My (our) ISP started using new 'bigger/better' software. grrr

The ISP's tech support had me close (? delete ?) my Thunderbird e-mail account & start a new one.

I cannot access - use any of the ?17-19? folders. How do I, if I can, recover the folders so I can start moving relevant messages to them?

Good luck, remain WELL & be SAFE!

THANKS!

Robin

The AI chatbot is back in my sidebar. I did not opt in to this. I would prefer not to roll back to whichever version of Firefox is before the AI it's-a-feature-not-a-bug got wedged in; what other options do I have for permanently disabling AI?

Going to sidebar settings to hide the AI chatbot does not suffice. Evidence: I did that already, it has been undone, and I cannot now find the toggle in question.

Personally I vote for yanking it out of the main browser altogether, so people have to actively choose to install the AI chatbot add-on. But my question is about actions I can take myself.

Hi I recently received an update on Windows 11 insider channel that blocked me from using Firefox and Google Chrome. It also refused to allow me to reinstall Firefox. It would not let open the browsers at all. I did everything possible-no child restrictions- no security issues-no issues with Microsoft redistributable packages. The only browser it would allow me to use was Explorer. I ended up doing a clean install of Windows 11 to fix the problem. I don’t think blocking a user from a web browser is legal but I’m not a lawyer. Thanks, Jonathan

I have over 17,000 emails in my inbox and Thunderbird won't let me send any more out. I tried to cull blocks of emails (e.g., all before 2024) but it wouldn't let me do that; it made me do one at a time.

Is there no way I can delete a whole lot in one go? SW

I posted this and was told it was ;posted, but then I got a not found error when I tried to view it, so I'm trying again.

I set a site to use firefox as the default app for ftp not realizing ftp support was removed from the browser. I have been trying to get the dialog back that will allow me to change it. I downloaded filezilla to use for ftp. However, I am unable to get the dialog back that will allow me to change apps.

Can someone help me get the dialog back? And, before anyone suggests it, resetting firerfox to the default settings is not an option.

My bookmarks, history and passwords have disappeared. I looked at the articles, refreshed firefox, have restarted firefox and my computer multiple times but cannot retrieve them.


This is the message when I start firefox

The bookmarks and history system will not be functional because one of Firefox's files is in use by another application. Some security software can cause this problem.

Previously when you click the ADD ON button a list of extension icons appeared but not if you click ADD ON button a theme tab pops up Now I can not use the extension I want to use eg for video download I could click the downloader icon and the video would start downloading. Now as the list is gone how do you use the down load ext if the icons are not listed. It is now a useless browser as I could not use the extension Even a simple eraser history icon is not there so I had to go to settings to clear data Very inconvenient Before you click the eraser button and history is cleared by 1 click Please restore ADD ON list button to make the browser more convenient as b4. After the recent update all the features are not visible

Hi, Since the last update for Mozilla on the laptop (updated on 6/Oct/2025 - version 143.0.4 (64-bit)), all the shortcuts to websites in Firefox homepage I had pinned have disappeared. Also I can't add new shortcuts. I already have shortcuts enabled in Settings>Home>Firefox Home Content>Shortcuts.

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Kind regards.

When v143 was released something happened to the shortcuts row(s). Regardless of refreshing efforts, rolling back versions, and searching the forums, there's no way to consistently get the shortcuts back. Sometimes they appear with a new browser instance, sometimes they don't. They don't appear with new tabs, and they don't stay when they do appear with a new browser. Grrrr. Please restore the shortcuts!

When I try to connect to MSNBC Live TV or Fox Sports Live TV while using Mozilla Firefox, I am asked to click on my provider (which is Verizon) so that I can verify my account. When I click on that icon (from a choice of 15 or so providers), it sends me to the Verizon page where the message is Please wait - we are verifying your account with a spinning wheel that does not stop spinning. How can this situation be rectified so that I can sign in. It worked fine for years until the last couple of weeks. Thank you, Raymond Birch
