I'm having trouble seeing all I need to see on Facebook and Ancestry.com whenever I get certain popup windows asking for input on my part. On Facebook this happens when I want to create an album of photos, and I cannot add all the ones I want before posting, and on Ancestry when I have to look at and accept certain results for my tree. This problem does not occur with Chrome, for example, which lets me scroll to the bottom with the popups on the right, but I cannot do it with Firefox, which is my default browser, the one I want to use on these two applications. There should be another scroll bar in Firefox to the right in each case, but it's not there, though it is present in Chrome, allowing me to scroll all the way down. Can this be fixed on Firefox, or do I have to use another browser for these aspects of these two applications?

thunderbird has stopped downloading email from charter. it will work if i have a vpn open. i think the problem is with charter. i can get email if i go right to their website, but not with thunderbird or outlook. i just chatted with charter last night and they denied a problem. it has been messed up for a couple of weeks . i have been contacted by several friends that they are having the same problem. not sure why it isn't working. i have checked all the server settings. the weird part is if i open my vpn i can get my email, if that is a clue to what is going wrong. i posted a picture of their website that says they ARE having issues with legacy emails accessing email from charter/ spectrum.

I've been a subscriber to the gocomics.com web site for some years now, and have had no trouble logging in from Linux. But with MacOS, the "enter" button is greyed out and not responsive to clicking on it. I can log in that case by hitting the Enter key. I've recently been working with FreeBSD, and with that OS, I cannot log in at all, and pausing Ghostery and Privacy Badger does nothing. All three systems are running Firefox 153. What's different about the FreeBSD version?

FF dev 155.0b5 (but this has been ongoing for 1+yr). W11p. Is there somewhere in settings where I can "disable" whatever is blocking videos from being seen? (for example BBC news videos). I have to go to troubleshoot mode to watch. I have previously disabled all potential blocking exts like ghostery & UBlock, but to no effect (still no videos). I have looked in security in settings. Otherwise, I either go to troubleshoot or open chrome. Or, is there an extension that will allow that video viewing? Please advise, thank you.

At first FF free vpn used the server (Spain, France ..) that I selected Since a couple of days it always uses Singapore server, no matter what I select I have already cleared the cachet, turn off and on the vpn, restarted my laptop .. still the same Any solution?

Cannot send emails from Thunderbird to a Yahoo server. Receiving emails from this server is working. There are several options for configuring the connection to this SMTP server. Server name, port number, user name, authentication method (ie OAuth2), connection security (using SSL/TLS). There is also a password required. When I try to send a message to this server, I get a login failure with options to reset my password. Since I had a working configuration, I retrieved the password from that and tried to reset it. That did not fix this problem. I am not sure if this is a sign in issue or a missmatch of the configuration parameters. I have tried several combinations of those with no success. This server is on a Yahoo machine that reserves ports for AT&T service. If I use the Yahoo interface for email, that will work, possibly because it is going into different ports on the Yahoo machine or my sign on with them is easier to establish. I prefer the Mozilla email handler to the Yahoo/AT&T handler, so I hope I can get it working again.

The browser has become very annoying to use and it keeps using a popup telling me to update! the problem is not the update in its self but when I allow it to do the update I can never find where it downloaded it to so I am plagued with this constant pop-up, I used to like Firefox but recently they got barred from Facebook messenger video calls.

When using Firefox 154.0.1 (MacOS) and VPN, my ISP provider seems to randomly change between my selected country (Canada) and current location (US).

Is this a known bug, or is there a setting that I need to tweak?

Thanks!

A few days ago I sent emails and did not see the usual "Saving to Sent (IMAP)". Instead it said something like saving to Sent folder. That's fine, but the emails didn't appear in my Thunderbird Sent folders. I downloaded Thunderbird to see if my version was obsolete. Still no emails in Sent folder. The internet said I could delete my Sent folder, and Thunderbird would re-establish Sent folder. It did not. I can still see my old emails in my Local Thunderbird sent mail, so I deleted about 100 old emails in case the folder was too full. Still, the new emails I was sending did not appear. I checked with a few recipient people and they told me the email go to them. I have tried all the "solutions" I can find. What else can I do to see copies of my outgoing emails.?

I'm looking for a solution to open links in progressive web apps in full firefox: in a new page, with a usable address bar, and the link being one of the tabs in firefox mobile. I know you can tap the three dots and then "open in firefox" but i hate the two extra gestures every single time.

When replying to an email, I type the first line of text in the text field and then paragraph (carriage return) using the ENTER key. This causes the first line of text to disappear. This has been happening all day today, several times. Closing and reopening Thunderbird does not solve the problem. Rebooting the device does not solve the problem.

How can I stop Firefox from automatic granting sites cross-site cookie permissions (see screenshot)? The problem is that the cross-site cookie(s) granted for a site more often than not is completely unrelated to that site. This problem is very frustrating.

I have tried changing several settings in Tracking Protection but nothing has stopped Firefox from auto-granting these permissions. I have for example turned off "Fix major site issues (recommended)" but it has not changed this behavior.

Thankful for any help.

My PC crashed and then upon opening up firefox it forced me to update firefox. Afterwards all windows and tabs disappeared but my browing history is still there. I tried the in-browser restoration but it is greyed out. I tried the session store backup profile data but has no 'previous' or 'back up' files, only 'restore' files that are empty and restore to no tabs or windows. What other ways are possible? It's weird my browsing history anf bookmarks weren't deleted at the same time.

I opened Firefox this morning and all of my pinned shortcuts have disappeared. Shortcuts are enabled in the settings. I checked the browser.newtabpage.pinned pref on the about:config and all of my pinned shortcuts are not there

The Firefox built-in VPN option appeared for me about a week ago, maybe two; I don’t know whether it only just reached me in the rollout, or whether Firefox highlighted it because of the “more bandwidth” promotion. Either way, I activated it. But then, three days ago, I noticed that my browsing was no longer going through a VPN, and that the VPN settings had all disappeared from Firefox.

I’m in Australia. I’m signed into my Firefox account. I’ve tried signing out and back in; restarting this device; and doing as many steps from the Support article “Unable to find the built-in VPN in Firefox” as I could, given that it gives instructions for desktop Firefox, not Android. In particular, I removed one study—not the one named in the article, but a different one with “holdback” in the name (something like “long term holdback H1”).

When I try to pair my Firefox app on smartphone to my laptop with firefox.com/pair, I follow the steps and when entering the authentication code and going back to the app, I get a generic error saying the pairing failed.
