Is there an option to save the sender's address into the address book automatically when replying to an email? Where is it? I think I need to turn it off!!

I have been having enormous trouble with emails from a group of people who use the same 'noreply' return address. It seems that the name of one of these people was inserted into my address book together with the 'noreply' email address. Every email received from the group over the recent past has been overwritten by that name as being the sender.

I don't know if, at some time in the past, I (accidentally?) hit the reply button triggering an update to the address book - or what else could have happened.

I found the record concerned in the address book and deleted it, which has stopped the problem. But I need to stop the problem recurring.

I've spent days trying to sort this out and am now totally confused so I do hope my explanation above is clear. Please point me in the right direction for a solution

I couldn't find a proper category for this. Why does Mozilla make it hard to figure out where to report a bug? And then once you find where you need to be, they force you to create an additional login (something EVERYBODY wants to do more than necessary) to actually report the bug.

Yay, just what I want to waste time doing. I was hoping I could create another useless account somewhere with a new username and password to fill up my password manager with more junk. Thanks Mozilla!

Brought to you by the UI designer who thought it would be a good idea to remove all semblance of separation or delineation between individual tabs. This guy probably defiantly refuses to shave a break in the unibrow he got teased for mercilessly in high school.

Hello there!

I have an issue that even in settings page, here, in Firefox - i have around 50 fps. I have 240hz monitor and 4070 gpu and 14900hx cpu. In Chrome - i have noticeable 240 fps. What should i do to have same 240 here, in Firefox?

How can I view ALL the cookies stored in Firefox; all at once and delete those I chose? (The way I used to be able to before I stupidly allowed my old version to get overwritten.)

The cramped tiny site specific view via the Inpect conglomeration is no substitute.

The Manage data from the settings allows me to subselect buy server name; but shows count of cookies and the ability to delete all or nothing. That's not what I want. I'd like inspect the cookies from that site and delete them individually. Why is that no longer possible?

With the new version of TB the address book has become unusable. It is not White Text on white background. I can't find any settings to reset or apply a theme or fix the colors of the text within the address book. There are many settings and themes that one could apply to the mailbox but if one can't see the address book that pretty much it useless to try to use the email.

How does one just set up the ENTIRE program to apply a theme? Or can we get a working White and Dark themes that address all Text and All backgrounds to make them legible so there are at least useful. TB has become very frustrating. Sorry to rant but before the big changes to use native Darkmode it was really good email client but like so many that try to embrace the darkmode trend (which isn't a bad idea) they are falling short of addressing the entire product.

Any help to address the color issues in the address book would be greatly appreciated.

Is there a way for fonts and color in replies to be default for replies only, and a different default font and color for new messages. It is kind of a pain to keep changing every time you do a reply.

Thank you, Rick

TB 137.0.1 (64-bit) Edition Windows 11 Pro Version 24H2 OS build 26100.3775 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.66.0

Was repeatedly encountering "Cannot read summary file" when opening TB. Some research indicated this issue goes back many years and can be intermittent. After much "repair folder" the issues seems to have abated. However, as part of my research I explored the user-local filesystem tree for TB for one of the larger email accounts I monitor, as in

C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\<8_chars_profile_id>.default\ImapMail\<mail_server_name>\email_top_level_folder_names_as_NTFS_directory_names.

From this I discovered that with a Message Store Type of File-per-folder, TB constructs a filesystem directory tree that replicates the email folder tree, including the naming, presented by the IMAP email server. Not an unreasonable design choice but one with a potential flaw. Given that a Windows user_name can be 20 characters, an FQDN hostname can be 253 characters, and the max IMAP folder name length can be uncertain but apparently good practice is no more than 250 characters,...

• What happens when TB goes to create a deep-in-tree directory having a pathname that exceeds the Windows maximum of 260 bytes?

• Suppose this deep-in-tree directory is not originated from the TB UI but rather from a TB update scan of an IMAP server?

The user could have created IMAP folders via a Web interface with longish names in a 3 or 4 deep hierarchy not understanding the total pathname length limit in how TB echos the IMAP folder tree with a directory tree. The user then points TB at this email account and oops. Does TB fall over?

The default leading part of the TB AppData pathname above could be 93 characters alone before we get to the email server FQDN. Windows 11 Pro does offer a Group Policy setting to enable long pathnames up to 32k for manifested apps but this policy is not configured OOB.

