Upgraded from `102.15.1` (deb) to `140.9.1esr` (flatpak).

Now for all my Imap folders the default action (double-click) is `Edit Draft` instead of `Open`. This is confirmed by right-clicking and having `Edit Draft Message` in bold at the top of the list.

How can I fix it?

- imported old profile with `⁝` -> `Tools` -> `Import`

- found https://support.mozilla.org/gl/questions/1364428 and tried the addon it recommended but none of the imap folders were flagged as draft.

There must be a way to turn off this popup off. This is REALLY annoying when it covers a password box and to remove it i must click outside it and I lose focus on the password box. If you must put he box there then at least leave the first part of the password box clear so I cab click on it and not have to click again to get the focus back.

I am running Linux Mint and Thunderbird 140.9.0esr (64-bit). When I try to setup my Comcast email account I get errors and the program basically stops. For example "can't access property "cleanup", this [#configVerifier] is undefined". When I allow Thunderbird to do the initial search and follow its recommendation I get this error: Error creating account Incoming server already exists

I have Tbird running on two other computers THAT HAVE BEEN TURNED OFF. I noted that if I tried setting up Tbird on my newest Mint installation, i.e., Tbird running on my Windows machine, it would also fail to make the account.

I am at a loss as to what is going on. Any ideas???

I often hit ^T (control-T) in firefox without meaning to, because I use that chord in other applications a lot. In firefox it opens a new tab, which is almost never what I want. I'd like to suppress that keyboard shortcut. I tried doing it using vimium (unmap <c-t>) but that has no effect.

Thank you, Silvio

I have CentOS Stream release 8 on my laptop and desktop, with firefox-115.11.0-1.el8.x86_64

If I connect to some sites, such as signin.costco.com, www.tesla.com/modely, www.airindia.com, www.meijer.com, I get errors such as You don't have permission to access "http://www.tesla.com/modely" on this server. Reference #18.71951eb8.1774502305.1a7c7680 https://errors.edgesuite.net/18.71951eb8.1774502305.1a7c7680 You don't have permission to access "http://www.airindia.com/" on this server.

The error appears invariant of my IP address (different IPv4 addresses after rebooting my router, or an IPv6 address via a proxy). I have Firefox 60.7.2esr and 78.5.0esr on an older machine. Those sometimes work to some of these sites, but don't support all the site functionality, e.g. I can't actually login to Costco. www.tesla.com/modely works in 78.5.0esr. The Firefox on my Android tablet works for tesla; I haven't checked all the other sites. In conversation with my ISP (Starlink) customer service AI, I have tried deleting cookies and disabling plugins (only H264 and Widevine) with no effect. It suggests there is a problem with Akamai fingerprinting the browser.

I get edgesuite errors using Lynx or elinkx or curl also

Hello, when I am using a login form, it sometimes suggests an email I can use, but I do not want this behavior in case I am sharing my screen. And some of the emails that are suggested are also not mine to begin with, so I simply do not want Firefox suggesting it to me.

I would like to disable this feature altogether, but I have looked online, searched the settings, and yet I found no way of disabling this. I even confirmed that my Firefox Passwords doesn't have any entries, so I don't understand where it is getting these emails from. I would like help with disabling these suggested emails.

Before the last update I could enter a search term into the search field, and it opened immediately a box offering the different search engines that I have installed. Just one click on one of them and my search got started (or simply <return> for using the default engine) But now I enter a search term but my search engines are not offered anymore. I have to click the symbol of the current engine to the left of the field and there chose the desired engine. But with this the earch doesn't start yet. It's still necessary to click the "Go"-arrow or press return.

So it got more complicated.

Is there a way to get the old method back?

Thanky you in advance

Recently I started having this issue. Whenever I send a tab from my phone into my computer, instead of a new tab opening in whatever window I was last using, a new private window opens and then loads the tab. At first I was only transferring one or two tabs so I didn't really care at the time, copy and paste the tabs into the old window. But when I need to transfer 10+ tabs? how aobut 40? Now it's an issue since you can't just move them. The tabs in my phone are normal too, not private. I have, of course, found no normal setting in either the desktop or android version of Firefox to control this behavior.

Hello, I am using Linux Mint on a desktop with the latest version of Firefox. Two weeks ago I could login to the Discover website with no problems. Suddenly I can not log in, but get an error message that something is wrong and I can't login. I can login using Chrome on this machine. My wife gets the same message when she tried to login to her account on my computer. After several discussions with Discover, all I get is "it is not our problem."

I am having no problems logging into other accounts with Firefox on this computer.

I have not explicitly changed anything on the browser or computer. I have done some updates which included Firefox. I can login on a different Linux computer using an older version of Firefox. Of course the updates were also to the computer and I will ask the same question to the Linux forum.

I really like Firefox and would hate to have to change to Chrome.

Thanks so much for your help.

I've been using alt+a to open new tabs in a multi account container for a long time. Recently that shortcut stopped working possibly with the update to v148 as indicated in this reddit thread.

alt+a is not listed as a shortcut in about:keyboard or in about:addons > manage extension shortcuts or in my ubuntu shortcuts nor in any software I can think of thats running. I've disabled all add-ons except multi account containers and it still does not work. Changing the shortcut to another works fine.

Why would just that shortcut stop working? What else can I do to diagnose the problem?
