I get many messages with with unreadable text/background color combinations; near black text on a black background for instance. I searched for an hour on the web and played with themes and settings and couldn't find a way to make all received messages readable.

I realize Facebook doesn't have a spell check feature,but is there a way my browser, Firefox, which I already have spell check enabled can somehow spell check Facebook when I chat? Can someone help? Thank you.

Is there any way to set up TB to have only ONE Delete action per keypress? That does not mean a limit of one message per Delete keypress -- for example, if multiple messages are selected, then a single Delete keypress should delete all selected -- but just that the Delete key must be released and pressed again for successive Delete actions.

[Searching on this topic before asking, I noticed a number of questions regarding multiple unwanted or inadvertent Delete actions, which all seem to boil down to this question, but could not find an instance where this simple question was asked, let alone answered.]

I could not find anything in TB Settings or Config Editor (searching "delete", "keypress", "key"). There were a few suggestive Config Editor variables containing "key", but none seemed on-point. Is there any documentation on Config variables?

Hi. I cannot use stripe payments. I am using FF vLatest and have added it to the popup blocker exception list and every other exception list I can find. I have done this for http://stripe.com and for whatever website is trying to use stripe. No stripe payments ever work and I always get the same error attached. I have tried another browser and it works. How can I find out at least what is blocking the payments so I can disable it?

Since the most recent upgrade automatically pushed to my Ubuntu-like release of Linux, the menu bar of message composition is effectively invisible. If I hover over the bar I can faintly see the selections as white-on-pale-grey. I have not found where in settings to revert whatever was changed. It makes it hard to Send my messages!

This issue is happening with every newly installed add-on, but not with add-ons installed on or before Aug 3, 2024. The add-ons are installed via addons.mozilla.org. To rule out the possibility that it's happening only with specific add-ons, I also installed one of the random recommendations on that page, Augmented Steam which has 54,248 users, and it happens with that one as well.

I'll click Enable, but the prompt appears every time I restart Firefox.

What I've tried (with a restart after each attempt):

• Clear the startup cache
• Delete extensions.json
• Delete compatibility.ini
• Via about:config deleted extensions.databaseSchema and extensions.getAddons.databaseSchema
• Excluded Add-ons from syncing

I've noticed the following in extensions.json for each of the recent add-ons after restart:

• syncGUID changes to presumably random new value
• active changes from true to false
• userDisabled changes from false to true
• seen changes from true to false

I am using Firefox nightly on Android. About two weeks ago I noticed that my toolbar got moved to the bottom after some update, while address bar is still at the top. I tried looking for it in settings but couldn't find anything about toolbar, that's weird since I was able to customize it a few years ago when I installed Firefox for the first time. So I looked it up on the internet and they say that it's in Settings/Customize/Toolbar, but in my browser settings instead of Toolbar there is Address bar settings. Has toolbar's settings been moved somewhere else? It looks like in previous versions it was under Customize section.

Hi friends,

I already searched for this topic and found that there should exist a file named "msgFilterRules.dat" - but there isn't such file nowhere on the whole drive.

Looks like the message filter rules are actually stored in a file with another name...

But what's that name?

Best regards rumbero

In an effort to rid myself of a bug in Thunderbird ver115 I just installed ver127 on a seperate computer. I know there's a version 128 available but according to reports here on the forum, ver128 seems to suffer from the same probielm that I'm seeing in 115 - so for the time being, it's ver 127.

Until now I've been used to seeing a list of emails in the upper half of Thunderbird's window and also seeing the email contents in a lower window (see attached screenshot). But in ver127 I only see the upper list and I don't see the email contents if I click on them. Anyway to get the contents window back?

Hi,

I installed thunderbird in a new computer via flatpak. The computer is running PopOS 22.04 and the current Thunderbird version is 128.0esr.

I don't know if this happened after the last update from 127 to 128 or was like this before, but on the compose window all the menus and buttons on the top row are completeley invisible, white on white (if I hover over them, then they are slightly visible). See the first 2 images.

The main window is OK and everything is readable (see 3rd image).

I don't know how to change these colors.

Any help will be appreciated.

