Hello,

 An update or two (maybe more?) ago, the plus sign with which we add shortcuts to the Firefox browser home page/new tab page disappeared, so now we can no longer add shortcuts on the home page/new tab page.  Please help.  I am running Firefox Version 129.0.2 (64-bit) on a Windows 11 Pro 64-bit if that makes any difference.  Thanks.

Yesterday, I get a screen popup that says" Outlook(formerly Hotmail)" Saying Hotmail will now be Outlook.

I've had Hotmail for maybe 30+ years now? I've always had Firefox open to my inbox, which is Outlook and has been for a year or better.

Since yesterday it will not open up to my inbox. It opens to the MS website showing what I wrote up above and a picture of Outlook.

I've deleted cookies and cache. Also history. Even though I point it to my inbox it just goes to that advertisement. I have the stay signed in box checked and don't show this again. But it does show again and again. I hope there's a way to fix this, pretty sure it not a Firefox issue. Just hoping someone else has had and and found a way around it.

Thanks Daniel B

I just updated to the latest version of Thunderbird after not updating for well over a year now, so I'm late to the "hate on Thunderbird devs" party. The font changes, as I'm sure have been mentioned a million times, is a disaster. I've already wasted several hours on this.

I managed to fix the core font size issue with, which fixed MOST of the problems:

layout.css.devPixelsPerPx = 1.12

However, I can't figure out how to increase the row height of the message area. If I switch from Compact mode to Default, everything in the folder pane gets far too big (and, yes, I reset devPixelsPerPx as a test) and the message area rows are too tall.

In addition, I want a few pixels at the bottom of the message area so that when a new message comes in, I see a few pixels of the top of the new message without having to scroll.

If you are having trouble visualizing what I want:

Per row of each message: 1px padding at the top + 18px main area + 1px padding at the bottom (i.e. 20 px total). After the last row: 3px (or so) to display just enough pixels to show the next message whenever it arrives.

Using the browser toolbox, I see that the height of each row is defined using an inline style. So I can't apply CSS to fix it globally in a custom stylesheet. Using the Inspector, I can temporarily change the inline style of a single row to "height: 20px" and it displays the row as I want it to be displayed. However, this doesn't solve the other problem of putting a few pixels at the end of the messages to display a few pixels of a new message when it arrives. I also tried modifying the selector "table[is="tree-view-table"] & td" to hardcode a 20px height and added a 3px padding to the bottom, which works to solve BOTH problems BUT introduces a bug where switching folders no longer scrolls to the bottom of the list of messages. My guess is that Thunderbird is calculating where to scroll to based on the assumption that the row height is exactly 18px. So using CSS alone is not really possible.

What a mess.

Hi, I love the new, little weather app/temperature icon in the upper left of the Firefox home page. HOWEVER, I really want to change it to a city closer to me. I looked up how to do it, but the directions seem WRONG. I cannot hover and find any way to change locations. Is it because I'm on a Mac? or ?

Can you help me? I'm using an iMac computer... everything works, it's updated, what could be wrong?

snowski Sep 1, 2024, 18:50 CST

Emails were blocked from being sent out of Thunderbird. The solution was to change the smtp Outgoing settings, which works but only once: Telstra (email provider) recently upgraded it's security and the Outgoing Server details needed changing to "smtp.telstra.com" with Port 465, SSL/TLS, Normal Password, user name. The old default Outgoing Server was smtp.bigpond.com etc.

I deleted all the old Outgoing Server details and changed the old "smtp.bigpond.com" to "smtp.telstra.com" etc as the default. All was fine, emails could now be sent. The problem is that when Thunderbird is closed and reopened all the old smtp settings are being restored and the new SMTP settings removed/deleted. Emails now can't be sent again until the smtp settings are changed back to smtp.telstra.com etc. I've tried the advanced option and removed old smtp settings but that didn't work. Each time Thunderbird is closed the new Outgoing SMTP settings are overwritten by the old values. Is there somewhere on the C drive that I can access to delete the old settings manually or some other solution?
