According to Firefox Help, "After you have defined and set your Primary Password, you will be prompted to enter it once for each Firefox session, when Firefox needs access to your stored passwords." But since updating to version 136.0 I get asked for my Primary Password even to see my home page. Why is this?

Windows 11 23H2 FireFox 136.0.1

When clicking check for updates it firstly shows the rotating arrows icon for a long time and then says "Failed to Check for Updates"

I've completely reinstalled Firefox and this continues to happen

I do not have NordVPN or any other VPN installed

The behaviour is the same in troubleshoot mode

Firefox Android on an older Sony Xperia Android Tab (2016) still receiving Firefox updates, would you believe it, cannot access about:config page -- and yes it's about:config I'm attempting to access. Firefox adress bar icon displays site warning and freezes the page load whatever setting i try in Firefox settings.

No antimalware or such nonsense used on the device, just as fake in protecting my privacy as (foreign) gov.-sponsored whitelabel antimalware and privacy search engines -- remembering the recent Bing API-blackout that displayed a Bing search engine error message in all of the so called's etc etc

I'm not logged in on the device, as in not syncing an access all home living room device in any way. I don't need a breadcrum trail of other users leading to my accounts.

So what am I after? I don't want a stored cache of recently visited pages that apparently hog the limited memory and I want to limit the amount of 'recently visited pages'-cache stored in Firefox on Android. I want Firefox to be *pristine (beyond the moniker settings available as 'clear all' at Firefox close) each time a user picks up the tab. So, there's one or two settings under about:config limiting the recently visited pages cache to the latest visited only after closing Firefox -- lowest setting available (?) is 0, but hey, that's life.

My email messaging seems to be set at a defined format with double spacing. I prefer to use single spacing but in order to do this I have to type all the way to the end of the page and then it will automatically go to the next paragraph and will then use single spacing. I would really like to be able to format my emails with single spacing and different margins other than what I have to use now (i.e.using the entire width of the message). I cannot find any way to change this automatic double spacing and change the width of the paragraph at the same time. From the drop down list directly above the body of the message, I have tried changing from Body Text to Paragraph and back again, but nothing works. Thanks very much for your help.

P. S. I am using Windows 10 with Thunderbird version 128.4.2 esr. I had the same problem in more recent versions but not in older versions.

There’s an issue when logging into the application. I tried to figure it out myself using an article, and thanks to it, I found the error. Please help me fix it. I haven’t tried reinstalling the program because I don’t remember the password.

I'm using thunderbird for gmail account, and I struggle to mark some events notification as completed when they are deleted using gmail interface. They keep on poping up but when I hit `Dismiss` it gives me this error: ``` Status Code: 2147500037, The request cannot be processed.

Server Replied with 400 If you're seeing this message after snoozing or dismissing a reminder and this is for a calendar you do not want to add or edit events for, you can mark this calendar as read-only to avoid such experience in future. To do so, get to the calendar properties by right-clicking on this calendar in the list in the calendar or task view. ```

I don't want to make my calendar read-only because I'm still gonna use it but I can't remove these annoying pop-ups because of the error. Please help what can I do

Hi,

suddenly, all of add-ons have been disabled.

It is say that is an security problems,..., but all of them?? suddenly??

can you please provide some support/help?

I attach screenshoot with release and evidences disabled.

Tks

I updated my desktop browser today and now there is an expandable sidebar at the left margin of the window showing tool icons for Tabs from other devices, History and Customize sidebar. I can see how to remove tool icons and how to expand or collapse sidebar but can I remove the sidebar completely? Is this an option? I prefer the old look with the browser web page content extending all the way to the left of the screen, without the narrow vertical sidebar.

I am able to copy and past a URL into a message I am composing, but how do I get the URL to be shown as a hyperlink so that my email recipient can click on it and go to the website?

I hope to add the feature of opening local HTML files to Firefox Android version. Firefox used to support this feature in the past, but it was removed after the release of Firefox Daylight, which was restructured. Firefox supports opening PDF files, but it does not support opening HTML files, although opening HTML files is closer to the browser's function than opening PDF files.

After firefox update, start page changed to first photo i added here, second photo is how it was before, is there any way to get it back? Before update i had version 131.0b9, now its 136.0b1

Important update! On March 14, 2025, a critical root certificate in Firefox will expire. If you’re still using an older version (before Firefox 128 or ESR 115.13+), it’s crucial to update to Firefox 128 or newer to avoid issues with add-ons, DRM-protected content, and other features.

