In the previous version of Firefox I could install a multiple language keyboard layouts in the upper right row. I had to reset everything with a new HDD an Ubuntu 24, which comes with Firefox as well. Now I can't find how to install those shortcuts. I need to use Slovenian, Italian, Spanish, German and US keyboards (UK is standard with UK English as primary choice). Thank you for your help.

Unable to create new subfolders anymore

I have three email accounts I access through Thunderbird. Two are hosted by the same server as my websites and one is a Yahoo account. I have been able to create subfolders on all of them for over a decade. Recently, however, I have been unable to. When I select the "New Subfolder," nothing happens. I do not get the dialog box that allows you to name it. Much of the issues that show up on the forums deal with not being able to see the new folder immediately and the solutions are usually restarting Thunderbird, but this does not fix my problem. I am unable to create the folder in the first place. I am also unable to rename existing folders.

This is a problem with all three accounts. I am able to access the email accounts through the dashboard of the website hosting company and created my new folders there. When I open Thunderbird they show up. So it would appear to be an issue with Thunderbird itself.

I am running 128.3.1esr (32-bit), which is the latest version.

Thanks for any advice!

Please explain in simple terms (I am not an IT wizz) how I can stop the continual popups in Firefox 128 and Thunderbird 78 on a Windows 11 OS saying “Update Available” with a Download button very easily activated by mistake.

Each time I click Dismiss, a new popup appears either immediately or very soon. The popup blocks a significant area of the screen and will not move.

I already have Update Settings on “Check for updates but let you choose to install them”. There is no option to “Do not check for updates” on these versions of Firefox and Thunderbird. I already have Windows 11 Notification Settings on “Do not disturb” and all Firefox notifications to Off.

I have found the Mozilla Support article “Customising Firefox using Group Policy” at  https://mzl.la/3bLnw2J but I do not understand it and the device I am using is not part of a group installation setup. 

There is a Step by Step guide “How to stop Firefox update notifications” on Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nD-oXxrCCRs . This is clear to follow if I pause it frequently to absorb each step carefully. Is this safe for me to try given that I am very inexperienced in using the command line and accessing registry etc?

The Thunderbird popups have only recently started up and I would value advice on how to stop these safely too. I need this version of Thunderbird at present for particular reasons related to gmail so it is important I do not accidentally activate a download on that.

In firefox developer edition, when opening a new window of any kind, or when relaunching/opening the app, the new tab button always ends up on the left hand side. Going to the customization menu, I can move the button to the right side (next to the last tab), which is where I prefer it, however when opening any new window the button goes back to the left side

With the new iPhone iOS update to iOS 18, the tab view is expanded so I can only see two tabs at a time on my screen (see attached screenshot). Since I routinely have over 50 tabs open, this makes it very difficult to scroll through to find the one I want, or even just to peruse them.

Before the update, two open tabs were visible in each row, so I could see at least four open tabs at a time.

Is there any way to modify the view so I can see more tabs per screen again?
