First off it set the search bar and menu at the bottom of the screen and I didn't know how to change that. Then I couldn't sync with all my account passwords and bookmarks previously saved on other apps. I had to delete the app because the idea of privacy is great and all but I need to get access to my preferred websites and accounts easily. If you can provide an easy fix I will give the app another try.

Thanks.

Same as this question, but the answer is outdated: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/839240

Is there a way to do this in the about:config page?

There is an answer about holding `Alt`, but that is a workaround.

Recently, I’ve noticed that after the app hasn’t been used for a bit or the app is closed, when I go back it will show my tabs but they won’t show the URL - it’s just blank displaying the new tab screen and won’t load anything. It’ll show the name of the tab in the tab switcher but that’s it. Nothing comes up. This has become quite frustrating. I’m on the March 28th version of the app and iOS 16.3. If I click the back button (which does appear) it just does a little glitch.

on my account page under security - password lists an 18 character password. my password was actually only 8 characters, so i changed it and is now 9 characters but the only password listed is still the 18 character.

After the most recent (or possibly the one before) Firefox update, when I am streaming radio via a radio player website, the stream keeps switching itself off after 10 minutes regardless of other activity on the machine.

Apparently, this was reported a while ago (ca. 2020) but has only affected my experience per the above updates.

Windows 10, latest Firefox version, e.g., url: https://siradio.si/val202/ but same behaviour with others sites.

I'm having trouble with my laptop battery and my laptop completely died. I got it working again but now Firefox doesn't have my logins for some reason. The Profile folder showed logins.json, logins.json.corrupt, and logins-backup.json. I changed logins.json to logins-old.json and changed logins.json.corrupt to logins.json like I saw in many solutions but that does not work. It just becomes logins.json.corrupt again. I tried the same with Logins-backup.json but still just changed to corrupt. I refreshed firefox but still the same. I made a new profile and copied the file and tried to get it to work there but still changes back to corrupt every time. I'm Windows 8.1 so there is no Previous Versions tab in properties so I can't go back to a previous version of the file. Is there ajny way to fix this and get my passwords back?

Hi there,

since a couple of releases since I installed thunderbird on my MacBook, I got the problem that the counter displays 99+ unread messages when everything is read. It only transforms to a no red dot icon when I have 3 unread messages across my accounts, and then if more come in starts to count up. I waited thinking it's just a bug on one release (as it suddenly started doing it after an update, but I don't remember what version that was) but after receiving the newest update (Version 102.9.1 (64-Bit)) it is still not fixed.

I have tried changing the system settings for the icon (disabling this red dot and then turning it back on) but it didn't work.

Any other suggestions?

I am a long time (decades) user of Firefox. I run Firefox on Macbook, Android, iPad, and Windows 10. One of the features I use a lot, is the sending of tabs from one device to another. Mostly with the iPad being the target. Recently, Firefox crashed on the iPad. Not a problem, I thought. Firefox has crashed before and machines running Firefox have crashed before. Firefox has always nicely restored tabs that were open at the time of the crash. Not so after this crash on the iPad. Selecting the button to restore tabs did not restore anything. I quickly opened the tabs that were synchronised from the iPad on my Macbook. Firefox on the iPad had lost the way altogether. There were 3 entries in the synchronisation database for it now, two with identical name. Sending tabs to the ipad could only be done to the wrong name. Renaming the machine on the iPad did not result in corrections, so I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox on the iPad. This did not correct the issues, so I deleted the iPad Firefox devices (all for the same device) from the Macbook. That worked. After that I set up the proper name for the device on the iPad, and sync and sending tabs worked again. The next problem was that web pages that worked before did not open in Firefox on the iPad any more. Some cookie settings pages worked alright. The cookie settings page for my newspaper did not work any more. No way at all to get to those settings. The pages for my newspaper also did not load to the end any more, making Firefox on the iPad quite useless for me. I have tried several things, including uninstalling and installing again, deleting all web content from within Firefox, restarting the iPad, … Nothing solves these problems. What I noted during all these actions in Firefox on the iPad is that most of the time the Settings -> Data Management -> Web Site Data acttion kept showing a little thingy going round and round and round and round. I have only seen web site data there once. Anyway, since it looks as if Firefox does not work any more on my iPad and is not restorable, it seems, I am now switching to Chrome. I find this very disappointing, as I really like (a working) Firefox as my browser. Nice features, good privacy, works everywhere (until recently). Not withstanding that, I do need a good, functional browser. So, for the moment I am switching to the Google Chrome browser. Because I use the sending of tabs between device very frequently, I am going to switch on all my devices. I really hope to hear in the near future that the iPad issues for Firefox are fixed. Good chance that I will then switch back to Firefox.

Hi,

For a couple of weeks the synchronizing of my calendar in Thunderbird between my two devices seems broken.

- I don't know if this is related to Thunderbird or to the CalDav free service that I use (https://fruux.com/). Is there a way to find out which one it is? - Also I've been using this system for a long time, so I have many entries stored in the calendar. I'm aware that this is slowing things down, but can it cause complete lack of sync? - In case it's relevant: when I reinitialize the connection by deleting and setting up the calendar again, the content is correctly synchronized at the beginning.

Suggestions welcome, thanks :)

Hi, I have recently reset my phone and lost all my Google Authenticator codes. This required me to jump through a lot of hoops to get access back to all of my accounts (I'm still in the process for some accounts). On one occasion, I had backup recovery codes, but they weren't working. I noted that some organisations have the ability to view your recovery key and codes, and others don't. Does Firefox have the ability to do this so that users know that if something happens, they will be able to recover? If not, is this something they can implement?

Kind Regards, M.

I deleted my emails between 2017 - 2019 by mistake, I think I have found them in this Thunderbird file : Profiles uq4n2zn3.default mail mail.pestblastersrus.co.nz, it is the sent emails I want to retrieve, I opened the sent in this file, someone told me to put all numbers to zero in the X-Mozilla-Status 0000, I then opened it in wordpad and it is encode base64, is this correct file to recover deleted sent emails ? And if so how do I convert them to readable email format?

Just spent 1 and half hours with Surfshark online support to troubleshoot why I can't send emails while connecting to them. Was working fine with Nord VPN. The problem is with Thunderbird app since I have no pb with my phone or tablet that uses FairEmail. No pb while using the browser version pf my email provider (posteo) either. I only get the "sending of the email failed" when using Thunderbird app on Windows 10. I did all the troubleshooting on the general help pages, nothing helps so far. And I can't seem to find any live support or even an email address for support. So I'd be very grateful for any info on that too. Have a great day and thanks in advance.

I have a IMAP server with a self signed certificate. How do I import the certificate as an exception? I've obviously done it once, because a certificate is listed in:

Server -> Privacy and Security -> Manage Certificates -> Server

I need to add a new one, for which I assume I use "Add Exception...". But that seems to only accept HTTPS locations. I tried imap://<hostname> and <hostname>:143 but neither seems to work.

Thanks.

Here exist some problems on my firefox account and I just feel so confused about this.The confusing situation happened yesterday when I install the firefox app on my desktop,I typed in my login email and clicked the enter but the website said that I have to use my main email address to login,I have another email address so I used another email address,about this email address I don't know whether I have used it to create a firefox account,again,I can't login my account,today I directly use the latter email to log in the firefox website,It told me that this email has't been used.So I want to know why I meet this error,and how to solve it.and when I try to change my password,the password-reset email will be sent to both the two email addresses I refeerd to in this question feedback.
