I don't know how you can help. I really really really hate hunting for things that were there in previous years. I do not like full screen lay over that mozilla has taken to doing, if it doesn't stop i will have to remove it. I want to see my tabs, I want mozilla to stop playing with my settings and logging me out when I am idle or on my phone. There are people with the same problem but its all techy talk and i don't understand and its playing with my time to constantly search or resign in. I don't need microsoft anything, hate it, don't use cloud, don't use chrome... so do we have an issue? one more thing... I absolutely hate with a passion of terminator any fucking ai garbage and bots. would sooner smash devices and take out a fire arm to shoot any robots. Hope that makes it clear. I have anxiety issues, so swearing is an issue, get used to it especially if artifical nonsence is involved. I try very hard not to swear at people. Ai is a different matter. I have norton antivirus.

While I was browsing an open tab I moved my cursor over to the Bookmarks icon and the cursor automatically enlarged itself. I expect the cursor to remain at its normal size when I hover over the bookmarks icon but instead it became larger. I cannot reproduce the error unfortunately.

Incoming emails create a Notification popup. Not sure if this is TB 78.15.0 esr or Apple OSX, but I've done the things needed to stop both, AFAIK:

TB Prefs / chat / general / when msgs directed at you arrive... / unchecked it all

In OSX High Sierra 10.13.6 Prefs / notifications / TB 60.9.1 / unchecked all the stuff for TB Alert Style However, when I just went there to write the above, it was all back to being toggled ON.

Hello to all, I am having a real challenge with the latest version(s) of Thunderbird (115.8.1) on Windows 10 (i7 with 16Gbs Ran, 1TB SSD)

Background... Have been trying to add some accounts from a domain and this is where it seems to got astray. Added one account (acc#1) some time ago. At that time there was some issues at the time with the changing of the mail servers and the old provider. Left it partially entered within Thunderbird. With that, waited for a week or two to re-add these addresses. The one left was still there, redid the server settings, and added several other addresses from that domain. All seemed to be working just fine at that point... So closed out Thunderbird and shutdown the computer.

Upon rebooting the computer and opening Thunderbird... The account that was partially entered was there, but with the old incorrect settings. The other addresses were no where to be found.

Each time I shutdown Thunderbird and either restart or turn on the computer, the old (acc#1) is still there but with the incorrect settings. Have tried to delete it but it keeps coming back.

Assistance with this would be appreciated...

Do occasionally run CCleaner on this computer... could that be causing any of these issues?

As in subject I changed a control and do not understand the symbols on top plus need to get unread messages first and do not want sent messages in a tier that is to the same person. thanks

I have a large number of message filters which divert messages to folders on Subject. So messages I sent were diverted to those folders on sending. Mea Culpa

Emails I send to a X@yahoo.co.uk are not saved in my default sent folder. I have checked the setting in Account Settings. If I send to Y@other CC X@yahoo.co.uk , the message does get saved. I am using POP to send/receive emails.

This seems to have started in December 2023.

I am using Thunderbird 115.8.0 running in Debian Buster.

I would really appreciate a solution to this isssue. Thanks

Is there a setting to avoid firefox swapping to new tabs, when ctrl-clicking search results in address bar?

Sometimes I want to search on multiple things through the address bar, but usually I search on google instead because every time I ctrl-click to open the searches, firefox automatically switches to that tab which means I have to swap back to the other tab, every time I open a new tab through the address bar.

It's only a problem in the search bar. Bookmarks and links on webpages open in new tabs, without swapping to those tabs.

Is there a hidden interface flag/control to adjust if (or how quickly) the spring-loaded folders pop open? On the old MacBook Pro my wife uses they spring open immediately, pushing the mailbox she wants to drop the selected messages into up and down out of view and often the messages drop into some random folder and she has to go looking for where they wound up.

Thunderbird 115.5.0 on MacOS 10.12

Dear Team,

There are two problems i found out in in newer version of thunderbird.

1) When we try to forward message, we never get space to write and it comes with different fonts and preformat, when we click it to Body text it comes with preformat automatically without our given command to Body text. Kindly fix it so we could use more comfortably.

2) When we get email sent by ourselves we click on edit as new see 2nd pick, when we click from 2nd account, signatures comes from new account, in previous version when we use CTRL Z, signature's were vanished, so we were more comfortable with that version, see pick 3 and now we delete manually which comes with extra space.

I previously commented on same but no response. Could you please able to solve this issue?

When the system theme (light/dark) is switched globally, Firefox recognizes this and also switches its theme automatically (if configured appropriately). This should also retheme addons opened in the sidebar (Tab Stash or Sidebery for instance), and it does so under certain conditions, namely if either a) no sidebar was opened when starting Firefox and the addon sidebar window is opened directly, or b) the sidebar was opened with start of Firefox. Unfortunately, no retheming of the addon window occurs when some other Firefox sidebar (such as bookmarks or history) was opened after Firefox start and before system theme switch. In that case, the addon window (which is opened as the system theme is switched) does not retheme. This can be mitigated by either restarting Firefox or by opening a Firefox sidebar such as bookmarks or history, and switching back to the addon window.

