The Firefox icon on my taskbar has a great big green number 1 plonked on it. It doesn't seem to relate to the number of windows I have open or the processes running. It's there even when Firefox is closed. I thought it might be messages but I can't find those either. Its driving me nuts can you please tell me how to get rid of it? I'm running it in Ubuntu on a laptop.

I'm using last release Firefox in a fresh install of Debian 12 with KDE. Trying to personalize colors and get a coherent style, I've installed Firefox Color and it worked fine, except for a few GUI elements.

I solved the scrollbars part with this answer:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1419353

Is there a similar setting for the menus? I mean in Firefox's menu bar or the ones popping over the page. The dropdown of the burguer menu and the bookmarks toolbar do get styled (I will include images showing the difference).

Thank you in advance and to zeroknight for sharing the bit about scrollbars!

Hi, I've had this problem two other times with various upgrades, where my setting no longer works. I need horizontal lines between message headers in all folders. My eyes need the lines to be able to scan across and not get lost. I am using TB v115.3.3 on Windows 11 Home.

Here is an old version of my problem: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1277758

Here is the full content of my userChrome.css file that is located here: C:\Users\Victoria\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\hid4pw25.default\chrome

@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);

/* Add bottom border to thread pane (message list) */

  1. threadTree treechildren::-moz-tree-row {
 border-bottom: 1px solid grey !important;

}

Thank you for any help.

Opening Links Within Thunderbird and *NOT* Firefox

Per Alessandro Castellani, Thunderbird is "bunch of code running on top of Firefox." The Thunderbird extension site opens up a new *browser* tab *within* Thunderbird itself. Following this train of thought, why can't I open links in new tabs within Thunderbird itself?

Say I have an RSS feed link that links to another article. I click on that, and a whole new browser window opens up instead of staying within the Thunderbird application. Rather frustrating to see, considering how Thunderbird *is* capable of displaying web pages.

Supposedly, extensions like Link in Tab fix this. More power to you if you've gotten them to work, but it's useless for me. I've tried fiddling with about:config and the TB config editor, but neither one worked for me. Any other resources I've come across through search is either mildly outdated (i.e. 2019-2021) or horrifically outdated (i.e. 2008-2012).

Is this feature that I'm looking for completely nonexistent within Thunderbird itself, or am I just doing it wrong this whole time and I need someone to point out the obvious solution? I am desperately hoping for the latter, but my intuition is telling me it's the former.

Can anyone provide any help or insight as to why Thunderbird is sooooo determined to show me all of my 10 year old emails first? I have followed the documentation to change the order of emails shown but its still puts emails from 2013 right there at the top. Additionally, can anyone provide any insight as to why, and I do mean WHY, folks who are sharp enough to code an email client for commercial release are simultaneously so dull that they don't realize that setting the out of the box default sort settings of that email client to show oldest emails first is a misguided choice at best.

Thanks,

Mario

I screwed up and posted in the firefox section. Some how I must have deleted some folders and thus I haven't been getting all my email. I loved Thunderbird but I had to switch back to Outlook, because I just couldn't figure out how to restore anything. Is there any easy way or do I just have to give up?

I'm not very computer savvy but I followed a website a few months ago to edit Firefox so it'd default to dark mode. I think I went in and edited source code? I can't find the instructions anymore but I'd like to revert back to the original setting. How do I do that? I tried to refresh Firefox but it's still coming back with some websites in dark mode and some not. Please advise!

I connected Thunderbird to my IMAP account. In the account settings, I have in Copies & Folders -> Message Archives -> [x] Keep Message Archives in -> [x] "Archives" folder on (email address). And then in Archive Options I selected to place them in "a single folder".

However, it's not doing that. If I archive an email it ends up in a "2023" subfolder no matter what. I also tried selecting the second radio button "Other" where I then selected the same Archives folder manually.

Also, not sure if related, Thunderbird calls the folder "Archives" but my webmail calls it "Archived". In webmail, I now have a both folders showing, with both containing the same number of emails.

I am subscribed to all folders.

Dear Madam or Sir,

since updating to Firefox 99, we are unable to view PDF files in Firefox, because we are unable to select how to handle PDF files in the settings, cf. 1.PNG We don’t have any enterprise policies enabled except for disabling updates, cf. 2.PNG. We tried disabling hardware acceleration, but it did not help, cf. 3.PNG We tried safe mode and an empty user profile, both to no avail.

This problem seems to be irrespective of the user profile because when I roam my user profile to a machine with FF 93 ESR, there is no issue and I can view PDFs in the browser.

Is there any suggestion how to return the built-in PDF viewer?

Thank you very much in advance!

Best regards

Forgive me. I may have posted this question already but I can't find my post.

As we know port 10080 has been blocked by many if not all internet browsers and port 10080 is the port that most routers use for their "Guest" SSID access.

I have been told that it may be possible to configure FireFox "Nightly" or "Beta" to allow port 10080 access which is what my router uses for the Guest SSID.

This would be for an Android phone to be able to connect to the Guest SSID on my router using port 10080.

Does Nightly or Beta allow this and if so what are the reconfiguration instructions so I can allow port 10080 access on the Android phone?

Thank you for your help.
