Whenever I select 'don't open in app' Firefox remembers this and never ever asks me if I want to open i app again. Selecting always open in app still doesn't open in app. I have reset Firefox and reinstalled it but that doesn't help.

Hello forum participants,

since some Firefox versions the setting "browser.fixup.alternate.suffix" no longer works. I found that all "browser.fixup.alternate" entries do not work anymore. After searching the web I found an answer that the fixup.alternate options don't work when the protocol is https. So, because today nearly all Websites use https, this options are completely without function. In my case I want to add the default TLD ".de" if I do not enter the TLD. Is there any place (except source code, of course) to configure this behavior for https, too?

Many thanks in advance! Have a nice day

I use Firefox on Raspberry pi os. I have a lot of help files saved in mht format. How can I open these files in Firefox? Chrome supports such files without additional configuration, but I would not like to use this browser on Raspbian, since it consumes much more resources than Firefox. It is undesirable to use a different format.

As I am a corporate website administrator and I use an ultra-wide monitor with a resolution of 3840x1600 pixels, I need to be able to run firefox with window size of full HD to verify the compatibility of the site for common displays.

How can I ensure that the Firefox window always starts at this size?

In the case of Chrome, you just add the parameter -window-size=1920,1080

Unfortunately, this solution does not work here (so it worked in older versions).

I found some plugins that promised this, but none worked correctly.

I find the option to set a default size to be very basic and essential and prevents me from switching from Chrome to Firefox.

i made a custom firefox colour setup for my desktop machine, and it doesn't have any option to save it- because of this, on my laptop which is synchronized to my desktop's firefox settings, it is not showing up at all and if i go to firefox colour it isn't there for me to add. so how do i DO this???

i do not want to maker my custom setup public so it is not available to all, it is my own setup using some of my own artwork which i do NOT want made public on the internet.

there MUST be a way to save it however and let my laptop's firefox also display it,m yes???

and on that topic, why isn't it just automatically synchronizing when everything else does?

While this information helped me with my Ionos email accounts, the directions will work for anyone who has to add extra SMTP Servers to send email from various email accounts. Email providers are requiring that the sending email match the receiving email to reduce the amount of spam being sent from their servers. So this is not a question--rather directions after 3 hours on the help line to figure out the proper procedure to add additional SMTP Servers. I wrote the direction below for my own use, but this may help someone else. The critical clue is to restart Thunderbird during the process so the new SMTP Server info gets 'remembered' (I am not a programmer, so my simple words).

=========

How to add additional SMTP Servers to Thunderbird (I am using v155.7.0)

To meet Ionos’ new security settings, you must now have each of your email accounts use an outgoing server that matches the incoming server.

1. Select account (name of the specific email account/mailbox); click on Account Settings (far upper right hand corner 2. The Outgoing Server (SMTP) will have to match the incoming server, so you will need to add an Outgoing Server (SMTP) that identifies with your account. You cannot add an Outgoing Server (SMTP) from this window. 3. Scroll down left side column until you see Outgoing Server (SMTP). Select that item. That will open the window ‘Outgoing Servers (SMTP) Settings’ where you may add new SMTP Servers. 4. Select Add... This will open a window ‘SMTP Server’. Enter a unique description for the SMTP Server so you can easily identify it to match it to the respective email account. This is very important to you can later tie it to the specific email account. 4a. (This configuration is specific to Ionos as of Feb 2024) Add the server name (ex. smtp.ionos.com) and the respective Port (465), Connection Security ‘SSL/TSL’ and Authentication ‘Normal Password’. User Name is your specific email address that will match this SMTP Server. Save (OK). 4b. Restart Thunderbird. Yes, really, close and reopen Thunderbird. This action will force Thunderbird to save and then recognize this new SMTP Server. If you don’t restart Thunderbird, it will not find the correctly configured SMTP Server and you will go crazy. 5. Go to the specific email account that you have setup the Outgoing Server (SMTP) and again open Account Settings (far upper right hand corner. At the bottom of the Account Settings screen is the Outgoing Server (SMTP) and the default server. Click on the dropdown box (little arrowhead pointing down) of the SMTP server to get the newly added SMTP Server and select the SMTP Server that matches the email of this account. The information is automatically saved. 6. Go into your specific email account and send an email. Thunderbird will ask for the email password. Input the correct password and click on the box to save the password. Your email will now work using that specific SMTP Server you created unique to your specific email account. 7. Repeat for each unique email account. Remember to clearly identify the newly created SMTP Server name and to restart Thunderbird for each new Outgoing Server (SMTP) or Thunderbird will not have the settings to work correctly with that specific email account. This is to prevent spammers from sending tons of emails from various accounts.

