I recently updated my Firefox to v158 from v156, and now the text colors of some of the UI elements on a new tab (e.g. Firefox wordmark, web shortcuts, Recent Activity header) which were previously white, have been changed to black (or a color close to black).

I use a custom wallpaper for new tabs, which didn't alter these particular colors on v156. Switching the background in the Customize menu shows the white text on some of the default wallpapers and the dark text on others. I have attached example screenshots to show how these elements looked before and after the update. I used the Developer Tools console to do this.

I assume this has to do with the "modernized" Nova UI redesign (which I have disabled) Mozilla is now forcing on its userbase instead of making it optional. Reverting these properties via the Developer Tools console does not make them permanent. I would rather not have to change my current wallpaper if I can help it.

Is there any other way I can make the text white again without changing the background or downgrading? Or if I can make them permanent with the console?

These are some things I have explored:

   • It is happening whether I look at emails in Thunderbird or through Gmail on Google Chrome
   • Even if I clickndrag them from deleted to inbox they fall back into deleted.
   • I’ve tried gmail/settings/all settings/filters and there aren’t any
   • I’ve tried gmail/settings/all settings/forwarding and there aren’t any
   • If I access Gmail via Microsoft Edge, the emails stay in Inbox
   • I’ve looked at various things in Thunderbird and unticked something in ‘When New emails arrive’ because I thought that might work.  

It started happening about a week ago.

AVG sends message: "We've identified a site certificate problem" "Trust for this certificate has been revoked."

Looking at certificate page that AVG provides is Greek to me. General tab displays:

"This certificate has been revoked by its certification authority"

issued to : inbound.att.net

issued by: Digicert Global G2 TLS RSA SHA256 20250 CA1

Valid from: 4/12/26 to 10/28/26

Details tab:

lists a bunch of things that I don't comprehend and offers an option to "copy to file" and lists a number of formats to copy the file to.  Have no idea which would be the one to use. 

Trying to access email directly from browser has not been successful because it wants verify my identity by sending message to my phone, but it does not send anything.

Suddenly two days ago all my emails began going to Spam when the download. I know of no changes to my system or Thunderbird. I deleted everything in my Spam folder and reset training, but that didn't help.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Cheers, John

Hey everyone

I need to remove the line that is added when you reply to emails. It adds added steps when cutting and pasting when I quoting emails when replying.

I have multiple profiles with multiple emails in each profile.

I found a thread here dated 2016 that instructed to add this to the css file.

I didn't have en excisting css file I could fine so I created a folder. >chrome > and put a userContent.css file within that.

This is code.

blockquote[type=cite] {

  padding-bottom: 0 !important;
  padding-top: 0 !important;
  padding-left: 0 !important;
  border-left: none !important;
  border-right: none !important;

}

I wish I could manage which colours to select from for tab groups (I'm not particularly fond of the current options). I also wish I could manage the number of colours (there are currently to few). And i struggle to find a suggestions box to slip my wishes into.

PS. I miss the old tab group shape (the tiny squares), maybe make that an option, as well?

Today TB froze during start up. No problems yesterday.

I deleted global-messages-db.sqlite and restarted TB. Now it is frozen with a "Loading messages". Maybe it is rebuilding indexes and this takes a long time and I should be patient.

Maybe my In and Sent mail boxes are too big? If so, how can I safely prune them?

TB is becoming increasingly unstable for me. It was very reliable before about a month ago.

I doubt my AV is the culprit because AV has not changed today.

Thank you one and all.

all emails have suddenly been redirected to a single file in a folder in one of 2 thunderbird emails . The file is selected by message filters . it does not matter the origin nor the subject matter , from, to, etc . everthing just goes there . i have checked the filters on the folder in the message rules and these now appear irrelevant . how , why and can i stop and reverse this?

I retrieve email from two different servers, one is mine, one for work, All of a sudden last night I got a spam email from my personal email server, that kept coming in over 100 times, but no other email. My work email is fine. I contacted the hosting company for that server, who was supposed to blacklist that spam address, (my Thunderbird junk button wouldn't do it), but I'm still getting those emails only. Thunderbird tells me there are 110 emails (and counting) on the server, but won't retrieve them. I can see them on my phone, just not my desktop. (I have the phone set to leave emails on the server until I retrieve them with the desktop). I thought maybe it was because I hadn't cleared out my Inbox for a while, so I deleted about half of the 30k emails that were in the Inbox folder, but it didn't make any difference. It won't compact because I keep getting an error that says some other operation is in progress, but nothing is. None of my settings have changed, and I'm still downloading what I think are copies of that spam email, since they all have the exact same Send time. My Thunderbird version is current, v 140-13 oesr 32-bit, on Windows 10. What can I do, thank you in advance. Long time Tbird user, rarely any problems. Image of some of the copies of the spam email.

So I'm helping sort out an individual who is very computer illiterate and I'm getting them to use Firefox.. but when it updates, the window that tells you what's new pops up... now this is helpful for most! but for this individual it really confuses them and they tend to call me about it every time... so I'm wondering if their is a way to disable the popup window, to make it less confusing for them without disabling the updates entirely?

When I start Firefox, open the application menu, and select Bookmarks, about 50 Bookmarks are displayed under "Recent bookmarks". Many of the bookmarks are not recent. Some are months old and several might be years old.

I've used Firefox for years and only noticed this because I'm trying to help a friend who is having trouble with and old Windows 10 laptop. I installed Firefox 1560.1 (64bit) and added a lot of folders and bookmarks using "Manage bookmarks" or Ctrl-Shift-o. It currently only has 42 bookmarks displayed under "Recent Bookmarks" because I started Rt-clicking and deleting them before I figured that this deletes the bookmark that I had added to a folder in addition to removing it from the Recent bookmark list.

I feel this feature (Recent Bookmarks) totally negates the privacy and security that the Clear Browsing data and Never remember history options USED to give me.

Hi, I have a shortcut which comes up with a blank icon. I've tried Google help to use a custom picture, but nothing worked. The complication is that my shortcut does not go to Xerox, it goes to their pension provider who has a different name. The shortcut works fine but it would be nice if I didn't have a blank icon.