So to reproduce this behaviour:

1. Open Firefox and some sidebar addon directly (such as Tab Stash in my case, with Ctrl-Alt-S)
2. Switch system theme globally (I do this with Night Theme Switcher in GNOME)
3. Observe that Firefox correctly redraws the addon window
4. Open bookmarks (Ctrl-B) or history (Ctrl-H)
5. Reopen the addon window
6. Switch system theme globally again
7. Observe that Firefox does not correctly redraw the addon window
8. Open bookmarks (Ctrl-B) or history (Ctrl-H) again
9. Reopen the addon window
10. Observe that Firefox redrew the addon window

This has already been reported to the addon developer, who stated that it might be a bug in Firefox, since his addon only tells Firefox which colors to use in which mode.

System details:

• OS Version: Linux 6.7.4-arch1-1
• Browser Version: Firefox 122.0.1
• Desktop environment: GNOME

I've tried a few addons that download website images but the website I go to has thumbnails that are linked to larger jpg's and addons I've used won't download the linked jpg's. I used "Download all images" addon which has a "Deep Search Option" and filters for downloading linked images but I can't get it to work. I couldn't figure out how to use the filters. I read about another addon called "download-links" that can search linked images and I might give it a try. Any suggestions? Has anyone tried "Download all images" addon?

Why is Firefox/Android not using the system wide voice typing feature? Instead it uses its own incomplete implementation. I need an English GUI with german voice typing. This is no problem when using the system wide keyboard config. This runs smooth and perfect. But in Firefox it’s not possible to define such. Why?

I'm installing a Docker service set onto a new Ubuntu system, that has Firefox installed by default. One of the services is a GUI application.

However, when opening Firefox for the first time, a dialog shows up that I would like to disable (attached).

How can I disable this?

I'm running Firefox using: "/usr/bin/firefox --kiosk http://localhost"

I've already followed a lot of the suggestions in here: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-release/source/remote/shared/RecommendedPreferences.sys.mjs (and verified they are indeed set after installing my own "user.js" file), but I cannot find an about:config preference that disables what I'm still seeing.

Any help or ideas?

Hello, so I have been putting my custom links onto the 'top sites' start page in Firefox, by editing the icons and putting the URL, etc. It is a great 'speed dial' type feature I love. One thing has me tearing my hair out after trying all ways to try and fix this to appear to my liking, is the 'custom icon' from the website not showing in the sites I want to 'speed dial' Facebook and YT show up fine, but random sites I want on the page don't do this. I don't care why this is anymore, please don't give lengthily fixes. It's just silly you need a working URL with an icon at the end of it to display this properly. It did make me very mad, can you tell, even madder when I saw it done as it should be in OPERA browser, on their 'top sites', or 'speed dial' customizable home page they have the sensible option there to pick your own icon, you can put in a folder on your desktop if you like, no working URL needed! start a collection of what icons you want to see on your own start page. Can you please implement this 'common sense' modification as soon as possible, it will take only minutes of code writing i'm sure. I do not want to, but I will go to Opera as my main browser for this common sense functionality, good luck and thank you.

Hi,

When I sent an email, I use this addon "#tbkeys" to add the file name of the attachment in the body email. Is there a way to automatically add the name of the attachment, without using a shortcut ?

and this is the code for shortcut key...

1. tbkeys

{"ctrl+3": "(function () { var bucket = window.document.getElementById('attachmentBucket'); var names = []; for (var i = 0; i < bucket.getRowCount(); i++) names.push('• '+bucket.getItemAtIndex(i).getAttribute('name')); window.goDoCommandParams('cmd_smiley','This is Attachement name :

'+ names.join('
')); })();"}

Hello,

We are using a PAC-File. In the Function: FindProxyForURL(url, host) you return the Proxy. We are returning the Value:

Hello, We are using a PAC-File. In the Function: FindProxyForURL(url, host) you return the Proxy. We are returning the Value:

     "PROXY proxy1:3128; proxy2:8080".

We see that Firefox often takes the fallback Proxy. The connection via the Fallback proxy is much slower than the connection via the original proxy. 

My Questions: How does Firefox recognize which Proxy is now active? Is there away to debug the Proxy Selection? Can I give a priority to a Proxy?

Kind regards / Mit freundlichen Grüßen     Bernd Wollny Proxy Support Team

After opening mobile FF browser on the Homepage, it shows some links feom my browsing history - Recently visited.

Please fix this, it's a very bad experience...

Hello, Under about:preferences I went to applications. Under mailto there were references to Yahoo and Gmail which I deleted. Now then when I click on an email address link on a webpage the mailto menu pops up like it always has but Yahoo and Gmail are no longer listed as email options. How do I get those links back? Firefox is listed as the default option but because there are no links to webmail services there is no way to send an email from that menu. Sincerely, MKH
