Firefox updated itself recently (150.0.1) 64-bit Windows and since then we have US English and our other languages 'Real' English ;-) French and Greek disappeared. We reinstalled them but - sorry about this guys - we would like to remove US English please. I followed some advice from Google but couldn't locate the US-English Dictionary.

When I choose to bookmark a website, I am no longer offered a chance to save to where I want it saved.

FF 146.0.1. Windows 10 pro

So, now I have to bookmark a page, and open the bookmark menu again to EDIT the bookmark to move it. This is Horrible. I have to do this eachj time I bookmark a page. I am veriy organized and have dozens of bookmark folder, some with folders within folders... etc.

Onliy children need to be treated this way.

I have searched the settings and find nothing. I am not using any add-on that has anything to do with bookmark. I do not use the bookmark toolbars or other bookmark interfaces. Just the file/edit... menu "bookmarks" option.,

Has this ability been removed?

Hi have various hotmail and live accounts already active in Thunderbird. Tonight, I tried to add a new hotmail account for my mom. The hotmail account is active and working well using the microsoft web browser.

I tried to add the new email to Thunderbird and in the first stage a green box with a checkmark appears " saying Configuration found in mozilla database.

IMAP box says: Incoming Imap SSL/TLS outlook.office365.com

Outgoing SMTP STARTTLS smtp-mail.outlook.com

username xxxxx.hotmail.com

I press done, and a yellow box appears saying "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password. Now I did notice on my other hotmail accounts in Thunderbird, the outgoing says: smtp.office365.com and NOT smtp-mail.outlook.com I tried making the new account exactly like my other 5 live/hotmail accounts. Outgoing> smtp.office365.com. And still no go. The new email addy won't connect.

So I thought, maybe it's a bad email or the way I created it. So I created a NEW hotmail email address and same thing. Followed all the steps and same yellow non connect error box appears. The setup in the picture is exactly like my other accounts - and they all work fine. Has anyone tried to add a hotmail addy recently? I never had these issues when I set up the other addresses 4 or 5 years ago. Thanks guys

I've been extensively relying on the `Ctrl+Alt+X` shortcut to spin up the selected chatbot in the sidebar, but ever since I reset my pc (complete reset, cloud download of windows, clear all apps and files) and re-installed firefox, the keyboard shortcut isn't working for me anymore.

I installed firefox with chocolatey, upon noticing that the shortcut had stopped working, I tried to downgrade to v145, which didn't help either. So an uninstall and re-install later (this time manually downloading the installer exe), `Ctrl+Alt+X` still doesn't work. Although hovering over the chatbot's icon in the sidebar shows the shortcut in the tooltip.

More info: `choco uninstall firefox` created a backup of "Old Firefox Data" or something similar, could that have somehow persisted the malfunction across installs?

Any help would be appreciated! System: Windows 10 Pro Firefox: 146

Hi a few weeks ago i had the problem that my firefox-stored-passwords are gone and there are files named logins.json.corrupt and logins.json-1.corrupt to -4 The in dir backup was also corrupt. File length 122 -123 kb all nulls. If i look at the dates first to last, they span two weeks were i didnt notice the problem. PC is always hibernated after work. Except for one which i imported just before from edge at the end of the two week span No problem: logins replaced by external backup as i found here at the forum.

But: How can Firefox produce multiple corrupt files without noticing me? (I have saved them for reference) In that two weeks span logins using firefox passwords obviously worked. (I dont remember the details)

Then some updates and reboots. No problem. But after work i do always hibernation

TODAY: PC didnt survive hibernation. logins and in-dir backup are corrupt again.

What about a) checking better if something is going wrong (obiously you do something because you rename the files for some reason) b) Noticing the user c) And how on earth this can go wrong in the first place.

Now for the obscure: Both times somebody has just before posted something against the greatest President of all time at Fux Nus using this pc. Backdoor possible?

Thanks

Edit: Using Windows, no other problems with storage on the 1TB Samsung ssd

I am receiving "The page isn't redirecting properly - Firefox can't connect to server" error messages. This happens on nearly every website repeatedly for the last six? weeks. It does not happen in other browsers i.e. Chrome. I click the "Try Again" button in the Firefox error msg popup window over and over, 3-14+ times, to get past the error msg and access the site. When I try to login to many sites I am kicked out to the same error msg. Also kicked out of sites randomly when trying to navigate to another page on the same site. I had Claude AI take me step-by-step through all of the trouble shooting and adjustments to various settings. All of my extensions are off. I have had my ISP re-initialize my modem and I've run antivirus scans, still the problem persists. (Strangely YouTube does not have these problems) I love Firefox. I've got it setup just the way I like it. I have been using it for 20 years and during those two decades Firefox has been stable and had only minor glitches. I do not want to change my browser. Chrome feels clunky to me. I'm attaching three representative screen captures of the error msgs. Looking forward to anyone's help.

A few months ago I installed Thunderbird onto a new PC having previously used it on a previous PC (so I'm not a newbie).. However I'm seeing a persistent issue that I never saw before...

I've a regular contact whose name I won't specify but let's call him Roger Smith. What happens is that whenever I post something on a forum (such as this one) and somebody replies, the replies look as if they came from Roger Smith - even though he's got no connection with the actual forum.

It doesn't happen with every forum - for example it doesn't happen with this one - but it does affect most of them. Has anyone else ever reported this and is there anything I can do to correct it?
