How do we (users) modify Firefox functionality to "open image in new tab" using a keyboard shortcut? A configurable (about:) parameter would be very beneficial.

If this is already solved, please publish documentation on how to solve this without the use of questionable add-on's (which introduce security risks and privacy issues).

Thank you...

I will preface this with no I do not have a backup - which is my fault. However I did not expect my account to be nuked into oblivion with no explanation.

As per the title, all my emails are gone. My local folders are devoid of anything I can use and am hoping that everything may be on a server somewhere. This is years of emails, important correspondence, bank information, business, etc. The ONLY thing I can think of is when I download the TB app for android and sync'd it using the QR on the desktop version of thunderbird. I then checked stuff the next day and everything was gone barring emails from that day, all folders, everything was gone. Is there no way to recover this?

Recently my system updated Firefox to version 149.0.2. It works great! However, it will not display my homepage which is yahoo.com. I can go to any other website and everything is normal. But when I click on the little house for "Homepage" it briefly displays and then goes blank.

This does not happen when I use a different browser.

Please advise.

Why cant I set it to always translate spanish to english??? That option is greyed out and every time i encounter a spanish page I have to manually translate it. Im getting tired of that.

Opening a link in email with control key now switches to browser (Firefox). Previously, pressing the control key when opening a link did not switch to browser. This is handy for opening multiple links in an email without switching to browser each time. Is there a setting somewhere to restore the previous behavior?

To install a Windows 10 update (I'm on extended support) I told it to update & shutdown. I fired it up this morning and Thunderbird is asking for credentials. It usually just runs & downloads emails. I enter my password, then a code from authenticator app. It shows the page below in an embedded browser window that has a checkbox and an "Agree" button. I check the box but the Agree button is still disabled. Dead end. I cannot connect & I'm stuck.

Sometimes I need to open XML files on my PC or in a network folder. If I open the file in the first tab in Firefox, it displays a neat and formatted rendering that makes it easier to read. However, if I open yet another tab, it displays a sequential text file that's difficult to read. How can I apply the style of the first tab to all open tabs? I've attached explanatory images (I hope). The second image shows how I'd like the XML file to always be displayed, regardless of the tab's position. Firefox 149.0.2 on windows 11

I cannot listen music from browser through bluetooh attached device. I ave a bluetooth speaker which I use for all apps on my laptop. Today I noticed that it does not send signal to the BT speaker but through the laptop speakers. What can I do or what settings should I change. Laptop and BT speaker are paired. Thank you!

Running into more sites rejecting FF as my browser. Latest as of 4/14/26 : https://carespaceportal.com/chart Had to click to ignore notice to switch to Chrome. Site seems to function w/ FF 149 so far when i log in. I used MS BING search points to extend my Win 10 edition Desktop computer 1 year... There was no mention about my MS Win 10 edition. I'm logged in,,Not sure why this FF page "unable to pull your browser’s troubleshooting data"....

I get the error "connection to server pop-server.triad.rr.com was reset" when running Thunderbird and then I get no email.

Don't know if it is relevant but I did try VPN beta in Thunderbird some time before the above error happened.

Regards Tom

PS I can't get any email if you respond to me there.

Hi,

This is since the last 2 updates.

I usually maintain 2-3 active windows with multiple tabs. Everytime I turn off my PC, when I turn it on again, and I open Firefox, all my windows and tabs would be restored as I last left them. And if I accidentally closed the windows, I can select reopen Recently Closed Windows.

But since the last 2 updates, after I close the window, the option to reopen Recently Closed Windows were still grey.

And it's a hassle that every time I restart my computer, I need to go to Restore Previous Session to have my tabs open again.

And if I or another user opens it and started a new tab/session without restoring, I will no longer be able to restore my previous sessions and would lose all my tabs.

Can you please tell me why the feature is changes, and is there a way I can easily restore my previous sessions without the trouble.

Thank you.

Jennifer
