I can't find sometimes very important replies to my emails because they are filed not in the chronological order in which they arrive in my computer but are connected in the group of the original Subject. How can I change that? Thank you. info@rebel.gr PS. I use Win11

Hello,

I am writing about a unwanted window behavior that I encounter on KDE using Debian 12. When Firefox is half- or quarter-tiled to the screen, the tiling is undone each you click on the upper edge of the window.

Steps to reproduce: 1. Tile the Firefox window to one half of the screen 2. Hover the mouse over the upper edge of the window. The resize vertically icon appears. 3. Click to resize the window

Encountered behavior: The window goes back to the size and position it was before tiling the window.

Expected behavior: The window remains in place.

One additional behavior I discovered while writing this message is that: If you maintain the click and hover the mouse down, the window (which jumped to its previous size and position) returns to the tiled position and follows the resize movement (as intended).

I usually intend to switch to another tab when I trigger this behavior. I hover my mouse all the way up on my screen on (well, actually above), the tab I want to navigate to and click. While I agree that it takes is not to hover the mouse all the way up, it is very irritating that window jumps to another position so easily.

Other applications on KDE do not show this behavior. Therefore I assume this behavior is specific to Firefox. Furthermore when the window is maximized, this behavior doesn't occur (because these is no resize action available in that case).

About my System: Debian 12 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0 Qt Version: 5.51.8 Kernel Version: 6.1.0-25-amd64 Firefox: 130.0.1 (Installed using Flatpak)

Is this a behavior known to you?

Kind regards,

Nathan van Schoote

My computer died. Luckily I had all my Firefox passwords, favourites etc synced with my account. I got my wife's old computer, fired up and logged into Firefox expecting it to sync all of the data from my account onto this new computer, but, it seems to have now backed up all the data from my wife's computer and overwritten mine. Is there any way I can recover all of my original stuff please?

When i try to install firefox in userprofile silent i get the UAC prompt to enter admin password i usually have to cancel it for the installation to proceed. How can we suppress the UAC prompt to install firefox as normal user in userprofile

Several of my often-used websites are now unresponsive on Firefox. This has been happening for a month or so. I'm in the UK and on Windows 10 and Microsoft 365. More and more often I am having to use Chrome. I don't want to have to change over completely.

I am RE-ASKING this question because the person who responded to the previous iteration provided no help whatsoever. I'm using Firefox 130.00 on a MacBook Pro (15-inch, mid-2012) running Catalina (10.15.7). It has run flawlessly for years, but suddenly won't open, and only hangs, requiring me to Force Quit. It stopped working on Thursday, 9/12, which, I notice, was the day it was last modified with an automatic upgrade. I have quit and tried restarting multiple times, but am unable to get into it at all and, therefore, cannot access Troubleshooting Mode. I have NOT yet tried deleting it and downloading a fresh copy. I would like, if possible, to retain my open tabs, Bookmarks, and History.

Websites won't load. I had max protection and DNS enabled, it worked, then one day it stopped and I got an error that they couldn't resolve the DNS connection. So then I moved it back to Standard protection, and now sites load intermittently. Facebook loaded fine an hour ago, now it says "We can’t connect to the server at www.facebook.com." I have no extensions, not connected to a VPN right now, have tried restarting, and other browsers work fine.

Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble signing into YouTube using a specific Gmail account on Firefox. I recently deleted a YouTube channel associated with this Gmail, and since then, every time I try to log in to YouTube, I get the error message "Something went wrong." This issue only happens with this particular Gmail account and only on YouTube, while other Google services (like Gmail and Google Drive) work fine. Here's what I’ve tried so far:

   Cleared cache and cookies for YouTube and Google.
   Disabled all extensions in Firefox.
   Logged out of all Google accounts.
   Tried Incognito mode.
   Tested on other browsers (which work perfectly, so it seems isolated to Firefox).
   Signed in on a different device with the same Gmail (works fine outside Firefox).
   Checked Google account for security or account issues (everything seems normal).

Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Has anyone else faced issues logging into YouTube after deleting a channel, particularly with Firefox? Any tips or solutions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Recently one of my computers was hacked. The malware was removed but it looks like it stole active sessions and perhaps no passwords. In v 130.0.1 How are synced passwords stored locally? Is the key still easily accessible? Does the new "Require device sign in to fill and manage passwords" option change how the key is stored or does it further encrypt the file like "master password" does? Thanks!

Linux Mint 22(Cinnamon) Firefox 130.0.1 64bit Mint-001 - 1.0 Dual monitors My workflow depends on speed/accesibilty For this reason my habit is for Thunderbird to open on right hand mnitor (Primary Monitor) When I click a link in Thunderbird to open the conversation etc, it opens that link in the left hand monitor (secondary monitor)

(I recently moved back to Firefox following a time in brave browser.) I can no longer get the above procedure to work. Thunderbird opens as normal, but Firefox insists on opening the link in the same monitor as Thunderbird (primary)......this is messy, slow and defeats the purpose of having two monitors. I reluctantly switched back to brave.....and immediately the link would begin opening in the secondary monitor. I have combed the Firefox Settings to no avail. A friend suggested the answer may lie in the ""firefox registry"...if there is such a thing?... about:firefox ?? I have zero idea how to access that if it does exist

You help is seriously appreciated

ChatGPT will not open in Firefox I have cleared caches etc checked for updates. However i can open on my iPhone using Safari and then I downloaded Chrome and can access via Chrome so this leads me to assume that the issue is with Firefox!! Please advise.

If mozila Firefox is unlocked with a master password & we continue browsing , will passwords be still safe & secured by firefox protection during that browsing session ?

Hi. I have various folders, for different businesses.. And when browsing I need to save a certain website for both businesses, like a trade show for example. But a bookmark can only be saved in one folder. I refuse to belive this is a thing in 2024.. Is there a solution? A hack? I know if I click on a different page of a webiste it will save, but some pages only have one page url.. I thought maybe changing the name of the bookmark might work but it doesn't. Any help appreciated.

Used to be my Homepage was set to Yahoo.com as my Firefox browser. Lately after putting my computer to sleep and I wake up the computer and click on the Firefox Icon on my desktop it wakes up with Hong Kong Yahoo web page and everything is in Chinese. My Windows region is set to the U.S. and Canada, and the Time zone to central mountain time. Nothing has changed there. There are no new favorites, I cleared the history and the cache, and now I get nothing BUT Hong Kong Yahoo and everything is in Chinese when I want to go to Yahoo to log into my mail account. I have now switched to microsoft Edge to get my mail, and will soon dump Firefox if I can migrate my favorites to Edge and this problem persists.
