Thunderbird: Folder with 119 message, need to send all 119 messages to an e-mail from Local box called "Fraudfiles". I can not see any way to do this in Thunderbird e-mail.

For the past few days, the YouTube website has behaving unusually in Firefox. The volume and play/pause controls don't work. The picture in picture mode does not work. And most importantly, the search bar is broken. Whenever I type something and click the search button or press enter, the value entered disappears and I have to type it all again, only that this process goes on for infinite number of times and so, I can't even search for anything on YouTube.

Hi,

I'm on Arch Linux and use uinput to create key events. It works reliably for >12months in all applications and under all circumstances except in Firefox where some key events are skipped non-deterministically. My test case is:

in a text field, emit `<ctrl down>a<ctrl up>123456789987654321<left>...<left>` with 9 times `<left>`. Sometimes a 9 is missing and sometimes the cursor is further to the right than expected.

This happens every 8th try or so, which is too frequent to not break the user experience.

What I have tried: - multiple PCs (2 with this issue and 1 without) - Troubleshoot Mode - `window.onkeydown=(e)=>console.log(e)` (events are missing)

Since I've only ever seen repeated characters/keys disappear and never when writing manually, I would guess there is some kind of event cleanup algorithm kicking in. (the events are emitted without any delays)

I would really like to fix this issue because Firefox is my favorite browser. Any idea how to track it down?

Firefox used to have an option to put tabs back under the address bar, it is missing. I don't want to mess with custom css files every update when mozilla breaks things again.

Very recently, I was typing a ton of content into a website textarea, when my Firefox Nightly install crashed. I lost all of this work from hours. Is there any way to get access to this data?

Firefox seems to crash repeatedly and generates no crash reports, just freezes up my pc. It works in troubleshooting mode but even after refreshing, the problem persists. Surprisingly, it will consistently crash if I go to `about:support` (except in troubleshooting mode). Any help would be appreciated!

In Firefox, the mouse becomes partially unresponsive to elements in the browser and on web pages. This happens after 15-30 minutes after starting up the browser. Common symptoms include:

- Unable to drag and drop elements properly, including text after highlighting it. - Sometimes, the mouse continues to hold elements while dragging. Pressing ESC temporarily fixes this. - Dropdown menus on websites do not drop down when hoovering over them - Other items on websites don't display items when hoovering over them

I have tried:

- Different mouses, including my laptop's trackpad - A Firefox fork, namely Waterfox, but it still occurs - Limited testing with other browsers. No problem occurs - Limited testing on desktop. No problem occurs - Entering Troubleshooting Mode on Firefox - Clearing cookies and cache - Reinstall Firefox (including installing from command line instead of the snap store) - Updated Firefox - Refreshed Firefox - About:Processes doesn't show anything using more than 10-15% of CPU at any one time - Limited testing with a new Firefox profile. No problem occurs - Disabled WebGL and Hardware Acceleration.

Temporary fix: Restarting Firefox, but the problem re-occurs shortly after use.

Using Ubuntu.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you drag text onto a Firefox window, it interprets that text as a URL and goes to that page. This is a problem because the only time I drag and drop text onto a Firefox windows is a password from my password manager. If I slightly miss the text box, it interprets the password as a URL and tries to go to it. This (a) Does a DNS lookup of the password. As there usually won't be a valid extension, I expect this only gets as far as my router, but it's still not ideal. (b) The page I was on has now gone, replaced with the "Couldn't connect to server" page, so I need to start again. Usually this is just a login page, which isn't a massive issue, but if it's a registration page I lose all the data I'd entered on that page, and even if it is just a login page, some badly implemented sites can lose information if you step out of the workflow.

In Google Docs, my text cursor will randomly bounce backwards on the page if I perform certain actions, such as pressing Tab in a bullet point list to create a subitem, setting the text to italic, or sometimes just clicking the cursor to the end of a document. Sometimes reaching the end of the line is enough to make the cursor jump back to a random position on the line.

I have tried this in a new profile with no addons and the problem persisted. I could not confirm this in Chromium last I tried. (But I swear I remember it happening in Chromium once or twice before) I have confirmed it on my PopOS laptop and my main PC booted into both Linux Mint and Windows 10.

I am running Firefox version 116.0.3 (64-bit).

With a recent update of Firefox Developer Edition to version 117.0b9 i keep getting extremely annoying popups on all sites, asking me if I want to translate stuff.

I don't want to store unnecessary settings in my browser, related to exceptions to websites/languages that I want vs. does not want to translate.

I want to completely disable translations, globally. Forever. Two questions:

- Why there is no "disable translations globally" checkbox in the newly added popup? - Is there an about:config hack to do disable translations globally, for all languages, for all websites, and forever?

thanks in advance

Hello,

I need help i'm using polish language always on many websites.

When i typing letter "ó" which using key combination Right ALT+O always my brower opening "Open file" dialog window. this is annoying always.

Many sites write that it can not be changed?

Why does the browser open this dialog with this shortcut when there is another shortcut for it? Ctrl+O. Why two another shortcut doing te same job?

I am running Firefox-112.0(64bit) on Debian Bullseye. When I pend Firefox I am presented with a blank page rather that my normal sign in page.

Opening a terminal window and starting Firefox with /opt/firefox/firefox generates the following errors:

comp@AbNormal:~$ /opt/firefox/firefox [GFX1-]: glxtest: VA-API test failed: no supported VAAPI profile found. ATTENTION: default value of option mesa_glthread overridden by environment. ATTENTION: default value of option mesa_glthread overridden by environment. ATTENTION: default value of option mesa_glthread overridden by environment. ATTENTION: default value of option mesa_glthread overridden by environment. [ERROR glean_core] Error setting metrics feature config: Json(Error("EOF while parsing a value", line: 1, column: 0))

If I enter a URL the page opens and is usable.

How can this problem be fixed?

Thanks in advance.

I want to navigate on search results using the keyboard. I could use tab but it suggests all interactive elements such as news, images, books, videos, search settings and etc one by one. I want to press something and make active first result, then second. If such hotkeys are not provided, maybe there are any extensions with similar functionality?

been at it a week everywhere. how can I change the resresh rate about 60MH. desktop preferences is greyed out. command line didnt do it. not a programmers, please keep it simple. was hoping a GUI would make life easier. its blocky on a slow screen scroll. tried loads everywhere. I think it might not happen in chrome.

Hello I use webrtc to organise online calls and, for some time now, I've noticed that I'm getting echoes on Firefox whereas in the same situation (same output/input) I'm not getting any on Chrome...

I've tried looking at the getUserMedia level by changing the following parameters: **echoCancellation**, **autoGainControl**, **noiseSuppression** but that doesn't change anything.

I have the impression that this is due to the latest browser update...

No problem with chrome.

Any ideas ?

Thanks

Hello everyones,

My firefox on my ubuntu give me to "bug" :

first "The bookmarks and history system will not be functionnal..." second, when i try to sync sign up : "error 500"

What i have try, "rm -rf .mozilla .cache/mozilla" i have download latest version and execute "firefox-bin" i have try to chmod 777 all this folders and under folders...

i'm working on it from three hours and have read many solution on firefox support or others website, no one works...

So can you help me ?

I'm the tech director (tech janitor) for a public school that is using Securly.com for their Internet filter. Securly requires installing their own certificate so they can be a man-in-the-middle. I've installed that cert into Firefox and that works fine. However, even with that cert installed, Sync doesn't work when I'm behind that filter. As soon as I take one of my computers off the school network, everything will sync up. I don't get any errors that sync is failing, it's just not working. Any ideas on how I can fix that issue?

Thanks!
