Long story short, I want to view a link from a QR code, but I don't want to open it in Firefox itself. I fear that doing so would expose me to scams. So, I want the link prompt (deny or allow) to allow me to copy the url, so that I can paste it in a different browser.

Windows 10 became unavailable, but I have a copy of the drive it was on. I had tried to install Linux Mint as dual boot and couldn't get to Windows any more. Installed Linux Mint 22 on that drive, wiping out everything that was on it. Now I really want to get all of my locally saved items from the copy of the old drive onto TB in LM22. The profile folders are there, I just don't know what to do with them. FYI, all of my other data files were on other hard drives, so only the OS and apps were on the boot drive.

I deleted my email before deleting my Firefox account.

So, how do I delete my Mozilla account now? Or what do I need to do to send them a legal request to delete my account?

They cannot keep it active for whatever “reasons”, it is illegal in my state. I will be sending a formal legal request if I cannot get this issue resolved in this thread.

Something horrible and time-consuming has changed within this past week to Thunderbird. My version is 140.7 1esr 64bit. Over the past 4 days or so, I've found I cannot scroll down and see the full emails--until I have to use this new pop-up system.

This is definitely not an improvement in my estimation. Is there any way to undo this?

I refeshed a page just now, and all the tabs have gone weirdly long, it's a nightmare to interact with different pages, the intuitive structure is gone. What just happened? And how can I put the original settings back?? In the past, security updates did not wreck the ease of use, so I'm guessing this was a cosmetic 'upgrade' and I'm desperately hoping someone knows how to roll it back....

Is there a way to toggle off a switch in a setting? if not, can one be added.

I have tried to resolve by changing settings in HTTPS ONLY, DNS over HTTPS and Enhanced Tracking Protection from strict to standard to strict and now custom blocking everything as well as all third party cookies.

I have been using Mozilla Thunderbird for decades and they have even contributed a small amount of money to Thunderbird periodically. Just within the last two or three days all of a sudden I have been unable to send emails with my phone. I receive emails, but I do not send them. So I opened up a laptop where I did not have Thunderbird and set it up properly through Spectrum using the incoming and outgoing servers as mail.twc.com. and yes, just like on my phone. I continue to receive new emails, but even with the laptop I was unable to send an email. I received the message"send message error sending a message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to outgoing server smtp mail.twc.com was lost in the middle of the transaction. Try again."I contacted Spectrum twice and both times they had me try to send a message through their Web server spectrum.net and that message did go through. Of course then their response is that this has to be a problem with the third-party app meaning Mozilla Thunderbird, and they can’t help with that at all. I sure would appreciate some help because I hate to walk away from Thunderbird as well as change my email address after all of these decades.

I recently booted up a new installation of Thunderbird on a new laptop running Fedora Linux after my old Laptop running Ubuntu died. Fortunately, I had been regularly backing up the old machine with Deja Dup. I restored all my files from a recent backup. All my files seem to have been successfully recovered except that many locally-stored Thunderbird messages are missing, and some local folder names have been corrupted.

Since I see problems only with Thunderbird, I suspect the problem lies there rather than with Deja Dup.

Has anyone else had problems with restoring Thunderbird from backups? Is there something I might try to recover the missing messages and corrupted folders? Should I be using a different backup in the future?
