When I'm trying to login to Sync my Firefox account, I'm getting a cors error after putting in my email address and clicking the sign in button. This is on a new profile with no extensions installed on 150.0

The question says it all. I have set up a primary password. On my laptop, I am asked to enter it when I look up a password on my password list. When I look up a password on the mobile app, I am not prompted for the primary password. I can reveal or copy any password. It seems like anyone who got access to my phone could get all the passwords.

When I open Firefox, my main tab goes back to the homepage. First, search or bookmarks or any link do not load and revert to the homepage instead. However, on my second attempt, everything works fine. This bug happens every time I restart the app or close it. Please address this problem quickly, as I am using Firefox for Android downloaded directly from the Google Play Store, and I have the latest version, 150.0. I initially reported this issue in version 149.0.1 and would appreciate a quick fix.

I used to be able to reorder email accounts using drag and drop but it doesn't work any more. How is it done now?

Another answer said the order was set in prefs.js. If I remember from Windows 95, that was a configuration file? Where will I find it on Windows 11?

The problem has arisen because I have had to change my main Google account. A gamer (I suspect) wrote a bot taking money from my Google Play account. In resolving that, I created another account so I could abandon the other. However Google security saw my behaviour as suspicious. My "appeal" was upheld, but creating the account again on Thunderbird didn't trigger the security popups. The only way I could do that was to force the account manually. That put it after Local Folders, which I usually want open.

[Tried to make 'after' italic - don't get how it works, sorry.]

Firefox for Android bookmarks not syncing, now all lost

My Android Firefox bookmarks were never properly syncing from my desktop Firefox. Probably due to an old version on the very old computer (not possible to update). Those were the desired set.

Today I thought I'd be smart and make backups of the desktop bookmarks (both HTML and .json). Then I deleted all the bookmarks from my Android phone.

But I can find no way to manually import those backups to my Android phone! So now I have NO bookmarks.

Since sync doesn't appear to be an option, is there any way to get my bookmarks back?

Hello! No real issues or bugs to report, but I had some curiosities about independent audit documents. I appreciate the dedication to privacy and transparency, as I am sure many do; I've noticed that there are readily available audit documents for the Thunderbird Send and K-9 which is cool - are there any such audit documents for Thunderbird Desktop for Linux, or do the aforementioned documents sort of cover the same thing? If you could help me understand this (or perhaps point me to information or docs I missed), that would be appreciated!

Thanks for your time, --Mark
