After manually deleting a link from my bookmarks, that unneeded link is still suggested in the address bar after the fact.

This is while using the Windows version of Firefox 140. In the Search > Address Bar — Firefox Suggest section of settings, I only have the Bookmarks option enabled. I've tried disabling History > Remember search and form history and enabling History > Clear history when Firefox closes options as well but still have the problem.

I'd really appreciate any advice.

In the latest update, the search engine toggle needs me to use the mouse. First, I just had to press ↓ and then toggle between the search engines. Now, I have to do an Shift + Tab to scroll through the list, which is tedious!

Can the old functionality be brought back or maybe a shortcut added for the toggle?

Since December 2024 I've been unable to get current emails when I perform a search in Thunderbird. Often I search for emails from a particular sender. I know I've received something from that sender within a week or two. I'm frustrated to find the search function only returns email from many months ago, when I know for a fact I got an email from the particular sender 10 or even 2 days ago. The most recent emails are just not appearing in the search results. The problem started in the last week or two of December and has continued and compounded since. I had been hoping that it would clear itself up, but no amount of re-booting my computer or the program seem to be re-settting the archive that the search function looks through. I'm coming into the tax season and I really do need the search function to support me sift through and find the details I need from my clients. Help! Thank you! Jessica McKnight

Hello, I have a large database of emails. When i conduct a search from the search bar then it gives me a wide list of search results with multiple emails and different filter options on the left side. However, when i select the option "show result as list" from the top right, then on another window with list view it only shows very few mails and not all.

For example, on initial search it shows 109 emails for that particular keyword search. But on choosing show as list - it shows only 30 emails (instead of 109) !!. Screen shots attached for above example.

Kindly advise how to resolve.

How do I find where zip code is stored? When I use zip code search, it is prefilled to 48201.

I live in 45014. I do not know where the above zip came from. I've only ever been to Michigan once in my life and that was in 2002.

I've searched in settings and can't find where a location is stored.

I have written you all now three times. I cannot use Safeway.com to order my groceries and have had this problem since October of last year. I have to use another brower, which I detest to make my orders. All of my preferences are on the safeway.com page but when I search, let's just say "eggs" it tells me that my spelling must be wrong or there are no items that match my search. Please please help me fix this. I have called Safeway.com 4 times and they say it is a Firefox issue. Thank you.

Is there a way to see [or have a folder] for all starred emails?

I have been moving and saving starred emails in folders. When I read email on my iPhone, I can see a total number for flagged emails but cannot find messages easily. When I go to Thunderbird on desktop, I have to look through folders. I would find it helpful to be able to view all flagged emails in one place, to periodically see if the flags are still helpful, if I have missed something, etc.

Whenever I search for a word in emails that I have in my mailboxes, Thunderbird displays the underlying HTML code of emails, rather than their formatted form. When I click on one of these, it displays correctly, i.e., formatted. This is very annoying, as the HTML can be quite long. See attachment of beginning of result for searching the word "libération".

Saved message not visible in Drafts (But Search says it's there.)

I run TBird 128.7.1 Under Win 11-64.

Yesterday, I started writing, and editing, a detailed message, and then clicked to Save it, planning further editing today.

A few minutes ago, I opened my Account's Drafts folder, but was unable to find the message after sorting the folder every which way. Next, I opened Local Folders Drafts, and found it empty.

At that point, I entered the message's Subject in the CNTL-K Search field, and found the message (Whew...!) but I still did not know where it was hiding, so, I clicked Show As List, and learned that the message was located in my Account's Drafts folder, just as it should be.

The good news is that I can complete the editing of the message. The bad news is that I am still unable to locate the message in Drafts directly. I must search for it using CNTL-K.

What might be causing this disappearing act? And how might I prevent it?

Many thanks,

Lothar

I created a search for any message that is after a date several months ago and it should search in several local folders. It shows not results but looking in the individual local folders shows unread messages.

Is that to be expected?

Since transferring to a new mac a few weeks ago and using the latest version of Thunderbird, I've noticed that the search function is not finding all emails even when entering specific names or subjects that I know to be correct. It is showing a mixture of old and new results but certainly not showing all of them. I'm not aware of having changed any settings but this feature was pretty reliable before the change over.

In Thunderbird's contacts, there's a "Search" link for each contact that'll pull up all the messages involving that contact. I love this. (Screenshot attached)

However, I don't see a way of accessing this easy search while in the mail pane of Thunderbird. Does anyone know if this is possible, or, if an alternative exists?

I'm using the Addon "Search for" (https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/search-for/), but it's not the same, since it'll only filter in the same folder you're already in. With Google I archive all my mail once I've handled it, so for this Addon to be useful I first have to go to "All mail," then find an email from this person again, then use the Addon.

Anyone have a better way of pulling up all the correspondence with a particular person?

Thank you!
