When the font size is increased, it becomes impossible to scroll on the screen where you choose whether or not to save your password in your account settings, preventing you from proceeding further.

I asked this about four months ago, and did not get any answer, so I am asking again. Sorry for the repetition.

Here is the problem: when I highlight a short passage of text (~3-4 words), and right-click, the context menu always shows the translation entry as "Translate to Dutch". (See first image.) If I accept that, the input language is assumed to be English, so I actually have to change both drop-downs. (See second image.)

If the passage is long enough (> ~4-5 words), the context menu will show "Translate to English", which is what I want, and as an aside, Firefox is almost always correct in detecting the input language.

I can understand it being hard to detect the input language from a short phrase, but why does the output language default to Dutch? And is there a way to change this behavior?

Thanks.

Hello, I used to have the VPN button but now I don't. I'm on Firefox v158.0 in the USA, on my personal laptop (so no enterprise policies to interfere). Here's what I've tried:

• Customize toolbar: no, the icon isn't in there either
• Start Firefox in Troubleshooting Mode
• Refresh Firefox
• Ensure "Allow Firefox to improve features, performance, and stability between updates" is on
• Sign out and back in to my Mozilla/Firefox account

I miss this feature already because it makes me feel better about using public wifi. What else can I try?

Thanks!

Hi Firefox Team and Forum,

I'm planning on using Firefox on a shared device (Windows 11 with common login shared with other people), however, I'm concerned that signing into my Firefox account and syncing the passwords will create a local folder on the shared device with the passwords on my Firefox account.

Is there a way to NOT have the passwords stored locally on the shared device? Or will the passwords be deleted from the shared device everytime I sign out from the Firefox browser?

If this is not possible on the current version of Firefox, are there any plans to implement it? Chrome can delete the locally stored passwords after signing out.

Thank you

Would you please share any Firefox-specific fix for my Windows 7 laptop.

I did exact comparison of printing (using same printer) Firefox 115.43.0 web pages (which no longer print)  and Opera version 95.0.4635.90 web pages that print fine.

I use my Brother MFC‑J895DW wirelessly with Windows 7 laptop. Firefox shows “Print Preview Error”; Firefox’s XPS file won’t open, while Opera’s XPS file opens and prints.

I also tried a fresh profile, Troubleshoot Mode, resetting printer settings, and reinstalling Firefox. Still can't get Firefox web pages to print.

FYI, my Windows 10 desktop is able to get Firefox web pages to print on same Brother device.

Thank you for your time and suggestions.

I recently updated to Firefox 158.0 on my MacOS, which is on OS 27.0.1 and all of a sudden, my Prime Video home page won't play videos. It just shows the spinny circle where I should be able to hit play, and in fact I cannot click on anything on the page. I can close it and open amazon again, but as soon as I go to Prime Video, it freezes up. I've tried deleting cookies and clearing the cache, restarting my Mac, but nothing seems to help.

Firefox 158.0 (aarch64) just installed and my Search History has changed - I seem to have lost "Yesterday" - only "Today" and "Last 7 Days" appear before the month by month display options. Cannot spot anything in the Release Notes about this. Is this an accidental change? I find "Yesterday" very useful.

Thanks. RichardT

I have multiple email accounts on Thunderbird (on MX Linux)... att.net, gmail.com and aol.com

While traveling without my computer, i had to reset my aol password on my iphone.

Now that I'm back at my desk, and being unable to find how to change the aol password on Thunderbird, I deleted the AOL imap account and have tried much of today to add a new AOL account.

In the past, I could create an 'app password' within AOL (browser) and use that password in Thunderbird... but that is no longer working.

Any guidance/suggestions?

I am running the latest Thunderbird version 140.17.0esr (64-bit) available in my MX Linux.

I was referred here from Thunderbird Bugzilla report 2081665.

We are experiencing a recurring problem with Thunderbird 153 on several Windows workstations in a business environment.

The important point is that the problem also occurs with completely new Thunderbird profiles created from scratch. It is not limited to migrated or old profiles.

On one workstation this has already happened to three separate Thunderbird profiles.

