Hi @ all,

When using TB as a LDAP-User, logins.json and key4.db are NOT created on the (mounted) home directory.

here's my setup: Debian 12 with a local user as well as remote users, administrated via LDAP. PAM-login for local and ldap users has been setup and is working. Automounting of network drives is working. Each LDAP user has their home directory stored on a Fileserver and mounted upon login. All applications are working as intended except thunderbird.

So far I've tried to run gnupg locally instead of having it start a session from the (mounted) home directory, assuming that gnupg is the corresponding means of de/encryption. I've copied the profile of the local user to be used as the profile of the LDAP user, logins.json is completely ignored by TB.

Upon starting of TB, passwords are asked for and are remembered in the session. But passwords/logins are not stored and available for the next session.

Any ideas?

My linux system no longer has pulseaudio installed (for reasons unrelated to firefox).

The --enable-alsa option is not rejected by firefox but doesn't work either. The only way to get audio from firefox in this install is through the apulse wrapper:

    apulse firefox ...

Note that chrome browsers have no problem with audio when pulseaudio is not installed.

Is the --enable-alsa in firefox supposed to work?

thanks!

The Firefox 'Downloads, Save Files To.." location appears to be disconnected from reality. If I indicate either of the Documents or Desktop folders as the preferred save location, both of those folders present as being empty when in fact they both have numerous files/directories. Even if I try to save in "+ Other Locations", those locations are limited to the same as presented in the 'Browse' window of Home, Desktop, Documents and Downloads. Only the Downloads folder displays correctly.

Also as a result of this limited save location, I can only retrieve a file from the Downloads folder (the attached file was saved in my Documents folder but I had to move it to Downloads.

Why does the saving behavior behave like this?

Hello, - Computer Nec Versa One P/N NNAN1700202 (32-bit) - XUbuntu 18.04.2LTS (i386), no upgrade possible to 19 LTS

- Message asking for an update of Firefox (expired root certificate, extensions disconnection) - Proposed download completed (Firefox 135.0)

- Firefox/ Help/ "About Firefox": 113.0.2 (32 bits), no update proposal - Launch the . exe file from previous download In the "About Firefox" window, version 135.0 appears well during installation When the computer is restarted, this panel has returned to version 113

The computer works normally and perfectly meets my needs (emails and internet searches), so it is out of the question to change it (it would be scandalous from an environmental point of view)

What should I do? Thank you for giving me the precise instructions on how to proceed. Sincerely, FC

Thought only Ubuntu's linux firefox 136.0 was 'unstable' on my Gateway E-475M laptop - crashes, restores session then freezes only to log me out, then completely locking up requiring holding down power button and rebooting...

NOW, even firefox 136.0 on WIN7 is crashing, then restores session only to go to the 'blue screen of death' requiring holding down the power button and rebooting...

EVIDENTLY, the problem is NOT with Ubuntu or WIN7, but either: firefox (linux or win version); or, the Gateway E-475M laptop (2.0GHz CPU, 4Gb RAM, 8Gb swapfile, Harddrive at 61% usage, linux/win on separate booting partitions, LAN + usb & pci wifi's, etc.) - both OS's USED to work fine, but as upgrades to firefox have come along, they have steadily gotten more and more unstable...

Sometime, I'm only making a bookmark, and it starts this circus act... does it on differing websites, etc. Firefox is the only thing loaded - using two windows on two different monitors.

...at a loss as to what to do - firefox is supposed to be THE lightest-weight browser out there, and was for awhile...

- - - - - the only extension used on both systems is NoScript - could THAT be causing the disturbance in the force?!?

This is Thunderbird on Debian Trixie. It seems no matter which theme I use under XFCE4 in Thunderbird when I reply the quoted text in the reply is invisible, probably white on white. The quote "bars" at the side of the reply are visible in different colors but the text itself can't be seen. Any suggestions ?

Thanks

Hello, I recently updated Thunderbird to version 136 on my Linux system (Solus with Budgie desktop), and I noticed that a native tray icon now appears in my system tray. This was not the case with previous versions, where Thunderbird would run without placing an icon in the tray. The issue is that Thunderbird now shows an icon in the system tray, and I would like to disable it. I have already tried the following methods:

1. Editing the prefs.js file to set: `user_pref("mail.ui.showTrayIcon", false);` But this did not remove the icon.

2. Checking Thunderbird's settings for any option to disable the tray icon, but I could not find anything that addresses this behavior.

3. I have also checked the system tray settings in the Budgie desktop, but the icon still persists.

Is there any way to completely remove this tray icon in version 136? Is this a known issue with this release?

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi there, I updated Linux Mint today and now have a crash effecting access to Netflix. First time ever to occur. What is wrong and how do I fix it?

Cheers, Ivan

Reading the crash dumps when our systems crash, keeps showing this same result. Firefox's "web content" is crashing our systems.

Hi everyone I have Firefox 110. My husband installed it on my laptop. He died 2 years ago :( It does not automatically update. I can't update because I don't have his administrator password. Or any other useful passwords :( And I have never done anything geekish before; I am only a user. Please can anyone explain in words my mother would understand what to do with the Firefox 136 .tar file. Or even better how to work around permissions so I can get automatic updates. Pete and I worked together well to set up www.pcurtis.com but I never learned the systems stuff - I never needed to when he was alive. I am a retired academic. Anyone in the Oxford UK area who could help would be really useful. As an emergency I have just started to use the Opera browser he installed but I have no passwords for that either.... Pauline
