'Every time' I'm on a webpage I get that question if I want to have this page translated into German.

PLEASE - How can I deactive this !!!

wie kann ich das Beta Fenster übersetzen ausschalten / deaktivieren?

Please add a feature to disable the unread message counter on certain folders. I don't want to see how many messages I have in the Trash folder, they're in this folder because I don't want to read them, but this counter annoys me

The Thunderbird start page in the General Settings is set to open to this URL by default: https://live.thunderbird.net/%APP%/start?locale=%LOCALE%&version=%VERSION%&channel=%CHANNEL%&os=%OS%&buildid=%APPBUILDID%

However when I open Thunderbird there is a security alert in the web panel.

I'm running Firefox 130.0.1 (64-bit) and noticed when I read a foreign-language wikipedia article, I do not get the translation icon in the right end of the menu bar. All I see is the "Toggle reader view" icon and the "Bookmark this page icon." I can't figure out where it went. I saw another thread that asked people to check their General settings and "choose your preferred language for displaying pages" option, but it's already set to English (US).

Hello, Yesterday the Google calendar tab opened with a message and stupidly I didn't read it - I just closed the tab and thought I'd check it later. Then I realised I could neither dismiss TB calendar notifications or snooze them. Next I realised I could no longer add to the TB calendar or delete any items that were already in there. I'm not sure if there has been a recent update which may have brought this about but any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

Bonjour, sur Thunderbird Version 128.8.1 esr 32 bit, Dans agenda, le bouton "+ Nouvel évènement" est grisé et inopérant. Mon agenda est "GMAIL" Comment le réactiver. Merci pour votre aide Cordialement

imap.gmail.com is configured and working on my main desktop PC via Thunderbird. The account is used strictly for sending out Word mailmerge emails. The setup is using Oauth2 and the IMAP syncing is fully functional. I'm trying to set up an identical IMAP account on a laptop PC to access and synch to the same Gmail account, but am getting a "setup-failed" message. I have used all the same parameters as the desktop setup, but no luck.

I am a personal user. After installing the latest upgrade on my laptop (not the computer I am using now), Firefox now says I'm part of an organization and don't have permission to change settings. It no longer recognizes several browser extensions, including my Bitwarden extension (most annoying). Do I have to uninstall Firefox completely?

TIA

I'm using Firefox in a kiosk-mode application, on a Raspberry Pi based system, started from a bash script like this:

# Clear history etc. to prevent problems if unit is not perfectly shut down rm -v -r /home/pi/.mozilla/firefox/*.default rm -v -r /home/pi/.mozilla/firefox/*.default-esr rm -v -r /home/pi/.cache/mozilla/firefox/*.default rm -v /home/pi/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini

sleep 2

/usr/bin/firefox-esr --kiosk -url http://127.0.0.1

However on booting I get a banner from Mozilla along the top of the screen saying: "Firefox automatically sends some data to Mozilla so that we can improve your experience [Choose what I share]"

This is not acceptable in kiosk mode, as it would give users access to the configuration as well as being a visual annoyance. How can we disable this?

Hello! I have used Thunderbird for many years. Lately, it waits much too long to prompt compacting all accounts. When "Compact all folders when it will save over ..." is set down to 1MB total, it still does not prompt until it has to clear 30 or 40 MB.

It didn't do this in the past, prompting me every 2 or 3 days at higher settings. So, I'm curious if this is "normal" now and I need to manually compact, or if there is a problem with 'Account Settings > Disk Space > Compact all folders' ... ?

I'm not sure what has changed within Fierfox for it to IGNORE MY CHOICES for deleting all browsing or temporary cached info when I close the browser.

I didn't give you permission to store cookies on my local drive... So why aren't you clearing my temporary cached files when I EXIT the browser... It used to be "0" now the closest I get is "14k"... Why won't you delete that 14kb???

You toot yourself as a browser that safeguards peoples browsing history etc...

It would be better if you JUST CAME CLEAN and fessed up to your lies!!!

