Getting a weird issue. When I open Firefox Beta, if it is not already running it loses focus on Firefox and pops open the Google Play Store over the top of Firefox on its Firefox Beta page. It's doing this consistently and repeatably. I'm on a Samsung Galaxy A52 5G on the latest update of Android 14.

Any time I allow a website to use my location on my home computer, it places me in a suburb in Las Vegas. However, I live near Seattle. This happens on multiple websites including Google Maps and Uber Eats, and on other browsers my location is correct. I'm not running any VPNs or proxy servers, I've verified that my IP address is linked to my correct location, and I've deleted all cache and cookies ("Everything" for time frame) from my history. Is there a way I can have an accurate location again?

Problems since Thunderbird updated (automatically?) to beta version (63.0). Unable to send from one of my two companies' accounts, despite having been in ongoing communication with their tech support (STARTMAIL) that my settings are correct. They were correct. But now "Account Settings" are not visible (just a tiny non-functional window) unless I got to Help > Troubleshooting Information where they are merely viewable (see below).

Finally, I uninstalled Thunderbird via control panel on my Windows OS. Then I downloaded (from Mozilla website) Thunderbird version 60.2.1.

It opened with the same issues--unable to send via one account; unable to view under "account settings" the details for any of my accounts. Verified with my optimization software (System Mechanic) that 60.2.1 was the only visibly remaining Thunderbird artifact. Did hard shutdown of computer. No change upon re-starting computer.

I had expected that uninstalling and downloading the prior version of Thunderbird would mean that I would have to go through registering in Thunderbird my various email accounts. I thought that I could do this cleanly (all w. IMAP) & more efficiently (no duplicates or leftovers--seven accts on 1 server; one acct on other server). However, Thunderbird opened already populated exactly as I had it (even open tabs) prior to uninstalling.

The only tweaking I have done this week since Thunderbird updated to beta version were: re-set my Master Password... attempt to change the accounts on one server (my ISP's) from POP3 to IMAP (which doesn't appear to have stuck as IMAP, despite speaking to their tech support), but those accounts appear to be working... deleting and re-instating 3x my email accounts with the other server (which is IMAP) due to the problem of not being able to send email's (I have been in ongoing contact with their tech support)--each time applying the new password provided by my server.

BTW, earlier in this process I contacted my antivirus tech support. And I've tried sending with my antivirusware shut off, but login to the server still failed.

Help, please!

Does anyone know how to highlight in the 65.0beta version of Thunderbird?

I can change the color of text and the whole pages background color but I can't highlight specific text only. I searched for an add on and had no luck. All the add on's I could find stated that they are not compatible with the 65.0beta version.

I frequently highlight text in email correspondence. I can do this in Microsoft word and every other email application I have used. I am resorting to saving my email in Thunderbird and opening it up in my old email application to highlight and then send the email. It's really annoying!

Recently the email composing function has ceased working in Thunderbird (ver 65.0b3 (32-bit)). Other functionality also recently changed ie clicking the get messages button no longer downloads new messages so we now have to select Get all new messages from the drop down arrow attached to that button. We are only able to type in the email body text area when replying to messages but not when we compose a new message from scratch. The compose new message screen allows us to put in send from and send to as well as type a subject line but doesn't allow us to click in the body text area. If I update the subject line and then tab to try and get to cursor to move to the body text area, all that happens is a dotted line border shows around the body text frame box. I have tried safe mode without addins and removed silverlight but nothing has changed. My wife said she accepted some update a few weeks ago but can't remember what it was for. I will attach a screen shot of the compose page to assist in helping resolve this issue. Thanks

Is there any way I can completely disable horizontal scrolling? I'm using a laptop with a trackpoint (lenovo x230, Windows 10) and it's not terribly accurate, which means scrolling whilst a youtube video is going often makes it track backwards or forwards, and another website I use uses a horizontal click to send me to the next page, which sucks. I would prefer to just be able to disable it entirely. Thanks!

I swear to god I used to have it disabled, just need to work out how again.
