Hi All,

I need open local exists files

file:///.../index_details.rst or file:///.../index_details.txt in my default system editor.

This has worked pretty well last in version 127. (https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/127.0/linux-x86_64/en-US/)

But after v127 Firefox always opens files directly (see screen). I can't find any settings to change this behavior. Something has been changed.

I keep back the firefox upgrade so long it was posible for me but 127 is now old and i use the last version 133.0-1.

I'm using Linux (Debian).

Thanks

I am having issues signing in to the playstation store using firefox. It works on edge (although I have the same issue in ungoogled chromium). I have tried refreshing but that didn't work. I uninstalled it and deleted all mozilla folders in appdata, then tried again without signing in to my mozilla account on a fresh install but i'm still having the issue. It might be a windows configuration issue because I don't see why this would work on edge but not on firefox. I've tried disabling all cookie and tracking protection features but I still have the same issue.

My system memory is reading at 57% right now in task manager, that the vast majority of that is being used by Firefox.

Why?

Normally, this would be called a flaw in the program, not the user, as all I have done in regards to settings is "keep tabs previous open when re-opening Firefox" and "Do not automatically update" because Firefox took it upon itself to not re-open my previous tabs on the last update.

Why is this program eating up all of that memory? I have "Firefox (15)" in Task manager under "Apps" and then 13 more instances of Firefox in "Backround Processes"

Wtf?

I am at a loss as to why this started to happen only a few weeks ago after a years of working fine, and why it should happen at all:

given a link to an HTML file where the headers include content-disposition set to attachment and the server (NextCloud30) mistakenly setting content-type to text/plain, what downloads is not the HTML file, but a text rendering of that HTML file, which is, of course, completely useless to the purpose and makes no sense whatsoever that it should happen. Why would anyone download a file and expect to the be interpreted?

But more to the point, how do I stop this behaviour. The above link, on my home cloud so be gentle, will work just fine on Firefox/Linux, but on Firefox/Android it will download as a 7k rendering of the file, renamed with the txt extension. The link itself is just a few holiday classics in the iRealPro format, which is, sadly, and HTML file. Up until two weeks ago, I would post a link in our band group chat, band members would click the link, be asked if they should launch iReal, and then iReal would ask if they would like to import this playlist.

what happens now is I post the NextCloud public link, they click and get a landing page that correctly describes the file as 20k HTML and has that previous link as the Download button. Clicking that gets you 7k of useless text.

I can't say for certain that this is a few 'feature' of a recent Firefox update or something that was changed in a minor update to Nextcloud. I believe it may also happen on Safari, but I haven't confirmed that, all I know is the link does not work on mobile for most users.

Here are the headers that curl reports, although I don't think Nextcloud gives me any option to change these:

Dear Thunderbird team and community,

long term user here, thanks a lot for your awesome software, absolute essential live-saver.

A few days ago, I did the update to 128.1.0esr (64-Bit) from 115 on win11. Very smooth transition, no issues with my 4 accounts, calendars etc. Great experience.

However, since the update, QuickSearch Ctrl-Shift-K filter that did instanteaneous filters on my 25k mailfolders came to griniding halt.

What happend: - Type a search term with filters on 'subject', 'from' 'to'activate freezes the app for many wall-clock seconds (5-10). Switching to another app and switching back gives me a Windows (Thunderbird not Responsive) in the title bar of the main window during that time.

What I expected: - almost instantaneus filter without noticable lag

What I tried: - deactivate, then uninstall expression search addon incompatible with 128 - restart in Troubleshoot mode with all addons disabled - reboot OS (Win11) several times - searched forums and stackoverflow for similar issues using different search term approaches and combinations

Thank you very much for any pointers how i could resolve the issue. Thanks again for your awesome product!

Jakob

My system (sorry, German)

Well looks like they did it to us again. My tabs are back on top again and need to put them below where I am a lot of other users like our tabs!

Update: Codes working fine now for 133.0

Recently, every time I turn on email on Yahoo, I get a noisy notification when each email is received. I do not want or like it. It is annoying. How can I turn off the notifications?

Youtube's side panel on the left does not load at all, the videos on the homepage do but none of them can be played. When I play a video the website doesn't load that either. I only get an hourglass icon on the tab. Image attached.

Google search results don't show up immediately, despite being loaded. Only after about 7 seconds. Image attached.

I don't have this issue on other browsers. It has only started occurring 3 days ago, I'm clueless as to what the cause may be.

Solutions I have tried: 1. Restarting my PC. 2. Turning off all my extensions. 3. Running Firefox in troubleshoot mode. 4. Refreshing Firefox.

