Do these plugins exist? If not, please make them, I need them!

1) The plugin lets you make filters for all mailboxes and folders, or for any selection of them, rather than for just a single folder/mailbox. Some things I filter for may arrive in any of several mailboxes, depending on the address I used, and it's a drag to create the same filter for each of them.

2) The plugin lets you search in specific mailboxes or folders, or for any selection of them, without having to wade through masses of irrelevant results from other folders.

3) The plugin shows you, in search results, what folder each email is in. Currently, when I do a search, each folder containing any results is on the list showing how many results it contains, and if I click on it I can see those results, but that's not the same - and it goes away when the results are shown as a list.

Thank you.

Saving emails as .eml files, and creating folders

I've created the email account, and it can send and receive emails ok. In FiltaQuilla, I have checked "Save message as file." On the screen that shows my incoming emails, I have right-clicked on the account, I click on New Folder, and I created "Sales." So, Sales shows under the main entry, but there is not a physical folder named Sales. Under Tools / Message Filters, I have it set to move to Sales under the main entry.

When the mail is received, it is moved to Sales. But... There is a file named "Sales" (which I assume contains all of the Sales emails), but there is not a physical folder. And I cannot find .eml files.

What am I leaving out?

(You'll notice in the attached screen shot that I have changed the default location.)

       Thank you.

Can I change the directory where Firefox stores the add-on xpi files? Our company's IT dept is constantly deleting or corrupting them. Right now it's: C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\riqfpq8g.default-release\extensions If I could just add a folder and tell firefox where the files are, this might solve that problem. Any ideas?

I am running Firefox 148.0 and Thunderbird 148.0. I am in the process of moving everything to a new (to me) computer that will run Windows 11. When I start Firefox from the start menu or the taskbar everything runs as expected. I have the Adblock Plus extension plus several others running. If I click on a Hyperlink in a email in Thunderbird instead of opening in a new tab into the currently open copy of Firefox as it did on my old computer running Windows 10 it opens in a new window with no extensions. I am assuming that I have something set incorrectly. Any help as to where I should look to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated.

A number of times when I'm answering email and need to check back on the list of emails, I don't see a Tab to take me directly to my list of email accounts (I have 8). A couple of times I've had to shut down T-bird and re-launch it to get back to this list/window. I don't understand why such a Tab isn't available everywhere.

So I'm looking for an add-on which would allow me to add a specific Tab on the T-bird pages where it isn't there, specifically, a Tab to get to the window which has the list of my email accounts.

If there is such a customization, I'd appreciate getting a link to get it.

Hi, I am using Firefox to open my different mail boxes from : yahoo.fr or orange.fr or laposte.net. Usually everything are going OK and I can read the attached files except the one sent by my friend from England. Sorry for my English but you may have understood I am french (nobody is perfect). Well, I am using windows 11, he is using windows 11 ; I am using Firefox but he is using mainly Microsoft Outlook. All his attachment are coded as winmail.dat and I can't open them. If I use Microsoft Edge it's not much better. When he uses Chrome and Gmail it's perfect and I can open his attachment with Firefox. He is a computer man, programmer, and his Outlook seems to be correctly set and he doesn't understand the problem or what's happening. I am not the only one in that case. It seems it's an Outlook setting specific problem according to Microsoft. Clearly, I don't want to give up with Firefox. Does it exist an add-on or extension for Firefox which could solve this difficulty ? or a decoder add-on ? It seems there is at least one for Thunderbird but 6 yo... Would it run under Firefox even it's specific ? For fun I should try Firefox with Linux just to see if Linux is better at decoding winmail.dat attachments. Thanks for any help, setting or specific add-on you can provide me. Richard.

I'm using Fennec Firefox on mobile and I'm having this problem where my the page refreshes on the slightest touch. I'd like to turn this gesture off all together. I have done some research and found this code: document.addEventListener('touchstart', function(event) {

   // Check for a swipe down gesture to prevent refresh action
   if (event.touches.length > 0) {
       // Prevent default action
       event.preventDefault();
   }

}, { passive: false });

document.addEventListener('touchmove', function(event) {

   // Prevent default action to avoid refresh
   event.preventDefault();

}, { passive: false }); I put it into a java script extension and it worked, but then I wasn't able to scroll up or down. I don't know anything about java or python, so if someone could give me a hint or point me in the right direction that would be helpful. I am also looking through the source code of Firefox looking for answers.