For full details, check out Update Firefox to prevent add-ons issues from root certificate expiration.

If you have questions about the update or need help with the process, this is the place to ask! Whether you’re just starting or you’ve already updated and want to share your experience, we’d love to hear from you.

Hello there :)

I just merged all my CSV files from all my different emails into one big file. I managed to import it in TB, playing with the checkbox for the matching fields so far so good

but

some of my contact have 3 emails, and i need those. so i added a custom field in TB, for the 3rd email (cause the default in TB is 2 emails)

then, if i edit a contact, add a 3rd email to it, it all display ok in TB

the issue i have now, is if i export my adress book back to CSV, that 3rd email information is lost during the process. the "custom" field in the csv field is blank, and the "3rd email" i created in TB is nowhere to be found

anyone could tell me if it's a TB limitation, or if i'm doing something wrong? :)

many thanks,

Baptiste

Hi there - been using Thunderbird for donkeys (since it was Eudora!). A few weeks back I started to get messages from Microsoft that I needed to change security settings as they were no longer supported on 3rd party email handlers like Thunderbird. So I re-created the three accounts I had there and it seemed to be OK, though SMTP did not have the OAUTH2 option available ... and when I tried to use the new SMTPs they wouldn't work. So I reverted to the old settings there and it worked again.

But this morning, with the big update to Thunderbird Nebula, I can no longer send emails from the MS accounts. My Gmail one is still OK ... but whatever I try, I cannot get the MS ones to send emails - I get a failure connecting.

Login to server smtp-mail.outlook.com with username xxxxx@hotmail.com failed.

I checked on MS and the details shown there:

SMTP server name smtp-mail.outlook.com SMTP port 587 SMTP encryption STARTTLS Authentication Method OAuth2/Modern Auth

Are what I have (I did have a different SMTP Server name came up - smtp.office365.com - but that doesn't work either)

So ... where is the issue? Is this a bug in the new Thunderbird setup? Something else? I don't know where to go ...

Fire Fox (Mozella) browser appears to be censuring content? In Fire Fox, when I read Fox Digital, I cannot see the comments any more when I’m signed in nor, signed in or not, the display boxes containing X posts and links. In the Federalist articles I can get the comments when I’m signed in, but the X content in them are not displayed. Comments in Yahoo are missing too. I tried changing Browser Privacy settings in Fire Fox, turning off my VPM, ad blockers, and tracker blockers but it does not correct the problem. All this content is available in Duck Duck Go and Edge browsers. Perhaps I have something I’m not aware of turned on but… Here’s two links to check out in Fire Fox then another browser.

two errors.

1. the folder the guardian on myemailaddress@gmail.com could not be found, so filters associated with this folder will be disabled. Verify that the folder exists, and the filters point to a valid destination folder

2.ditto....different folder....Linux.org on myemailadress etc etc.

In my research I came across a suggestion to alter the mozilla database : impa.gmail.com ....to....imap.googlemail.com I could not find the mozilla database, so I opened Account Settings/server settings, and changed the server name from : imap.gmail.com ....to... imap.googlemail.com

I need to receive emails to my email address destined for the two folders in question...Linux.org and the guardian....which I will definately have from Linux .org in the next few hours, and from the guardian maybe sometime this afternoon and if not definitely by 7:15am tomorrow morning. The time as i type this is 10:56am...guardian mail has already been received for today

If you have any alternative solution/thought, I will be most pleased to hear from you.

if my 'solution" works then this is definitely a google problem, not Thunderbird......but as usual thunderbird and others will be left to clean up their mess.

Edit to Add: I re enabled the Linux.org filter, and also changed its name from Info@Linux.org, to linux.org....and so far there is not another error thrown when I click on 'run now' in message filters....and the same applies to the guardian. Fingers Crossed !

Specs: Linux Mint 22 (Cinnamon) Thunderbird for linux Mint, mint-001 - 1.0 Thunderbird: 128.3.0esr (64bit)

please forgive me for asking again, but I REALLY need my addons to work. Firefox disabled my addons, forcing me to upgrade to a version of firefox that I don't need, since the old one was working just fine. The new version does not seem to appear to have downloaded properly, and neither version is allowing my addons to work or be re-installed. Please explain it to me like I am 5 years old, and help me to get this fixed without losing any of my info that might be stored in the addons.

 Thank you.
