I used THIS link to change mousewheel.with_control.action to 5, which allows for using the scroll wheel to pinch zoom. My only issue is that it is extremely cumbersome, with 3 full rotations of the wheel required for a 2x zoom. Is there any way to increase the amount per tick it zooms in by?

Ever since the updates I can't move the bar up to have a smaller window for emails and a larger window for the actual letter. I used to move it up to have the last 3 emails showing. Now the least I can have is 10, leaving a small window for the letter itself. Why? Why make updates that give us less flexibility. Sometimes updates drive people like me crazy. We get used to something and it gets changed. I have been sending in money to support this email program. But right now I'm quite discouraged with it and wondering if I should be looking for something else.

I can't find any way to group windows. Yes, "windows".

I have about three dozen windows open (yes, there are a lot of tabs in them), and not just at home. And it’s hard to quickly find your bearings when you need to switch to another task (workspace). It would be nice to at least change the color of the windows, depending on the type of work. But in the API API I don’t see the ability to define a window property where you can specify a group identifier, which can be used to restore the color after re-opening FireFox.

If FireFox had a built-in or its own reliable extension for organizing thematic work, a deferred workspace (without losing the contents of windows). Arc browser - they realized that what browsers have been denying for a decade is already overdue, and they will be able to take over the market.

I tried several extensions for saving, restoring and organizing workspaces, and came to a clear conclusion: only the built-in FireFox solution for restoring windows after a crash/opening is the only truly reliable solution. There is no trust in extensions that are not supervised by a good team of developers and testers; there is a guarantee that data will be lost in the near future.

It is possible that in recent years some expansions have been completed. I'd be glad to know about it if you point it out. But here a question arises on a separate topic: improving the mechanism for rating and testing extensions, recommended extensions program.

Hi, I'm a Firefox user since around 2004. Whenever I used FF i always opened multiple windows of FF. At some point Mozilla came out with Tabs. I don't use them and as a matter of fact I use the option under settings to open links in a new window (not tabs). Always have, Why? Habit I guess from the times I first starting using FF. I seriously don't use Tabs. I would like to Remove the Tab Bar from FF because of this reason and it frees up a lot of visual space on my browser. I've spent hours reading/searching/trying on "how" to remove or at least hide the Tab Bar. Waste of time so far, so I decided to Post the Question.

How Do I Hide or Remove the Tab Bar in FireFox?

Thanks For Everyone's Help in Advance:-)

In the menu of mailboxes, I want Local Folders to be first, before the individual mailboxes.

I can move it there in Account Settings - just drag it up there. When I do that, then go to the menu tab (mailboxes), it's where I want it in the mailbox menu, at the top.

But when I close the program and reopen, it's back at the bottom. How do I get it to stay at the top?

Is there an add-on that will do that?

Thunderbird 115.5.1 (64-bit) on Windows 10.

Thank you.

The Switch To Folder icon in the menu bar ("Switch to folder" when you hover over it, but "Folder Location" when you select it from the customize window to bring it to the menu bar) doesn't appear to work as I would expect.

If the All Folders view is chosen, then yes, using the icon brings a drop down menu and the folder window will switch to the chosen folder (most of the time anyway).

But if I do not have All Folders selected, for example I use Folder Modes "Favourites" and "Unread", then the Switch to folder will only work if the chosen folder is part of these limited views (most of the time), i.e. even if the folder I want is part of the "Switch to folder" drop down menu, nothing happens if that folder is not already shown in the left pane.

Anticipated behaviour is that Switch to Folder would switch to any folder that appears in its drop down menu, which would be especially useful if it is not already shown in the left pane due to using a filtered folder view like Favourites or Unread.

Anyone else experience this behaviour?

Thanks

Hello, I have been using Firefox as my main browser for more than a decade. One could say i am some Mozilla fanboy, having convinced many of my friends and relatives to use Firefox instead of any chrome based options (Which there are to many these days). It struck me today, as i was reworking some workflow elements in many programs i use daily, that it is impossible to change any key binding in Firefox anymore. I know it has been a while now, and i searched all over the web for an answer or a solution, but at this point it is clear that other than going in the code and recompiling Firefox manually, it is not possible. I stumbled upon the (only) extension that allows to change some shortcuts, but the two that i wanted to change are impossible to configure from it, being disabling only f12 as i would use it for other things but i do not want to lose the dev console and also ctrl+L to open the address bar, it is quite inconvenient and would much prefer to use ctrl+spacebar as it matches many other bindings i am using with other software. There have been many other features that were changed in the recent years that made me start to look for an alternative, as i see features melting away almost as quickly as the user base of the product.

I do understand that one person's problem is not going to change the way a big piece of software is working, but i am wondering, why are the users losing such features as basic as customizing key bindings in a piece of software that used to be so incredibly customizable in the past? Why is the only viable option to anything chrome based losing it's edge over the competition? Is Firefox v150 be based on the chromium engine or will it die before?

Thank you in advance, and no, i don't need the link to the shortcut page, i already have it.

Hello!

I have been using this userChrome.css code to hide the tab bar if there is only one tab (on Windows):

tab:only-of-type, tab:only-of-type + #tabs-newtab-button {

   display: none !important;

}

#tabbrowser-tabs, #tabbrowser-arrowscrollbox, #tabbrowser-tabs > .tabbrowser-arrowscrollbox {
   min-height: 0 !important;

}

Since one of the recent Firefox updates, this code does no longer work. Maybe because there is a new element in the tab bar: A drop-down list at the right.

Any idea how to make the above code work again?
