Hello.

I've found myself to rely on Firefox for some specific workflows that require sending emails that are generated automatically by a website, and I use it across multiple devices, such as Windows, macOS.

Unfortunately, when it comes to iOS, using the aforementioned website, when tapping the relevant "mailto" button, nothing happens.

Some months ago the specific website that I use, was failing to do this action on any webkit browser, but this was later patched by the developer and the flow now works correctly within Safari. This was caused by stricter enforcement of "user-initiated" actions.

Unfortunately it seems that Firefox isn't either capable of invoking the mail client, or get the data from the website properly.

Thunderbird: 153.0 (64-bit), Windows 11

Have noticed that my TRASH Folder is missing in the folder view. The actual folder exists, it just will not display.

Also creating new folder under are created (I checked the mail folder) but will also fail to display. Creating subfolders into an existing folder works. And moving it under INBOX, making it a subfolder also works and displays

Any ideas how to recover/display the TRASH folder and new folders ? As the TRASH folder is missing it means I have no way to look at deleted email or recover them. Nor any way to search delete emails.

Emptying the TRASH works - no errors.

Enclosed are jpg copies of the current sets of filters failures in my TB email program.

TB Error0 shows the 6 emails that have arrived and are placed in the INBOX. However, each of these has a corresponding filter set up to move them upon arrival to a separate subject email mailbox.

Note: If I highlight the INBOX and then go to Tools > Run Filters On Folder ... all of these INBOX email messages will be correctly filtered and moved to their respective email mailbox, BUT each of them is shown as having been "read" and unless you pay close attention, you may not know where these INBOX emails were sent.

I am also enclosing TB Error1 & 2 that show the last couple of days message filtering errors.

I can find nothing wrong with how each of these filters are set up, yet they seem to consistently fail to operate when new emails arrive.

Note one of them is for incoming emails from ... schiffsovereign.com. I have edited this filter repeatedly, even deleted it and re-input the information. Yet the filter never takes hold and does what it is designed to do. I am enclosing a jpg of that specific filter as TB Error3

I am looking for suggestions on how to fix this problem.

Thank you and best wishes,

For example, if one moves their mouse button close to the bottom edge of their browser window, holds down the left mouse button then drags the mouse further down to the edge of the browser window, it will begin to scroll downward. The same thing happens on the right edge of the window if there's a horizontal scroll bar for the page.

Does anyone know of a way to disable this? Is there something in about:config maybe? Thanks.

I am trying to disable the text segmentation behavior in latest Firefox(v151), but I have encountered an issue where changing the preference in [about:config] does not seem to have any effect.

Details:

   Target Preference:  intl.icu4x.segmenter.enabled
   Current Setting:       false
   Problem: 
   Even after setting this to false (and restarting the browser), the text segmentation behavior (such as word selection logic) remains unchanged and appears to still be using the ICU4X engine.
   Reference:
   https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1440483#answer-1638092


I would like to know:

  1.  Has this preference been deprecated or hardcoded to true in recent versions of Firefox?
   2. Is there any other way to disable the ICU4X-based segmenter or revert to the previous segmentation logic?
   3. If this is a known change, is there an alternative preference to adjust how word selection handles specific languages (e.g., Japanese)?

I am using the latest version of Firefox. Any insights or workarounds would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!

On my Android samsung phone, I often need to switch from Firefox app to Aquamail app and then back to Firefox app .

The reason is to read the code sent to confirm identity (for MFA)

The concern is when I'm back to Firefox app, it refreshes the Firefox page and ... the browsed website send again another code in a new mail... This loop prevents me definitively the connection to the browsed website!

(Unless I have a separate PC to read mails without leaving Firefox app on my phone).

It happens for about 75% of the websites I need. And is probably linked to the manner the different websites are written.

I precise than I accepted cookies from all these websites ( hotels, regular buying, electric car loading, etc).

What can I do on Firefox options or on Android options to avoid the concern, which is really a blocking point  ?

Thanks for any help. Ulysse

Thunderbird 153 in Linux Mint 22.1 XFCE.

I use Waterfox installed via flatpak as my default browser. Unfortunately Thunderbird's Oauth2 verification pages don't open correctly in that browser, due to some of the browser add-ons I have installed in Waterfox.

I also have Firefox and Chromium installed. I want Thunderbird to always ask which browser to use before it opens a link. I followed instructions I found in multiple places on the internet:

  • Open config editor
  • Set network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http and network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https to true
  • Restart Thunderbird
  • Click a https (or http) link in an email: Waterfox opens
  • Settings-General-Files & Attachments: There is now an Action dropdown for https (or http) with options 'Always ask', 'Use Web Browser (default)', 'Use other...' and 'Delete Action'. The current selection is 'Use Web Browser (default).
  • Change Action to 'Always ask'
  • Restart Thunderbird
  • Click a https (or http) link in an email: Waterfox opens again, even though 'Always ask' is still the selected action.
  • Restart Thunderbird.
  • Settings-General-Files&Attachments: The https (or http) action has now changed back to 'Use Web Browser (default)'

How do I get Thunderbird 153 to ask which browser to open for a web link?
