Online purchases only work on about 50% of the websites I buy on. The most recent one was buying a gift card from Whole Foods. This is becoming so ANNOYING; before I finally switch to another browser, does anyone know how to fix this?

Hello,

I use Thunderbird 128.5.2esr with xubuntu 24.04.

All of a sudden (I haven't changed anything) thunderbird hangs completely after a few minutes running. The process does not react at all, I have to kill it. Thunderbird process is then stuck on 100% load.

Already testet (with no success):

  • Troubleshooting Mode with deactivated Addons
  • Disabled Global Indexing (with deleting global-messages-db.sqlite file)
  • Waiting for 20min (in case thread/process is running a long time)
  • Reboot OS

I have no idea what the issue is. Does anyone have ideas? Thx, Hugo

I turned on my PC after a long time, and it seems something about firefox has changed in the way I don't like. The logo to the extreme left of the address bar which shows "This time search with" options on left-click is annoying to the eye. Picture attached below. Is there anyway you can remove/disable that logo with about://config or anything else.

Using latest version of Firefox on linux.

Hi I have several mails with in my Thunderbird. For one of them I have unchecked all the server settings: "Check for new messages at startup" "Check for new messages every ..." "Allow immediate notifications..."

Thunderbird still keeps asking me for a pw at start and now and then. If possible I would prefer not to delete the account, but just have it as passive, so I can still find old mails there.

New mails from this old account, if any, are forwarded to another of my mails (another domain name), and then I move them manually down there, so it is easier to find. This was something my mail-provider arranged, so I should not pay 2x hosting for both domains. Alternative I can transfer the mails from the old account to a sub-folder with my active mail, but for organizational ease, is there a way I can keep a mail account as "passive" in Thunderbird, that is no check for new emails on this account and no ask for pw, since it is not really active anymore.

Today I cannot get the certificate popup to appear. which is fine I know where the certificates are managed but I have not a clue how to add a certificate OR what information to enter into the "Add security exception" dialogue box

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I keep getting a message on screen saying "page refuses to load"; I don't know if it's a problem with the search engine or the browser (I have been using DuckDuckGo as my search engine recently). I haven't used Firefox for years now, and have never used it on my own device so I'm still getting to know it.

Hi there,

Is it possible to add Dictionary.com to the Search bar so words entered there are searched at that site?

Previous versions of FF allowed me to map that site to that field.

Right now it's doing a google search for words.

Thanks.
