I have search and have seen screen shots. But not actually how to do it. In firefox the Application Menu "the three lines or the Hamburger." How do you move it to the Left side of the screen instead on the default location on the top right. Also please correct me if this is not possible. And thank you in advance. I am on the latest version and currently using windows 10.

I use Firefox version 103, the old version that is perfectly compatible with an extension I always use. I love this old version, and I don't want to update it to the new version. But the update reminder pops up many times everyday. it's so annoying. I used "about config" to turn it off (see photo 2); it works a bit, but the popup still there once daily after the configuration. I want to turn it off permanently. Is there any way to do it? Thank you very much!!

I've been using Thunderbird for over a year now (oh, how I miss Eudora!) and the one continual irritation I have is that if I reply to an email from my inbox (usual), it sends a copy to my inbox. When I send an original message, I have a copy saved to my sent folder on my email provider (Protonmail). I'd like copies of replies saved to the same place. I do NOT want them in my inbox, and the "Place replies in the folder of the message being replied to" box is unchecked.

Just as an aside, occasionally I'll want to see on my phone emails that I've sent from my computer. Of course, I don't have access to Thunderbird from my phone (and pretty sure I don't want it there either).

How do I fix this?

I use firefox as my browser(I like it the best) I have edge on my computer because I upgraded to windows 10. I really dislike microsoft edge. I recently downloaded a couple of pdf's , in the settings it says that firefox opens the pdf. then I click on the pdf and when it opens it has a button that wants me to put edge as the default reader and so I go to the settings on firefox and it says that firefox is the reader tat opens the pdf but their is no way to make firefox my default pdf. it is really frustrating, as I said I really do not like the edge browser. Is there any way that this is fixed? thank you for your help!

I just had to clean install Firefox after having problems. I've pretty much set it up how I want it, except when I quit Firefox and then re-open it all the tabs come back. Which I don't want. The box in the settings page for opening with previous session is unchecked. What else am I missing? I re-started my computer just in case that was an issue but the problem continues. Thanks

There are times when I have 100's of messages in my INBOX, and others where for some reason, TB has my current message way below. So, on MacOS at least, I get the side bar active and I move it to the top. But I thought how clever it would be to have a button that simply reset the view to the top-most (current) message.

I'm having an issue with Fidelity Investments website logging me off after 5-10 minutes of inactivity. Before Fidelity's website redesign, I could go at least 30 minutes or more without having to login again. It seems now I have to login constantly.

I have contacted Fidelity, but the said it was a Firefox issue, however, I cannot find any information about this issue (or I don't know where to look).

How do I extend the time before needing to login again? Thoughts on if is this even a Firefox issue or is it Fidelity's website?

Thank you!

Issue 1: When using the scroll bar to browse the list of emails, it skips one email (advances too much), so when searching I sometimes cannot find that email. I tried resizing the list of emails to try to match the vertical size, but it does not seem to help.

Issue 2: I cannot customize the vertical size for the list of emails. It won't accept reducing less than about one third of the vertical size of the thunderbird window.

Issue 3: In between the list of emails and the display of the current email content, there is a large area that I find redundant. The 'From', 'To', 'Subject', 'Date' is redundant since the list of emails already show all this information. I cannot find a way to remove, minimize or compact this region. Even the list of buttons could be removed in my case since I mainly use shortcuts and anyway, they are available in the menu or when you right click on an email.

I have attempted to follow published instructions on how to manage extensions but the steps described are completely wrong. When I click the extensions icon, it opens the add-ons tab (does not present a list of extensions). There is no "gear" next to any of my extensions; just the on/off button and the .... button.

How can I force an extension to show on the toolbar?

Firefox is up to date (version 120.0).

The header below the list of emails and above the body of the selected email no longer shows the sender. Which seems really bizarre. I found under View either Headers - All or Headers - Normal. Headers - All gives it all plus the kitchen sink, twenty or thirty lines with a scroll bar. Headers - Normal just gives the subject, and the recipient - me. Which is a bit redundant! How can I get back to pre makeover headers?

We had "manually resort folders" in v102. And now, with v115 forced upon us. (This morning, when I opened Thunderbird, it was updated to v115 overnight without my knowledge. And the folders are not the way I left them nor how I want them. So I need to fix this. But the add-on no longer works. So what is Mozilla doing about this?

I have an issue with the address bar in private windows. Normally when you click on the search bar in the new tab page, it will redirect the cursor to the address bar instead of letting you use the search bar.

I found the following solution on the forum here that works for normal windows: go to the about:config page and set browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar to false.

For private windows, this fix does not work. It will still go to the address bar instead of letting you use the search bar. Is there another way for me to fix this so that it will also work in private windows?
