Recently the shortcuts on the Firefox browser started being greyed out and not accessible. Using iOS ver 18.7.2. Tried lots of different things to chess them but no luck so far. A major impediment to usability

Thanks

Using latest Firefox browser, when I open Google and want to ‘paste’ a word, it will not let me. Instead I get this default message, that I can’t delete. I can type anything I want, but I can’t ‘paste’ a word or words. How to fix please? HP desktop PC Windows 11 64 bit I see there is a 'new' (to me) AI mode icon in the 'same' search window as where you type on the 'right' of the search box. Maybe I just haven't noticed because I didn't have an issue before.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

When switching apps from Firefox to other apps, it almost always reloads the webpage. This is annoying in the certain scenarios

1. After I enter my username, it goes to a password page. I switch app to my password manager to copy my password. Comes back to Firefox and it refreshes, going back to username screen. Impossible to login. 2. After I enter my username and password, I need to go to SMS or Outlook app or Authenticator app to obtain the MFA code. Comes back to Firefox and it refreshes, going back to the login screen. Impossible to login.

This happens to various websites. I have no issue with Chrome or Brave on the same phone. I even tried terminating all apps leaving with just Firefox and the same symptom happens. Memory is sufficient, my phone has 12GB of RAM.

Hello,

let me tell you that I have a few hundred email filters defined, and they (almost all) work fine.

There are three filters that cause problems, and it looks like the problem sticks to the sender.

Let me expand: FAZ, REWE, and Campact cause problems. Two out of three emails from these senders can't be moved to the target folders. I get a pop-up messeage telling me that I have to repair the folder. I do so, and a few days later the same problem comes up. Just for these three senders.

I searched all folders for filters for these three and removed all filters I could find.

Then I created a new folder as a child to the inbox folder, and a new folder inside of this folder to hold emails from FAZ. I defined a new filter rule, as the old ones were removed. Worked for a few emails, and, voila, the message pop-up came again, telling me there are problems moving the email over to the (new) target folder.

Let me repeat: all other filters work fine, just emails from these three senders cause problems.

Any idea where I could have a look, a switch to check?

One last information/idea: all three have different email addresses they send from, I will check the ones that do not work, maybe there is a clue.

I am using POP3/SMTP, not IMAP.

Hoping for a tipp, a clue, an idea -

The operating system is Windows 11, and the following content is configured in the HOSTS file on the C drive: 192.168.10.10 www.simon.com 192.168.20.10 www.simon.com There are two private network servers providing website services, with server A's IP at 192.168.10.10 and server B's IP at 192.168.20.10. Then use Firefox to browse the website www.simon.com and set up Firefox's network.dnsCacheEntries、network.dnsCacheExpiration、network.dnsCacheExpirationGracePeriod Three configuration items are 0. When accessing normally, www.simon.com points to 192.168.10.10. When the 192.168.10.10 server fails, will it redirect to 192.168.20.10. What is the latency for switching domain names in Firefox? What is the mechanism for switching?

When using shared group calendars (as it's commonly found in small companies) all events that are marked as "public" are visible with details on personal calendars that are shared on some public calendar. Changing to "private" solves, but one need to remember doing this while creating an event.

It would be very useful to have an option for switching to "private by default" when creating a new event. Any possibility? Anyone else with the same need?

That's a weird one, but I did some testing, and I am sure it is some problem with my Thunderbird or configuration.

Here is what I do. I received an email. I reply to it. I see the reply in the Sent folder. Then I click on the reply and choose to reply to that (as a follow-up email). I verify the recipient is correct and send it. They received my email, but I can no longer find it in my Sent folder. It is nowhere to be found. Tested with another email client - everything works as expected.

Does anyone have a clue what I am doing wrong??

Description of the Issue ​When I start a file download (especially a large file) in Firefox for Android and then use the Recent Apps/Overview screen to swipe the Firefox app away (closing the app), the download process is immediately cancelled and cannot be resumed. ​Expected Behavior ​An active, background download should continue running even if the user closes the main Firefox application window by swiping it away from the Recent Apps list, or it should at least become a resumable failed download. Many other Android apps (like Chrome, dedicated download managers, or media players) can maintain active background tasks even when swiped from recents. ​Steps to Reproduce ​Open Firefox for Android. ​Navigate to a website with a large file (e.g., a 200MB test file). ​Start the download and confirm it is active (visible in the notification panel). ​Press the Home button (or swipe up) to go to the main home screen. ​Open the Recent Apps / Overview screen. ​Swipe the Firefox app card away to close it completely. ​Check the Android notification panel and the Firefox Downloads history. ​Actual Result ​The active download is immediately and permanently cancelled. It must be started again from the beginning, leading to data waste and user frustration, especially on slow or unstable connections.

