I would like help removing one of the folders called drafts as it is empty and uses the other for subfolders. I have tried right clicking but it has no effect on removing it. Only the draft folder where the subfolders are located can be removed. How do I remove the extra draft folder. Thanks in advance for your help.

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?

Can the notification for upgrading be controlled on ver 143 on linux. It keeps appearing and as a user I should be able to silience or have it notify me at a period I prefer instead of interrupting browsing.

Yesterday I upgraded my PC from Windows 10 to 11. Today I discovered my Local Folders are not visible. Searching tells me the messages still exist, but TB does not show the folders. I did the same upgrade a month ago on a laptop (Windows 10 Pro to 11), no problems. I didn't externally back up the messages as I am a dinosaur and don't know how, but at least they are still on the hard drive. Thousands of them though so I need the local folders back. Tried all the fixes I can find on the Community Forum, without success. Can anyone help please? Bob

Using version 143 PIP does not work on different workspaces. If I open PIP the PIP only remains on the desktop that FF is on and the PIP disappears on othe workspaces.

thunderbird won't start after installation giving message that a version is already running. I end the task in task manager and it doesn't help, then restart with same erro. I tried deleting the parent.lock file from the profile and that didn't help. What next? Has anyone solved this issue?

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.

I believe the only option to view attachments is to scroll until the end of the email. This is inconvenient for emails with many replies and forwards as they become very long. In addition, the implicit Gmail indentation, makes the scroll length extremely long (email is eventually displayed one character per line). I have one email that I need to scroll hundreds of screens so I can view the attachments. See attached image with the email contents and scroll bar.

It would help to have a button to scroll to the end or ignore indentation. Both options would be helpful as scrolling to the end allows downloading the attachments and reading the initial email.

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.

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.

Bonjour en voulant aller sur un site connu et auxquels je vais j'ai eut ce message je n'ai rien modifié sur mon ordi d’où cela viens t-il et surtout comment y remédier. Merci "Pourquoi ce blocage ? Quelque chose dans le comportement du navigateur nous a intrigué.

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.

Where is the issue tracker for Firefox Nightly on Android? The last few updates have caused the keyboard to block the bottom part of webpages, making it impossible for me to see what I'm typing.

When trying to add my outlook.com email account to Thunderbird 143.0.1, using the instructions at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-exchange, I get an "Exchange auth error." I'm able to add the account manually using imap, but I want to use Exchange so I can access my outlook.com calendar and contact when TB is updated to include them.

Search setting is set to All for search server limit. However search doesn't work. Nothing is returned. I click search messages on server and nothing comes back. When i look up the same search criteria in Gmail i get email back. Why is search not working properly for me?
