Coffusing (to me) method of registering. Getting fed up getting nowhere. Like Firefox having used it in the past.

I require to make Firefox my default browser with VPN.

Thanks in advance

I usually use rightclick+T to open new tab. And now sometimes it do a screenshot instead. Specially in some website that highlighting a link will popup an ui. So I want to disable this screenshot shortcut (but keep the open new tab shortcut).

Is there anyway to do it? Thank you!

Xubuntu 24.04.5 Firefox 158

Firefox used to position a new window on the screen in a somewhat predictable manner prior to 158.

For example, if there was a blank space on the screen between other windows, the browser would locate it and be placed there. A new instance would also appear on the active screen (I have two: left and right with a single window manager spanning both) where the mouse was located. Now the window is just placed in some arbitrary locations and may appear on the non-active screen.

I have a number of scripts that load various sets of windows on the screen (typically a number of xfce4-terminals and the browser) which used to pretty much work, but no longer as the browser windows can show up any place and must then be relocated. When I start a new session I have eight distinct desktops with many versions of Firefox on each. It is tiresome to have to relocate one browser window after another.

Is there any option I can set that would revert to the older screen placement algorithm?

Also, I asked this before and don't remember getting any satisfactory response. Why is the -geometry flag not supported on Firefox any longer? What's the opposition to giving the user control over this? I want some command-line method for accurately setting the size (WxH) and position (X:Y) of the browser window on the screen. Am I missing something here?

Thanks for any pointers.

Hey FF Support Team,

I am using Firefox version 157.0.1 (64-bit) (mint-001-1.0) on Linux Mint 22.3 Cinnamon. 4 Monitors are connected. In a previous version, don't know which but it is not long time ago, Firefox opened, when I clicked on the task bar icon, always on the monitor, where I moved the mouse to. Now in the writen version above, it is opening on the monitor, where the last Firefox window was closed.

It used to be so easy to tell Firefox where to open a new window, but that feature is gone now. Or is there maybe a setting somewhere to turn it back on? I didn't find anything in about:config, though.

Please do not confuse the behavior described here with the System Settings feature > Moving and Resizing Windows > Location of newly opened Windows, which works differently and is, unfortunately, very impractical.

I hope you can give me the key tip

Best regards Mario

Keep messages in all folders for this account on this computer: In Synchronization & Storage what are the pros and cons of selecting or not selecting this option for small or large email accounts?

My email used to put all my new emails at the top of the inbox. But recently it has started putting them in between the emails already in my inbox. How can I get my inbox to load my new emails at the top of the inbox?

Hi I am at my wits end here - The date in my Thunderbird is behind by 1 hour. This is affecting sent messages and also received messages.

This just started today. For over a year, the time has been correct. I have not changed any settings in Thunderbird prior to this issue.

My Win11 computer shows the date and time correctly.

I had a Win11 update yesterday. Not sure if that has affected Thunderbird (My province - Manitoba Canada - also stopped using daylight time changes in the last couple of months.) We are now permanently CDT, and is UTC/GMT -5 - which is what it shows in my Win11 setting.

My timezone and time in Win11 settings shows correctly.

Just to see if it would make a difference - In Win11 settings->Time & Language - I changed the time zone automatic to off (even tho the time zone showed correctly) and set it manually to UTC-5:00 Manitoba, - I changed 'Set Time automatically' to off, set the time manually and synced the time.

No difference with Thunderbird.

Why is my time off in Thunderbird?, and what can I do or check to fix this?

I was on my computer and signed into Mozilla Firefox. They asked me to pair with my mobile app, which is FoxFocus. I'm just trying to do that. It says that I should go to the sign-in menu or tap Sign In and then tap Ready to Scan but there is no such thing on this app. I'm just wondering how to do it

I use middle-click to close the tabs and move and select tabs around a lot and often misclick on a button by accident and I find that really annoying and tedious to always have to scrutinize the buttons before clicking.

I want to hide all of these buttons.

I have tried userchrome and etc... user scripts, that does not work reliably.

I need to increase the font size of the display. It is about 8 point. I cannot find an article that says how to increase the display when I first open Thunderbird. I can increase the font form the actual message or replies.

An email displayed in dark mode modifies the formatting of the email. For example I received an email from Zillow. If in dark mode the images are cropped but in normal/white mode email is normal and I can see the whole imaged.

Hello:

In Thunderbird, a double-click no longer opened a highlighted email in a new tab as the 'Classic' setup used to do.

I ended up in system setting for the mouse/touchpad. The 'double click' slider had NO value set to it. The 'double click' test did not work.

I set 'a' value to the slider. Viola! The double click test works. Thunderbird works as it used to, as it has.

SOMEthing put a null value in the system settings. I had been nowhere around that function setting.
