So each time this pos browser updates I have to comb through ALL of the setting to see what their stupid brains though was a good idea to change for me? What kind of dirty underhanded BS is this? Mozilla is going to CHANGE my settings, NOT only to AUTO FREAKING OPEN like no one will notice this, now I have to spend time seeing if someone hacked my system. Well turns out, it was permission given I am sure through BS EULA. How is this not against the law?

cannot seem to send emails to multiple people without going thru mail merge. I can no longer type the persons name in to: field and it will not autofill. I tried to go to calendar function and got a blank screen.

Can I go back to a previous version?

I always keep program icon in tray and when a new/unread email arrives, a separate yellow icon would pop up next to it... Well, after updating from 158 to 159, that new/unread icon is no longer popping up. Now I have to periodically click the main program icon to open Thunderbird and see that there's tons of new/unread mail sitting there, but that yellow tray icon never showed!

I would like to roll back to 158 but it is proving to be quite difficult.

Hi I use Firefox-ESR with profiles. Every time firefox-esr updates on my Debian-13 I lose the -P option in /usr/share/applications/firefox-esr. So every FF update I need to vi this file :-( Is there a way to prevent this? tia G.

Support,

After updating Firefox to 159.0, two Firefox windows were opened although only one was open at the time before Firefox was closed during a Windows 11 Update! The first window was expected but the one below at the URL was not:

This has happened before. Please address.

As a public librarian, when I do a monthly update for the public computers I also update Firefox. Every time I do a Firefox update, I have to at minimum open Firefox twice, once to get the "here's a bunch of advertising for a thing you already use!" Out of the way, and then at least another time so I can make sure there isn't another ad page, so I can clear the history. Doing this every time I update Firefox is just a small pain point, but I don't enjoy having to do it a dozen times when I update our computers each month, and this month I had to do it three times because of the number of advertisements.

When I launch Thunderbird via icon ( version 158), it always brings me to sign on page for Thundermail.. If Thundermail is by invitation only, how do I get back to the real TB page. I can access webmail, my account, and portal. I only see Version 156 in download folder and only have default-release and default in the profile. I have no clue then what is happening. Will bringing back an earlier version. "ABOUT" shows version 158 and nothing else.

Also, my android email & passwords have remained constant and I did not have to change anything.

I use a number of add-ons that greatly enhance Thunderbird but they keep breaking as new updates are released:

Cardbook is a very useful address book add-on, integrating with my Google address book. However a few months ago it stopped working when a Thunderbird update was automatically installed (I think it was V158). The only way of overcoming this was to revert back to the ESR (Extended Support Release). That wasn't compatible with the database that had been modified by the latest release. Fortunately I had a back-up copy of the previous database which I had to recover.

A couple of months ago a new release stopped Cardbook working. By trial and error I discovered that Cardbook had been updated for compatibility with the latest Thunderbird release so I was able to restore normal operation by updating to Thunderbird V158.

Now Thunderbird has updated to V159 and Cardbook has stopped working again. If I open Cardbook it shows the address book completely empty. The Add-on Manager doesn't flag any compatibility issues. This is disasterous for me as I am totally dependent on using Cardbook.

Lightning Calendar Tabs is another useful add-on, giving access to my Google Calendar through a icon in the task bar. However that has also stopped working under V159. The Add-on Manager shows it as being incompatible with V159.

So why does Mozilla keep releasing updates that stop add-ons from working?. Can I revert back to V158 and stop further updates?

Hey there, I've installed Firefox and let it create the shortcut in the start menu, which results in a shortcut under `C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs` (as expected), but every time I update Firefox via the "Menu > Help and Report > About Firefox" dialog, it creates a shortcut under the current users Roaming folder `C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs`. Deleting the file will only work until the next update. Does anyone know a way to stop that behaviour?

It's not that I don't want the update page/tab - I just want to prevent it from stealing the foreground spot (which should be held by the last tab I had opened before closing the browser, as I have defined in my browser settings).

Hi,Please assist Every time I open Thunderbird it shows Software Updater(user account Control) But the Sofware is already up to date & this has been happening for over a week
