I have a master password set and this works as expected. However, if I start a private window after inputting the password in the normal window, all the usernames (not passwords) are visible in the private window. This looks like a breach of privacy? I would have expected that a new private window would have to request the master password to be re-entered. Is this by design?

On PC, I used to use the addon Session Manager : http://sessionmanager.mozdev.org/ It creates files that go by the extension ".session", and I have a folder with very many of those.
I don't know if up to date session managers work with the same file type, or whether it's a standard. I am looking for an addon that can at least read and open them. And preferably, that one can save and process sessions in this file type, to keep some continuity with my old profile. And still better, some cross browser session manager, so I can open those old files in, say, chrome too.

Having upgraded from I think version 68.1 to 68.2.1., all my contacts, address book and all my emails were no longer avaiulable and it asked me to set up new profiles. I have reverted to version 60.6.1. and copied all the data from a backup fortunately made just before this happened. So I can still use Thunderbird. But - my question is if I create a new profile will all my data come back ?

Updating to Firefox 71.0 was a catastrophe. I lost all my open tags though RESTORE PREVIOUS SESSION was enabled. I had quite a while, till I figured out how Firefox really does restore previous sessions. The lost tabs though were gone.
But one problem is remaining. I can not restore closed tabs with 71.0. Ctrl+shift+T does not work anymore.
How can I enable it again Or is there a new combination for it

Today I noticed that my custom plugins are no longer working. I decided to try and re-install flash. I removed the plugins from the directory manually then started again. I downloaded the NPAPI version from adobe (pictured). I then extracted the files and copied the plugin (libflashplayer.so) to firefox's plugin path ($MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH, which for me was /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins). I then restarted firefox. However, the shockwave flash plugin is not present in the plugins tab. This is odd as it was a couple of days ago before I redid this. Sites like newgrounds worked perfectly. Back when flash was working, I noticed on some sites that used html5, it would instead try to use flash. For a whille, the openh264 was stuck on "will be installed shortly." Now when I go to those sites, it will show the thumbnail, but not play. Youtube videos still work, however. In fact, it's really the only video site that still works. Was there a dramatic change in the past couple of days or something? I didn't even update firefox myself, this happened seemingly out of nowhere. I'll post my about:support data in the hopes that it might help? https://pastebin.com/6iHkwwjz I would post here, but it said it was too long... :/ According to this article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-flash-plugin-view-videos-animations-games in theory, it should still work. However, despite installing flash and restarting firefox... no shockwave flash plugin is present in about:plugins

Thunderbird won't update from v60.9.1 (32-bit) to v68.3.0

I've had Thunderbird installed as a "Portable" application on my Thinkpad X1 (6th gen), Windows 10 Pro machine for over a year. Profile resides on a network location. Never had a problem with Thunderbird updates until today. The update fails for an "unknown reason". I've tried the suggestions in another post multiple times but no luck. I also have Thunderbird portable installed on another Thinkpad X1 (4th gen), Windows 8.1 Pro with my wife's profile also on the network. That Thunderbird has been updated to 68.3.0.
When I look at the Portable Apps site they only have v60.9.1 so I can't seem to upgrade because I'm there already. Any additional ideas would be appreciated.

Recently Firefox change to putting my saved bookmarks somewhere instead of asking where I want my bookmark to go. So now every saved bookmark requires an 'Edit Bookmark'. This is stupid - I'm never going to want the bookmark where Firefox now assigns it. How do I go back to just being asked where I want to put the bookmark in the first place?

I noticed that firefox lately hides more specific options from the character encoding settings.
For example, it now has only one option for Japanese: "Japanese". It should contain encodings such as Shift-JIS, euc-JP, etc.. I want to, and I used to be able to, specify which of the encodings I need.
The auto detection really often messes it up, and this is a huge problem when browsing old-fashioned websites.
Is there any way I can specify the encoding manually? I'm OK with digging into about:config, or even use the developer tools if necessary (for an emergency measure).

Hi,
WebGL on Mozilla Firefox is very slow compared to Google Chrome on same desktop?
Desktop specs: - Kubuntu 18.04.3 LTS 64Bit Linux OS - 500 Watt Power Supply - ASRock Q1900M Motherboard - Intel Celeron 2GHz 4-Core CPU - 16GB DDR3 RAM Memory - nVidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB GDDR5 GPU (Ubuntu nVidia proprietary display driver version 435.21)
Using the same WebGL demo, I get 10 Frames Per Second on Firefox and 45 Frames Per Second on Chrome? Any ideas what the issue is with WebGL and Ubuntu Firefox and how to fix it? Let me know, thanks!

I have a large number of folders (some containing many emails) currently in a Local Folders area that I need to move into the Imap account so they are accessible from several computers. I'm finding that the only way to do this is to drag and drop the folders, but half the time, when I attempt to do this, nothing happens.
There used to be add-ons for Thunderbird that inserted a Move/Copy folder option into the right-click menu, but I'm finding that all of them appear to be outdated and not compatible with Thunderbird 68.x.
I'm just checking to see if I'm missing something. I tried Import/Export add-on, but it errors out saying that it cannot import into an Imap folder.

I have used offline English dictionary for years with other browsers, always when I long press a word it pops up an option for dictionary definition. New phone, new Firefox, no dictionary. Have the same dictionary app installed, and tested working on Chrome. Hate Chrome. No add on from Mozilla add-on site works, have tried several now. I expect this is because they're all designed for non-Android but there is no way to just search for Android compatible add ons. Utter crap.