I am grateful for the recently added ability to see a sender's URL in the "From" column. However, the URL is always preceded by a name or some other text; and when sorting the list in any folder on From, it sorts on the preceding text, not on the URL itself.

That prefix text is often (to me) meaningless and/or useless. I want to be able to sort on the URL itself without involving the text. If this is already possible I haven't figured out how to do it. If it's not possible now, I request that it be made available as a configurable option.

From an upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04 I had a fresh installation of Thunderbird 128.4.4esr with a new profile in a different location. After some attempts at migration I ended up with

(base) kuiper@nutmeg2:~/snap/thunderbird/common/.thunderbird/p325bquj.default$ ls -l ImapMail/ total 48 drwxr-xr-x 3 kuiper kuiper 4096 Dec 3 17:22 imap.gmail-1.com drwxr-xr-x 3 kuiper kuiper 4096 Dec 7 10:44 imap.gmail-2.com drwxr-xr-x 3 kuiper kuiper 4096 Dec 7 12:12 imap.gmail.com

This are big directories taking a lot of disk space.

(base) kuiper@nutmeg2:~/snap/thunderbird/common/.thunderbird/p325bquj.default$ sudo du -hst 1G ImapMail/* 15G ImapMail/imap.gmail-1.com 15G ImapMail/imap.gmail-2.com 17G ImapMail/imap.gmail.com

Can I just delete imap.gmail-1.com and imap.gmail-2.com?

I have inbox so that the messages are below the subject, correspondent and date lines. This is OK but I need to show more of the headings. Can anyone show me how to reduce the height of the subject line please. Many thanks..........Joe

Several weeks ago, I was attempting to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11. In the process, I deleted Firefox (using Revo Uninstaller) and then reinstalled it, downloading it from the Mozilla website. Unfortunately, it didn’t run, giving me, at different attempts, different error messages. In the time since then, I have read many suggestions from many different websites and I have tried some of these suggestions, all with no success – until today. I have just completed the suggestions made on https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1327628 and Firefox is now back, working. I am happy and grateful, but not finished. None of my personal data came with the currently functioning version of Firefox. Since the re-emergence of Firefox, I have been reading several websites dealing with copy, backup and restore of my Firefox profile. Right now, the path C:\Users\rsuth\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ shows 5 folders: Two of the folders show 11/11/24 as the date modified (probably the date of the download from Mozilla). The folder 0dppjrfa.default contains one file, times.json, dated 8/11/2020. The other folder, ru82tlj5.default-release, has 97 items, most dated 11/11/2024. The remaining three folders are all dated 12/2/24 (today, as I write this). One folder’s name ends .default, the second name ends .default-release, and the third name ends .default-release-thirteen digits. The question that I am asking here is what do I do next to, hopefully, bring back the personal date I had with Firefox before my updating to Windows 11. Should I delete the folders dated 12/2/24? What, if anything, is the significance of the folder whose name ends in 13 digits? I’m hoping someone will be able to tell me how to fix these Firefox problems. And if I can, then I hope to be able to do something similar to help me bring back Thunderbird as well. Thunderbird became unfunctioning at the same time as Firefox. Thank you.

Hi. I'm trying to troubleshoot failure to resume a download in Firefox and I want to see the HTTP headers just like in Network Tab of Dev Tools, but I can't find how to open Network Tab from the "Downloads" list. Is it even possible?

As the title states, certain media elements within Firefox refuse to play with audio, but only with frustrating inconsistency. For example, any videos on Youtube are fine. Any videos on Reddit are fine. But many videos, most commonly on boorus and streaming sites I cannot name here, will not play. The volume on the video slider is all the way up, the Firefox application is not muted, the site is not muted, and the tab is not muted. The only thing that makes those videos play audio is if I left click on them to open them in another tab by themselves. While it solves the issue, it's still an extremely inconvenient way to go about my browsing. I know for a fact that this is a Firefox problem because those same videos on those same sites work perfectly fine within other browsers. Please, does anybody know of a solution to this issue?

when I print a message the font is extremely small and I have multiple things printing below who the message was from. How do I delete these multiple things and increase the size of the message body font? Thanks, Marc Kahn

Why do I get this alert message across the bottom of my screen when I double-click to open an email in my INbox? It is in a yellow box across the bottom of a pre-populated draft 'return to the sender" email.

A unique identity matching the From address was not found. The message will be sent using the current From field and setting from identity Robert Hill <arnilmmproductions@gmail.com>"

It doesn't mark the original email as 'Read' when I close it. But if I right click on it, it gives me the option of opening it a new Tab, a new Window, or a Conversation.

The problem seems to recur after a Thunderbird upgrade.

Hoping to get your response and a solution soon. Thank you.
