Where I live recently changed to a new timezone and while windows is set to the correct timezone, firefox did not get the memo and timestamps on every website are now an hour behind. I do use a vpn but turning it off or changing locations does not change the timestamps. I have tried restarting the browser and already confirmed privacy.resistFingerprinting is set to false.

How can I change the time in firefox or force firefox to sync to my windows time?

Yesterday while using Thunderbird on Samsung android phone the contents of my inbox completely disappeared. I searched Thunderbird's other folders such as Trash, Spam & Archive et al to no avail. This is disasterous for me. I see from a Goggle search that this is not uncommon.

Back again with the same issue from July 2026. Please see attached info

Hello. I am back again with the same issue that I presented on the forum post three months ago. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1594903?utm_campaign=questions-reply The difference is now it is happening on Firefox v157.0.1;everything else is identical. Qubes os R4.3.2 with Firefox 157.0.1 in a Fedora 44 xfce VM. To recap I open one window for Proxmox Datacenter Manager and as soon as I click to sign in Firefox completely disappears. I can open this in Chromium browser and Firefox ESR v.140.17.0 esr perfectly fine. Please consult the original post for all I did to troubleshoot this. I am working with the esr version now but would like to help put this issue to bed. Community members stepped up last time to help me so I am here to do my small part for others. Ask for any info you need and I'll reply ASAP. Thanks in advance. SDS

Current official docs explains how to backup and move your profile, it assumes you only have one. I have multiple profiles which means about a 20GB backup but I only want to backup one specific profile (<2GB).

The backup is not for recovery but I need to keep a history records for a specific account which can be accessed through Thunderbird even if the original email account no longer exists.

To backup/copy its recommended to do it for this folder %APPDATA%\Thunderbird\Profiles\ (about 20 GB)

While all I need is %APPDATA\Thunderbird\Profiles\xxxxx.default-release\ImapMail\Important_stuff* (2 GB folder and .msf file)

Any better solutions than these?

  1. Use a backup method that excludes specific folder and files in backup/copy of
  2. Have a completely different installation of Thunderbird that only does the Important_stuff account (Thunderbird portable looks like it might do the job).

I suspect the first version will pick up a lot of unnecessary configuration and other stuff.

I've been trying to get the browser toolbox window to work correctly for a couple of days now and I can't figure out what's going on. When I invoke the toolbox window with the shortcut key or through the menu entry the window pops up and asks for permission to connect (I click 'ok' in this box) but the window gets stuck before loading the toolbox ui, screenshot of what I'm seeing is attached.

I'm on windows 11 pro 25h2 and firefox 159.0.

I should note that this is the same behavior in a clean temp profile in firefox, as well as the same behavior in other firefox based browser, such as librewolf.

Does anyone here know what I can do to get this working?

Thanks for any help and let me know if you need any other info.

Windows 10 desktop, version 159.0, Right clicking on an image used to open the context menu. This suddenly changed. Now, when right clicking on an image, the image itself simply opens in the same tab. Anyone have any idea what happened or how to get the context menu to start opening as normal again?

(Shift + right click opens context menu as normal but never required a shift key hold before.)

Following a Thunderbird update (I think it was 2 updates ago) it changed the behaviour of the description field in the new events window. I use thunderbird in a dark screen mode, and everything works perfectly, except when I try to type something into that description window. I'm now tying black (intead of white) on an almost black background. It's virtually impossible to see anything I'm trying to type. All the other fields are typing fine, white on black. If I open an entry on my calander now, it's fine, apart from that description field, which is also displaying text as black on black. It's also the same if I reopen the entry for editing. I had hoped the next update was going to correct this anomally, but it didn't. Is anyone aware of / reported this issue? Will it be fixed in the next update? Thank you for looking at this. Oh, nearly forgot, when I highlight the black on black text by clicking and dragging (prep for cut / copy & paste) the black text actually shows up as white text on a blue background whilst the field is 'live' moving onto something else, the text remains withe on a grey background. Hope this helps.
