With Sequoia released - the "Writing Tools" invoking Apple's AI are available in most apps now via the context menu (e.g. select a paragraph/block of text and right-click and the context menu or menu bar shows the menu entry "Writing Tools" wherein you can get the Apple AI ecosystem to rewrite, proofread etc - however this is not available yet in Thunderbird 128.4.2 when composing/editing an email.

See the screenshot below - I'm writing this using Safari and it's available here - even for this little message...

I appreciate this is a North American facility at present and you have to fully enable US English on your Mac and then enable "Apple Intelligence" in system settings...but once you have done this, the facility is available in most apps unless the API chosen doesn't support it.

Any thoughts if / when Thunderbird might get updated to use the API to invoke or enable this?

If I can think of the one writing app where I spend most of my time, it's eMail.....while it's true I can select a paragraph and pop it over to Notes via copy-paste, invoke the AI there and paste it back - that's not as convenient.

thoughts....jc

Hello,

My Websocket server recently started failing in Firefox. After some investigation it looks like the issues began in v130. The Websocker server works in all other browsers and in Firefox version <= 129. After much troubleshooting it seems like a change was made to the TLS negotiation when making a Websocket connection. I was able to temporarily solve the problem by forcing TLSv1.2 instead of negotiating the strongest TLS available. Was there a recent change to how TLS is negotiated when making a wss Websocket connection?

I haven't been able to load my emails for several days. It states different reasons why.....today it stated "Unable to open the folder Inbox on robinstrandell@centurylink.net because it is in use by some other operation. Please wait for that operation to finish and then select the folder again." When I try to do anything it goes to "not responding". You made me give a 6-number code to get here but of coarse I'm not getting my emails.......good thing I have an actual Centurylink account I could use.

When expanding the comments in an arstechica.com article with Firefox settings/accessibility/automatic font sizing switched on, frequently the font used is very large. A page refresh usually fixes the problem and the font return to the expected size.

I have also seen the same problem at www.theguardian.com.

I do not see this problem if automatic font sizing switched off.

I've attached 2 screenshots. In the example with the larger font, I had scrolled to the bottom of the article and clicked on the comments button to open the comments, then took the screenshot. Then I refreshed the page and took another screenshot.

Is this a known problem?

When I clear data of a site I expect it to only clear data of that site, but it clears all data of all sites under the top domain, which is unwanted behavior for me.

Is there any way how to clear data only from that specific subdomain without effecting the other subdomains?

I created a ticket for an app that it wouldn't keep my settings but it was not the app's fault. It was Firefox clearing data of that app when I cleared data of a totally unrelated app (but under the same top domain) which caused a lot of frustration to the team behind the app.

I'm using a pixel 8. Firefox is my default browser. I noticed safe search was suddenly locked on my phone. I went to search to try and trouble shoorlt and Firefox was gone from my phone! I reinstalled it. The next day it was uninstalled again. My phone was also really glitchy and a few apps stopped working. I wouldn't uninstall Firefox as it's my go-to browser. My bookmarks came back but lost all my dlsabed passwords. Anyone have Firefox randomly uninstall itself?
