I want to disable AI on Firefox. I noted a response to another request, that in the first quarter of 2026 something will/may be introduced to allow users to choose not to have an AI input on their Firefox. When will this be available?

I can see why AI summaries on Google searches can sometimes be useful. But I don't have any need for AI-related things on my browser and certainly don't want to contribute to AI's impact on resources etc.

It should be a simple yes/no choice. If it's too complicated to provide a yes/no choice that itself is a very strong indication that there's good reason for needing that choice. What is happening, and when?

I just set up a gmail account in T-bird. I can send, but I can't receive. It keeps saying there's no email to get. I use a read-only email app called Mailwasher. I AM getting Gmail email in that app, while it's on the server.

I have gone through the settings in T-bird several times. I even checked on the web. - I entered what you see below (in both Thunderbird and Mailwasher): '"Incoming Mail Server Settings (IMAP) Hostname: imap.gmail.com Port: 993 Requires SSL: Yes Username: Your full Gmail address (e.g., example@gmail.com) Password: Your Gmail password"

I even tried changing the password a couple of times (also had to do this in Mailwasher).

UPDATE: now Thunderbird isn't logging on and wants a new password (which I've done twice already). No reason why.

PLEASE ADVISE. Kami

I am trying to add a Gmail account to Thunderbird. After clicking Continue from the configuration window, the system shows a 'Waiting for authorisation in login popup' window with a rotating circle, which eventually finishes and the window says 'Authentication error. Unable to log in at server. . . .'. As I understand it, the login popup window should be from Google asking me to confirm that it is OK for Thunderbird to connect to the Gmail server. It looks like that Google popup is being blocked. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get the Google permission popup to appear?

I have been using Thunderbird for a fairly long time and have several email accounts in it. Today, I noticed that one of my accounts seems to be filtering the messages for one type of message. When I login to the email account directly, I see all of the messages. I don't have any filters set - none of the filter buttons are on, there is no filter in the filter text box and there are no filters in Tools->Message Filters.

Hi, I'm tring to rearrange the order of my email accounts in the left hand pane. The FAQ says sandwich icon -> account settings -> move them around in the desired order. This looks OK in the account settings list when I do that, but when I close it, the accounts order is as before, and this order shows up again when I re-open the account settings list. Is there any way to make this "stick"? Do I need to click some hidden Confirm button? Many thanks in advance!

Hello,

I've been using the profile manager, and wanted to delete a profile that i have made. However, when i select the option to delete it, it only opens up a new tab in the profile called "about:deleteprofile', which displays an empty page and does nothing. Then, I would try to delete the profile manually, in the profiles folder, but if I opened firefox or restarted my computer, it would just come back. I have attatched the relevant images below.

Why isn't the customization layout being maintained in the sync?

I use Firefox on one computer, and when I opened another computer, installed Firefox, and logged into my profile,

the bookmarks appeared (but without icons).

The add-ons also appeared, but they were all hidden in the add-ons list.

I have to rearrange them and pin each add-on individually to the browser's top bar to be able to browse and access other icons like (Settings, Library, and the Home button).

This is a waste of time and effort and very annoying. The customization layout should also be synced.

Hi,

I had 11031 tabs open. I decided to save all of them because my browser was getting slow.

Just running "select all" was taking minutes, and resizing the window was very very sluggish.

So I selected them all

(screenshot 1)

then I added them to a bookmark folder

(screenshot 2)

Then I went in the toolbar where that bookmark folder was created, and I middle-clicked on it to open all tabs again.

(screenshot 3)

And then the warning "you are about to open X tabs" appears

(screenshot 4)

And the problem is that the number is 8571 not the 11031

Why is firefox losing 2460 of my tabs ?

Also, bookmarking all the tabs, took 4 seconds, while selecting all tabs too minutes. I think the "select all" function could do well to have some optimization as it starts getting slow with as few as 1000 tabs. And
