I have set up Syncing on Firefox and it was simple but I can't figure out how to do it in Thunderbird. I am recovering from a PC Reset and want to ensure I do not lose anything if I have to have my Iaptop sent away to be repaired.

I spent a long time looking for an email today. I sent it earlier in the day so was looking at the latest messages with todays date. I eventually found it after srearching for the Subject. The message was threaded but the message showing was from a few days ago. That was when I noticed the little arrow. That was when all was revealed. The version of TBird I used until I Reset PC last week did not have settings like that.

Please hep me.

I didn't know which Topic to choose so if its wrong please change it.

Hey guys, as the title states I Can’t find any setting to set a default camera or microphone across the whole browser.

Firefox automatically chooses the wrong ones when I live stream. Former chrome user and all chromium based browsers allow you to set a default camera and microphone from a list of the available ones for the browser to automatically choose every time a site accesses them.
I just want to set it to always automatically use my obs virtual camera and always automatically choose my virtual audio cable, persistently. Is there truly no way to adjust this? It is such a basic setting that’s been around forever on the other side. Is there at least some complicated hidden way to adjust this?

I am trying to help a colleague who is trying to use Microsoft Teams join links, but it only opens in the Firefox browser (default). Microsoft Teams support says to select the always allow box.

When I open a Teams link on Firefox, I see a pop up that asks "Always allow— she does not see it. Any idea what may be preventing this? I have "Block pop-up windows" checked on my browser settings, so that can't be the issue. Her browser is up to date. We both have Apple computers.

Appreciate your help with this mystery.

About 2 weeks ago, I stopped being able to 'send'. I have found two solutions. Which is less bad? (a) or (b)? I prefer to use the SSL/TLS option for security. But my choice is between (a) overriding the default port vs (b) using STARTTLS for out-mail (with SSL/TLS still for in-mail). a) SSL/TLS for both in and out-mail In-mail port 993 default Out-mail port 587 ... by overriding default 465

I recently downloaded Firefox on my Android device. It's been fine. However today, there was an issue. I have the settings set on my phone so bookmarks appear on the homepage. However, today, for some reason, the bookmark on the homepage was glitched. I'm not sure why, but I figured I just had to reset it. So I go rid of the bookmark on the homepage, and redid the bookmark. It was working again, but now, the bookmark isn't appearing on the homepage anymore. It's just a blank homepage, even though my settings are still the same. I've turned the settings on and off, reset fire fox, cleared cache, and the bookmark still isn't showing up. Pleas help me.

Just as the title goes. I've been using Mozilla Firefox on desktop since 2005. The best hands down browser ever. I started using Firefox on android back in 2019.

I still love the android version, but my only problem with it is tabs. They stay open constantly. In the desktop application you close out and all the tabs close. In the android version I swipe up and there still there next time I load in. I don't like this at all. Unless I quit out of Firefox from the submenu, the tabs will stay open indefinitely.

I was hoping Mozilla could add an option to auto close tabs in 6 hours or something like that. Or close out tabs when I swipe up in android.

I have moved about 20 friends and family to Firefox and it's always going to be Firefox from now on. You guys rock!

I have a closed Ubuntu installation I use to clone and quickly setup a VM. The closed system uses a proxy with restricted access to the internet, as such I would like to give it systemwide settings that will effect new and existing users.

I have attempted to use /etc/firefox/syspref.js, and apturl.js in /etc/firefox/pref/apturl.js. I have setting in EnvVars for HTTPS_PROXY and HTTP_PROXY pointing at the proxy http://proxy:8080. It seems by default firefox does not look at that.

Secondly I wanted to turn off the site warnings for intranet sites using the following options: pref("security.insecure_field_warning.contextual.enabled,false") pref("security.certerrors.permanentOverride,false") pref("network.stricttransportsecurity.preloadlist,false") pref("security.enterprise_roots.enabled,true")

Seeing as nothing I try seems to be working, and the potentials solutions were for older versions, is there a way I can do this?
