I have some websites that require pop-ups. I cannot get them to work in Firefox on my Android phone. Google searches reference a setting under "privacy and security" where I should be able to allow pop-ups in general or for certain URLs only, but I don't have that setting option.

I have Firefox version 139.4 if that helps.

Thanks in advance, Paul

The Local Folders Account has a setting to set the Message Store Type. By default it's set to "File per folder (mbox)". How can I switch to Maildir?

Note that in global Settings, I have already set up the Message Store Type for New accounts to "File per message (maildir)". But I can't create a new local folder account.

Hi everyone I use Thunderbird Portable on an external SSD. I switch between a Windows 10 and a Windows 11 computer. On the Win11, I am experiencing some issues. When I run TB, sometimes the app "loses memory" and it opens as the first time, although the local folders seemingly should have all the emails (some folders have appropriate date and time, and the total size of the folder is OK). But I have no possibility to recover these emails. I tried to import them, but there always is some problem. I tried to copy all the folders in a previous (working) backup copy of TB, but still doesn't work.... how can I fix this?

latest versions of firefox (now at 140.0.1) keeps opening onto my 2nd monitor which is off - how to stop it doing it. Tried making new profile which works for awhile, but sooner or later they all bump it to the 2nd monitor and it never comes back - tried moving to primary and closing it there, but next time back on #2. Open 2nd window while first is on primary, and that goes to 2nd monitor...

Firefox has just introduced wallpapers for browser home page. I cannot get it to work. It's either cropped too small or pixilated, is there a setting I need to adjust, or a particular image format? So that it looks ok.

I just updated to version 140.0 and now my subfolders are out of order. Is there a fix for this, short of fixing it manually? I miss how they were automatically alphabetized. That went away when manual reordering was implemented. I can't grab a bunch at the same time and move them, since the order is so messed up.

My desktop computer died, so I needed to copy all my data files from backup (which worked fine) and then install all the apps that I regularly run on my laptop. When I installed Thunderbird, I got the latest Release 139.02. It behaves very differently from what I think is called the "Classic View" that was running on my Desktop. I REALLY hate it, but can't figure out how to set the Thunderbird parameters to do that. My problems include:

-- Overview of Thunderbird "Views". I can't find any documentation that explains [a] the various viewing options that Thunderbird offers and [b] EXACTLY how to set them.

-- Release Notes. I haven't found any release notes to explain when/why a major change to view was done.

-- Periodically, even for same release, Thunderbird CHANGES my parameter settings. Most annoying is changing the General Message-List settings to "Show Only Display Names For People in My Address Book". I live in a retirement community where many husbands & wives share the same Email address. With this setting, Thunderbird shows the name associate with the first message I received from this Email address. So the heading doesn't show which person actually sent it (although I can make a good guess when Thunderbird is telling me it came from a dead person. [g]

Is there ANY way I can get Release 139.0.2 to display messages the way I've been seeing them for at least 10 years? I REALLY need help. (If I can't get Thunderbird to behave the way I want, seem like I might as well switch to reading/writing messages directly from Google Gmail web site. It's equally lacking in documentation, but I suppose that eventually I could figure it out.)

Thanks in advance for any help anybody can offer.GMail, I'd seriously consider switch to using Gmail directly without Thunderbird.)

Hi guys. It used to be that when I read an email and click the delete button, the tab would close and it would return to the folder the email was in. But since the last update, it just shows me the next email in the folder.

Is there a way to change that? I want to return to the folder after an email was deleted. I don't want to look at the next email.

I looked in settings everywhere and if there is a way to change that in settings, I can't find it.

Thank you so much in advance for your help.

Recently, after upgrading to 140, I noticed that text replacement on MacOS (Sequoia, here) seems to be functioning differently within Thunderbird; differently than in other apps I use.

What's happening is when I type a known shortcut, say "pr", the modal for the replacement pops up; if I continue typing my preferred word, the text replacement is simply inserted. I now otherwise have to press ESC to stop this. Before, I could ignore the pop-up modal and just keep typing -- that is what we expect in other apps, and this seems to be the case in Firefox (which I'm using now, and it works fine). This suggests there may be some change or difference in TB that is causing this unwanted behavior.

I do not see that there are any settings to change this -- but before I dig too deeply, I want to understand why this change was made and whether I have a choice or setting I can fix this -- or if it's a bug.

Thanks!

Is there a way to change the zoom of the chatbot window? it doesnt change when I adjust the browser zoom. I typically have that at 80% so the chatbot looks zoomed in which is annoying.

Some app may be trying to helpful; instead it's annoying. When typing (SwiftKey) in T-Bird (tablet and phone) SOMETHING is adding words it thinks MIGHT be helpful like "suggestions." Have to delete them to continue typing. Just started about a week ago. Do I have some setting set incorrectly in T-Bird? Any ideas what might be doing it?

I have autoconfig.js set up to run my own js file, see below. The intention is to change the keyboard shortcuts (shame that it's so difficult😃). It worked until a few weeks ago. Now it only partly works. C+J is fine. The other two succeed in deleting the existing command, and the shortcut key does nothing. Any ideas please?

// C+J = open downloads var element = document.getElementById('key_openDownloads'); if (element) {

 element.setAttribute('key', 'j');
 element.setAttribute('modifiers', 'accel');

}

// C+D = Duplicate tab var element = document.getElementById('addBookmarkAsKb'); if (element) {

 element.removeAttribute('command');
 element.setAttribute('oncommand', "duplicateTabIn(gBrowser.selectedTab, 'tab')");

}

// CS+N = move tab to new window var element = document.getElementById('key_undoCloseWindow'); if (element) {

 element.removeAttribute('command');
 element.setAttribute('oncommand', 'gBrowser.replaceTabsWithWindow(gBrowser.selectedTab)');

}

Sir/ Madam,

    It is delight to use and experience with Firefox Mozilla browser. I request to  make Firefox Mozilla as main.

When I download Firefox initially I am able to set the home page the way I want with the shortcuts I use. After a few weeks the shortcuts disappear and the only way to get them back is to delete Firefox and reinstall. I am also not able to save bookmarks anymore. This has the same resolution methods.

This has happened 3 times already.
