Now it's completely impossible to open PDFs outside Firefox, as I could do until the last couple of beta versions.

This trend is going on since a few years ago, from bad to worst. The whole design of the PDFs download process is bad. PDFs should be treated by FF as any other file: download and open with the system default PDF viewer. Imposing Firefox's internal PDF viewer as mandatory for downloaded PDFs is nonsense.

In the year 2024, firefox still does not allow a simple way to set any URL you would like as the new tab url (without an extension).

Users were previously able to use extensions like NewTab override to have a relatively seamless experience changing their new tab page. However after certain changes, these said extensions can no longer set your new tab page to a local file, and can also no longer clear and focus the address bar.

I am simply requesting a feature within firefox to set a custom new tab page, without having to create any external configs, or without using any extensions. This basic feature has been available in chromium browsers for years, and firefox already includes a feature just like this for the "Homepage and new windows" setting, where it allows you to input a custom URL to a local file or site to put it as your homepage. However, this same setting for some odd reason does not exist for the "new tabs" option. Why is this?

As of now, I've had to use a manual override along the lines of this:

``` // shenanigans for setting a different new tab page const { classes: Cc, interfaces: Ci, utils: Cu } = Components; const { AboutNewTab } = Cu.import("resource:///modules/AboutNewTab.jsm", {}); // path to new tab can be a url or file const newTabURL = "file:///home/faaris/.local/packages/startpage/fazzi/index.html"; // set the new tab URL AboutNewTab.newTabURL = newTabURL; ```

this should not be needed. Having to modify files in system protected folders should not be needed for such a simple option.

How do I permanently change the "overflows" attribute of the new sidebar button to false so it doesn't disappear on me when I resize the window and I still need my tabs?

When multitasking I would like to decrease the horizontal window size to any size I want. Right now with vertical tabs enabled it is locked to more than half my screen width for some reason.

Is there anything I can do to unlock this window size limit? It makes vertical tabs just a worse option even though it's great otherwise.

Добрый день , я уже давно пользуюсь браузером фаерфокс и долгое время работал на операционной системе виндовс но сейчас у меня новый ноутбук на ос мак от эпл , и возникла проблема с авто переводом в браузере а именно , нет в выборе перевода страницы языков украинский и русский , я пробовал установить несколько расширений по переводу но они также почему-то не работают корректно а именно не переводят текст самой странички , мне приходится копировать текст и переводить в гугл переводчике или же выделять текст и нажимать перевод выбранного текста через плагин и этот перевод открывается в новой страничке что весьма неудобно . Скажите как добавить новый язык для перевода так как их нет в выборе языков , заранее спасибо .

Hello,

I have the latest thunderbird (128.5.1esr (64-bit)), running on Windows 11 and connected to a mailcow server.

I am having problems with creating calendar events - they are created 1 hour in the future. They show up fine in thunderbird, but Mailcow/SOGo and mobile phones, etc all show the incorrect time.

If I create an event outside thunderbird, or edit it outside thunderbird, all is ok.

I have opened the error console, and it gives me a number of warnings "Calendar: Could not find definition for W. Australia Standard Time"

I am not sure where it is looking for this - but that is the timezone my computer is set to, it exists in the registry, etc.

There is an attached screenshot with more details of the error - maybe its java library issue or something?

Regards, Mal.

I have a filter that successfully moves certain incoming emails to a server folder named "Bills". I would like to have a filter that automatically moves the emails in the server's Bills folder to a local Bills folder when the email is over 60 days old. Is this possible?

I used thunderbird since 2006 till now, but the present thunderbird was wrong somethings.

When I created the 25 message filters and run from inbox it's Work.

Example : Filters 1 Marketing Managers From contains : managers@xxx.xxx To contains : managers@xxx.xxx Move message to folder Marketing Managers under My Company and Marketing and sub-folder Marketing Managers

Filters 2 Marketing Customer Company A From contains : marketing@abc.xxx To contains : marketing@abc.xxx Move message to folder Marketing under My Customer and Company C and sub-folder Marketing But when I closed thunderbird and open again.

The alert pop-up will show about the filters can't move to destination folder. Then I'll check the filters again and found the problem with Perform these actions could not find the destination folder, I selected again and try to run It's work. After then I try again on next days. The alert pop-up display again.

Thunderbird 112, no message filters problem, but install new version (128.5.1 esr) found problem.

Anyone advice for solve or correct this problem.

I have both the beta Thunderbird for Android and the k9 clients on my phone but hadn't realised they were not interchangable, so I got a surprise when I opened via the blue icon and deleted an email and there was no 'are you sure you want to delete' or deletion options dialogue on the thunderbird version. The K9 still asks to confirm delete, but the thunderbird only has three options in the settings and I cant find any setting to turn on the dialogue.

If I'm not missing something (maybe I missed an update), I suggest this needs copying over from K9.

I accidentally activated 'block element' for my homepage 'www.msn.com'. Now the site comes up blank. How do I reverse the 'block element?

Hello. In the past two days I lose my tabs when I shut down Firefox. I used to be fine using the X at the top right and when I restarted the browser, all my tabs would still be there. Then they started going missing, so I started using the menu option to exit the browser. The tabs still went missing.

Then I noticed the square icon button on the extreme left and have discovered that Firefox has different windows, and that one of them (see attached image) has all my tabs in it, while the current window does not.

I cannot change Window 2 to be the current window. There is no obvious function on the page, nothing in settings and google is useless - I just get pages of discussion of how to tab between different apps on the desktop.

How do I make Window 2 the current window? See image.

Thank you

My homepage is totally changed now that Bellsouth.net became ATT.net. I can't remove News and SPorts and set my page up the way it was before.email, pro
