When I do "save as " action for an image in the browser it opens dialogue window to save selected image. Unfortunately it displays files and folders in some random order, rather than my preferred order (sorted alphabetically by name, followed by sorting by type).

I can see no rhyme or reason to the way Firefox lists files and folders in the dialogue window, so every time I am saving an image I have to sort things by name and type before I can find what I want.

This is not permanent so I have to repeat this action every time I save an image.

How do I, please set application preferences? to make this setting permanent?

Hello, I imported Bookmarks when I came to Firefox from a previous browser. The experience was terrible and challenges still linger. Firefox has come a long way, however UX still seems to be a 2nd class citizen. Bookmarks now has somewhat duplicate directories and this in turn is causing desktop/phone sync doubt and is likely missing bookmarks.

When sync breaks, it is so confusing. How can I simply have a working Bookmarks sync on desktop/phone?

Perhaps there was a challenge when I need Bookmarks to appear in the top bar when a new Tab is opened, as this was contrary to default Firefox settings.

I have used Thunderbird to manage my google calendar on PC, windows 11, for years. It seems now that when I add an event, hit save and close, it is not saved. All the events show. I can add events on my phone, and they show up in the calendar on Thunderbird, instantly. I just can no longer add events. I can try, but when I save, they do not appear in the Thunderbird calendar, or in Google. I did just recently change my password in Google, and had to re-authenticate Thunderbird, I suspect that's the instigator of the issue. I just feel I'm missing something. One note-if I click on "add account", there is no option for calendar anymore. Maybe this is gone.

I have previous ask questions on how to transfer profiles, local folders, sent messages, and all address from my old Windows 10 PC to a new Windows 11 PC. "David" provided a very help way to transfer the profiles between machines which helped immensely. However, I still do not seem to have the address book file(s).

Here is where I am and what I would like to be able to do.

When I first installed Thunderbird on the new PC, I set it up as an IMAP account with comcast.net. The contacts in the address book were showing. When I copied my Thunderbird profile from the old PC to get my Local Folders, the address book was gone. I repeated the install process and copying process to make sure I was not making an error. The results were the same each time.

What I would like to do is to find and directly copy the address file(s) from the old PC to the new. Is this possible and where are they located?

Thank you in advance to the time and patience to answer my question.

I've installed Thunderbird on new computer, and moved over from the old computer emails and Address Books (including customized ones). But when I start a new message, I can't get any e-addresses to appear in the To box.

What do I need to do to access Addresses?

I upgraded to 143.2 on iOS 26.0.1, but I cannot access any swipe tab gestures, which I assume means I can just swipe left and right in address bar to move between tabs.

I have various shortcuts saved on the shortcut page comes up after logging in. Its set to 2 rows.. I use it every day. Used it this morning and working perfectly. Been out and when I came back the page is totally blank. I've tried sytem restore to 5th October but makes no difference. I use Windows 10 and read that Firefox are continuing to support Windows 10 I'm visually impaired and use a desktop PC with a large screen. I'm not PC techically knowledgeable. How do I restore my shortcuts or how do I re create them?

Firefox declare to be aware of privacy but as soon as I use Firefox to go on the internet, I immediately get connections from these 2 addresses : 34.107.243.93 34.107.221.82 in addition to the address of the site I connect to.

And sometimes, I receive so many connection attempts on ports that are not implied in the connection I have established with the initial site (conntrack) that I am obliged to disconnect the network.

This does not happen with other browsers like Konqueror, Falcon, etc. I suffered an attack in this way in the past with heavy consequences. Is there a way to configure Firefox in order to suppress it ?

Firefox freezes when I try to sign into YouTube via Google. Becomes totally unresponsive and I have to close browser. It's the only site this happens on. I have cleared the cache and cookies, unchecked "Hardware Acceleration" and other recommendations from other posts. Please talk to me like I'm your Baby Boomer dad.

I've used Thunderbird with the Owl add-on for Exchange/Outlook accounts for several years. Recently I've found when I open Thunderbird on my laptop, a tab opens for each account, apparently showing the Outlook web page for each account. This is great, but on the same version of Thunderbird (140.3.1esr) on my desktop, that doesn't happen. I can't see how to open these tabs there, or even how to reopen one of these tabs on my laptop, except from Go->Recently Closed Tabs. Am I missing something? What controls this behaviour?

The favicons on my homepage are not appearing when I launch Firefox, and I can't find any way to restore them. Turning the favicons on/off in the settings doesn't help, it just moves the location of the search bar. I've included some images to better illustrate the problem.

Is there any way we can restore the favicons?

Most of my Comcast Mail is going directly to Trash. Many of these e-mails have a green dot. What does this green dot mean? Why is all this happening? I don't have a problem with Outlook Mail or GMail?
