I have three accounts on X/Twitter that I frequently have to switch between. I've just recently migrated to Firefox, but I've found that I cannot switch between these accounts. Whenever I click on another account in the account switcher, it stays on the account I am currently logged into.

Attempted solutions:

  • Refreshed Firefox (temporary fix)
  • Uninstalled uBlock Origin (temporary fix)
  • Uninstalled all extensions (temporary fix)
  • Clear cache/cookies
  • Troubleshoot mode

Hello,

Since the latest update of Firefox (version 135.0.1) when writing an e-mail the lines keep dropping down automatically at random intervals.

The e-mail host we are using is Polaris Mail, which is through our website provider.

To make sure it wasn't an issue with polaris mail, i have logged into our emails through microsoft edge and they have worked perfectly fine.

I have attached a picture for reference.

Kind regards

Hello. I have two questions about settings. 1. I want to hide the "Take Screenshot" option from the Firefox right-click menu. 2. I want to hide the "Original Profile" option from the options that appear when you click the Firefox hamburger menu.

I'm asking about these two points. 1. I'm trying to hide the "Take Screenshot" option, but I couldn't find a solution even after searching. about:config ↓ extensions.screenshots.disabled ↓ From true to false ↓ Even restarting Firefox didn't hide the "Take Screenshot" option. 2. Regarding hiding the "Original Profile," I can't find any information about this option, so is it impossible to hide it? I'm asking about these two points.

Hi,

Firefox version: 139.0.4 (64-bit) OS: Windows 11

I have been having issues where Firefox tab will just crash out for no reason it appears and it happens at random times and once the tab start to crash, and I restore it, it will crash again and again. The only way tog et out of the loop is to restart Firefox.

I have tried: Refreshing/Reset, Clearing Cache and History removing all themes, disabling extensions, disabling my anti virus. Turning off hardware acceleration didn't make any different.

I currently have 2 extensions enabled: uBlock Origin 1.64.0 and Bitwarden Password Manager 2025.5.0

In the about:Crashes I have reported them all and they seem to have the same type of reasons in the Raw data/Minidump which are: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_WRITE EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_READ

Any help as to what to try next?

Hello,

I am having an issue where my google account half logs out after every session. My gmail remains logged in, but google search does not. Google drive (and this is the main issue), is stuck so that it can see the files of my account, but insists I'm not signed in.

When I attempt to login and retry nothing happens and it remains in the loop. Before today I have been able to open documents only accessible when signed in on google drive by going to the direct link. This is now intermittantly thinking I am not signed in but mostly working.

Things I have tried:

  • Troubleshoot mode does not fix this problem.
  • My firefox is up to date.
  • I have seen this with no extensions or ad blockers.
  • I have seen this both with and without cookies from google allowed.
  • Screenshots attached from when I talked through this with google support. They said it was a problem on your end and can't do anything.
  • This can be solved by logging out of all accounts and back in. But this is not an acceptable solution.

For the past 2 months I've found it very difficult to sign into my Hotmail account using Firefox. Microsoft keep telling me to use a VPN or another device. I like answering emails on my computer because of its large screen. I've tried signing in about 2000 times now. Firefox told me they can't help me because I'm not a Mozilla subscriber even though they own Firefox. Microsoft told me it's Mozilla's problem. Can anyone help me please. John in the Philippines.

Back in November 2023 I had the misfortune of a software engineer not doing his job correctly and he reinstalled the OS on my laptop instead of repairing some software that wasn't functioning correctly. Mercifully, I have had Microsoft support working on recovering my data, which has proved a tremendous task. 4 months and counting.


We have now finally managed to recover my passwords for my browsers, but they are encrypted. Microsoft Support have therefore asked if Mozilla do a decryption tool as they cannot open the file without it being decrypted first. If I was using Microsoft Edge, they would have been able to assist as that is a Microsoft product, but as Firefox is a third party application, they've asked for assistance. By the way, these are NOT scammers or hackers 'helping' me, but Microsoft support and I get everything emailed about our support etc.

Thanks in advance.

I set the about:config settings when I got the new computer early last year. It's been working fine. Suddenly, searches are popping up again to the urlbar.

browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar is still set to false. Keyword.enabled is still set to false.

I see a couple of site references to browser.fixup.alternate.enabled, but it doesn't exist.

How do I get FF back to proper search in the search bar?

I am attempting to report that Yahoo Finance is broken. From this URL, I use the "report broken site" feature:

https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/DEO/

When I fill out the information and hit "send", nothing happens. The "report broken site" screen remains active. Hitting Send multiple times has no effect.

I've tried using this feature for other pages, and it appears to work; but it won't work for this site.

Can anyone suggest why that might be? Is it a byproduct of the site's being broken?

Thanks.

Reguarly with some month between I can´t send email. After many days, which is impossible to use, it is ok without doing anything.

Haven´t manage to send in many days and now it is huge problem.

When I click on send buttom on the email come text about the fail which is 100% wrong.

It say: An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: (then come my email adress): Sender adress rejected: not owned by (the part of my adress in front of @) Please check the message recipient (my email adress) and try again.

This text is 100% wrong because all things is as always! Never changed it. And seeing it in setting it like it should be!

I am almost given up, this come always with months between and that is hopeless.

Please help!

Up until recently Bing Maps in the UK has the option to display Ordnance Suvey Maps and the function to measure distance.

Now, using Firefox, Bing Maps display a Beta version with very limited functionality. Using Microsoft Edge, Bing Maps have all the functionality that I expect.

Has something changed within Firefox that has caused this problem? Is there something that can be done to allow Bing Maps to work correctly from within Firefox?

Signature image fails to load if "from" account is changed in the compose window

I have multiple accounts in Thunderbird. I use Unified Folders for inbox. If I click "New Message" while in the Unified Folders view, the message will send from my default account, which is bill@billbauman.com. But, if I want to change my send from account to bill@ntur.ai, where I have a signature configured, the image in the signature fails to load. But, if I change my focus to select the inbox for bill@ntur.ai and click "New Message", the default send from account is now bill@ntur.ai, and the image in the signature loads just fine.

The image is publicly hosted and loads fine in any browser: https://images.int.dreamhosters.ai/account-482257/ceb3563cdab64978.jpg

I tried to make this as simple as possible for debugging, so I change the signature to just the image. Here is the code: <title>Email Signature</title>

I am running Thunderbird 147.0.2 (64-bit) on Windows 11.

I can make a screen recording demonstrating the behavior.

Does anyone have a solution for this?

Thanks all in advance!

I have a local folder which has 90 folders within it. These are folders brought over from Eudora (the mail system I used before Thunderbird). It would help me if I could easily move all 90 from their current "Eudora" folder to the big "main" folder that Thunderbird has. To make it clear what I'm asking, here's an example, using two folders, Danbury and Fritz.

D (folders whose names begin with D) Eudora folder, which has two folders - Danbury and Fritz F (folders whose names begin with F)

Is there any way to move the 2 folders that are currently within the "Eudora" folder so that they're "first level" folders. In other words, Danbury would be among the "D" folders and Fritz would be among the "F" folders.

The only way I know to achieve this is by manually creating the new folders, moving the items from the old folder to the new folder, and then deleting the old folder. This is cumbersome.
