I have Firefox Focus set as default browser on my Android phone. When it is used as Custom Tab, it cannot handle opening URL that is supposed to be opened in a new tab and did nothing instead.

My use case is, opening a link from Telegram message, the webpage is opened and is rendered in Custom Tab. Click on a link that is supposed to be open in new tab. Expectation is the new page will be opened, but it's currently doing nothing.

Is there anyone experiencing the same?

I love having the VPN Add-on on my Windows 11 laptop and now I see that there's a plug in for my Android Tablet, too.

I see there's options to turn OFF the VPN, but i don't need it on all the time. To save the data limit, I keep the VPN turned off.

There are some sites that I log into that require me to either not be from Australia amd some I need to be VPN linked to specific countries, like the UK or USA.

Will there be a place to be able to list particular websites to turn the VPN ON for, and, where needed, specify a country to connect to?

During the last 2 weeks, I have been unable to view and use my AOL emails, for the login page demands that I enter my mozilla primary password--the existence of which was unknown to me and thus, I never knew what it was and never had to use it in any way. I assume one was set when I began tom use firefox probably back in 2016. My big problem is that I must be able to use my AOL email system to complete various essential needs, How can I fix this idiocy that apparently places some kind of security above sane simplicity and ease of use for normal people who are not computer or Internet experts?

After an update for Firefox Developer Edition on Arch Linux (I don't know which), my URL bar doesn't show the selected text when typing or pressing Ctrl+A.

In the uploaded image, you can see i typed "e", but it doesn't highlight the entire en.wikipedia.org url. the second result still shows the e's in the URL bolded though.

I've tried disabling hardware acceleration, changing my GTK theme, and also changed my Firefox Theme, yet none work.

When a piece of text is drag-and-dropped onto FF, FF navigates to that text. So, when I am filling a form and accidentally drop the text outside a text field, FF navigates away from the page with the form I am trying to fill. I have been using FF for more than 10 years and never found this behavior to be useful. Only annoying and counter productive. If FF at least opened a new tab, I could close it and not lose the work done so far. But ideally there would be no navigation at all. Dropping a piece of text on a webpage should not trigger any navigation. I need a setting to disable that behavior completely. PLEASE!!! 🙏

This just happened today. I'm using Windows 7 and Thunderbird version 115.18.0 (32-bit) . No settings have been changed and, there have been no problems signing in to my accounts until today. (I have a few accounts handled by Tbird.) The Microsoft sign in window comes up for me to sign in but there is no longer an option to sign in with your password so, I can't sign in and use my accounts in Tbird. I did click on "other ways to sign in" but no "sign in with password" there either.

Thanks for your help,

P.S. Wow. Crazy stuff. I closed Tbird and reopened it and, the previous Microsoft sign in window came up with the option to: "sign in with password". I am assuming it was fixed by restarting Tbird. Anyhow, "back i business" again.

I keep having trouble with Facebook. The site keeps reacting too slowly, and just hangs up. I have to wait too long for the the content to fully load. I tried clearing my cache as suggested and that didn't help any. What can I now do to solve this problem. The Facebook problem is NOT present when I use another browser, like Chrome or Safari, only Firefox so the problem is Firefox related. Can someone please help. Thank you.

I have Firefox on two Windows PCs and a Pixel 8 Pro. If I make a change to my bookmarks on one PC, that change is quickly reflected on the other PC. This does not happen on my Android phone, which is signed in to the same account. I have tried logging out and in on the phone, and eventually deleted all data (not just cache) from Firefox on the phone, then uninstalled the app. I then re-installed Firefox on the phone, signed in to my Mozilla account, and set up my sync requirement including bookmarks. Firefox on the phone then installs a set of bookmarks which is several months out of date. I have repeated this process (delete data, uninstall / reinstall) several times, and signed in both with my email and by scanning a QR code on the PC. The same old set of bookmarks is synced to the phone every time. The old bookmarks which are synced to the phone are not synced to the PCs - those two devices are up to date and syncing correctly. It's almost as if there are two sets of bookmarks on the Mozilla server, one for the phone and one for the Windows PCs. I don't know where to go from here, can anyone help?

I have been trying to transition my Comcast.net email to Yahoo email mandated by Comcast. I have been using Thunderbird as an POP account for years with the comcast.net account. When sending emails through Thunderbird, I was prompted to enter my Comcast.net password. It worked fine. With the transition to Yahoo, my email password did not allow the Yahoo email to flow thru to Thunderbird. Yahoo stated that I need a four block with spaces, and 4 digits each block, Yahoo APP System generated password. When I keyed in that APP Password, everything would flow through. one time, Next time I want receive or send and email, I needed to key in the App Password. Yahoo stated that once entered it I would not have to use their system generated APP Password. Unfortunatley there was nowhere to save that password in Thunderbird. Yahoo then told me to remove and re-enter my Yahoo Account in Thunderbird.

I deleted the old profile that was originally my profile for Comcast.net and editied to the new Yahoo details, and started reestablishing that profile with the Yahoo Incoming Mail and outgoing smtp server information, Unfortunately upon re-entering my Yahoo information I have lost of of the existing emails/folders. that I had in Thunderbird. Now what do I do to recover all of those old emails & folders?? Help! I still have to use the original email address that has been converted to Yahoo. Any way to go back to Comcast to recover the data that consituted those old emails, or are they just lost?
