For the past few months, the browser will no longer download any files. The only diagnostic that I can see is failed when the download is attempted. I have refreshed firefox and the problem remains. Chrome can download without any problems, but I used firefox for many years and wish to continue.

I am struggling to increase the very small text size viewed in both send/receive emails ... I am guessing the view size is no more that point 6. All other screen text is good and my composition texts are set at 14. Reading various posts has not resolved my problem eg https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1442091

I know that I can adjust view per email but there must be a global setting. Any help appreciated.

Hi,

I’m using Thunderbird with unified folders to manage 12 email accounts. I’d like to configure Thunderbird to hide the account folders for unselected accounts in the unified folders pane. I’ve noticed that the Postbox app does this — it only shows the folders for the selected account.

Is it possible to achieve the same behavior in Thunderbird?

Thanks

Using policies.json to manage individual profiles on linux

I'm having trouble using the policies.json file to manage individual profiles on Linux. I've come across sources that suggest placing the distribution/policies.json file in the profile folder should work, but I can't seem to get it to function as expected.

My use case is to create a separate profile that can only connect to localhost.

I have a few questions:

  • Is there a specific way to use policies.json for managing individual profiles on Linux? If so, what is the correct method?
  • Can the location where Firefox looks for the policies.json file be overwritten for a new process? If yes, how can this be achieved?

Hello - I love and always recommend firefox, thank you!

One small aspect that I frequently struggle with is the small size of the bookmarks dialog pop-up window. When adding or editing a bookmark, the window only shows a very small view of the folders which makes it hard to navigate to the folder I want to place the bookmark in.

I have search extensively for extensions and settings which could provide a larger visualization, so that more of the folder browser could be seen at once, but not found any options.

Can the mozilla team suggest any work around for this, or submit this as a request to increase the size of the viewable folder tree when adding a bookmark?

Confused. I've never used it, but Is this list meant to convey that I've used it five times, in relation somehow to Reddit and Youtube?

Are those address automatically created upon addon installation? Are they still available for use, or Is that just their way of informing me that if I want to use Relay going forward I'll have to pay?

I have run across threads with similar questions in both mozilla support and reddit, but as they are old and archived I cannot add additional info or request clarification, so here is (yet another) new one- I understand you can go into manage data in settings to delete what you want, however in mine it only shows a handful of most recent (opened today or currently open) since my settings clears history and deletes cookies upon exiting ff.

Cookies and Site Data section shows only 40.7mb of data is stored and in Manage Data only shows 8 sites... Clear Data area, with only these two boxes selected (attached) and 'everything' (time) still only around 50mb. My storage/default folder has 1005 folders and the data is over 1.5gb; I would like to manually delete all of this and as others have tried to ask, am wondering if this is ok to manually select them and delete in windows, or using windows %appdata%(?) and if so, will the sync feature (if I just clicked 'sync now') still retain all my bookmarks when I relaunch ff? Not concerned about any browsing/form history or passwords, only bookmarks.
