Regarding the current state of Firefox and WebUSB, I have four thoughts:

1. Yes, Mozilla's concerns regarding the security risks are valid, but not insurmountable.
2. In my experience, this is the single W3C noncompliance that impedes my use of Firefox.
3. In my experience, an increasing number of companies/organizations are leveraging WebUSB, from core-functionality of end-user hardware to enterprise-level troubleshooting, configuration, and support.
4. If Mozilla permits the use of unsigned plugins for its Firefox Developer Edition because of the reasonable expectation that its users understand the risks, it stands to reason that the same could be said for WebUSB.

(There's no need to reply, really - this is only being publicly posted because there doesn't seem to be a way to do otherwise - I just wanted to go through the exercise of casting this message-in-a-bottle into the sea.)

Aiming to reduce memory used by my email. I have both Sent and Sent Mail folders. My preference would be to eliminate the duplication that takes place with the two. I understand that I can not unsubscribe from Sent Mail. Could Sent content be reduced to the items that are NOT in Sent Mail? Alternatives? My Sent folder contains more older files which I would like to retain but do not want to "try" something that MIGHT eliminate them. I am on a Mac23 with Latest Sonoma. Thunderbird on Gmail.

Hi,

I cannot use 'Windows Snipping Tool' to screen-capture some information on 'Protected Content' on Mozilla Firefox. Is there a reason for this? Thank you.

NO flltering system is perfect, so a real live human bean needs to check what Gmail and/or Thunderbird has classified as Spam and retrieve the few valid messages. But unless Thunderbird displays NUMBER of messages waiting there, I'm not reminded to check. Is there some parameter I need to set to make it do that?

Thanks for help.

I realize that if a file is served with mime type Content-Type: application/pgp-encrypted, then its extension is changed by Firefox on Android to ".pgp". Apparently, Firefox for Android likes to modify extensions based on mime type.

Can this behavior be disabled?

For years, I've been looking for a way to disable the space bar from acting as a page down button, including trying out scripts to solve it, but please let users disable that shortcut in the about:config page.

It is difficult for me, since I see that ability to change what the backspace does is available, but there's no option for the space bar. The space bar is something that I often accidentally hit, and it would be of immense relief to me to no longer have that issue of it paging down what I reading. This is my request, and there are others who also feel similarly.

When I right click a tab and select Bookmark Tab, the "Location" is preselected from one of my existing bookmark folders/locations. I thought it might adapt to the most recent or most often selected folder; however, it seems to present the same "default" location every time I bookmark a tab - a folder I have not barely used in months. I realize I can select another folder, but it is annoying for it to select the LEAST used and my personal least favorite folder EVERY TIME, for MONTHS.

1) Is there a way to select which folder it preloads to save bookmarks to? 2) Why is it selecting THAT folder? 3) If there is no way to set a folder, is there a way to reset it or something? ANY other folder to default to would be less annoying. I do not understand why it seems "stuck" on this folder and will not preload ANY other folder from the dozens of folders.

Thanks in advance for any help!

This issue is happening with every newly installed add-on, but not with add-ons installed on or before Aug 3, 2024. The add-ons are installed via addons.mozilla.org. To rule out the possibility that it's happening only with specific add-ons, I also installed one of the random recommendations on that page, Augmented Steam which has 54,248 users, and it happens with that one as well.

I'll click Enable, but the prompt appears every time I restart Firefox.

What I've tried (with a restart after each attempt):

• Clear the startup cache
• Delete extensions.json
• Delete compatibility.ini
• Via about:config deleted extensions.databaseSchema and extensions.getAddons.databaseSchema
• Excluded Add-ons from syncing

I've noticed the following in extensions.json for each of the recent add-ons after restart:

• syncGUID changes to presumably random new value
• active changes from true to false
• userDisabled changes from false to true
• seen changes from true to false

Hello. I am using Win11 and have been a Mozilla Thunderbird user for many years. Today I cannot open Thunderbird due to a "side-by-side" error. See image attached. I am not very computer savvy and therefor find some of the suggested solutions on the web rather difficult to understand and apply. I would appreciate any help you can be. Thanks, Murray Kerr, Auckland, NZ.

I run the latest version of Firefox.

Lately it refuses to open on first attempt - be it from a start menu link or double-clicking the shortcut on my desktop or trying to open a html file directly.

It's annoying and i'd like to fix it.

I've done all the usual stuff like clearing the cache.

tia.

I'm using Firefox 115.15.0 ESR with a MAC M2

When I visit jsonviewer.stack.hu and paste data into the viewer I get the following error:

TypeError: netscape.security.PrivilegeManager is undefined

Please type: "about:config" in your address bar. Then filter by "signed". Change the value of "signed.applets.codebase_principal_support" to true. You should then be able to use this feature.

As config is sensitive area of the settings can you guide through this problem with a fix? Thanks bcoleman@sympatico.ca

I need to move about 50-100 emails from one profile to another.

I am using the current Thunderbird and using POP3 on a PC running Windows 10.

I lost thousands of emails (not sure why) but after a few days was able to set up the profile from a backup to recover them.

Now I need to get the emails that came in and were sent during the week it took me to set up the backup profile.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I just swapped to a new PC and logged into my Firefox account but it keeps disconnecting me and says account is disconnected and I need to re login to connect. I re login and the issue continues again and again. Any ideas?

Starting maybe 2 months ago, when making online purchases, I could not enter a credit card number into the box to make a payment. (Name, address, etc is okay.) The cursor would not "register," & the box would be greyed out. I'm running Windows 11 Pro, Firefox 129.0.2. It's not my antivirus, because I can go to Microsoft's browser (ugh), & make my purchases. Ideas? Thanks!

Would you like to explain to me why the Dashlane Extension will either not load or will load after several minutes? Rather a catch 22 isn't it. You want my password to raise this issue; but, you will not give me access to my password vault. It used to work just fine. What did you change?

Also telling that Mozilla holds the keys to the realm but have zero interest in providing direct support.
