On fresh Firefox install that I setup using [https://mozilla.github.io/policy-temp.../#preferences|preferences] Which is option to disable those default ads?

Namely: twitter, youtube, facebook, Wikipedia and reddit.

I know I can do it manually with 5 x 2 clicks but that's 10 click every time I install browser.

Image showing YouTube as example what I want to get rid of.

Starting Thunderbird is extremely slow

Hello, I recently bought a MacBook Air 2024 with G3 chip (Sonoma 14.6.1) and used Time Machine to transfer all the data from my previous Apple MacBook Air from 2015 (Mojave 10.14.6) to the new computer. This also transferred my Thunderbird profile folder. It has the extension .default and an 8-digit combination of letters and numbers in front of it. Since the old version of Thunderbird no longer ran on Sonoma, I installed Thunderbird 115.15.0 and then opened Thunderbird on the new MacBook Air. Since then, Thunderbird has been taking an extremely long time to open (much longer than on the old MacBook Air with Mojave. Yesterday I updated to 128.2.0esr, which didn't help either. I deleted a deactivated extension in the add-ons, so that there are now no extensions, only a few dictionaries that I deleted as a test, which also did not bring any improvement. Switching off the hardware acceleration, clearing the cache and changing the themes did not improve the situation either. With the themes, I can only switch between dark, light and system theme - automatically. I checked and made sure that Thunderbird actually loads the .default profile folder from my old computer as the active profile. However, Thunderbird has also automatically set up a second profile with the extension .default-release. Could this be causing the problem? My active profile folder has a size of 15.21 GB and the new .deault-release profile folder has 18.6 MB. Both profile folders are located in Library/Thunderbird/Profiles I am quite desperate and hope that someone can help me. Thank you very much!

Good day

I hope you are well. I'm not sure if it's a bug or a problem but here is my problem. My settings are configured such that my sent emails are moved to the folder from where I'm replaying. Now and then the email I just send does not show the content of the email and also does not show anything in the subject or from who it is. The content of the email is random letters and symbols, maybe it shows only the encrypted email for some reason. This problem can not be a device problem because my college ran into the same problem. If I go on my phone (Gmail app) the email in question appears as normal there but not on my Thunderbird app on my laptop. The same problem also appeared from an email received from someone but only happened once or twice.

Please can you assist in solving this problem?

I use firefox on my windows laptop and on my ipad. I had set up bookmark syncing so that I could access the same bookmarks on both my laptop and ipad. At first it worked! But today I added some new folders and bookmarks and despite checking that the syncing had happened the new bookmarks added on my ipad are not visible on my laptop - what can I do to fix this?

I need to use one website that has an out of date certificate. I found out about adding the hostname to security.tls.insecure_fallback_hosts in about:config.

However, Firefox keeps clearing that setting when I'm not looking, sometimes in the same session! How can I make it persist?

I am unable to attach/send files through other programs or windows - instead of Thunderbird the program will try to use Outlook.

Thunderbird is set as the default map in MAILTO in Windows settings.

This worked fine until recently - I think a windows or Office 365 update may have overriden something, but I cannot find any settings to change to attach and send through Thunderbird.

Any help or advice would be much appreciated

There are websites that I go on that require verification codes. After entering the code I check the box to remember this device. So then the next time I go on the website I would not have to deal with a verification code. I've used Firefox for years and had no problem with the browser not remembering an approved website but now I'm experiencing this problem.