Hi

In Thunderbird version 128, the table view displays the subject line with different font colors based on tags, as shown in the example below.

https://assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/media/uploads/images/2024-07-30-07-16-08-b0bfa9.png

I’ve seen at Thunderbird's release notes that Thunderbird supports displaying different font colors based on tags in the card view, as shown in the example below.

https://assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/media/uploads/images/2024-07-30-07-28-44-d4881a.png

However, in my card view, the subject is displayed in white font, and only the tag label is highlighted, as shown in the example below.

https://assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/media/uploads/images/2024-07-30-07-20-48-f841b4.png

I would like to know if the card view in 128.0.1esr (64-bit) on Windows 11 has the capability to display the subject line with different font colors based on tags. If it does, could you please advise on how to configure it?

I stopped using Firefox because of the level of BS Big-TEch involvement and lack of PRIVACY. I've been using BRAVE. But they are'nt much better. So I'll switch between as I feel fit. Just so you know. My recent irritation is Shortcuts. I like the speed and convenience of CHOOSING & USING my shortcuts.

I do NOT like the option of "sites you save or VISIT" That is NO option. I DO not want YOU choosing to save every site I VISIT and loading onto my screen. This is not a choice. Just because I visit a site WHY do you save it to shortcuts? It's a PITA deleting crap I don't want.

You should ONLY save the sites I CHOOSE to add.

Not rocket science. WHY DO YOU CHOOSE TO DO THIS?

The Internet It's becoming less and less about what I want to know (Trying to get relevant search replies is harder than ever) and more about what you want to know about me.

MALWARE ? When you are collecting more data than you know what to do with it is Oppressive.

I can see my current usage of Firefox being cut short again at the point of annoyance with this parasitic tech.

Oh and the proccess of creating an account and passwords blah blah just to ask a question that changes sweet FA...... No wonder there's anger. Idiots.

There are 32 shortcuts on my home screen - 4 rows of 8 each. However, I accidentally "dismissed" one shortcut - now there are 31 total. I cannot figure out how to restore a shortcut. Is the solution in about:config (browser.newtabpage.pinned)?

Is there anyway to configure network.http.rcwn.enabled to false via the policy located in the ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\distribution'' folder?

Is Firefox now a complete tool of Google ? about:preferences#search there is no way to delete google as search engine I have startpage and duckduckgo as alternative options listed and I can remove them, but google cannot be removed as the REMOVE button is not highlighted in case of Google. Why do you hardcode Google as the default browser for the URL bar ?

From the attached image you can see that the "Remove Tab" is inactive specifically for google. I tried absolutely all advice on the net, and nothing works. Firefox now seemingly FORCES us to use google. This behavior was not present in the previous firefox version I used. It immediately happened after update to 128.0.3 (64-bit).

Is google now hardcoded into firefox ? If so it is time for a hard fork in the firefox code. Hopefully it is not needed.

In addition Google was ruled to be a Monopoly today by a federal judge,

https://apnews.com/article/google-antitrust-search-engine-verdict-apple-319a61f20fb11510097845a30abaefd8

So it would be better for Mozilla/Firefox to not continue the monopoly and become an enabling party in monopoly lawsuits.

After uninstalling and reinstalling Thunderbird, two sound files now play sequentially whenever a message arrives. Formerly, only one sound file played. I can't find the setting to fix this.

I have two outgoing SMTP servers. I need one server configured for each mail box. (Email account associated with the SMTP server must match the email account of the sender.)

How do I/Is it possible to configure nine (9) SMTP servers?

"Przeglądarka jest zarządzana przez Twoją organizację " taka informacja jest po zainstalowaniu przeglądarki - była ona przyczyną dla której na jakiś czas odinstalowałem Firefoksa gdy sie pojawiła po kolejnej aktualizacji. Co to znaczy ? Jestem osobą prywatną i nie chcę by moja przeglądarka była przez kogoś administrowana. Jak usunąć tę "Twoją organizację" z MOJEJ przeglądarki z Mojego komputera?

I like customizing everything, and when i used Outlook, when i rightclick on a email i could chose immediatly to send that mail forward to someone.

but in Thunderbird, i get :

mark as unread - answer - ( here would send forward be nice ) - archive - marks as not wanted - delete.

is it possible to change archive to , send forward :)

not a biggy, just if someone knows how to do it.. that would be nice :)
