Hi,

I use Thunderbird 152.0.1 (64-Bit) and I only have three items in the files & attachment section of general settings (JPG, PDF, Excel). How can I add more items, for other file types? Is there an easy way to do this or does this mean I have to deep dive into the configuration of Thunderbird?

And would it be possible to add an item to declare that website links in e-mails have to be opened with Firefox in private mode, which is not the standard browser on my machine?

Thx!

Firefox version 152.0 : Firefox is continuously refreshing the page on a particular Website, in both Windows11 and Linux versions, making the site unusable ( unable to click anything ). The website loaded ok previously using Firefox and still loads ok using Chrome. Disabling extensions doesn't help, neither does deleting the cache and cookies. What changed and why? Is there anything else to try?

Today i moved mails between folders. The move was successful, as confirmed by the webmailer. However Thunderbird stopped displaying these messages. Instead i got several popups, that the server is not available.

I have 2 issues with that:

First: Popups are disruptive. Especially when they block interaction with Thunderbird. Especially when using a tiling windowmanager(sway). Especially when there are multiple, which need to be closed in a specific order, because interaction is blocked by the newer popups.

How can i block these popups? Disable sync is not a reasonable option.

Second: Why did thunderbird not display the moved messages? Is it a bug? Or a config issue?

Hi, I had to reinstall my windows where I thought my Firefox would sync up upon reinstallation. However, nothing would sync up and the best I could do myself was to import pretty out-of-date Chrome data. When I to my firefox account and scroll to connected services I see my last PC name with its firefox login. Is there any way to recover that data and import to my current device? I read you kept sync data as encrypted data on your Mozilla servers, so I hope that's a viable solution.

TB152.0.1 (Windows 11 64-bit) add-ons/extensions not working

I've just transferred my profile to a new computer, for which I downloaded TB152 (had been running TB128), and no add-ons/extensions work. Of course many were rendered inoperative with the update, but that's not the issue, because:

  1. Even those which claim to be compatible, or were updated since the transfer for the purpose of extension compatibility, do not work.
  2. Moreover, when I invoke the Add-ons Manager to inquire about the various non-working extensions, none of the links (which can be seen and read by the OS), can be invoked or even copied (to be, for example, pasted into a browser window).

I went through the standard [[Mozilla Support diagnostics|https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/hyperlinks-in-messages-not-working]] and found no answers. Can someone suggest a next step?

Trying to understand why this problem is related only to the extensions, I examined the profile's "extensions" folder. There are 40 .xpi files (same as the number of mostly-disabled (and mostly-expired) extensions in the Add-ons Manager), along with a subdirectory named "staged" containing 7 empty folders with what appear to be .xpi filenames - though none of those empty-folder-filenames match any of the .xpi files in the parent "extensions" folder. Because the "staged" folder has a recent timestamp (apparently the last time TB shut down), it seems to have some significance to TB operation - but what can be the use of it is more than I can see. What is the significance of that folder and its contents?

Two final (and possibly related) questions about this "extensions" folder:

  1. Is there any way to relate the <filename>.xpi to the name in the Add-ons Manager?
  2. Since nothing in the "extensions" folder identifies which are enabled, there must be some file containing a functional description of the folder's contents. Where would that be?

Grateful for any pointers, -John

In my Thunderbird I have some folders with names printed italic starting with "INBOX". The folders are empty, so it's easy to delete them. After deleting I don't see the folders anymore. But after shutting down Thunderbird and starting Thunderbird again, the folders are back... How do I delete the folders to not see them anymore?? (see also attached screen print)

I recently migrated from a much older version of Thunderbird where I had been using the Mail Merge add on. In 151/152 most of the variable fields are no longer recognised. Below is the list provided by the developer. I can only get FirstName LastName and PrimaryEmail to merge correctly I troubleshot with Custom1 JobTitle and Nickname to no avail. I've emailed the developer. I suspect Thunderbird has changed the names of the fields in updating the Address Book. Has anyone got a current list of variables for Thunderbird since the Address Book has been rebuilt? Thanks, Greg

This is Firefox on a brandnew Fedora installation. Using Jupyter notebooks on Google Colab, I experience delays when typing into input fields. It's not quite a deal-breaker, but annoyingly sluggish. On a Chromium-based browser, Vivaldi, I don't notice this problem.

My hope is there is a certain overlap of the demographics using Colab, Firefox and Fedora. I wonder if there is a known problem in this area? Is there a configuration settings you can suggest?

Thanks in advance!

Bernd.