When I open gmail on Firefox it is automatically opening a new email tab. How do I disable this?

I also cannot select gmail in my "mail to" applications.

Had to reinstall, so starting over. When I look at the Junk log, there are tons of messages listed that are not junk. How do I rescue them? and how do I make sure they are not treated as junk in the future?

Hello, I have three free.fr email addresses in Thunderbird under Windows 10. Several of my folders and subfolders, along with the corresponding messages, have disappeared. I can find their traces in my profile in the Mail folders. How can I restore them? Thank you.

I'm getting junk mail that uses my wife name as the sender. My wife died a year ago and I do not like seeing her name being used this way. Basically, the email (fake billing) has: her name as the sender my email address real sender address (junk/spam name from gmail).

I need to have any email as she being the sender to automatically go to junk and trash.

Please, tell me how I can do this. I'm getting up there in years, so any help and a "how-to do it", I would really appreciate it very much.

I was not able to "see" any way within Thunderbird on how I can do it. BTW- the version of Thunderbird is: 128.9.1esr (64-bit) and my OS is Ubuntu 24.10

Thank you for your time.

I like mozilla browsers like Firefox, Firefox Focus and Other version like Fennec(F-Droid) ( I think it's not maintained by Mozilla, anyways leave it)

My default browser in settings is Firefox Focus and even after keeping it as default I got a prompt to choose between different browsers and I have choosen Firefox Focus again for Always but I don't understand why Firefox(Release/Stable version) kept overriding the default settings by itself without my permission, I don't understand how it can make itself as default browser engine? I want Firefox Focus to be default but Firefox kept on annoying me by making itself default, so I just deleted Firefox(Release) and Downloaded Fennec(F-Droid version), it's not causing this problem.

I hope, I have explained my problem as clearly as possible and I had downloaded that Firefox browser from Play Store and not anywhere else also it's the latest version. So it's not tampered and if you guys want details about my mobile

Device: Huawei's Honor 9 Lite LLD-AL10 Model, Android version 9 and EMUI version 9.1.0.

I haven't tested this bug or issue from other devices yet because currently I don't have anything else.

So Mozilla Support team members. Kindly solve this issue please, Thank you....

I've been using Firefox in Windows for years as my default browser. Suddenly tonight, Microsoft Edge became my default. When I go into Windows Settings and try to change back to Firefox, Windows offers me only Microsoft browsers as alternatives (or offers to let me into the Microsoft Store): Windows Edge or Internet Explorer.

The Control Panel / Settings page "Set Default Apps" is the only way that I know that Windows lets users set default browsers, but it suddenly seems to be restricting me to only MS browsers.

Firefox works normally in every other way, but warns me now every time I launch it that I have a different default browser. When I click the button in the warning (or in Firefox's Tools / Settings) I just get put back to the Windows "Set Default Apps" page, which, again, only lets me choose Microsoft browsers.

What could have happened? I haven't altered my Firefox configuration or installed extensions or plug-ins in a long time. If I uninstall & reinnstall Firefox, will I lose my many configuration & interface settings and will I have to reinstall all my extensions -- or will the reinstalled Firefox remember its existing configuration? Or would that probably not help at all.

I'm very computer-savvy, but have run out of ideas. Can you help??

My issue is that if I access the upper right corner of the screen, titled "Open Application Menu" and go to Settings I'm told my Browser is not the default AFTER THE PROCESS OF JUST MAKING IT THE DEFAULT.

It seems there is an effort to try and drive all of us nuts. This never happened before, and if it continues it will be the end of electronic communications (which it is suspected is the plan by those who engage in violence to achieve their objectives).

What I came here for was to have my settings, after the process (done many times previously) show a response in Settings that, "Yes" my browser (Firefox) is the default, which it did for a time today. Obviously there is no persistence.

When I got help on this issue previously, my response was I already tried that, and it didn't work. There used to be a lot of different browsers. Now I haven't come across any of them currently. Some are having great success in seeing to it that only their browser will survive. That seems like a "gangland" type of mentality to me.link text I believe I spent enough of my time on this issue and explained it in detail. There's really nothing else I can "contribute".

I, by the way, went to my Internet provider today who found an email under Preferences that she said had the capability to steel my emails. It had an extension in Australia (*.AU). If that has anything to do with this problem I'd like to buy a pair of handcuffs to see if that individual(s) being constrained from using a PC keyboard is a cure for this problem.
