Starting about a week ago, when I use Firefox 124.01 on my Windows 10 PC to visit Ebay, the pages show in Portuguese, and the country shows as Brazil. I'm in the USA. This problem does not occur when I use Chrome, Opera or Edge. Any idea about why this has happened and what I can do to fix it. On Ebay, I can manually change the language and location, but if I close Firefox, the problem returns. I'm using the version of FF that keeps no cookies or history. Thanks

Hi, my mailbox on the server is set to 5Gb. However the size of the IMAP directory of this mailbox on my hard disc is almost 22Gb. Sometimes I occured the situation that the mailbox's size on server lik 500Mb the IMAP catalogue took 80Gb of disk space. What might be the reason. Using 'cleaning' option does not help.

Hello!

Since at least one update, and maybe two, I have been having the following experience:

For context: I do remote work via Zoom and Teams. I am using an iMac running Sonoma 14.1. I use a magic keyboard and magic mouse. I bought the computer in March of 2023.

1. Open Firefox and use it for a while. All is well.

2. Out of nowhere, with no sequence or pattern I have been able to discern so far, Firefox stops responding to left button mouse clicks. Right ones still work.

3. Quit Firefox and re-open.

4. It responds to left button clicks again.

I don't usually have to do this more than once per day, although I had had days during which I had to do it two or three times.

This does not occur in Safari or Chrome.

Thoughts? X-sH

When opening an email with previous email responses on it a seperate tab automatically opens for each previous email on that email. Before the update a few months ago only one tab would open when opening a new message and I want that system to continue. I cannot see how to do that.

I also prefer the previous option of unread emails in bold (showing on Inbox) rather than now underlined. Can I change that too?

Thank you

We use Thunderbird to send out emails. Recently our SSL cert was renewed and installed on our mail server. Everything is working correctly and using the correct SSL cert. Attached to this post is an image of the correct SSL cert working and displaying the correct Validity Period. When I attempt to send emails from this Thunderbird app, it is referencing the old expired SSL cert. Ive manually imported the correct SSL cert into Thunderbird and verified that it is displaying properly. But when I go to send the email, it is referencing the old expired SSL cert. Attached to this post are screenshots of the error and the old SSL cert that Thunderbird keeps referencing.

Hello dear Thunderbird members.

Please, I would like your assistance to the following issue.

It's about when creating an existing account on Thunderbird application. Creating a Google mail account, or Yahoo! account (IMAP setting up). Or creating on POP3 module my mail account that I have on my internet provider.

So, the question/problem is, when I create account, all settings are being created (settings I mean incoming mail server, ports, etc), the authentication of username and password is passed, and finally account is created, with inbox folder, and immediately automatic getting messages begins. And, all other folders under inbox are being created/loaded. What I want to ask is if there is a technique, after account creation, only the inbox folder to be created empty, then not starting an automatic getting messages, and only if I click on inbox folder or press the get messages button, just then, the getting messages and folders begin. Just something like say disable automatic getting messages when creating existing account.

Is there any way to make this?

Thank you for your time!

I am using Thunderbird 115.9.0 (64-bit) on Windows 11.

I am finding that I cannot copy text out of a Thunderbird window (e.g., an incoming message or a message-composition pane).

If I select text and "copy" (e.g., by context menu with right click or Edit-Copy ordinary menu), my clipboard is cleared.

If my clipboard is not clear (text copied from another application), I can paste that into a Thunderbird message-composition pane. But if I then select that same text in the Thunderbird window and then do "copy" (above), the clipboard is cleared. Pasting (into a Thunderbird window or something else, like Notepad) pastes nothing.

I have noticed this problem only in the last week or so.

The web page

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Native_messaging#troubleshooting

says: if the native application sends any output to stderr, the browser will redirect it to the browser console.

Is that still supposed to work? I'm asking because it seems that in recent versions of firefox that no longer works. I do not see any output that my native app emits to stderr. I tried multiple systems (all Windows based) and multiple versions of Firefox (including "115.9.1esr (64-Bit)" and "116.0.3 (64-bit)")

I say crashing - it will not open. The closest I get is that it will say 'running troubleshooter mode', and then immediately close again before I can even see the actual browser. This issue does not occur with Chrome or DuckDuckGo, so it is not an issue with a Microsoft Family account. This issue is not related to missing or corrupted redist files, as I have installed all of the latest files there. I would like to switch to Firefox, as I use it on my phone.

Hi. I have two main Mac computers that I browse the web with, a 2020 iMac 27 with 6-core Intel i5 and Radeon Pro 5300 GPU. My secondary computer is an older mid-2012 MacBook Pro with dual core Intel i5 and HD Graphics 4000.

I am aware this Macbook is over a decade old now, and I plan on getting a much newer model within the next couple months. For now, I'll have to make do with this when my iMac is busy with other tasks (mostly rendering video). I have installed all the latest Mac OS updates the Macbook can support, which is Catalina, and Firefox is also the most current version 124.0.1 64-bit.

I tend to use Instagram via Firefox for the most part, and on the iMac, there are these little animations when doing things like double-clicking posts to like them, which causes a small flying heart to appear on the post for about a second. Flipping through multi-image posts is also animated when clicking the left and right buttons, resulting in a slide animation between photos. Small text pop ups also have animation as well.

However, using Firefox on my Macbook, those animations don't appear. I've enabled hardware acceleration, and the animations still don't appear. I've also whitelisted Instagram in uBlock Origin, and the result is the same.

I tested other websites that I can compare with the iMac, like Google Maps and the official Nintendo Animal Crossing website. Both sites run smoothly on my Macbook, with all animations functioning like they should, and Google Street view also being smooth with no visual glitches or other reduced functionality.

I will note the screen resolution on the Macbook is 1366 x 768 compared to the large iMac. My question is this... is Instagram disabling these UI animations on my Macbook due to it's age and/or screen size, is Firefox doing that, or is this a bug in regards to Mac OS Catalina?

These are very simple animations, so it's strange that they don't appear on my Macbook, despite it still being capable of showing web page animations with other sites. The Like animation in particular is helpful as it provides visual feedback to my preferred way of liking posts there.

this is relevant to privacy & security, as well as websites

browser fingerprinting is a serious threat to privacy & security.

fenix 123.0 & 1240a1 eventually achieved "non-unique browser fingerprint" in std pbmode as tested via covefyourtracks.eff.org

however, since 124.0 & 125.0a1, browser fingerprinting protection has slid all the way down to "partial." orbot-hostile Brave Andro always achieves a fully "random browser fingerprint." all i want/expect from fenix is a robust & reliable "non-unique browser fingerprint."

my fenix UI P&S is always set to Strict & GPC enabled. i haven't changed anything. no 3rd party cookies. caches cleared, etc, & always uses expert mode orbot proxy.

why this very unwelcomed fenix backslide?

How can I configure FF to not open downloaded rar files with winrar (I want FF only to save the file)?

Hi,

When permissions are controlled in the address bar, what needs to happen for you to get an 'Allowed Temporarily' permission? Reference is made to this on the support page https://mzl.la/3zNjX3Z in the 'Use Firefox's address bar' section but it doesn't give any detail on what the 'Allowed Temporarily' option is exactly or how it happens. I didn't get the option to allow or block permissions as shown at the beginning of that page and the permissions icon automatically showed as 'Allowed Temporarily' and I didn't have the permission I wanted. What would have happened there?

Thanks for any help you can give on this.
