Today (06/12/2025) upon opening a new tab, Firefox slid the new option of uploading a custom picture to apply to the background. Tried the new feature, now I can not find the setting that allows me to change the picture. I read the thread "Customize your wallpapers". The instructions are as follows; You can personalize your Firefox New Tab page by adding one of the available wallpapers. Follow these steps:

  1. In the right corner of the New Tab page, click the gear IG settings icon.
  2. In the customization panel, under the Wallpapers section, you will see different categories like Solid colors, Abstract and Photographs.
       Click the category you prefer. For example, selecting Abstract will show a variety of abstract designs. 


The problem I have is the customization panel is no where to be seen, I have click on EVERYTHING possible, it is not in my settings, why? How do find this?

I am experiencing strange behaviour with Thunderbird and certain add-ons. For some time now, when I use certain add-ons that are supposed to display a menu, the menu does not appear. It is replaced by a circle (see attached image : two different add-ons, not showing simultaneously, but merged into the same capture). I have disabled all other add-ons, but this has not resolved the issue. I think there must be a setting that is causing the problem. But with so many settings, I don't know where to look.

Does anyone know how to find the reason for this behaviour?

I am using Thunderbird 139.0.2 (64-bit) with Windows 11.

Thank you for helping.

오늘 업데이트가 되었다며 이미지를 변경하라고 해서 아무 이미지를 넣었다가 되돌릴 방법이 없어서 1시간을 낭비했습니다.

절대로 테마아닙니다. 새 탭 페이지입니다. 어떠한 부가기능도 사용하지 않았습니다. 이러한 문제가 아닌지 검토하라는 답변을 줄 경우 무조건 최악의 평가를 내릴겁니다.

I'm looking for solution to make or prevent Thunderbird automatically filling up the "From" box.

In other words; I want the "From" section to be empty every single time for me to fill up. Just like I have to do with the "Subject" and "to" boxes.

I'm willing to hack Thunderbird if there's no an user friendly solution for this I want! Just please tell me what to do and I'll do!

Thank you in advance, Attila.

hi, i cant find an option to dismiss the new sidebar. it's pointless and i can switch all the buttons off, but now there is just an empty space at the side of my browser. very annoying. i hate the AI integration and i will not be recommending this browser to anyone in the future because of it. I have spent years convincing others to make the switch to firefox, but what's the point if it ends up just as toxic and useless as every other browser. disappointing.

I am having some trouble getting Thunderbird to display all my messages. I tried troubleshooting mode and found that all the messages were displayed. Restarting in normal mode having disabled my extensions and hardware acceleration, the problem returned and I could not see most of my messages. So I need to make the other changes that troubleshooting mode makes. These are described at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-mode-thunderbird as

  • Window and sidebar size and position settings (described in terms of Firefox)
  • userChrome and userContent customizations ; see userChrome.css and .js and userContent are unsupported

I do not understand what these are and how I can set them for routine use. Can someone point me to an explanation? Thanks.

So yeah we're on a Windows domain, but I'm the admin and I need to add a custom search engine and can't because "Your browser is being managed by your organization" basically neuters a ton of stuff.

I don't care, small office and I need control over FF. The help documentation I have seen are not even remotely clear. Is there a simple way to just LOSE this completely? I accept the risks, and not because we're lax on security but really need that custom search engine. Specifically, lose Google and replace with a Google search that strips out AI. The new Google search would be this:

Dear Firefox team, I have one question only.

ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE? Can you STOP bombarding me with the notifications? This is MY DESKTOP, this is MY PC, I DON'T NEED this shit.


For anyone who would like to help:

No, there's no such option in settings. No, removing updater physically does not stop pop-ups. No, there's nothing in about:config to shut up the updates.


For Firefox team:

No, your updates ruin the browser, more and more, I think I'm about to switch to Pale Moon instead.
