Hi!

When my Firefox automatically updated to the latest version, I noticed that lots of random things were in French instead of English.

As you can see on the screenshots lots of random things are in French, and I really hate it.

Please note that my computer language is English and my display language in Firefox is also English; but my PC has Windows 10 Pro Education and it was given to me in French.

How can i customize Firefox with my own privacy-settings and save those settings for a new installation? Each time after installing Firefox i must go trough all the settings once again. To avoid this time consuming steps, is there a way to import all user-specific-settings for a new installation? The screenshot i attached below clearly shows IT IS POSSIBLE to pre-edit firefox settings for a new installation. Question remains, how can i do that?

For example i wish to always use those settings: (all set to false)

toolkit.telemetry.enabled privacy.resistFingerprinting geo.enable extensions.pocket.enabled media.peerconnection.enabled browser.urlbar.placeholderName > DuckDuckGo

-nevery remember history -dns over https -block tracking content in all windows (not only private) -block cross site and social media tracking -ublock origin extension active -delete cookies and site data when firefox is closed -enable https only mode in all windows

Hello there,

I am switching to Thunderbird form the standard Mail from W10 and discovering lots of new features, but one thing that cannot seem to find is how to keep one old account I have (may junk mails but some useful too) out of the unified folders where my other accounts are (all of them imap). Right now I check it through the web browser but may be I can have it separated in thunderbird too.

Thanks in advance for your time!

Hi,

I often search with the adress bar without thinking, and when searching 'maps' I accidentally hit 'yes' on the little drop down that says 'did you mean...' with the url. Now every time I try to search 'maps' in the address bar unless I specifically press the down key or use @g (or @ddg etc) I am taken to a url I have no use for. How do I disable this default? I spent ages trawling through settings to try to find where to turn this off.

Thank you so much!

I hate surprises like these! So far i trusted FF that after an update my layout would still be intact as was, but no they forced this black sh.. onto me as a background for the home page - and no alternative anywhere to switch this back to white or any other options. Do i want to install a plugin for this simple basic option - hell no, i'd rather get rid of FF as my default browser if you think you can play dictators too now. What i miserable attitude you people have. If you change for life )white) to dead (black) you might as well declare you are on your way out as a browser - or offer the option to change that bg color real quick

The support site [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/password-manager-remember-delete-cha...] says that the Tools menu has an Options under it, or alternatively I can click on the three horizontal bars in the upper right and select Options under that.    Neither of those approaches is working for me. Under Tools, there are 17 selections, none of them for Options. Under the three horizontal bars, there are 18 selections, none of them for Options. I'm using Thunderbird version 91.5.0.    Is there another way to get to Options?

In ebay, when I want to send an item to a friend using the email button, it automatically uses Apple Mail. It used to go to Gmail, which I prefer. How can I change it to go back to Gmail. Thanxalot.

My computer froze opening an pdf file. I had to reboot. When I did I lost my compressed zip folder ? it is not in my content type under applications. How do I add it back ? Help ?

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.

I am unable to reduce size of folder pane. When move across interface line between folder pane and reading pane the mouse pointer changes to a double ended arrow as it should but...a. the folder pane grows by 1 character to the right on every occurance. and b. trying to drag line to the left has no effect. However, dragging it to the right works fine. The end result is that I now have a 10" wide folder pane and a 1" wide reading pane. This is a windows PC running Edge. All updates are up to date.

I would like to add a second account (POP 3) to be used ONLY for incoming mail, and use the same, original account (Gmail, IMAP) for all outgoing mail. But I cannot continue with the setup unless I also set up an outgoing server.

After upgrading to Thunderbird 102.8.0 (64-bit), the Forward Mail button in the toolbar is no longer available in "Customize". The Forward button (as in forward-and-back, not what I need) is still there, but it's greyed out. I've gone through the reset process in "Customize", put everything back on the toolbar, but the problem persists. What's next? (This supersedes the similar question I sent a few minutes ago, before I realized that there are 2 kinds of Forward buttons)

The Firefox for Android add-ons section (yes, I made sure I was in the 'for Android' add-ons web address, as opposed to the 'desktop add-ons' web address) is saying "You'll need Firefox to use this extension" and not allowing me to install add-ons as the page employs a download firefox link that leads to an "Open" button in the Google Play Store, as I already have Firefox installed. I have tried many different add-ons to test if the issue is isolated to a single add-on and to test if it is an add-on compatibility issue, and it seems to be a consistant issue with all add-ons. Yes my underlying operating system (Android), and the Firefox for Android app are both up-to-date with the latest versions. I have located the Firefox support page labeled "Unable to install add-ons (extensions or themes)" and was able to work through the the list of potential issues and their solutions, to determine that every item on the list was either inapplicable or not the problem/solution. What am I missing?

In Thunderbird (v. 102.9.0), I have all folders set to the same column structure. I have used the add-on XNote++ for a long time and it used to work fine. Now, however, when I open Thunderbird or even activate the window after coming out of "sleep" mode, either (1) the XNote++ column is moved from the extreme right of the window (where I want it) to the extreme left; or (2) the column disappears altogether. This happens only for the first folder that is active. If I switch to another folder, the columns are correct. So each time I have to go through the process of copying another folder's column structure to the corrupted folder.

I don't know whether this is a result of a new release of Thunderbird or some change in XNote++, but it didn't used to act this way. Any suggestions?
