I'm trying to use the Beacon API (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Beacon_API), but Firefox (13.1) on iPhone X (iOS 11.4.1) will not communicate with a secure site (https). E.g.
navigator.sendBeacon('http://xxxx.com', 'data'); will send a POST but navigator.sendBeacon('https://xxxx.com', 'data'); will NOT send a POST.
navigator.sendBeacon() returns true on both secure (https) and insecure (http) sites.
macOS Firefox and iPhone Safari work fine. I've contacted Apple and they say it's a Firefox issue.

The same issue has already been discussed here: https://support.mozilla.org/de/questions/1209898
Since this week I use Windows 10 (replacing Vista) and after a short while I could google anything through my Firefox browser. I just get a blank screen. So I've looked for solutions and I've followed the description below (...it even seemed to work until the next update):
"Try to rename/remove search.json.mozlz4 in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed. You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page. • Help -> Troubleshooting Information -> Profile Directory: Windows: Show Folder; Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder • http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support to see if that has effect in case security software (Avira) is causing problems. • http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/how-to-start-windows-in-safe-mode/ • http://www.7tutorials.com/4-ways-boot-safe-mode-windows-10"
Well, after the most recent update today, it is now obvious that this solution is of little use because the same problem has returned and "search.json.mozlz4 " has been reinstalled back in its place again.
I don't think it is a good practice if one has to remove the file again after every update.
So, what can be really done about this?
Thanks!

This is an infrequent issue where the bookmarks and history disappears if the computer was in sleep state and later the browser was closed and open again. After opening the bookmarks and history of the period from the time it was previously open just go missing. I've had this issue for months now and can figure what's wrong.

after refreshing Firefox to fix a rather obnoxious problem I was having with seemingly-corrupted stylesheets (pages would load without styling, even when "View > Page Style > Basic Page Style" was set; clearing my browser cache didn't fix it), I noticed that while most of my settings were carried over by the Refresh Firefox feature's on-startup sequence, my search engine options were not included. Is there a specific file that stores these, or am I going to have to go back to each individual site (a total of 8-12 if I'm not mistaken) and reinstall the search engines 'manually'?
So no videos will play in the background or just certain ones?

Lately I have been having issues with Yahoo Mail and attachments. When I have Yahoo mail open and attempt to attach a picture or other file, Firefox will crash. When I go to add a document, I can hit the attachment icon, a new window will appear with my files, but as soon as I try to select a file to add Firefox will close down. It does not even get to the point of selecting "open" or double clicking, all I have to do is click on the file and Firefox shuts down. I can have one tab open or many, doesn't affect whether it crashes or not. When I open crash:reports it does not show the crashes however which I find odd. I do have Ad-blocker installed but it has not made a difference in the past.
I can open MS Edge and complete my task (sending mail with attachments), soooooo. ;)
Thank you!

Of the 8 email accounts that use Thunderbird, I have one that doesn't act correctly. I has deleted nearly all of the emails in the inbox. I didn't do anything to command it to take any delete action; it just arbitrarily does it. There is one picture that it leaves alone. Some of the messages are in the Deleted folder, others are in the Deleted Items folder. I haven't fiddled with any settings. It just started doing this on its own. The other 7 email addresses function normally. What changes do I need to make to get this address to stop deleting email messages unless I click the Delete button?

I've refreshed, restarted in safe mode and reinstalled Firefox without add-ons. I've turned off security firewall. Every browser except Firefox and Tor works fine. Pages don't load. No error messages, nothing. Buttons respond when clicked, just no action is taken. This even happens in Safe Mode. After reinstalling, it works ONCE. If I close the window and restart, it goes dead again. Windows 10 home.

Hi,
After migration from a unix mail server to an on premise Exchange server we started to use ExQuilla in Thunderbird and now have an issue with multiple BCC recipients not showing up in Thunderbird. As you can see in the attached screenshot the headerinformation contains more than 1 address but only the first one is displayed when printing/reading the mail.
Checking the mail in OWA reveals boths BCC recipients so it's a Thunderbird error. Prior to the change to Exchange we did not experience this issue.

Since installing Bitdefender Total Security 2019, I find that Fifrefox64 wont open certain e-mail pdf attachments, though Chrome works ok. The problem seems to be related to the file size, as smaller pdfs are opened ok. In an attempt to diagnose this, I have disabled all Bitdefender modules, and restored normal operation, then enabled modules one at a time testing again at each stage. Finally, I found that with all modules enabled Firefox would open the problem pdf, but after shutting down my PC and re booting the problem returned.
Any help most appreciated. I am running Windows 10 Home Single Language, fully updated.

I set up Thunderbird syncing with my Fastmail account some time ago - my Fastmail account has a bunch of email accounts synced to it which I can send and receive from.
When I set up Thunderbird via the wizard, it automatically seemed to enable me to send emails via any of the accounts associated with my Fastmail.
I recently added another email account that syncs via Fastmail, however I don't have the option to send via this email address in Thunderbird.
How can I get the ability to send via this new email address?

Yesterday I started getting this error message on all outbound TB emails thru Comcast: incorrect greeting: resomta-ch2-08v.sys.comcast.net IP 166.173.249.139
Everything worked perfectly for years, until yesterday. No settings were changed. Here's what I've done so far: Deleted acct, and re-established it. No joy. Uninstalled TB, restarted PC Win 7, installed 60.4.0 TB. No joy Restored PC to earlier time when everything was perfect. No joy. Called comcast, verified SMTP settings. They were correct. No joy. Re-booted router. No joy. Shut down AV software (PCmatic) No joy.
Set up same account in Outlook. No joy. (found this interesting that Outlook can't send either)
Would appreciate any ideas any of you have to correct this.
I can use the comcast email website with no problem. Just can't send emails (can receive) on TB.
Thanx in advance. Dennis 1-9-19
