Does any of the mods know when the VPN for android will be available in the rollout regions ? I tried to connect and the toggle is now greyed out showing connecting..... Thank you

Hello, I am writing to report a critical flaw in the new Firefox Local Backup mechanism (HTML-based container). After formatting my PC and installing a fresh copy of Windows 10/11, I attempted to restore my 10 years of browser history using a valid backup file (.html, ~102 MB) created by Firefox 153.0.4.

Although the password was correct (the UI immediately rejected incorrect ones), the restore process completely failed and entered a destructive loop. Instead of extracting the data, Firefox started infinitely creating hundreds of empty profile folders in %AppData%\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles without throwing a visible error to the user, completely messing up the profiles.ini file.

What had to be done to recover the data: Since standard unarchivers (7-Zip) and tools like Windows certutil couldn’t parse the hybrid HTML/Base64 container, we had to reverse-engineer the recovery process using the internal Firefox source modules (PreferencesBackupResource.sys.mjs and SessionStoreBackupResource.sys.mjs from omni.ja).

We had to write a custom Node.js script to:

1. 1 Parse the specific block-by-block Base64 encoding used by Mozilla inside the HTML wrapper.
2. 2 Manually decrypt the raw binary data using the backup password.
3. 3 Extract places.sqlite, logins.json, key4.db, and sessionstore.jsonlz4 manually.
4. 4 Manually inject these files into a freshly registered profile.

The Bug Core: The built-in extractor in Firefox fails on fresh OS/browser installations due to path/profile synchronization errors, causing a crash loop that generates endless ghost profiles.

Please review the block-by-block extraction logic and add strict exception handling to the Local Backup UI so it doesn't break the profile directory when a routine error occurs.

Thank you.

Thunderbird has stopped getting messages and 'get messages' doesn't work & I have to close & restart thunderbird to receive them. Nothing has changed with the email client itself.

I know messages have arrived by checking my providers phone app, but for Thunderbird to download them to my PC I now have to restart Thunderbird to get new messages

Firefox was running very slowly on my computer. Web pages take a long time to load and sometimes Firefox becomes unresponsive. I have restarted Firefox, but the problem is still happening. Please help me fix this issue.

I have paid for Mozilla VPN subscription for many years - maybe 10 years - but now cannot activate it. I am using: Firefox 154.0.1 (64-bit)

I have been using Outlook Lite to keep my work inbox separate from my personal, I was going to switch over to Thunderbird however I need authorisation from my IT Dept to allow access. What do I need to detail in the request to them in order to quickly / easily get them to process this?

Bonjour, La copie des messages envoyés n'apparait pas toujours dans le dossier des messages envoyés. C'est très gênant, comment faire pour rétablir la situation? Je voudrai avoir en copie TOUS les messages envoyés. MERCI
