This is answering Toad Hall and Mapenzi, who discussed my problem with the disappearance of the opportunity to put a copy of a message into a specific folder.

This facility was (and is) available on my MacBook, running TB 113. It has disappeared in this version (153). After a long time preoccupied with too many other things, I have now looked at my Add-ons lists in both versions. See attached screen shots. I think this explains my problem. But it doesn't *solve* it, as there is no suitable Add-on available. Perhaps, Mapenzi, you could ask your mate if he's willing to update the Add-on?

Mapenzi: it looked as though your screen shot of a blank message (in French) included an option for 'Copie à'. Is this standard in French HTML? (I can't persuade my TB to compose am HTML message to check, at the moment.)

Je vois que 'Mapenzi' est un mot Swahili pour 'amour'. Vrai?

I want to block some specific websites from force-opening from a game app I use. The app uses ads to make its money. I accept that ads exposure within the app is the price I pay for playing the game , but object to the ads force-opening windows separately in my browser. Can I block them?

I was assured transition to Firefox was seamless, but everything about it so far has been anything but.!The final straw was 3 step process to sign in to BMO online (just password w/chrome) Here its get verification code or go to extensions, ad blocker off, sign in to BMO, sign out, back to extensions , turn on ad blocker, carry on. Really? Settings suggestions seemed a bit like trial and error, and more time essentially wasted, as I now have a few hours invested trying to make this work for me. I am, admittedly no tech wizard, but neither an I stupid. I am minutes away from reversing the whole process and, much as I hate to, going back to the over-reaching arms of chrome/google. As I am not really expecting a response here, I realize this will just boil down to venting. There is much to Firefox that I liked, but the transitional road-blocks are exhausting . I will say it felt great to finally take that step, however temporary it was.

I look at my email mostly on my laptop. I use the Firefox browser. At the top of the browser on the right side, it shows the number of unread emails. For some reason, when I have zero unread listed in yahoo, it still shows that I have a number of unread emails on top of the Firefox browser.

Hi, my spell check only rarely works, I have tried adding more dictionaries, but as it works sometimes, I assume it is something else that is the problem, I had asked about this in another thread, but cannot find it.

So basically if I right click there is no spell check option most of the time. I have also installed LT check spelling and Grammer, not if that interferes with spell check, I feel I had this installed after the problem started, I tried disabling it, but spell check still only activates intermittently.

Gesturefy, Version: 3.2.19 keeps loosing my gestures in FF 157.0 (64-bit)

It constantly defaults to the initial state

This has only happened since the latest update to Firefox

Is there a way to back up either the Gesturefy, app or the profile which hopefully includes Gesturefy, settings?

Many thanks for help

I'm running Thunderbird 157 64bit for Google email, Calendar & Tasks. This has worked nicely for months even after the upgrade to 157. Today Calendar & Tasks fail to connect and are completely blank. Apparently the Add-on 128.5.12 (Philipp Kewisch) that made this work has been disabled for some reason. Please don't tell me that Thunderbird has suddenly decided Google Calendar and Tasks just aren't needed by anyone anymore. There is no new connector available that I can find, just a suggestion to go back to an older version of Thunderbird? Please help me understand. Thanks!

Windows Extension Management policy - unexpected behaviour

Hi

We are managing Firefox settings using Intune and successfully imported the Mozilla/Firefox ADMX files. A few settings are working as expected on a test device, though we're encountering issues with the Extension Management policy.

We followed this documentation to set up the extension management json: https://firefox-admin-docs.mozilla.org/reference/policies/extensionsettings/. I can see the policy is loaded into Firefox, though I am unable to add uBlock Origin, which should be allowed. All extensions are blocked, and the custom error message does not appear either, but instead "Download failed. Please check your connection."

I've tried a few variations with mixed success, but I haven't been able to get "allowed" extensions to work. Force installed extensions seem to work just fine.

Here's a minimal policies.json that demonstrates the issue:

{

   "*": {
       "blocked_install_message": "Custom error message.",
       "installation_mode": "blocked"
   },
   "uBlock0@raymondhill.net": {
       "installation_mode": "allowed"
   }

}

Is there something I'm missing? The test device is running Firefox 156.0.1 64-bit, firefox.admx 8.3, mozilla.admx 4.8. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
