I'm syncing Thunderbird with the iPhone/iPad/iOS contact list by using the plug-ins TbSync and Provider for CardDAV and CalDAV. (Thunderbird 115.6.1 on Windows 11). It *seems* to work okay, but now I'm starting to notice two problems:

1) The "suffix" field of certain people's information has mysteriously been filled in with "SORT-STRING:lastname, firstname". I sure didn't put that there.

2) Thunderbird can't display all 3500 contacts in my contact list. It used to, but now it displays blank fields. (Other address books display fine.) However, if I search for a subset of contacts (i.e., "Jane") it correctly displays everyone with Jane in their name.

Any suggestions?

Hi.

Similar to this question: https://support.mozilla.org/ln/questions/1291938

I would like to know how to customize "autoconfig.js" or "firefox.cfg" so that the home page is focused instead of the address bar when I open Firefox.

I the linked question, the following solutions works fine for focus content on New Tab:

    Services.obs.addObserver((event) => {
      window = BrowserWindowTracker.getTopWindow();
      window.gBrowser.selectedBrowser.focus();
    }, "browser-open-newtab-start");
  } catch(e) { Cu.reportError(e); }

It works fine, but I can't make it work for the Homage page when it's configured to open a local file.

I tried to bind the "window.gBrowser.selectedBrowser.focus();" action on the "browser-open-homepage-start" event but it has not effect.

Thanks.

Is there a way to add "Search [search engine] for [highlighted text] in new container tab" option to the right click menu?

I would like to be able to highlight texts in one container and search for them in another container (or no container) from the right click menu. Is there a way to add this functionality?

Some additional points: i) Currently, if I highlight a text and right click and search Google for it, the new tab opens in the same container (or no container). I don't want to remove this option, I just want to add the option to be able to do this search in any container I have available. ii) Functionality I want is very similar to how it works when you highlight links, where you have option to open in new tab or open in new container tab you choose. iii) I don't want to assign all my searches to a specific container by forcing "always open [domain] in [container]". For example, I already have a Google container, I do not want searches to go to that container by default, I want to be able to choose where they go. Assigning all Google links to a container makes it hard for me to segregate searches from containers where I use other Google services. iv) The way I do this currently is by highlighting text and then opening a new tab in a container and then searching separately, which is inconvenient. v) If this feature doesn't exist, is it possible to request this feature? How would one go about doing that?

Thank you very much for any help. This is something that's been bugging me a bit lately.

In Find and install Add-ons on Firefox for Android, the author described the method to update addons: update Firefox and the addons will be auto-updated. That, however, didn't take place when I update. The addons haven't ever been updated since the first installation! And I believe my network is always stable. Could you please tell me how to update my addons manually? Uninstalling them and then reinstalling surely solve the issue, but bother and cause the loss of my settings.

I'm noticing some inconsistent (and irritating) behavior when tapping the urlbar in Firefox for Android. I have noticed 3 distinct options, either it will highlight the entire url as expected, will only highlight the tail end of the url (after the initial /), or it will not highlight anything.

Hello Mozilla Forums members,

  I am in need of advice for Mozilla Firefox v 73 browser on my PC;I have noticed since Moz FF Quantum browsers have switched to WebExtension format addons after FF v 57 (??) and would like to know how i may allow an "XPI" format addon to work in a FF Quantum browser without the browser deferring to a WebExtension addon preference(this quantum browser is forcing to use a WebExtension format addon instead of the XPI format older addon version!!)??

I have had good luck with XPI addons on other Windows NT HDDs without WebExtension "force enabling" as primary addon format but I am having issues on another HDD that has yet to only allow Chrome CRX file format addons to work properly on my PC Chrome browsers...(!?!?!?!)

Thanks in advance for your help and solutions to this FF older version addon issue!!

I have 2 issues/questions

1. I have experienced websites not being installable on Firefox, but I know there is a PWA available, as I have installed it on chromium browsers. Is there something I can do to remedy this myself, or is this a problem with Firefox (future update?) Example: investor.nordea.no

2. The Brave Browser, spesifically, has a tendency to let websites run as a PWA, despite it not being available to install. (Opens as a seperate application) Is it possible to do something like this in Firefox? Example: https://www.marinetraffic.com

Is there a way of limiting the downloads at one time and to queue others? If i cant find an answer I'm getting rid of firefox as it is stuffing up like it use to do and you cant contact Mozilla for help. If they aren't going to supply help then why put out add ons with faults Thanks for any help.

or maybe it's the toolbar strip/bar. anyway, i can't figure out how to change colors at the top of the window.

almost the whole thunderbird window is black and my desktop is black, so it's hard to discern where one starts and the other ends.

my firefox browser has a gray bar at very top, but just below that, where the toolbar and tabs are, is blue. would like thunderbird to be like that.

any ideas, ya'll? thanks for your consideration

So I was looking for a site I had visited a few days ago in Firefox's FULL HISTORY panel (History / Show All History) and was having a hard time finding the link as I had watched a bunch of YouTube videos that day and it was hard to find the right link.

Is there a way to add a PAGE TITLE category to the results list as that would make things much easier to find as I knew what the title was vaguely from memory so having this would have made searching much easier but I didn't see it when I right clicked the category labels bar so could not added it in the normal manor.

So is there a way to add a new category to sort the history by that calls up each pages title similar to what is shown in the tabs when you are surfing it shows the page title.

This is for laptop and FF version 121.0 (64 bit)

Thanks

On some websites, the videos that are being displayed come with the loop attribute associated with it. Firefox conveniently adds an option in the right-click menu which in entitled "loop", where you can enable/disable the video from looping. Here's an example of what it looks like: https://assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/media/uploads/images/2024-01-06-07-22-59-911af7.png

However, some websites have auto-looping by default, meaning that if I want to see several videos without auto-looping, I would have to disable it on every video I see, which becomes very (very!) cumbersome.

Surprisingly I haven't found a way to make sure that this checkbox is disabled by default, i.e. that all videos play without auto-loop enabled. This leads me to my questions: Is there a way to consistently disable auto-loop across websites on FireFox?

With the major changes to Quick Filter I cannot find a simple way to return to the previous location in the Inbox. It used to be easy to get back to the bottom/top of the list. But now, if I do a Quick Filter and then cancel, without selecting any found message, the previous focus in the Inbox is lost. I have to click any message that is displayed, and then navigate to the top/bottom. Seems trivial but I search frequently and these extra steps are annoying and slower. It would be better if canceling Quick Filter returned to the previous location and focus as the old version did. Am I missing a trick for this?
