Firefox could not download the search plugin from: https://d2lo25i6d3q8zm.cloudfront.net/browser-plugins/AmazonSearchSuggestionsOSD.Firefox.xml

another post suggested checking the about:config browser.search.region mine says "GB" which would be correct for .co.uk

All other search plugins work fine. Any suggestions?

I have a dark themed website with light colored lable that is positioned inside the input field and having the autofill to autocolor the input's background yellow makes things look horrendous. I've tried the following CSS:

``` input:autofill, input:-moz-autofill, input:-webkit-autofill {

   filter: none !important;
   background: rgba(0, 98, 155, 0.35) !important;

} ```

On top of that, I tried changing that for myself in about:config changing ui.-moz-autofill-background to false, but after clearing browser cache and doing a hard-refresh, the yellow autofill background color persists.

That would be a personal fix, but I would rather firefox not murder the theme of my site for others and let me have control of what color the autofill background color should be (if I even want there to be a difference in colors). Am I missing something? I don't simply want to turn that off for myself (although I still want to, but it didn't work). I want to change it for everyone visiting my site. (Like I'm able to change the colors of link or border colors or background colors of other elements).

I use multi-account containers extensively. Unfortunately, my laptop recently broke so I had to pull out my desktop which was in storage. I hadn't used my desktop in a few years, so I had to update Firefox to make it work.

Then I discovered that the multi-account container feature no longer works. It says it isn't supported in this latest version.

Is there any good way to fix this?

The multi-account container feature was what finally let me switch to the safety and privacy of Firefox. Prior to that, I used Chrome, but the multi-account containers were even better since I didn't have to tie a different account to each container.

It looks like I could roll Firefox back to an earlier version, but that would require creating an entirely new firefox account. It took me a substantial amount of time to get this one set up the way I like. I understand that you all want to protect my data, but frankly I feel like I've been put between a rock and a hard place.

Thank you for any help you are able to provide.

How to disable long text scrolling in emailed Adobe PDF form (when that feature is locked in Adobe)

I have created a form in Adobe Acrobat Pro with several form-fillable fields. All multi-line fields were created with the "long text scrolling" feature in Acrobat turned off, and all fields are locked.

However, when I email the form using Thunderbird and open it in Thunderbird (versus save and open in Adobe), all of the multi-line fields now allow text scrolling. As an example, I want only 5 lines of text to be entered in a particular box on the form, and Acrobat Pro and Reader perform correctly and limit the number of lines to 5. But when I email the form and open it in Thunderbird, I can enter unlimited lines of text.

As this form will be primarily emailed to recipients, I want to be sure the line limitation survives emailing. Is there a setting in Thunderbird I'm missing when sending, or opening the form?

Thanks

Hi there!

How can I see the full mail adress in my list of received emails (instead of just a name)? It's kind of a security issue, since everybody can just pick any name. My friend Robert can send me a mail showing his name is PayPal. It's an open door to scammers and deception!

It seems like there were add-ons in the past "Show Adress Only" or "Full Adress Column" but they're not supported by new Thunderbird versions.

How come an add-on is needed to show such a simple and already received information? There are so many things that can be displayed but this important one seems missing. I would feel much better if I could see the real mail adress for any mail received without having to click on it. Thunderbird would feel more professional.

Are there any other supported add-ons to enable it? Why doesn't Mozilla add this function?

Best regards

message pane field order makes identifying who received a message hard to see

For a long time, I've used the inbox to also receive the outgoing messages, in order to assist with threading of messages that end up creating a thread with multiple messages, but I am finding an issue going forward with the newer version, which is that a stand alone sent message shows my sending mail address, and the subject, which makes it hard to identify who the message was sent to in the list of messages, particularly if the same message is sent to several recipients, but not using the facility to have multiple addresses in the send header, which usually is because there are different attachments sent to different recipients.

I do this by using BCC to my own address, and this does two things, it gives me a confirmation that the ISP mail server was able to process the message, and it helps with managing threads that can become lengthy

I have been looking for a way to edit the order of the fields in the header pane, but can't find a way to do it, so that I could put the recipient mail above the sender mail, but even if I could do that, I can't be sure if the display of the data would then give me the recipient in a visble format.

Is there a way round this, or will it require changes to the package to make it possible?

Thanks

Steve

So I’m looking at a help document in a web page. It tells me to push this button or that. So I go the affected app and try to find the button mentioned in the help file. Can’t find it, so return to Firefox to re-read the help file. The window is gone. I can find the tab for it, so I can open it pretty quick, but why do I have to? Why does that window have to close? This is yet another reason to switch from Firefox to something else.

Hi,

As the subject says, i cannot remove the up and down arrows from forms that have a numerical input even though autofill/history options are cleared and disabled. I've even tried deleting cookies, cache, site data and so on, to no avail. I've also tried a clean terminal with no extensions installed and i have the same issue. Other browsers do not have this issue on the exact same form. I am at a loss, any assistance would be appreciated.
