I had trouble during the installation of Thunderbird, it would not connect to my email account with Xfinity. However, I could connect via the web.

Finally, I tried the manual route and there (accepting all given entries) I was able to connect with Xfinity just fine. I hope this helps others. I think there may be a bug in the installation process.

I am starting to use the new utility which allows me to group tabs. But I would like to see only the name of the group and not the whole list. How can I collapse the list of tabs which belong to a group leaving only the group name shown. Then with a click I should be able to see the corresponding list of tabs if I need it. Saving and closing a group is not a solution, as the group disappears from the Sidebar. Thank you for your help. Best regards Ray Ballisti [edited] @bluewin.ch Switzerland

How do I save my open tabs while compacting my inbox? They all disappear after compacting. I am trying to move my open tabs over to a different folder to preserve them, but I can't figure out how to do it.

When I choose an open tab from my Inbox to move it to a different folder, the folder choices on the left side of the interface go away. I there a way to move between folders? Drag /drop?

I've had the icons change position since 2 hours ago. I use my keyboard (the arrow keys) to use the search engines that I want to. I want to change it back, how do I do it?

Hi,

Ever since I had to reset my phone's settings to troubleshoot another app, Firefox keeps dumping all of the thumbnails for my tabs seemingly every day now, even if I keep it open and give it unrestricted battery access.

This did not used to happen and is exceedingly frustrating.

I am a Samsung Galsfy a22. See attached image for my software details

As a note, I know this may sound hostile, but 'keep less tabs open' is not a welcome or helpful answer. When I tried to search this, that was the only 'answer' I saw given to some other user who had this issue years ago. As I said, this only happened after my settings got messed up, so I know something is off, as it used to work fine

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

I've put over 12 years into using Firefox. I've put with all the broken sites and all that. It appears Mozilla is very proud of this horrible new feature where, when you start typing, it moves the typing to the search bar for some strange disorienting reason. I have turned this ugly feature off with about:preference and about:config options before, but it now appears Mozilla is dead set on inflicting this terrible feature upon us and it can no long be turned off. It's also inconsistent. A fresh browser that opens to my home (DDG) page will search in the SEARCH BOX as appropriate. But any new tab, which also opens my home page (DDG) will search in the address box.

It's the straw that broke the camel's back. I've had it and will look to Chrome again and how to strip all the nasty privacy problems out of that. I'm not sure why Mozilla took their product in this dreadful direction and decided that users should not get choices anymore, but here we are. Farewell Firefox, I will miss you.

There is no way I can make my FF into a default browser and showing some old exe files from old FF's leaves me with no comprehension to do anything. I follow the three steps properly ending with the FF icon in the browser box. That does nothing - unless I need to acknowledge its done, but where do I do that?

Starting this morning, only one of my three Earthlink email addresses I have set up in Thunderbird is downloading email from the Earthlink POP server. I have verified there are messages using the Earthlink app and web mail. It seems to contact only that one email address host and not the other two. It seems it is not even looking for messages to download on the other two. If I right click on the email account in the left bar and select, "Get Messages", nothing happens in the bottom status bar for those two, but the third shows it contacts the server. All worked fine just yesterday. I am running Windows 10 and Thunderbird Portable. I am using McAfee AV. What can I do to get those two email accounts to work with the server again? Thanks!

I have a new laptop and did a backup of my files on the older laptop (Windows Home) and restored them to the new laptop (Windows Pro). Then I installed Thunderbird on the new laptop and I already had e-mails on it. But there are thousands of e-mails in the wrong folders.

The Windows Home has Thunderbird 128.10.oesr (32 bit) and the Windows Pro laptop has Thunderbird 128.9.2esr (64 bit). What should I do? Should I uninstall Thunderbird on the new laptop? Then what?

I need to do something with a profile folder, right? But what?

Please help.

It's a mess right now.

What does this mean? being updated by another instance

Is this why my FF is running godawful slow today?

Pages coming up in 20 to 60 seconds or more instead of in a second or two.

This will be a long question and in 2 parts, so I'll apologize up front.

1. I am running FireFox on my 11-year old MacBook and love it (MacOS Mojave version 10.14.6). However, my printer just crapped out, and my new HP 9120e requires MacOS Big Sur (11.x.x) or later. If I update to that OS, will I still be able to use FireFox? If so, where do I find it (see Question 2, below)?

2. Since my old MacBook is clearly reaching the end of it's life and my Excel and Word apps are also ancient, I am trying to transfer all my stuff onto a "New" MacBook that is running MacOS Monterey version 12.0.1. However, the "New" computer (I will not say "improved") has been a reliability nightmare and I just had it in for service. They wiped my disk clean to install the Monterey OS. So, other than Safari, I have no browser (or anything else for that matter). When I go to the App Store to download FireFox, and don't see it anywhere. Help!

This lasts possibly 3 seconds. It has an email logo and a high pitched sound. It just flashes on, not long enough to read, just long enough to be annoying. The location is always on the Top Right corner of the display. I have all notifications and web push blocked in Firefox preferences. System is Mac, OS 12.1
