How do I stop sound notifications for incoming mail custom filtered as junk?

I have filters set up for certain words; these filters send the incoming message to the junk mailbox where I have them stay for a while. However, they send sound notifications when they come in; I'd rather not know that I'm getting these.

Thanks!

I have used Firefox for ages now and love it. I have noticed in the last few months that some functions on some web sites are not able to be accessed. Such as submit, place an order, and the like. I have to use another browser. Is there any reason for this as I really don't like to use any other browser other than Firefox but it seems to be that I have to. Is there some way that I can get around this?

I'm using Firefox in a kiosk-mode application, on a Raspberry Pi based system, started from a bash script like this:

# Clear history etc. to prevent problems if unit is not perfectly shut down rm -v -r /home/pi/.mozilla/firefox/*.default rm -v -r /home/pi/.mozilla/firefox/*.default-esr rm -v -r /home/pi/.cache/mozilla/firefox/*.default rm -v /home/pi/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini

sleep 2

/usr/bin/firefox-esr --kiosk -url http://127.0.0.1

However on booting I get a banner from Mozilla along the top of the screen saying: "Firefox automatically sends some data to Mozilla so that we can improve your experience [Choose what I share]"

This is not acceptable in kiosk mode, as it would give users access to the configuration as well as being a visual annoyance. How can we disable this?

Twitter conversion to X. When trying to use Twitter (X) links it never seems to work for me on Firefox. When I switch over to Edge browser the link to X works fine. It always find my account from the Twitter link on Firefox, but always tells me I am locked out. Says something is not right but it's not my fault? Any thoughts?

I need Help! The image attached, it this coming from Firefox? It say's it is. If it is how do I turn it off? It's blocking me from accessing a Government site. Please! I need help to figure out how to shut this off!

Hi last night my web browser updated and when it opened back up all the websites and everything I had saved was completing missing I’ve never had this happen before with an update usually everything is there when it finishes updating. How can I fix this?

In Firefox, recently I am unable to download pdf documents. I get the message "download failed". If I request the same download using Chrome, I get the download immediately. But Firefox is my default browser and it's a nuisance. This only started in the past month or so.

For some reason about three or four weeks ago my search results stopped showing images. A few will show up on the results page, but if I choose "Images,' I get a page that's completely empty. Behavior is not repeated with Edge or Chrome. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I am evaluating a password manager application and exported my FF passwords and imported them into the app. For testing I removed all of the passwords from FF. I want to password protect the csv file rather than delete it in case I need to import the passwords back into FF. When I go to File/Info, the "Protect Workbook" option is greyed out. When I go to the "Review" tab, the option to "Protect Workbook" is available, not the "Unprotect" option, so the workbook is not protected. If I click on the "Share" folder on the right side of the ribbon, there is no "More" option. In Windows Explorer the file is on my desktop, not OneDrive - Personal. I right clicked on the file, selected "Give access to" and took the option to remove access. The File/Info option is still greyed out. How can I password protect this file or how can I export it in a format that can be imported later?

Late yesterday, all my bookmarks disappeared. Whenever Firefox ask me to update, I do. Please advise if they are stored anywhere from which I can retrieve them. Probably close to a thousand.

I cannot load the IRS webpage for my account. I load the following page: "https://www.irs.gov/" click on "Sign into your account" which directs me to another webpage: "https://www.irs.gov/your-account". I click on "Individual-sign into online account" and get the following error: "Error from: https://sa.www4.irs.gov/sso/?resumePath=%2Fas%2F0ysmHPaqAO%2Fresume%2Fas%2Fauthorization.ping&allowInteraction=true&reauth=false&connectionId=SADIPACLIENT&vnd_pi_requested_resource=https%3A%2F%2Fsa.www4.irs.gov%2Fola%2F&vnd_pi_application_name=OLA Reference ID:"

I can get into the Direct Pay website with no problem. I also can access my IRS account using my IPhone which makes me think this is a browser problem. I have disabled anti virus with no success. I called IRS and they have never heard of this problem and had no solution and said they didn't handle this issues.

Any suggestions please?

I tried to open my Firefox browser, but was unable to. Same thing with my Google chrome browser. I ran the troubleshooter for network problems, but unable to get a solution.

I downloaded a new Firefox browser in the hopes that it would let me access the other browser so I could retrieve all the settings, bookmarks, etc. However, everything disappeared when the new browser was installing.

Is there any way for me to retrieve that information or is it a total loss?

After installing v133.0.3 of Firefox for Mac, I can no longer log in to my ASUS router. Were there security changes behind the scenes that could have caused this failure? I can still connect to my router using Safari and all other connections work fine.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts and suggestions.
