I may have asked this before, When I launch Firefox, it opens the tab to the right of the active tab in the previous session. When I close a tab, it opens the tab to the right.

Am I wrong, or is that precisely the opposite of what you would expect or want?

Can someone please explain the logic of this? Is there anything that can be done about it?

I have this addon Select After Closing Current. Can I get some advice to set it up to work?

Also, why are there two product pages for it? link text

MacOS 26.0.1 Tahoe Firefox 143.0.4 (aarch64)

There is a white border around the webpage content in the browser (screenshot attached). This border exists even in troubleshooting mode, with all extensions disabled, regardless of toolbars or theme, etc. The only place it does not appear is the about: pages (screenshot attached). I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and updated MacOS. The issue disappears when I quit and reopen Firefox but reappears when I resize the window. Is there some obvious checkbox setting I'm missing? I cannot figure out what is causing this. Thanks for any help.

I have just installed Thunderbird on Windows 11 and it has two very annoying new habits. When I click on an email it opens it instead of giving me a preview. And when I move an email to another folder it also opens that folder. Neither happened on the old computer so how can I get back to the way it used to be?

My problem has escalated. Before, I wasn't able to fix the constant request for password on that account. Now, after deleting the account on my laptop, I can't even add it back. Error message says "incoming server already exists." I do have another email account with the same domain, but this is not a problem on my desktop computer, only on my laptop. (It used to work find on my laptop, too, but it stopped receiving emails on 8/20/)

Thunderbird 141.0 "Ghost Message" - deleted message in message list

I have a message that is still listed after being deleted. When I highlight the messages listed above it and below it, I can see their contents with no problem. However, when I click on the "ghost message" listing in between them, I will see the contents of the last message viewed, not the contents of the ghost message that is highlighted.

Also, when I first open Thunderbird and highlight that ghost message first, the review pane is blank, like there is no message there. Then if I click on a different message, that message's contents will show in the preview pane. Then when I go back and click on the the ghost message listing, that pane is still showing the previous message's contents.

When I click on "delete" message, I get the constant blue indicator light in the lower right glowing and nothing happens.

no messages fetched from imap server - "your message was sent, but a copy could not be placed in "Sent" folder" due to network or file access issues." SOLVED "ImapMail" folder's properties set to "read-only"

Hi, I recently set up TB with one imap account. All fine. I set up a Local Folder as well - mainly to store bulk of old mails.

Then after couple of days, when I sent a message, the system warned me: "your message was sent, but a copy could not be placed in "Sent" folder" due to network or file access issues. Place a copy in local folder instead?"

I recognized, that also, while my account/server seems to connect, no emails at all are fetched from the server actually.

I think there's a strange problem TB internally with ... file access? How to repair?

UPDATE : I checked my TB profile folder, and found the "ImapMail" folder's properties (Win10) showed "read-only". So I closed TB, removed the "read-only" from folder and contents, and restarted TB. But issue persisted. I went back to "ImapMail" folder in my profile - and found it marked "read-only" again. So seems TB itself set it to "read-only", it seems.

Thank you for your advice. Chris

PS:

  • Restart : nothing changed
  • run in safe mode: nothing chnaged
  • repaired folders: nothing chnaged

Over the past 3-4 weeks, everytime Windows pushes an update, it switches my default browser (Firefox) to Microsoft Edge.

I have spoken, at length, with Microsoft about why this is happening and how to prevent it. Ultimately, their final response is that Microsoft is going to switch my default browser to Edge with every update.

First, I´d like help to find a way to block this from happening without having to just stop all Windows updates.

Second, Years ago, Microsoft lost a lawsuit because of the monopoly when they forced everyone to use their Internet Explorer, but now, it seems that they´ve just decided to ignore that ruling. Can anyone tell me which EU organization I should file a complaint with?

Hi, I’m having trouble keeping my bookmarks in sync between my Windows laptop and Android phone using Firefox Sync.

I’m logged into the same Firefox account on both devices, and Sync is turned on. However, new bookmarks I add on one device don’t appear on the other.

I’ve already tried:

Signing out and back into my Firefox Account

Forcing a manual sync

Checking that both devices have the latest Firefox version

Is there a way to manually trigger a full re-sync or reset the Sync database without losing data? Thanks in advance! 🙏

I use the same e-mail address on my desktop and my Samsung android phone. I was told to change my desktop e-mail from POP3 to IMAP which I did and then told by the Thunderbird desktop forum to change also my phone settings from POP3 to IMAP. I was told in order to do that I needed to create a new account first and then delete the old account.

However, when I go into server settings and I put in my e-mail address from my desktop, it states "e-mail address already in use". Clearly I do not want to create a new e-mail address - just use the same e-mail address that is on my desktop so that I can access e-mails on my phone that appear on my desktop. Help please!

Hi,

I have noticed that quite often web sites are not opening the first time and FF reports broken connection. Refreshing or trying the second time helps - sites open very quickly.

What may be the problem?

I am using the most recent version on Windows 11 24H2. This behavior appeared about a week ago. I have reinstalled FF but it didn't improve anything.

Thanks!
