I am using Firefox as a multi-tab courseware viewer but need to block the user bringing up the Library page as then the user can see the courseware URL's - I am running it on AWS AppStream and can lock most features down., but this one eludes me - there seems to be no policy to block it. I have tried intercepting keystrokes at the GNOME level and autoconfig javascript to block keys. Is there a way to do this please? Blessings, Ian

Hi,

I am trying to edit my message separator line (which I added many years ago). Now there is a big gap in the line and messages. How can I reduce this gap please? Any advice?

Regards,

As long as I've used TB, which is many years now, I've had no complaints. I have absolutely no desire to change to a different program.

That being said, I'm at wits' end with the recent issue of Notification Sound Alerts (NSA) upon delivery of a new message. Simply stated, beginning about 6 or 8 months ago, the NSA seem to simply work whenever they want to. I can go a month or two at a time and receive the NSA, and then suddenly one day, NSA will stop functioning on its own. This "pause," we'll call it, will last 4 or 5 months, then then suddenly begin to work again.

I have attempted every imaginable fix as recommended in this forum. There's no need to list them all, because I've made every suggested adjustment that's been recommended. But there's no rhyme or reason to why the NSA will work as programed for a period, and then decide on its own to stop working.

I don't know if this is a glitch in TB that is simply beyond my feeble attempts to rectify, or if any other TB users are experiencing the same issue. I have even gone so far as to attempt to find an Add-On that will supplement the NSA. However, none that I have uncovered, particularly those suggested in this Forum, seem to be compatible with either the version of TB or Windows 10. I understand that Win 10 is not longer supported in the forum, but please! I do not want to migrate years of email files to another program. I want to use TB but simply need to be "Alerted" when new messages hit the Inbox.

Any assistance or suggestions (except those basic adjustments that proliferate the forum, i.e insure the sound mixer is not muted, etc, etc) would be greatly appreciated and thanks for listening.

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.

How can i change bookmarks menu so it will close after choosing. Ive searched and only found option to stay open, (Option to not close menu when opening new tab)... Not what im wanting, I want to open bookmarks choose and have it auto close the side bar of bookmarks. Maybe even auto closing the link folders opened. Windows 11.

When uploading files with Firefox, I click the upload button, and the file browser window appears to upload files.

For as long as I can remember, it always defaulted to the last folder location that I uploaded a file, but just a few days ago, it stopped working, and always defaults to my home folder.

How can I make the upload window pop up, default to the last uploaded location? My OS is Linux Mint Cinnamon.

アーカイブしたメールの保存先のフォルダーを切り替えました。 新フォルダーと旧フォルダーのどちらも，アイコンがボックス型となっております。 旧フォルダーは通常のフォルダーアイコンに戻したいです。 どうすればいいでしょうか。

なお，GmailからIMAPで同期しています。

I’ve changed the folder where archived emails are saved. Both the new folder and the old folder now have box-shaped icons. I’d like to revert the old folder to the standard folder icon. How can I do that?

Note: I’m syncing via IMAP from Gmail.

Since the last update (I am running K-9 Mail v17.0 on a Moto G Stylus 5G 2023 with Android 14 Build Number U1TGNS34.42-86-4-5-4-8), I am often getting a separate notification for every new email in my In Box (POP3) instead of one notification to say that I have a bunch of new messages, and the notification(s) is(are) not going away after I look at my message(s) and delete the email(s).

Any idea if this is a bug or a feature? It is annoying to delete 10 emails and then have to delete 10 notifications about the same 10 emails.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Hi there,

I recently tried to customise the firefox icon on my phone (Android v14). The path: Firefox: Settings>Customise>Select App Icon

Unfortunately I have ended up with two duplicates of the firefox app icon (shown in image) that I cannot seem to remove. The only option shown is to uninstall which doesn't sound right

Is there any way to remove the duplicates or else revert back to the original icon?

Let me know if more info is needed.

Many thanks

Anytime I open Firefox that pop-up shows, I don't want F-fox opening every time I start PC but there's no option to get it to go away otherwise, or at least that I can see.

In both Firefox and Thunderbird, if I type "esp", it changes to "Esp". Likewise, "especially" -- in the middle of a sentence! -- becomes "Especially". How can I turn this off?

I'm on Thunderbird version 140.9.0esr at present.

Machine: Dell Inspiron 15 Series laptop

Monitor: Viewsonic 27"

System: Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS

RAM: 16 GB

For the last 2 versions of Thunderbird, I have seen that even after reading the new messages, the green new messages indicator remains on the TB icon in the taskbar.

Refer to screenshot.

It should of course disappear as soon as the new messages are all opened. Otherwise one thinks that there is an unread message somewhere among the mail folders, even though on checking there is not.

This remains so until TB is closed and re-opened. After re-opening the green circled number is gone.

Of course, this is more a nuisance than a serious problem.

But it would be nice to have it sorted by the next version.

Up until the last week, on my iMac, if I clicked on the Firefox button on my bottom toolbar, both of my main FF windows (each with multiple tabs and open all the time) would come to the front of the screen.

Now, only one window comes up and I have to specifically select the other window to see it.

Is this a new behaviour or have I inadvertently deactivated whatever it was that let me do as I have always done previously!

I can't find any setting that appears to refer to this condition.