Some of incoming emails cannot find in inbox. Did not shows in my inbox. I must made some filter by accident which I cannot remove it. What I can do? I see them in inbox of other PC or mobile.

Does anyone know how to do this?

To give a better description:

1) I partially type a website I've visited into the address bar and the history recommendations show up. For example, I type "yout", the address bar shows "youtube.com"

2) I middle mouse click on the "youtube.com" recommendation to open it in a new tab.

3) Firefox is instantly swapping me to that tab and ignoring the behavior I changed for tabs.

I have "browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground" set to true. When I use middle mouse on a link on a website, the behavior works as intended. The link opens in a separate tab but keeps me in the same tab from which I clicked.

I just upgraded to MacOs Sonoma 14.3.1, and all of a sudden my "normal" Thunderbird notification sound became an obnoxious, loud sound that I can't stand. I went into Thunderbird sound settings and discover that the incoming mail "play the following sound file" box option is greyed out. It seems like Sonoma wants to do it's own thing... I've tried going into my Mac's system settings, and under "sound," I can choose various alert sounds, but none do anything to change the Thunderbird notification sound. I called AppleCare, and they don't seem to know anything about it yet. I guess more folks need to bring Sonoma notification issues to their attention asap... My question: Is there a way under Thunderbird's (v115.7.1) sound settings to "un-grey-out" this "play the following sound file" in order to overide what the new MacOs is doing? Thanks, Jack

Thunderbird, with the latest update, will decide on its own who moves some inbox item or two to the archive file without me doing anything. When I discovered the emails in the archive file I can move them back to the inbox without any problem but I would like to stop Thunderbird from sending anything to the archive unless I tell it to do so.

I would appreciate any insight I could get from anyone on what may be going on and how can I resolve the problem.

Why does Thunderbird INSIST on directing web links to Bing?

I have changed the Windows Default browser to FireFox.  I have restarted my machine and restarted Thunderbird multiple times.  When I go to Windowz settings it tells me that FireFox is my default browser.  Yet Thunderbird continues to direct links from an email to that CLINKING CLATTERING CONGLOMERATION OF COLLIGINOUS JUNK that is Bing.

Any help would be appreciated.

Refresh Screen nags are beginning to take over my web-surfing experience. On InstaCart I get hundreds of Screen Refresh nags -- one right after the other. Blowing Screen Refresh nags out of the water won't hurt my feelings... InstaCart will generate thousands of Refresh Screen nags -- until I nuke it.

I am trying to install Adobe Flash player in Firefox 84.0 (the last version support Flash player) when running in a docker container (Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS). I had tried to run Firefox in my real machine (Linux 6.1.0-17-amd64 Debian 12) and it worked well. I just copy the file "libflashplayer.so" to the path "~/.mozilla/plugins". But when Firefox is running in a container, I do the same but it can't found Flash player plugin. No matter where I place the libflashplayer.so, like "~/.mozilla/plugins" or "/usr/lib/firefox/firefox", it don't work, I can't find Flash player in "about:plugins" or "about:addons". I start Firefox from a terminal and there is no error log. I have no idea why it can detect flash player plugin while running in a real system but don't work when running in a container. Thanks.

I would like to ban the Quora website altogether but especially from answering searches I make. What I have found so far does not work. Any suggestions? If I can do that I might even do that to another website that I see no value in. Thank you.

On new window (`Ctrl-N`) I want the focus to be on the url bar, not the homepage. I believe this is the default behavior if no homepage is set, but I want to set this behavior independent of the homepage setting.

Is there a setting for this?

Same as below, but solution did not work for me.
