On my Android phone, I cannot get rid of Firefox pasting from clipboard, even though I have this option turned off in my Firefox settings and what Firefox pasted is not even in my clipboard anymore! When I do copy/paste in other apps, Firefox seems to copy something and if I long press on the search bar in Firefox, it pastes that into the search bar. The only way I can get rid of it is to restart my phone every time. Any help, suggestions, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

This happens on Firefox for Linux Mint 149.0 (64-bit) brand new profile.

This occurs when there are multiple tabs open to the point that they need to be resized after closing a tab.

When I attempt to close another tab with a middle click, all the tabs are resized on the mouse click down action. The tab that is newly under the cursor when middle click is released is closed. This is causing unintended tabs to be closed.

Any help or workaround would be appreciated.

Thanks, Tim

My email provider is GMX and I have completed 2fa with an app-specific password for Thunderbird. The setup was authenticated.

For Thunderbird, under my email address setup I have included my name, email address (rdoty@gmx.com), the app-specific password for Thunderbird and the personal password for my email account.

Under my account settings I have entered my Account Name as my email address and also for the email address entry. Under Privacy and Security/Saved Passwords they are as follows; imap://gmx.com (imap://gmx.com) along with the app-specific password, but the SMTP does not show and I'm not sure how that gets entered.

The SMTP info is included under Account Settings as follows; Description = GMX Freemail, Server Name = mail.gmx.com, Port=465, Connection Security = SSL/TLS, Authentication Method= Normal Password and Username = rdoty

I did disable Encrypted Web Scan in my AV software Bitdefender

When I select Get Messages Thunderbird always times out and won't connect. What do I need to do to get TB to recognize GMX?

Frustrating, i'm used to firefox....so FIREFOX is not compatible to Peacock. and i installed Firefox again since it was running slow, crashing glitches,& non responsive...

Two days ago my Thunderbird was working perfectly. Since then, something happened and I have no idea what it could have been.

When I go to the CenturyLink ISP website, I can get my email. When Thunderbird worked two days ago, it could get my messages from 4 different email accounts at centurylink.net with Thunderbird.

Now, when I attempt to connect it says "Login to server pop.centurylink.net with username khalmeigh@centurylink.net failed." It offers the option to enter a password, which I tried repeatedly. Same thing. No ability to retrieve email, and again, nothing changed.

If I go to centurylink.net, I can retrieve my email. There is no problem with the email address, nor is there a problem with the password, or the host.

I've been using this program for a year and it suddenly stopped working. There is nothing wrong with centurylink.net.

Hello everyone,

yesterday I got quite a scare. While Firefox was open, a new tab briefly appeared showing the page about:processes, and immediately afterwards the browser closed itself on its own.

At the same time, Chrome was open in the background. When I clicked on Chrome, a prompt appeared asking whether I wanted to allow changes to be made to the system (the typical UAC prompt). However, I’m not entirely sure if this was actually triggered by Chrome or possibly by another application.

I clicked “No” on the UAC prompt and immediately unplugged my keyboard. I recently started using an ASUS ROG Falcata, which is connected via USB.

After that, I ran a virus scan with Windows Defender — it didn’t find anything. I also ran AdwCleaner, which also came up clean.

At first, I suspected the ASUS ROG Falcata (I’ve only been using it for a few days), since it’s almost like a small computer itself and can execute macros, patterns, etc. I was worried about a possible firmware bug or something worse. At the moment, I’m honestly hesitant to plug it back in and am using an old Dell keyboard instead.

Importantly, I wasn’t pressing any keys at the time of the incident.

Now I’m quite unsure what could have caused this.

Is there any way to trace this in Firefox (e.g., via logs)?

And is there any (event) log where I could check what triggered the UAC prompt?

One more thing I noticed: I shut down the PC afterward and turned it back on later that evening. Everything booted normally and is still running fine today. However, Firefox updated itself yesterday from version 148.2 to 149. Maybe that was somehow related (though there’s no indication in the Firefox update history that anything failed or similar).

Got a message that my VPN auto pay failed (I just got a new card since my old card was compromised). Went into my account and changed the credit card. I also have Thunderbird, so I wanted to change that auto pay, but it's not viewable in my account. Do I have to wait until my next auto pay for Thunderbird fails to get a notice with a link to fix it?
