Firefox Community Forum

I have been using Thunderbird since about 2004 or 2005. It used to be somewhat instinctive to use in comparison to the current version. That's about 20 years ago. It now seems to have a minuscule amount of instinctual usability. My question / statement is where is the Tutorial. Like many products including Microsoft, make what they think are brilliant "improvements," and what they primarily do is cause confusion, frustration, greater difficulty in using the product and for many a wish they fervently pray for: "I I want my old thingamajg back."

I hadn't used Thunderbird since February of 2024 - LAST YEAR. Currently it is unrecognizable from then. I had  been hospitalized with 3 stents, a pacemaker and heart valve, I'm back functioning and love life. However - It would have been simple to make a dozen short tutorials on enough things to easily do the basics. Pleading for donations and not making it simpler to use the product doesn't attract new users & make current users happier. I would be grateful if anyone can point me to some simple tutorial. In my opinion what Thunderbird offers is too cryptic for me to process, I hope my post is noticed by a "Solver" Don't misunderstand me. I liked using Thunderbird for these many years because it was incredibly flexible, usable, and partially simple & instinctive. Today few people have the will or time to spend hours poring through help sheets that are a challenge and confusing to use.

Would appreciate your help.

All my saved passwords are missing. I am synced and logged into an Android phone. I usually use an iphone but have not checked syncing there yet, or on a computer/laptop.

New Tab is either the FF page or Blank? Just Like Goggle Chrome?? REALLY!!!???

If you plan to be "Chrome" by a different name, then why don't we all just move TO Chrome?

TRY not to be STUPID, Please.

Sometimes, when I want to use the Take a Screenshot function (on my toolbar) to save a long section of a page, after selecting what I want and scrolling down to the Download button, the process positions the page's floating 'identification' bar across the the middle of the picture. Is there a way to set a keyboard shortcut to trigger the download command after making the selection, without the need to scroll down to see the button? This would greatly simplify the process. In some limited searching and testing, I haven't found anything that accomplishes this.

I have attached a screenshot of a page to serve as an example of how the bar is superimposed.

FWIW, this system is still running Windows 7, Firefox 115.22.0 esr.

I went to my favorite web site this morning (dpreview/forums) and when it displayed I must have accidentally clicked some Firefox thing because the page was then overlaid with a thin orange highlight with the word PICK on it. I tried moving the cursor off the page but it only changed which segments of the page were highlighted. So I clicked and the page was replaced by just the menu section of the page, apparently that was what was highlighted when I clicked.

Now, no matter what I do, when I try to go to that url only the menu is displayed, the normal list of forums is missing. I've restarted FF. I've rebooted. I've cleared cookies and cache. I've refreshed the page. Nothing helps. Other web sites are fine. I can't imagine what this is for. A diagnostic tool or accessibility thing perhaps.

Please help. I'm running latest FF on latest Win 11.

There is a drop down menu with a list of search engines to swap between. I'd like to never see this again for the rest of my life. How do i remove this from my browser?

I have two Firefox tabs open on my browser. Task manager shows 35 tabs using 897 MB of memory. How do I make this stop? And why are so many tabs running? I have cleared cache, cookies, etc.

I have 1 new and an old FF account . They are the same except my new FF(version 2) has no passwords or other important FF data-which is right here on this computer on the other FF server(V-1). I don't know how to transfer the info over. Any help would be great .. Thanks a lot. You guys are the best sever !bold text
