Help!

I really like the Firefox browser and use it daily for my daily reports. But while it shows on the taskbar on the bottom of my screen, I cannot get Firefox onto my home screen. Could someone please help me fix it!

Big thanks in advance! Mike Dragonetti

I am a new TB user - coming over from Postbox.

The feature I miss the most is the way Postbox let me use "Topics". Essentially these are tags that are colour coded and I could set up a different topic/tag for each project I am working on. Then emails that relate to those tagged projects show up with their font in the card view in the colour of the topic/tag. I can also use topics to search for emails within a project.

I can almost replicate the effect in TB using tags, but that only generates a small coloured icon in the bottom right corner of the email in card view.

I have set up a userChrome.css file, but I'm not sure how to write the css code to make the font only in the card view also change to the tag colour? Is there anyone here who could help me? Or is there somewhere I can learn css for TB?

I was prompted to compact my inbox, and immediately lost all of my carefully curated tabbed emails. I rely on these to remind me of my work progress and obligations. Why do they drop off when I compact?

I began getting the above message immediately after updating to the latest Firefox version. Whether opening a new tab, or refreshing an existing one, nothing but the crash message shows up.

Firefox on my PC updated to recent Dec. 2024 version 133.0.3 However now most websites (even at firefox download page) return error msg.: PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR ... Advice?

Having trouble setting up to retrieve mail from gmail.com. On attempts to setup auto or manual I get "400- Error Code - the server cannot process the request. It should not be retried. This is all we know. " I went to google for the port settings. What is wrong?

Hello, I'm having some problems with updating firefox. It started a few months ago that I got a Pop-up every time I started Firefox about needing to update it. But when I click on the prompt to update it, it leads me to this website: https://www.mozilla.org/de/firefox/new/?reason=manual-update , and after clicking on the download button I get to this site for about a second: https://www.mozilla.org/de/firefox/download/thanks/ after which it loads this site: https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-stub&os=win&lang=de which my browser can't connect to (aka just gives me the standard error message as if you entered an invalid URL). Today I got this website pop-up when starting Firefox: https://www.mozilla.org/de/firefox/welcome/21/ which leads to the same outcome as above. After that I tried to update Firefox by going to the menu -> help -> about Firefox, which searches for updates but then tells me that I have the newest version installed already??? Even when I try to manually install a new version through this site: https://www.mozilla.org/de/firefox/all/ I still get the same result. Please somebody help me out here!

Dear Support, Is there a way to make all "new" folders and subfolders automatically default to my preferred format and column settings?

Every new subfolder I create has a default format I don't care for, which requires me to make multiple changes to get the columns I want, in the order I prefer, with an unthreaded view. I create as many as 20 subfolders a week, and am spending way too much time customizing each new subfolder to be identical to the others I've already created and customized.

I know how to customize existing folders and all their children, but this problem is specific to new subfolders. How can they be made to default to the same settings as their parent folder (and for that matter all the other folders in my library) so I don't have to customize each new subfolder?

I look forward to your help! Best, Judy (Jan. 5, 2024)

When using Eff fingerprint test https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/ it shows a nearly unique fingerprint for FF for version 133. How can this be corrected to show randomized fingerprint ?

Android Tablet, latest version.

Why do most, if not all, links open in Chrome when I have the default set to Firefox?

Makes me fairly crazy.

Thank you,

The latest version of Thunderbird does not seem to have a way to turn off automatic sending of public key and digital signature even when sending *unencrypted* messages. (Prior to 2020, I'm informed there was a way to uncheck "sign all outgoing messages" which I think might have addressed this).

Now letting everyone know my public key would be desirable, except bone-headed email systems -- such as Yahoo Mail -- seem to be more likely to consign my emails to the spam bin with these attachments to spam as being considered suspicious!

How can I have OpenPGP keys installed on an email account, set to not encrypt new messages, and NOT automatically send public key and signature attachments?

Perhaps I should mention that I am using the latest Thunderbird on Windows 11, via Proton Bridge, through the extremely infuriating Proton Mail service.

Thanks, Michael

I was forced into an IMAP email server when switching over to Allo Fiber internet. I now have several issues. I had 7 pop email accounts that all worked within Thunderbirds local folders. All 7 email accounts drop all their email into ONE inbox folder. Now, having a IMAP server and losing pop email service, I have to use message filtering to put all of my new email accounts into the one local inbox. It seems to work, but every new day, it fails. I turn off the computer, go to bed, wake up, turn on my computer, thunderbird then downloads email and like clockwork, message filtering fails every time. I then have to manually move all my email from all my different email accounts into the one local inbox. And sometimes that doesn't even work! I have to shut down thunderbird, restart it and try again to move the emails!!!! Come on Thunderbird...get your act together and get IMAP working just like POP does. I am pissed and am now looking for a different email software program!!!

I know that there are thousands of threads related to moving a profile, but despite having read many of them I am still struggling to move my profile (and I have been trying to do this for several years)

the Default profile is setting up under my Home directory that that is burning up about 10GB of space.

Folliwing Moderator Matt's excellent suggestions:

"so when you go to the troubleshooting information and select profile folder, where does it put you? In a different newly created profile folder. So copy everything to the new folder from the old one"

I DO finally seem to get all my old TB accounts and messages to show up from the moved location.

However, I can neither send nor receive email. which suggests that my Gmail IMAP and SMTP settings are wrong.

My IMAP settings are showing as: Port 993 Security: SSL/TLS Authentication: OAuth2

my SMTP settings are Port 465 Security: SSL/TLS Authentication: OAuth2

When I close the Newly moved profile and restart and specify the original profile (that is housed under /Home) the server settings there seem to be the same. But I am able to send and receive email under that profile.

what am I doing wrong?
