent messages not going into a different folder by mistakes because of any filter.

Properties Repair Folder done

Inside the profile folder under IMAP imap.startmail.com deleted Sent.msf, Sent messages, Sent messages.msf

Click on get messages


.......If I sent an email from the startMail web interface then the email is saved to the Sent Messages but the counter does not show there is a new email

Again the issue only affects mt Startmail account sent folder. All the other accounts do not have issues.

There is a messages that keep re appearing on my screen. Is this helpful ?

The current command did not succeed. The mail server for account ........@startmail.com responded: [TRYCREATE] Mailbox doesn't exist: Sent (0.001 + 0.000 secs ).

What gives I have both a sent and a sent messages folder but no messages are saved and if I am reading this right is telling me that the folder I have does not exist ?

Also I am using Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon

A few hours after my initial post I tried another client. Evolution client was configured and worked out of the box. There was no issues with emails being placed in the sent folder.

Is Thunderbird broken ?

I appreciate any help to correct this please. Thanks

Hi there.

I'm in Alberta, where we have recently changed timezones. Note that the CLOCK has not changed yet, as we are still before the date in November when we would "fall back". We were UTC-6 summer and UTC-7 winter. Windows called this "Mountain Time (USA and Canada), but now the "Mountain Time (Alberta)" timezone is in Windows after the 2026-09 Preview Update (KB5124010) (26300.9550).

When connecting to Shaw.ca's IMAP servers, the certificates that were valid prior to the Windows update are now reported as invalid. This has been confirmed across two separate PCs with different email accounts. The data for the certificate LOOKS valid (see screenshot) and is the same before and after the timezone change.

The failure occurred on the latest ESR release of Thunderbird, as well as 156.0 and 157.0 non-ESR.

Thanks :)

I have been having random crashes Firefox Snap on Kubuntu 24.04 (and now 26.04). Sometimes Firefox will run stably for over an hour, sometimes it will crash in less then a minute from (re-)launch. I have tried the usual troubleshooting steps of 'run in troubleshoot mode', 'refresh', disable plugins, but the crashing seems to happen even when running in troubleshoot mode. I also have not been able to figure out any kind of event or user-action that triggers the crash; it might happen while browsing, it might happen while I am not even at my computer. At first I thought 'the Devs will handle this', but it has been some 6 months so I think my case is not very common/pressing to the community. I'd like to take a more proactive approach in solving the problem. I am still a novice at software fixing, so I might have skipped or missed a very basic step in the '10 things to try to fix Firefox'.