I am running Mozilla Firefox on Windows 11. I am using Rogers Yahoo Mail. Unfortunately the mail program has "Spell Check". It can best be described as intrusive. Every letter I type in my mail the spell check keeps popping up and bothering/interfering me to the point where it is very annoying and frustrating. I need to get rid of it permanently. I saw some suggestions where I could go to 'settings' and uncheck the box that says 'check your spelling as you type', it was unchecked and the spell check keeps popping up non stop! PLEASE show me how I can stop this aggravating feature. Thanks, Larry

Hello. I have a very important question. I still have the old version of Firefox. There were applications that you have now closed (Speed Dial. I have a lot of websites there that I really need, and without this program I won't be able to restore them. Can I ask you to open this application for at least a couple of days so that I can copy them all and then install them in the new version. my account is [edited] @mail.ru

Hello everyone, I've a question about (local) disk space for IMAP accounts. I have an IMAP account; at the beginning I've checked in "Synchronization & Storage" the flag "Keep messages in all folders for this account on this computer". After a while, after I had received many emails, I've unchecked this; I was expecting the disk space occupied by the account to be released, but it didn't happen. I've also checked in the "Advanced" button, just below the flag "Keep messages in all folders for this account on this computer", that every single folder is NOT checked for offline use.

How can I recover my disk space without losing any email?

Thanks in advance

I am trying to sign into Yahoo Mail while in Paris. The login page only comes up in French. I can’t read it. I can only guess at what they are asking for, and can’t get it to work.

During my messing around while trying to solve a UI problem arising from a migration to a new-to-me used Mac, I found a way to change the font size in the "Subject" field of e-mails in their own window, and as an experiment made it larger. It did not change the other problem, which has been solved.

Now I can't re-find that place in any of the settings, and want to change it back to the default. Please, someone, anyone, where is it?

Using TB 136.0...

For the longest time I used Eudora until the developers dropped it.

I did play with GMAIL for a while but I'm not too fond of having oligarchs know my every thought.

I even gave Outlook a trial for a couple of years but I grew tired of the damned add-on developers gouging me.

I tried Thunderbird and liked it a great deal. So much so that I happily make a monthly payment to show appreciation.

Okay, so, I switched to Windows Pro 11 and installed Thunderbird. I don't like it at all. Few controls match what I knew and I have better things to do with my days than go digging around to try to figure out what was perfectly comprehensible six months ago.

So, my questions are -

Is there any chance that you will ever add a nice simple button that says "Revert to Earlier Interface"

If that doesn't have a chance in hell of ever coming into being, can you suggest a decent email program that isn't from Big Coder and that can replace Thunderbird?

I'm not stupid or lazy - I worked in IT for 35 years - but I'm long past the point where trying to figure out what the other guy did to a favorite application was enjoyable. Stable and functional is good. New and mystifying is not.

Suggestions appreciated.

I have lost years of folders for one of my accounts. I know the path of C:\Users\kturl\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles, and have clicked on all the folders there to set up the path to the history. And a related issues, I can only see the Inbox for the account. Is there a phone number for help or can someone help me? This has been going on for now 4 months. Thank you.

We are currently considering using Firefox ESR as our default browser but experiencing a few issues and one of them is with our configured SailPoint IdentityIQ Single Sign-On Experience, which uses Basic Authentication.

Issue Description First, the login button needs to be clicked multiple times before access to the site is granted. Once signed in, the Firefox inbuilt authentication dialogue appears, prompting the user to log in again (see the attached screenshot). The landing page is only presented after clicking the login button several times. This creates a poor user experience, sometimes causing pages to load improperly. Interestingly, the same process works seamlessly in Edge Chromium.

Troubleshooting Steps Taken I have already attempted the following: 1. Temporarily disabled all custom and security settings in mozilla.cfg and config.json. 2. Temporarily disabled Firefox Tracking Protection. 3. Allowed third-party cookies for the specific URL. 4. Upgraded Firefox Version to 128.7.0 5. Since our Firefox browser is significantly hardened, I have also enabled and reconfigured the following settings in mozilla.cfg to ensure Basic Authentication is allowed, functions properly, and suppresses Firefox’s authentication prompt, but without success:

network.http.phishy-userpass-length = 255 network.http.use-basic-auth network.automatic-ntlm-auth.allow-non-fqdn network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris security.enterprise_roots.enabled security.enterprise_roots.enabled

Observations from SailPoint Team Our colleagues from SailPoint have tested the setup in their environment, and according to them, it works as expected. However, their browser is not hardened, and they have leveraged the SailPoint UI for authentication instead of the built-in Firefox authentication prompt.

Further Investigation • Is there a specific configuration required in the user profile settings? • Network trace analysis shows 404 errors on GET requests and the following error codes on POST requests: • 302 Redirect: Mozilla Documentation • 408 Request Timeout: Mozilla Documentation

Next Steps Is there a specific security setting that needs to be enabled or disabled? Are there any particular Firefox enterprise policies we should modify? I have also attached screenshots for reference. Let me know if you need specific logs or network traces for further troubleshooting.
