Formerly I could decide the window size for the number of minimum visible received emails in the list down to 3. But for any reason the minimum now is 10. Which does that the space for text content is reduced a lot. How can I get back the former possibility?

I haven't yet found the correct configuration to do this.

What I want is: 1. History should either not be saved, or alternatively auto-deleted after a certain time (e.g. only keep history of the past hour), or as a last resort get deleted when closing the browser. 2. I want to keep the ability to restore recently closed tabs. I realize this is a bit in conflict to not having a history, but just remembering the last few closed tabs would be enough, or all tabs closed in the last few minutes. 3. When I restart the browser, I want it to restore my previously open tabs 4. I want to keep cookies and logins (i.e. not get logged out everywhere, and have the cookie dialogues after restarting the browser). 5. Not super important, but ideally I want to keep my saved favicons/website logos in the bookmarks and on the new tab page.

So basically I just want to way for the history to be empty or automatically pruned, without sanitizing any other data on exit or browsing in a kind of permanent private mode.

Thank you in advance!

I haven't yet found the correct configuration to do this. If there is an extension or about:config option for doing this, please also let me know (I'm happy to switch to Firefox Beta or Fennec F-Droid which have full extension support and expose about:config functionality.)

I'm only looking to use the VPN add-on for a particular movie streaming website where even the website itself advises that you use a VPN connection for security and safety.

I would have the VPN add-on disabled for everything else so I don't need a VPN add-on with lots of bells and whistles, I just want a free VPN add-on that will keep me relatively protected when I use the particular streaming movie website.

Can anybody provide any recommendations or opinions?

I'd rather not sign up to a free trial for a VPN service because obviously the free trial has a cut off date before you actually have to purchase the VPN service and as specified I'm not interested in buying a VPN service.

I use Thunderbird in full screen mode on a high resolution monitor. I keep overlooking attachments because the tiny paperclip and the tiny link to the attachment at the bottom of the screen are too easy to miss. A more obvious visual cue is needed. Perhaps display the paperclip in a contrasting color and move the attachment link to just below the message header instead of putting it at the very bottom of the screen so far from the message body? Up to now this was just an inconvenience, but today it actually cost me $50 because of an attached notice I missed even though I had read the email several times.

I've read some articles about this but I can't find what they're talking about. What is the message header? I'm not sure when this started but I don't like it, it's confusing about what message I'm reading or discussing. I only want to see one message at a time and I can't seem to change the setting.

why is literally every setting on this horse [redacted] browser over the top complicated? trying to watch a show but I can't because I dont know how to disable ad block for one site, what was wrong with the pause button? why do I need a super secure password just to come on here and get help? why cant I use mozillasucks as a password? are y'all trying to make chrome look user friendly? why have my saved log ins moved to pop up tab where I have to copy and paste them? what was wrong with the drop down menu when you click the box to type your sign in info? as someone who genuinely doesn't care for or understand the IT side of things you make using this browser a nightmare.

Is it possible to not have a default sender selected when sending emails, so I'll have to choose every time I write a new email? I know I can select a default, but I have to switch between multiple email accounts rather often and want to avoid using the wrong one by accident.

Firefox is not asking where save downloaded files. I have the checkbox checked which indicates it should ask every time. I also followed some instructions on here about going to the about:config page and changing a setting to false, but that didn't do anything.

Built in PDF reader is showing blank and then prompting to close firefox -

Please help I am support a company who are really big on Firefox and love the built in PDF reader feature but recently when they open files they show blank and you ar then requested to close Firefox.

Any ideas of what the problem could be?

He has the latest version of Firefox from today I can see there was an update 2 days ago and there where some new features on the reader could this be the reason?

Good morning.

I would like to move the "Move to" icon (ex. #1 in the snapshot - please see attached snapshot) to the position of the other icons are located on the taskbar (ex. #2 in the snapshot). In other words, the "Move to" icon is not where I want it to be. I would like to see it next to the other icons. Please w

Thank you

Planning to both create a new email, and switch to Thunderbird. One thing I don't want to set up my email with, is with google services, so I was curious if I could get an email almost like 'example@thunderbird.com' Is this possible?

Is there a practical solution to downsizing the inbox display. I usually keep only 3 or 4 messages in the display box so I can see the current message completely. What I have now is a minimum of 9 messages displayed and I can't see the entire current message in the current message window. It is unacceptable.

The Thunderbird Inbox is a mess..... Everything has lots of room, except the actual message. Mine is about 1" tall! How can I either fix the problem or go back to the previous version? Please bear in mind that I am not a very good problem solver, so I will need a step-by-step solution. Thank you.

II'm using Win 10 Pro and am having an issue with adding new FF profiles.

I have a shortcut icon in the (bottom) Win 10 taskbar. I've created new FF profiles with unique names and paths, etc. But when I open FF as one of those profiles the open window(s) "attach" to an icon / shortcut in the taskbar, even tho' that icon / shortcut has a completely different target (i.e., path for starting FF).

I don't want windows from Profile New 1 or Profile New 2 to look as if they are for Profile Icon_in_the_Taskbar.

I hope this makes sense. I've created profiles in the past and didn't run into this problem so perhaps it's me. But I also don't believe I'm doing anything different than before.

Once Firefox was updated to the latest version nothing worked anymore.

No changes to the Settings were saved. Keeps loading the Mozilla page even after I changed to google.ca. Rebooted, restart the browser, etc. Nothing works. Changing the security settings restart the browser then it won't connect to the web.

Everything worked perfectly with the previous version. As soon as it upgraded nothing worked properly anymore.

Tried to go back to 118 but it keeps updating.

Using a very old version right now to be able to connect (56.0.2) and told it NOT to update.

Firefox will NOT LET ME assign a downloads folder, and doesn't ever ask where to save (though that IS checked). There is NOTHING the support base or community I can find addressing this. It tells you to check "ask" and or to assign a downloads folder. Well, I Have checked "ask" and it doesn't ask. And it will not let me select a downloads folder.

And all downloads "fail." So I cannot use Firefox io download anything.

This is a bug. The settings do not work.

I have updated to latest version, this has been the case thru multiple versions. I am using a M1 Macbook pro with Monterey OS.
