Dear Community,

i had .cfg file with following settings to clean up some userdata after closing firefox:

//Clean UP Cache etc. lockPref("privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown", true); lockPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.cache", true); lockPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.cookies", false); lockPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.offlineApps", true); lockPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.sessions", false);

This cleaned the "Storage" Folder in the Firefox Profile folder, but cookies and sessions where remaining, so the logins where active.

Now i saw that all useres have lots of folders in the "Storage/Default" folder. After some research i found out that this behavior startet at 02.10.2024.

I also found a new pref: privacy.clearOnShutdown_v2.cookiesAndStorage which was set to "false". No idea where this key came from? When I set this key to "Yes", the storage is cleared after closing Firefox. But so also all the cookies. Was there a change at the prefs?

And is ther any other solution to clear the Storage but remain the cookies?

Thank you in advance!

Hello, I would like to disable an IMAP account, i.e. put the account offline. I have seen the following suggestion : going into server parameters and unchecking the 3 boxes : check emails on startup, check emails every x minutes, enable notifications when new emails arrive. But this doesn't work when I click on "check new emails". I need this because the connection of this account currently doesn't work and a connection window pops up each time I check for new emails, which I want to avoid until the problem is resolved, without having to delete the account from Thunderbird. In many mail clients there is an option to disable an account, but I didn't manage to find it in Thunderbird. How to do this ?

How do I change the height dimension of my toolbars?

My toolbars are too wide in height, taking up 1/3 - 1/2 of my screen, and the pop-ups narrow my screen in height to where I can only read one or two lines of text at a time. (I am sure that using larger fonts is part of the problem. But my old eyes prefer a font size of 14 and above.)

I was using DuckDuckGo and it failed a connection, now trying to switch to Firefox as my browser. I still get confused about browsers and search engines, but I want to be able to connect to a website that did not function with DuckDuckGo, all of a sudden and for no reason I could figure out. I have Microsoft 365 Windows 11 (I think) on 1 laptop and Windows 10 on another laptop; I am trying to use the newer laptop with Windows 11 but not totally switched over.

I could not access this website https://sevasindhuservices.karnataka.gov.in/home.do why please help me

After new installation of Windows 11 and Thunderbird at 15.Jan 2025 I had to restore my local Folders to get accessions to prior e-mails. With the function Import it wasn't be possible to import the real data. With konto-parameter I could set the file to the prior profiles, but I could only set it to one of multiple subfolders, to get access to the e-mail data. My solution (but not really a good solution): to copy all data of the prior profile to the profile of the new installation (without a function of Thunderbird - manually by the simple Explorer). You need all data inclusive all folders and files in the \Mail\Local Folders\ with all .sbg Files (= SubFolders with SubSubfolders), .msf (name of Subfolders with data) and the data files. (in Explorer all System files and System folders must be visible). I had then problems to reorginize the subfolders then in Thunderbird and to delete data ---> with manually reorganizing, renaming and deleting unnessary data by the simple Explorer this was easier and faster.

The Import Function should be improved - no reply necessary

With the istallation in Nov 2024 (when I had the identical problem) I didn't recognized this problem

Thanks

why won't Firefox let me log into login.gov account? I get an error and don't get into my account however when I use chrome I get in immediately. I need Firefox to allow me to open my SSI account on Firefox browser. My friend who introduced me to Firefox said it works fine for him. I have waited 4 -5 year for this to improve. I need clear easy instructions with pictures to get this right. Please help me. I need simple and Firefox is getting complicating. Way over my head. Thank you ahead of time. I appreciate the support.
