Hello,

I can't use the built in Highlighter anymore on locally saved PDFs. It only works on PDFs that are properly scanned in and where i can actually select the words. 2 days ago, I was still able to basically use the highlighter on all PDFs and draw on them however I liked. I haven't installed anything new or changed anything.

I also have tried to reset Firefox and reinstalled it. It's still not working.

I would really appreciate any help. I couldn't find anything based on my problems.

Thunderbird causes my machine to 'hang' from time to time, often for up to a second and usually a number of times in quick succession on each ocasion. Sometimes this happens frequently - say every 5 or 10 minutes - sometimes only after an hour or more since the past occurrance. My machine hangs completely - nothing will work, mouse, keyboard, sound, other apps etc. If I happen to be typing (into any app - including Thunderbird - when this happens, input ceases, the cursor freezes and - if the problem persists for a second or two, Windows reports "[app] is not responding" I cannot be certain, but I believe the problem occurs whilst messages are being retrieved.

This is a very serious problem as it means that I can never leave TB running as the problems it causes are not acceptable. This means I cannot deal with incoming messages without periodically re-starting TB - which is an utter PIA.

I am running Win 11 Professional on a 2-year old machine with 64 Gb of memory. I have run TB in Troubleshoot mode, I have confirmed that the problem occurs regardless or whatever other apps are running (or none) and I have proven conclusively that no other app causes any kind of similar problem.

Looking forward yto hearing if others have had the same issue and what can be done about it.

I've been trying to figure out how to turn on the free VPN within the browser - (using this link: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/built-in-vpn?utm_source=www.firefox.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=whatsnew-150#w_turn-on-vpn-in-firefox)...

...but I can't find the VPN set up prompt or VPN icon anywhere in the tool bar. I've explored customizing the toolbar, even, to see if it's there, but it's not. Am I not eligible? (I am in the US and not in "enterprise" as far as I know)

Please help me turn on this free feature. I'm not sure why it doesn't seem to be working on my Firefox (version 150.0 aarch64).

Thanks!

I've spent +90 minutes trying to find, add, & activate the new, free version of the new FF VPN from the 150 update. I get stuck in a circular loop that tells me to do the same, unsuccessful task over & over. We know what doing the same, unsuccessful task over & over & over, while expecting the correct response, but getting the same, wrong answers is called: the definition of insanity.

I'm no I.T. engineer, but I have been working on Windows OS computers since 1994. I've never felt like an idiot when it comes to working on & troubleshooting computers...until today.

There is a enterprise download for windows and Apple but i do not see a download option for Linux from this site. https://www.firefox.com/en-CA/browsers/enterprise/

But there is a download for the ESR version from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/

Is there a reason why Linux is not on the main enterprise download page ?

We have bought a new computer from our tech guy before. This time, all was fine except for the Thunderbid calendar. The 20 GB of email files are all there and email still works. Only the calendar is blank. Our guy admits he dislikes Mozilla and rarely deals with it. Is there any way we can find the contents of the calendar? The old computer is still here in our house, but we only have one monitor. I had birthdays, lots of birthdays setup as repeating events. I hate to lose that.

This is odd as we didn't lose anything the last time we bought a new computer from same guy. We already were running Windows 11, so that is not the issue.

Hello Mozilla, FireFox in my default browser, but since you last update to 150.0, now my outlook won't open the hyper links from e-mail with them. It worked just fine between the two before. Now I get a message " this operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this compute. Please contact your system administrator." I am the administrator! anybody else report this issue since? I've tried all the internet advised fixes of changing the regedit registers from FIREFOXhtml to just htmlfile, but no joy. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Kind Regards Edward England, UK

Since we are most likely stuck with the new UI, can we please have a few option add to make it more usable to top bar users? 1) Have the menu attached to the top of the screen instead of bottom, so the back/forward/share/refresh are on the same level as the menu button as before. 2) Option to move History/bookmarks/downloads/passwords to above the bookmark page button under the back/forward/share/refresh line for easier reach when hitting the menu button. 3) The old tab screen could be swiped down to close, the new can't, please add a close X where the tab button is or allow for swiping down again to close the tab page.