Typical sequence:

1. Thunderbird 153 is installed. 2. A completely new profile is created. 3. Mail accounts are configured manually. 4. Everything initially works normally. 5. After some time the profile begins to malfunction. 6. Thunderbird Settings no longer open/respond. 7. The address books still exist, but address autocomplete when composing a new message stops working. 8. Creating another new profile temporarily fixes the problem, but the same behavior can return later.

Troubleshooting already performed:

- Troubleshoot Mode - extensions disabled - tested without the existing prefs.js - rebuilt Thunderbird caches and profile UI state - recreated indexes/databases - completely removed Thunderbird from Program Files, AppData\Roaming and AppData\Local - clean Thunderbird installation - clean profile created from scratch - Thunderbird executable and profile paths added to Kaspersky Endpoint Security trusted applications/exclusions

Removing prefs.js from an already affected profile did not restore the Settings window.

A clean test profile initially works correctly.

We have also encountered this behavior on other workstations. Some users have more than 100 message filters and many folders, so rebuilding profiles repeatedly causes significant administrative work.

Several affected computers had Windows user accounts renamed in the past.

We also experienced a separate issue where the Attach File dialog stopped appearing while drag-and-drop still worked. Bugzilla identified this as the already known Bug 2077590, so I consider that a separate issue.

For comparison, after completely cleaning Thunderbird from an affected workstation and installing Thunderbird 115.3.1 with a clean profile, the same workstation currently works normally.

Because freshly created Thunderbird 153 profiles can later develop the same problem again, simply recreating the profile does not appear to be a permanent solution.

Environment:

- Windows workstations - Thunderbird 153 ESR - Kaspersky Endpoint Security - multiple IMAP accounts - business environment

What diagnostic information should I collect from the next affected profile before replacing it?

I can provide:

- Thunderbird Troubleshooting Information - Error Console output - profile file names/sizes/timestamps - Windows Event Viewer logs - sanitized prefs.js - comparison with a working fresh profile

I'm using TB 157.0.1 on a Mac.

When I want to attach a file to an email, I click on Shift+Cmd+A.

I want to be able to navigate to a folder where the file is, then search for the file by name within the folder I navigated to. But it doesn't quite work that way.

I navigate to the folder, enter the file name in the search field, hit Return, and TB searches my entire hard drive. How can I force TB to limit the search to the folder I navigated to?

When I hit Return (or Enter) and TB searches the entire hard drive, the window that displays search results has a field I can click on that will limit the search to the folder I navigated to, but I'd like to eliminate that extra step. I'd like to set a default when searching for a file to attach so that search is limited to the folder I navigated to.

Is that possible?

How do I set up Thunderbird so that no incoming email is automatically diverted to my spam folder?

I like TB flagging incoming emails that it thinks is spam, but I don't want TB to automatically divert any emails into the Spam folder. Is this possible?

I use four email accounts on TB. I'd like to set this up for all four accounts.

Two days ago I closed FF and went to bed. I opened it the next morning and lost about 20 tabs. Ever since then, every time I restart FF, I lose all tabs except for one default tab.

TLDR: 1. "restore previous session" is not available. 2. Toggling Settings/Home and Startup does nothing. 3. Update? My FF automatically updates. 4. "about:sessionrestore" finds nothing,

1. FF help said I could go into History and click "Restore Previous Session" but that option doesn't exist. All I can do is look at History and see lists for today, yesterday, last 7 days etc.

2. Another advisory suggested Settings, Home and Startup, select "Open previous windows and tabs". but it was already selected. So I switched it off, restarted FF and then switched it back on. I still lose all tabs every time I restart FF.

3. Another advisory suggested, checking for updates. My FF automatically updates.

4. I tried "about:sessionrestore" It returns with the heading: "Sorry. We’re having trouble getting your pages back." Restore session is greyed out and "View previous tabs" produces an empty list. I've tried it a few times now, identical result.

Thanks for any help. Cheers, Andrew

I have/had two different problems with the same results. In the first case I get the login window. I enter the password hit return and that window goes away and some times you can scroll to different opened emails before it says "Not Responding". The only action that works is to exit the app. Usually after a few days or weeks it will start working and does so for a few days or weeks. Lately the login window does not appear when the app opens and it displays the "Not Responding" message. It shows that it is "Loading Message". I have tried all of the options from the troubleshooting window and reinstalled Thunderbird with no change in response> Where do I go from here?