This is a new problem, and I don't know why - nothing has changed on the account. When trying to send an email, I get the message Sending of message failed. An error occurred while sending mail.The mail server responded Relay access denied. Authentication required. Please verify thst your email address is correct in your account settings, and try again. I have checked account settinga, and the address is correct. However, the 'from' address at the top of the email to be sent gives our names (Iain & Sue), the correct email address, then repeats the email address, then Cc Bcc. This does not seem right. Can you help, please? Iain Harrison

Good morning, the "Payment Methods" section has disappeared. In its place, I see a link called "Manage passkey in system settings," which takes me to the Windows 11 Passkey section, which I've NEVER enabled!

If I create a new profile, the "Payment Methods" section appears as normal, but when I link it to my Microsoft account for profile sync, the "Payment Methods" section disappears and "Manage passkey in system settings" reappears.

How can I fix this? Thanks

When I do try to create, rename or delete a profile, I get the message, "An unexpected error has prevented your changes from being saved".

I have a new Windows 11 PC. I installed Firefox first from the Windows store and had problems adding a second profile. Now, I've downloaded the full installer and still have the problem after multiple uninstalls, deleting the appdata Firefox folder and re-installing. I've also tried to rename the FF folder after encountering the problem and just restarting FF. It seems to create a new folder with profiles, but I can't create or delete the profiles from the profile manager or from about:profiles.

I've also checked that the folders and profiles.ini are not in read-only. I've also tried to manually create profiles or create profiles using the command prompt. Nothing seems to work.

I have a Windows 10 machine, have been using Thunderbird and pobox for years.

In case you're not familiar with pobox, it is a mail forwarding service; I pay for an email address and they forward email to up to three servers. I've thereby kept the same email address for a very long time, just changed the address(es) they forward to as I change ISPs, etc. At some point I quit using my ISPs server for my email and just used the one at pobox.com. Pobox was purchased by Fastmail, and so they have some new server names; my old ones have continued to work on my current system.

I use POP3 instead of IMAP because I want the email on my machine, not on a server somewhere. I configured Thunderbird to do this long ago, and so I don't remember details; I've been depending on being able to extract any needed information from its configuration. I am confident I have the password correct; I can log into the web interface to my email, and the password works there.

My new machine is a dual-boot Win11/Ubuntu; my plan is to use the Ubuntu machine almost exclusively and only boot Win11 when necessary. I want to move email operations to the new Ubuntu machine.

I've read info on moving Thunderbird; I find the profiles on the source machine, move up two directory levels, find the equivalent directory on the new machine, copy with replace. I found:

c:\Users\name\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird

on the Win10 machine, and

Home/snap/thunderbird/common/.thunderbird

on the Ubuntu machine, so I copied the files from the first to the second.

Having done that, when I start up Thunderbird, it displays a page saying "Set up your existing email address". If I do that, of course, it will create a new profile, and I still won't have the old one. I've tried creating it manually, but (a) I don't know how I will then merge it with an old profile and my thousands of email messages, and (b) I'm having trouble figuring out the incoming and outgoing server settings. I remember struggling with that back on Win7 or whenever it was.

Anyway. Anyone got suggestions on what might be going wrong here?

BLUFF:

1. Long start up times (do not see this on other browsers) 2. FIrefox often crashes. Browser tells me that a report has been sent. To where? No response. 3. How do I check if my browser is up to date?

What could be causing this? What are my effective actions to increase performance?

I’m new to Firefox and found the Textfox theme on GitHub, which is pretty cool. However, I’m having trouble with the pinned tab size, they’re too small. It seems the theme’s creator fixed this by using Sidebery, but I don’t want to use that extension. Is there a way to change the pinned tab size without Sidebery?

A site I use, bestcrosswords.com, has been acting weirdly since late on 11/18. Instead of the highlighting changing with the active word, the highlighting has gone completely haywire. I have already posted regarding that and filed a bug report (the problem does not occur in DuckDuckGo), but the site has started giving a suggestion I cannot follow.

Please see the image. I can see how the suggestion works on a desktop, but not a phone. Please forgive me if it's considered too obvious to document, but despite searching the phone's software and the Web for advice, I cannot find anyway to follow the site's suggestion.

Could someone clarify the point for me?

Thank you.
