Hi All,
I was using the following CSS to hide the navigation images and show only text labels on the context menu for the Back, Forward, Reload and Bookmark Page menu options...
/* Content Area Context Menu - Navigation Vertical Text */
#context-navigation,
#context-navigation > menuitem{
flex-direction: column !important;
}
/* hide images */
#context-back image, #context-forward image,
#context-reload image, #context-stop image,
#context-bookmarkpage image{
display: none !important;
}
/* show text labels */
#context-back:after, #context-forward:after,
#context-reload:after, #context-stop:after,
#context-bookmarkpage:after{
content: attr(aria-label) !important;
margin-inline-start: -19px !important; /* this pushes navigation text items to left, aligned with other menu items below */
}
It worked up until a couple of versions ago, but something has changed, and my CSS is now broken, and those navigation icons are back.
My context menu now looks like the attached image below.
Any help with showing only text labels on this menu is appreciated.
Thanks.

Please tell me how to get that account working on my laptop, thanks!! It keeps asking for my password, but doesn't accept it. I know it's correct, because I verified it by going into Thunderbird settings. And as above, the account works fine on my desktop computer.

Tuesday Oct. 7, our ISP converted to a new e-mail program. I could NOT log in/on I called our ISP's help desk. The 'technician' could not help me log in to our Thunderbird POP 3 account. He had me, WITHOUT asking if I had essential - legal - medical-etc. e-mails in the IN BOX or in folders! He NEVER warned/cautioned all ?would? be lost - GONE.
I URGENTLY need to recover all TB POP3 IN BOX & e-mails in folders. I need to access legal messages today, if possible.
If Mozilla does not have a recovery program, what do I do? I am not seeking to recover ' deleted messages (unless his having me change from the POP3 account to a 'new' IMAP account is the same as ' "delete" '.
Any & all prompt responses APPRECIATED! Remain WELL & Be SAFE!

HI all. This is a good one. I recently got a MAC, my first one, so dont know much about it. I installed thunderbird and can receive via IMAP but cant send via SMTP. I have smtp setup EXACTLY how it is on my windows PC which works. When I hit send on a message, it immediately comes back with "Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) <maileserver.com> timed out. Try again. This message comes back immediately, as in .000001 second. This particular mail server I own and is on my network, and checking the logs, the request never even gets to the server, so its not a server issue. (Again, it works for all my other devices and other clients). server info, password etc are correct. I tried deleting the account and recreating it but no go. From a command tool, I can telnet to my mail server on port 25 and it answers and I can interact. If I use the built in mac mail client, it works fine. So this is definitely a thunderbird issue from what I can tell. Thunderbird 143.0.1 (aarch64) on 26.0.1 (25A362) Any tips appreciated, Im ready to take a bath with a toaster. Thank you!

On all our computers it seems impossible to sign into Outlook...several laptops and 3 desktop...even a new Apple device. Enter your email address and then taken to the next page (see attachment). sign in works with Edge! This has been happening for maybe a month. Very frustrating! NEVER opens the next security window, the 'spots' just keep moving forever...selecting "Back" just repeats the cycle.

Since the recent Firefox upgrades, I am no longer able to log into the social security site using ID me. Previously, I logged in with no problem but now get a 400 error message saying the website is too large. Of course I have emptied cache and cookies and reloaded Firefox but nothing works. Apparently the error lies within the Firefox upgrade since before upgrading, there never was a problem logging in.

Can I safely access my Profile, which is on a Windows partition, when I am using Thunderbird under Linux (Fedora) on a different partition?
My computer is set up to dual boot using Windows 10 and Fedora Linux. I use Thunderbird and access my emails using POP3.
I use Windows most of the time and therefore my Thunderbird profile is on the Windows partition. But when I'm using Linux I sometimes like to be able to access my emails using Thunderbird. I have set up access in the Linux Thunderbird profile so that it points to my profile that is on the Windows partition.
In some earlier versions of Thunderbird that were around in 2022, I found that if I used Linux to open Thunderbird I could access my profile that was on the Windows partition and read and send emails, but then when I rebooted to Windows and tried to run Thunderbird, I found that my profile was broken and Thunderbird under Windows could not get to my emails.
But, confusingly, with some versions of Thunderbird, the Linux version of Thunderbird did not break my profile on the Windows partition.
I tried asking questions about this issue on the Forum back in 2022 but I received answers saying that what I was trying to do was very "dangerous" and I should not even attempt it (even though it did work sometimes with some versions of Thunderbird).
The last time I tried this was in 2022, and I have not tried it since then.
So, my question is "Is Thunderbird robust enough to allow me to access my Windows Thunderbird profile when I am running Thunderbird using Linux (Fedora) on a different partition?

The issue started about one week ago (today is 10/11/25). When I wanted to print while in Firefox browser, the print never executed. Instead the screen froze as did the browser. I had to do some experimenting to use my pointer and open a different browser. Yes - besides the pointer being frozen (all that showed was an hourglass) my keyboard was also frozen. When I finally opened a different browser and printed the same item, no problem. I had to close Firefox to be able to fully use my laptop again. I searched the solutions and none had an effect. Firefox would still freeze/hang/lock up when trying to print. The browser is up to date.

In one of my Firefox installs, the Profiler automatically starts recording every time I open Firefox. There's a button on the right that looks like a speedometer and it is blue until I tell it to stop. Then it is taskbar button color.
Profiler instructions at https://profiler.firefox.com/docs/#/./guide-removing-profiler say to simply drag this button off the toolbar and it will stop record. On restart, it's back on the toolbar, and it's recording.
I have tried refreshing Firefox. Doesn't help.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, and then setting up a new profile. Doesn't help.
I have tried deleting prefs.js. Doesn't help.
I have tried opening up the developer console, opening settings, and unchecking "performance." Doesn't help.
I searched the registry and found a key called MOZ_ENABLE_PROFILER (iirc, something like that). I set it to zero. Doesn't help. I then deleted the key entirely. Doesn't help.
How do I get rid of this thing? It must be a registry setting of some kind, as it appears in whatever Windows account I open Firefox from, but I can't find it. It is deeply frustrating as the computer it is happening on is my oldest computer, and I don't want a recorder running in addition to Firefox.

On my linux system, I have two users. If I log in as user A and use FF and leave a bunch of tabs open, I can view those tabs again later if I restart my computer and log in as user A, so FF remembers its history.
No Problem Scenario Logged in as A - open FF - open a bunch of tabs - CLOSE FF log out of A log in as B - do stuff log out of B log in as A - open FF; all the tabs are there
Problem Scenario Logged in as A - open FF - open a bunch of tabs - leave FF open (don't close FF before...) log out of A log in as B - do stuff log out of B log in as A - open FF; all the tabs are GONE
If I run into the Problem Scenario, I can sometimes use these steps to get the history/tabs back. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-restore-browsing-session-backup
Whether the steps work or not, the Problem Scenario is annoying. I don't know what causes this. My desktop manager is KDE.
