To increase the font size of TB I know I can click View, Font Size, Increase Font Size . But I need to know how to increase the font size of a received email. Its too small.

Hi!

I think this is recurring problem on this forum but I couldn't find any "good" answers... I have a couple of Thunderbirds that are crashing in my company because the last folder that the user went was a network folder that now is disconnected... How can I avoid this behaviour? How can I force Thunderbird to remember always the same local folder?

We already try updating to 102 and the problem still persists...

Thank you.

I suddenly can't click the "copy song link" item in Spotify anymore. It worked fine last week and works normally in Chrome.

It also fails in Troubleshoot Mode and after clearing Startup Cache.

I changed the header/footer in about:config, but the changes will not save. Every time I change them, they revert to something else. I need &T for headerleft, &PT for headerright, &U for footerleft and &D for footerright. Invariably it changes all the headers to &U, footerleft to &P, and footerright to &D. My only thought is that I haven't saved the updates properly. Please help! ~AM

Have been receiving security alerts for the past month or so. Now firefox is restricting my access to my printer due to a possible security problem. I have also seen an alert that a certificate for use expired last month. What can I do, or who can I talk to (cannot find any support phone number.

Hello,

I'm using Firefox 102.0 (64-bit) on Win 10. When I click on the download icon of email attachments or Whatsapp files, firefox opens the pdf files in a new tab instead of downloading them. All other file formats are downloaded correctly instead. How can I correct this problem, please?

Best regards, Giovanni

Drag-drop bookmarking broken, Firefox 102.0 (64 bit)

I do not know which update began exhibiting this apparent reversion bug, as i have just returned home from several weeks in the hospital due to a heart attack, and do not know how many updates i missed.

When doing a drag-drop of a URL from either a link on a page OR the address line at the top of the browser, I will receive a "sanity failure" error, ranging from an empty NON-URL file, to an OS error complaining about being unable to access an attempted directory destination.

If the link I am dragging is bereft of illegal characters (i.e., ":" -- a colon), the action will succeed.

If there IS a colon, the text to the LEFT of the colon will become the filename. The colon and everything to its right will be truncated. And, the file will be a zero-byte file of unknown (to me) type.

Other illegal characters in the page's Title field will produce more dramatic misbehavior.

PLEASE revert to the previous behavior (i.e., filtering the Title before creating the filename for the bookmark file)!

Earlier versions of Firefox (again, I do not know when this began) NEVER exhibited this behavior.

Lately, when I try to create a desktop shortcut from the Github website, it instead create a folder, with the correct title of the page, and what looks like a link inside, with an abbreviated website name, but is not a shortcut at all.

Example: Try dragging the address bar padlock from this page to your desktop

Welcome to Refined GitHub!

Same thing happens when I try to drag its bookmark to the desktop.

Creating the shortcut from Chrome works properly, so I assume this is a Firefox problem.

I want to resize a window, without dragging the edges around. I've read the resizing instructions and am unable to find the "resize" icon next to the address bar. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Updated Firefox to 102.0 Youtube TV stopped working. (Macbook user) I am using the web version of Youtube TV through Firefox. Youtube TV starts, allows me to select channels but then i get the never ending spinning wheel. I have disabled ad blockers, cleared the cache. Restarted Firefox, Restarted Macbook Pro. Restarted router and modem. Youtube TV is playing fine using Safari which uses the same ad blocking software.

My question: What have I overlooked? Youtube TV was working fine prior to the Firefox 102.0 update.

Recently bought a new Mac Studio running mac os 12.4. Migrated FireFox from old mac. Firefox version 102.0 will not open anything for about a minute. Message says transferring from a web page but nothing happens. Sometime it says “cannot find server.” Firefox on my other older mac on same network works fine as does Safari on new Mac Studio. Once delay period over all work well.

I've been noticing this more and more recently. I'm using Firefox 102.0 on a Mac running Monterey (12.4) with 64GB RAM. Firefox will suddenly zoom up on a screen between 400% up to 800% (I'm guessing; no way to verify this): see screenshot. This happens on random pages without my hitting any keys or clicking on anything, and I cannot replicate it. Note that I do not have screen zoom engaged, nor do I have any sort of zoom mechanism turned on in the OS. Hitting "undo" does nothing, as the browser thinks I'm trying to undo an action on the page, not a zoom. Resetting Firefox or restarting makes no difference.

Note that the screenshot is at actual size, but I have no way to control the resolution at which it shows up for you.

Hi

1st off thanks for creating a web that is open and free and all the amazing and great work you guys do!!!! I appreciate your work and organization.

My suggestion is I like to have firefox able to have my banking details readily available. Meaning I like to add my banking info from my 3 banks and paypal acc directly into Firefox. I am always paying for items through firefox web browser, and have to keep adding in my details to the website that I am buying from. e.g I will have to get my wallet and take out my card add the 16 digit number and the cvv & I got to make sure those number are correct. This is a lot of work to keep on doing every time I need to buy something its ridiculous!! It be cool to directly access my funds from my firefox browser and have direct access to my banking portal. I sure there will be a lot of issues with privacy, but I'm sure you guys can make this happen in some way.

Hi! Who do I contact to offer suggestions to improve the Collections section? Specifically, creating & offering the option to alphabatize the Headers for each group the User creates. Thank you!

Hi everybody, I never cleared my browsing history so far, because I often need to know which websites I already visited when I perform a research on Google. Having the previously visited URLs shown in a different colour is useful for my work.

However, I am wondering whether this huge amount of data could affect the browser speed and memory usage. More specifically, I have a few questions:

1) Out of curiosity, in which file of Firefox installation folder the history is saved, and where can I find it? 2) Do you think it is possible to clear ALL the browsing history, except for one specific URL? 3) Could a cluttered browsing history file affect negatively my browser performance?

Many thanks in advance for your help, Elisa

I use TB 91.9.1 with two accounts, one regular IMAP and the other Exchange via Owl (paid).

Mail merge has been my favourite plugin for years, use it a lot.

Recently with the new TB and account using Owl, if I do mail merge from the Owl account it does two problematic things that completely stop Mail Merge from working:

1. When I click send it hangs on "Copying messages to Templates folder" forever, if I then click cancel it goes to the MM settings window (the one with attachments/deliver mode/csv file settings/etc). This isn't a huge problem, but why is it hanging there trying to save to templates?

2. Then, when my settings are right and I hit send (for send later), it does the usual 1-by-1 generation of emails and then puts them in 'Local folders' outbox (not the Owl account outbox)... if I then select them to send, it fails because it tries to then send them from the other regular IMAP account for some reason (which doesn't let it, because obviously it is originating from a different reply-to address, the one I use for the Owl account).

As a result, mail merge no longer works for me (tragedy!!!)... it will work if I use 'create draft' but typically I just want them to go to my outbox for a quick check and then send them all at once.

Any fixes for this?!
