I tried a restore but the only date available for bookmarks was today (jsonlz4 file). I tried other online suggestions but I cannot locate any old files to restore from. If I cannot get them back, I will switch browsers because the loss is unacceptable.

At first the inbox went empty and then when I closed T-bird and reopened it had put in 100 emails from 2023! And then fortunately I found the 'inbox' name had moved way down in the left panel under 'local folders' and still had all my current emails. Can I drag the 'inbox' in the panel back up under my current address where it usually resides? All this happened after I sent 2 photos off my phone to my gmail account to my email address. I prefer to do my emails on my desktop, on Windows 11. Bitdefender says I am safe. I cannot find what version of Thunderbird I have. I typed in 'Thunderbird App menu help' in the search bar on my desktop with no help found. I do not know how to do the 3 lines icon. Pressing the alt key or F10 did nothing. I looked in all the T-bird settings to no avail. So I typed in the 140.8 version just so you would at least get this query. I have no idea what version I have. Very frustrating! Thank you.

Firefox you can't X out the location services and it won't go away. It covers everything. I don't want to make a decision, I'll do it on my own terms when I feel like it.

Other competitors allow it, why not Firefox?

Hi, the home page shortcuts used to be bookmarked sites I selected, and they stayed in one place. After a recent update Firefox litters the page with recent searches, displacing the ones I saved. I can't see a setting to select recent search shortcuts ON/OFF, how to restore the old (and very useful) shortcuts?

I have had an email account for the last 28+ years. (*.msn ) For several months, I have not been able to access my account directly on Firefox. I can access it on Microsoftedge. To log in, I enter my email address. I then enter my password. I have recently replaced an old password with a new password. Microsoft does not accept it directly. At first it (Microsoft login) asked me for the first 2 digits of my cell phone number, then a puzzle. Sometimes this works, sometimes not. More recently they have rejected any attempts because I have tried unsuccessfully too many times. That may be as few as 2 times. I have gone through several variations of solving this problem within Microsoft help. Each attempt ends at either going onto a loo[p or Micosoft asking for a code, pass key, or proof through another email I have. I have accumulated a list of codes, PIN numbers, all of which do nothing. I have been at this since 3 April.

Someone seems to have messed with the search tab. For better or worse, I use Google most of the time, The search tab used to default to Google. If I occasionally want a different search tool, e.g. Wikipedia, I would use the dropdown list. Now it seems to default to the last used search tool. How can I get rid of this "improvement"?

It seems that most times Firefox does an update, it deletes the Amazon UK search tool and does not provide any option to put it (or any Amazon tool) back. Where is it on the list of search tools?
