Hello!

I am not sure if this is a Firefox specific question or one that relates to Windows, but I can't seem to figure out how to turn off the feature of a two-finger swipe either making the webpage jump back, or forward. I haven't been able to find any answers by looking it up on my own, and can't find where to change this feature in either Windows or Firefox settings. Is this a feature that can be turned off?

Any help would be very appreciated!

Hi, I've been receiving the following rejection message as follows: jino.ru rejected your message to the following email addresses:

postmaster@pop3-server-spam.org The address you sent your message to wasn't found at the destination domain. It might be misspelled or it might not exist. Try to fix the problem by doing one or more of the following:

   Send the message again, but before you do, delete and retype the address. If your email program automatically suggests an address to use, don't select it.
   Clear the recipient AutoComplete cache in your email program by following the steps in this article: Status code 5.1.1. Then resend the message, but before you do, be sure to delete and retype the address.
   Contact the recipient by some other means (by phone, for example) to confirm you're using the right address. Ask them if they've set up an email forwarding rule that could be forwarding your message to an incorrect address.

The sender of the email gets those message. I get them also but I'm also getting the message that they send me. It's only doing it with my outlook account. Why is that? I checked it directly on the Outlook website and everything is OK. I can't understand why this is happening.

firefox (all the latest versions) unstable in Ubuntu 24.04lts and WIN7

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?!?

Hi, Sadly having big problems transferring Thunderbird onto new WIN11 PC. Been at it for some days now.... The old PC's C drive is now installed on the new PC (as a spare drive) so all the original Thunderbird files are still intact I believe. I have always kept my email files in separate dated folders on the old PC HD and so have about 27Gb of data (965 files in 111 folders) all under AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/xxxxdefault However after installing latest Thunderbird version and trying to substitute the above original profile I find the old stored files are not visible on opening Thunderbird. the software tries to download huge number of files from the server, and there is no Address Book data from previous old PC install. Appreciate all ideas to stop me losing more of my scarce hair :-) Thanks in anticipation. Keith Dekok keithdekok@gmail.com Australia

I have written you all now three times. I cannot use Safeway.com to order my groceries and have had this problem since October of last year. I have to use another brower, which I detest to make my orders. All of my preferences are on the safeway.com page but when I search, let's just say "eggs" it tells me that my spelling must be wrong or there are no items that match my search. Please please help me fix this. I have called Safeway.com 4 times and they say it is a Firefox issue. Thank you.
