I just downloaded and put into mirror 'local folders' all my 100 and more folders from yahoo going back 25 years. excellent. I believe they are safe and solid as a rock now? Simple question is how to get all ongoing emails into those folders?

I did all that with an add on called importexporttoolsng which is great but does not live on and monitor new arrivals.

I've been advised to set up an archive folder and put everything in there and i will if i must, of course. but ideally maintaining the current folder structure that yahoo is moving messages into is the best way.

can it be done?

When selecting which email account to send FROM, the drop down shows a number of old email accounts. These accounts have been deleted. There are no details showing under the "account settings" or "Outgoing server." Which file stores the mail server information and where is it? I currently have around forty different email accounts across five mail servers.

I cannot get into my Paypal account because Mozilla Firefox is asking me to set up a passkey. I press Continue and it tells me to enter a PIN. I don't have a PIN set up that I know of. If I try one, it is wrong and says I have tried too many times. When I go to the Settings where I should set something up with Window Hello, it says it is not available. I just want to log into my Paypal account like I used to. How can I bypass all this stuff?

Hi! We have automated tests that run in Firefox across a large number of instances. There are about a hundred nodes where the browser is launched. For security reasons, there is no Internet access. When the browser closes, requests are sent to 146.75.117.91. Since there is no Internet connection, the request fails to complete, and the process terminates due to a timeout. Because the browser is controlled by geckodriver, the `driver.close()` call fails with an error. I’ve tried numerous browser startup options, but none solve the problem; the process still crashes. The only thing that works is blocking the IP address at the firewall level or in the `hosts` file. However, I’m not happy with this solution because it would need to be applied to a hundred nodes, which would create scalability issues down the line. Are there perhaps any options I missed? I also found these addresses in `omni.ja`. Could it be that they are hardcoded and cannot be changed via options?

When I bookmark a website and select edit, it does not show my created bookmarks to save too, nor can I move existing bookmarks to created folders, why not? I have to create a folder, then select all my existing important bookmarks and save them to the created folder. I can not later add any saved bookmarks to the created folder, why not? The Beta version has the same issue. Please make a change to allow for bookmark saving or moving to created folders. Thank you.

TB suddenly moves messages from inbox to trash automatically without any interaction. Search through the forrum shows that it has been asked for already, see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1588804, similar postings can also be found with you search engine.

As described in other postings, the messages are moved from Inbox to trash. When moving them back manually from trash to inbox, they are moved to trash again immediately.

  • it happens for the default account only,
  • there're no filters at all in TB,
  • junk detection is disabled,
  • Settings->General Storage is all disabled,
  • (account)->Settings->Server Settings has checked "move deleted messages to trash",
  • (account)->Settings->Storage is all disabled,
  • Inbox->Properties "Repair folder" does not help,
  • Inbox->Properties "rules is set to "use account settings" (and greyd out "do not delete messages"),
  • exactly same behaviour when starting TB in save mode,
  • manually deleting all *.msf files (for inbox) does not help,
  • manually deleting xulstore.json does not help,

Additional notes, which are not related to the problem, IMHO:

  • IMAP on port 993,
  • no other clients anywhere are connected to that account,
  • TB configured for more than 10 accounts, more than 500 folders and sub-folders,
  • host with > 16GB RAM, TB uses 3GB virt,
  • problem observerd in older TB also, at least 13x.x

I'd be happy to debug/trace the problem if someone can give me detailled insructions how to start TB with debugging. Please feel free to ask for about:config settings as they are non-ambiguous and language independent ;-)

Thanks.

On my Firefox Home Page, I selected two rows of PINNED shortcuts. Each time I open a webpage that webpage is added not only to the two selected rows of shortcuts, but "keeps" EVERY webpage selected after filling the two selected shortcut rows. It is not only annoying and inconvenient, but s l o w s work time to a crawl around these shortcuts ... few, if any, are helpful. If I want to re-entry an UNPINNED shortcuts, I go to history and select the one I want. WHEN is Fire Fox to solve this seemingly simple but annoying problem?

I have been using the INBOX that is under my email address. This worked for years except one time before when the same thing happened where the messages are from years ago. I have to go further down to use ALLMAIL to get the current messages. The INBOX shows "3" while the ALLMAIL shows 5,626.

So, the INPUT is not current as before but old messages. How do I fix this?

Thanks,

Eddie
