I want to use Firefox on my wife's Windows laptop, but with her own settings, bookmarks etc. Can I create a second profile, or do I need to create another account?

Is there a way to make firefox require a device sign in every time that you want to access a password. Otherwise it is only required after the app is quit, not if the screen turns off of the computer goes to sleep, at least that's how I understand it. I already have checked the require device sign in to manage or fill passwords box and the functionality still isn't as expected.

I am trying to use Firefox secure passwords. I can create a secure password, update it when asked, but it doesn't autofill the password when I try to log in. I have the "Autofill User Name and Passwords" box checked in Firefox Preferences. I am on a MacBook Air using Firefox.

A bit of background, I have been working on systems since the Commodore Vic 20, so I'm not 'new' or would typically be helpless as many are if they have system problems.

Over the last week I decided to format my Mac and re-install the operating system. I have a lot of graphics design that I will be doing for an unknown period of time. I have over the years collected many free fonts and I started installing them about 5 days ago. I don't believe my installing fonts wouldf have affected anything within Firefox, but Firefox is the only browser that I'm having this problem with. I checked Safari and google displays everything as it should as well; my graphics deisgn software forums are displaying fine. I have not used google for anything during the period that I was installing the fonts, so I don't know exactly when this started but yesterday I discovered it.

I tried going to the menu on the top right hand corner -> Help -> More Troubleshooting Info -> Refresh Firefox. I then went into MacCleaner Pro -> Clear Cache and Clear Purgable Data. Then restarted the machine. No change.

I then saved my passwords and bookmarks, then uninstalled Firefox using MacCleaner Pro and then went to Remove Remaining files.

Downloaded a new copy of Firefox and the problem still exists.

I tried changing the theme to others. Went to Settings -> General -> Language and Appearance. Set theme to dark, then back to automatic. Changed the main font from (Default) Times to Times New Roman and back to (Default Times) ... but still this problem exists...

Help... Please and thank you.

Hello,

We have MBOX mails sized by 46,321,930 KB and exported from Gmail account to store and save to see anytime. I understood this MBOX file only can be opened and see the contents through Thunderbird. We have a few questions to use this program properly. See the questions below and answer, please. 1. This file has been imported and visible with the same file name and the quantity of the 30,044 emails sign. However, the contents are not shown up after we click the file through Thunderbird. The contents were actually popped up a few days ago and currently are not visible at all. Please explain this happening and let us know how to manage these contents to check. 2. Even though we make these MBOX files imported in the Thunderbird program, we couldn't make sure that it is possibly open to see since it has disappeared in the program as said in a 1st question. We currently have this MBOX mail in the computer and would like to keep it in an external hard drive to open this file to see in the future. We wonder if it is possible to import anytime and on any device if they download the Thunderbird program and have the same MBOX file.   3. We are not familiar with the MBOX format, and Google didn't let us export the whole quantity of the 64GB emails (there are missing emails in specific beginning periods which are not able to be seen as the same as the emails at the Gmail account). We would like to know if we could trust this MBOX and Thunderbird program with no more missing emails. 

We might need to make a call to discuss more about the program and the file after checking your response.

Thank you. Best regards, Stella

Dear Thunderbird.

Few minutes ago I did the update to 128esr Nebula, at first glance, it look pretty great...

But after the installation I found out that Antidote 11 is not compatible with this new version... DO you have an idea if something is in work so it will be compatible pretty soon ?

thanks ... for your great work a benoit

In my new setup on T-bird POP, is there any justification for the Trash folder appearing twice, once as non-local folder and once as a local folder? Or is this just an artifact of having an IMAP option as well? There is no such thing as a downloaded Trash item, right? So in a logical sense, shouldn't the Trash folder in non-local be removable on POP, or just automatically disappear when POP is selected? There are no other folders duplicated between local and non-local, so the duplication just looks odd and confusing, even though it may be of little or no functional consequence. Is there no way to eliminate one of these two folders, perhaps the non-local one?

So many topics where links are broken and instructions (no longer) apply. Can anyone please help?

Thunderbird 115.12 esr on OSX is told (or should be told) to show all received messages as plain text only, and only send email as plain text.

The font, size, line width/length, and line height of print, folders list, message list, and message text needs changing.

I wish to have everything (print, folders list, message list, and message text) to always be Atkinson Hyperlegible, 12 points, 1.2 line height.

I wish received and sent messages to show on screen with a line length of 100 characters.

I wish printed emails to fill the page width, so no cap at 100 characters.

How do I do this? Thank you for helping a vision impaired !

As of today in Firefox Nightly for Android the buttons noted in the subject line above have now taken up a section of my screen instead of being tucked away in a menu, which is my preference. I cannot figure out how to put it back as I have no need for these to be persistent in any way. Please instruct me on how to reassert the previous settings.

Navigation bar in latest nightly (130.0a1) is split into two toolbars, this cannot be customized.

"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?

Good Morning,

I am having trouble with my email flow of traffic. I can send out an email but I can't receive an email. I used to use this program so I am a returning client from Boardview Advertsing. I know very little about POP/IMAP things nor how to fix things. Is there any way I can speak with an actual person about this as I'm supposed to jump back in with Boardview Advertising, and apparently no one is receiving my emails.

Really sorry but please can someone help me?

Regards,

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.

The second attached image is from this video:

On my new T-bird installation, I cannot find a way to add Send-Receive as a customization of the toolbar area, nor do I find so far any other way to send-receive, aside from interval-based automatic sending and receiving, and of course composing and sending a new email. Em-client has an easily accessed send-receive button, as does my long-time Outlook desktop client.

Beginning just this morning (July 12) when I open received messages (from my inbox) they open as if they are messages to be sent, and in a strange format that is completely different from the plain text and images I've seen for decades. There are boxes with colored lines around elements of the message and an unexpected black-on-white formatting toolbar which is bizarre given that the message I've opened is received and not a new message to be sent. I've not been able to find guidance for what to do to fix this. I have the same issue on separate computers, one running Windows 10 and one running Windows 11.

Edit 1:26 pm Maybe the gremlins left early for the weekend?? the problem totally disappeared. Messages open as before, not as messages to be sent, no more weird boxes, toolbar gone. On both computers, with no changes to settings.

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.

Regular download works fine, but when I try to download attachment in outlook.live.com website, it didn't ask me where to store it, but simply places it in my default location, while at the same time opening the attachment even though I only want to download the file.

TB is taking up 11GB on my disk. I want to keep everything on the server (IMAP), but restrict what is synced locally. In settings, I've reduced the sync period from Forever down to 400 days. So now, how do I clear off from my laptop the messages over 400 days old, which still keeping them on the server? Quite a few other posts refer to this, but I can't find one that's really clear.

Many thanks.
