'bold text' YOUR STUPID BOX TO UPDATE FIREFOX WON'T GO AWAY AND BLOCKS MY PAGE ON UPPER RIGHT HAND CORNER...HOW DO YOU TURN OFF NOTIFICATIONS "HITTING DISMISS ONLY MAKES IT KEEP COMING BACK WHILE YOU ARE TRYING TO WORK"???

On my work laptop, I disabled "Recommended by Pocket" to avoid distractions.

On my personal laptop, that setting is already enabled. But I never see any stories recommended by pocket when I open a new tab. What can I do about this?

There is a serious problem here! I have the latest Firefox browser for Windows installed: 118.0 (64-bit). Under Settings, I have the box checked that says: Open previous windows and tabs.

It isn't working. All my tabs keep getting wiped out. I am a developer. I primarily use Firefox because it is the only browser that knows how to display bookmarks in a column. I have many tabs open at one time. I need to pick up where I left off. Now this is completely unusable. Can someone get this back to normal operation?

Please!!

I'm having a lot of frustration trying to edit the shortcuts in the New Tab page in any kind of smooth and easy manner. While I recognize that having sync turned on means that Firefox destroyed my pinned shortcuts on this PC when I logged into Firefox on the new PC I am setting up, it's incredibly inconvenient, and the lack of options in regards to editing makes replacing all of it really, really awful. I have no ability to see the history of my shortcuts, nor can I save configured shortcuts and restore them should an improper sync destroy my previous settings. If I want an empty tile, I have to go through and repeatedly dismiss everything from my history to stop more of my visited websites from replacing said tile. Is there something obvious I'm missing here? If not, is there any kind of way that more customization options for New Tab shortcuts might be suggested?

I use Dragon NaturallySpeaking extensively. I've been using it successfully in Thunderbird for years now.

Suddenly today, nothing I dictate in Dragon is being recognized or typed in in Thunderbird. Dragon is working just fine here in my browser, and every place else. So I suspect the issue may not be with Dragon, but instead with Thunderbird. I applied the Universal Computer Fix of rebooting my computer, but that hasn't helped.

Is it possible something in the latest Thunderbird update has broken my ability to use Dragon?

How can I fix this?

The scrollbar is way too thin. I've searched online and tried all of the tips and they don't work. The scrollbar is almost useless.

Does anyone know a fix for Windows 11?

I was set up, in myuserchrome.css, to hide my pinned tabs on the tab bar, allowing them to still be available in the "List all tabs" menu, see first image

.tabbrowser-tab[pinned="true"] { display: none !important;}

All of a sudden, it reverted back

That first image, with the hidden tabs, is actually from Librewolf, with has the identical setting.

When Thunderbird updated today the inbox plane takes up way to much space. How can I make it smaller? It wont let me slide the bar up.

Thank you for the help!

Now that I have TB 115.2.2 installed I have a couple of annoying changes:

1 When I move an e-mail from my Inbox to a folder it immediately expands when I hover over it. Some of my folders have 20-30 sub-folders so it's a pain to have to close the folder so that I can see the rest of the folders for the next move. Is there a delay setting anywhere?

2 My previous version used to have the function buttons immediately above the message and the menu bar was at the top. Why have they been reversed?

3 Compact folders no longer works.

I have a problem with Thunderbird (supernova) version on windows 10. I have the latest version 115.3.0 . Ever sense upgrading to the supernova version my menu bar with Get Messages, Address Book, Write have been on top of my page. With menu bar with File, Edit view, Go etc. below it on the second line. Now prior to going to the supernova version, those menu bars were switched. My laptop which is a windows 8.1 version has Thunderbird version 102.15.1 at the present time and it still shows the menu tool bars in the correct position with the Menu File, Edit, View etc. on top. But there is an update to 115.3.0 pending, which I am hesitant to do because of the problem above.

My question: Is there a way, after switching to the supernova version 115.3.0, to switch those menu bars back?

I'm using TB 115.3 and have it set to show messages as simple HTML. I'd like to add a toolbar button to switch to original HTML for individual messages as needed. Is that possible? I tried customizing the toolbar but didn't see a way to add this option.

Can I get an explanation for what this does

Is it supposed to do something different than the windows taskbar mouse thumbnail

I saw no difference when enabled.

I used to like Firefox because it let me set my browser up in an intuitive and comfortable way, and it was able to easily do the things I wanted to do. Then simple and useful features (e.g., tabs under the address bar) were hidden in about:config. Then they were removed completely, and you had to use third-party extensions to restore them (e.g., getting the refresh button on the address bar). Then, the third-party extensions were blocked so that you had to copy and paste third-party code into userChrome.css (e.g., restoring "View Image").

I hate updating Firefox, because it gets worse every time. This browser has turned to absolute garbage, and it just keeps circling the drain. Wasn't Firefox supposed to be the customizable browser? Mozilla seems to have decided that customization needs to be completely wiped out, and features need to be removed for...some reason?

Why is this happening? I shouldn't have to be afraid of the update button, but it's become a "make Firefox even worse" button. My only consolation now is that Mozilla won't have any more major updates for my operating system, so I might be okay for a few months.

Firefox used to have an option to put tabs back under the address bar, it is missing. I don't want to mess with custom css files every update when mozilla breaks things again.

I received the following from thunderbird I have 115.2.3 https://blog.thunderbird.net/2023/08/make-thunderbird-yours-how-to-get-the-thunderbird-115-supernova-look/

1. Turn On Cards View is not possible to view, Message List Header can not be found in vertical, classic or wide view
2. Turn On “Tags” Folder Mode can not be found under ... in folders configuration

I have tried toggling multiple views on and off but the message list header option is never shown. How do I find this ?

Hello,

I'm looking for a way to access the message filters more quickly. With TB115, go to "menu" -> "tools" -> "message filters".

I would like to know if there is an easier way (a shortcut, a button or even an extension to access it)?

Thank you very much,

ps: more generally, I'd like to know how to make suggestions concerning Thunderbird...

Hello, today my Firefox offered me to try the "Translate this page" beta function within the browser. I agreed but now want to disable/delete this option and don't know how. I can uncheck the option to always translate the page in the menu settings after clicking on the icon in the bar. But I don't see an option to delete this add-on (it's not listed in the add-on section either). How can I get rid of it? Best, Manu

Firefox Version 118.0 (64-Bit), Windows 10

I cannot get the classic "quick filter" icon to show.

For a long time now I have a quick filter bar so haven't been bothered about this BUT now I am on SUPERNOVA I need to click "Message List Display Options" and it doesn't appear

How can I get the Icon instead of the bar?

Hello, I'd like to disable the new translate prompt in Firefox. While I greatly value Mozilla's commitment to innovation, I've found this new feature to be somewhat disruptive to my user experience.

I speak different languages and therefore use websites in multiple languages and having this prompt appear multiple times is a bit annoying. I can’t imagine being the only user with this issue. It’s very irritating.

I didn't find a way to disable this feature in the settings. Is there another way? I know I can modify it by adding languages that I don't want to have translated but I'd like to disable it entirely. I know this might be a non-issue to some people but I just hate this popup and I don't want to see it again. Thank you very much!
