Every time I carry out a search (on Google or on DuckDuckGo), after I have my Google or DDG results I find a tab has been created with Britannica offering a result for the search. I never installed Britannica and I don't want it to appear - I want to remove Britannica from my system altogether. But I don't have a Britannica app in my Settings list of apps and I never intstalled it. It's like a virus. Can anybody help me to get rid of it?

Firefox not reopening tabs after shutdown

I went from Chrome to Firefox several months ago when I discovered that Firefox would automatically reopen all open tabs from previous session. I always put my pc in "sleep" mode at night. This morning it wouldn't "wake up" so I held the power button down until it shut down (Windows 11). Then I hit the power button and it started fine. I opened Firefox (Version 333.0) and all my tabs were gone. My wife uses Firefox on her Mac laptop and the same thing happened to her. She put her laptop to sleep last night and this morning all her tabs were gone.

After 3 hours of restoring my tabs, i went to settings and the option for Firefox to reopen all tabs from previous session was grayed out and clicking the circle next to it didn't do anything.

I am assuming this was caused by a Firefox update and am hoping someone has a fix for this. I'd hate to go back to Chrome, but I can't live with spending three hours of each day restoring tabs. I'd appreciate and be eternally grateful for any assistance and fix for this issue.

Thanks!

Why are these showing up now? They were never there before. Is there a way to hide them or make them disappear? They are ugly, distracting to look at and unnecessary. I tried one about:config solution, but it did not work. Please fix this. See screenshot. The black tacks should not be visible, but now they are.

I support clients who are globally dispersed and so want to have visibility of an alternative time zone in my calendar. This is something I had been able to do both in Gmail/Cal and in Outlook (both web and desktop); the screenshot here is from Outlook.

Is this possible in Thunderbird? I have looked in the settings, as well as the existing support/articles but haven't been able to find anything.

I'm getting junk mail that uses my wife name as the sender. My wife died a year ago and I do not like seeing her name being used this way. Basically, the email (fake billing) has: her name as the sender my email address real sender address (junk/spam name from gmail).

I need to have any email as she being the sender to automatically go to junk and trash.

Please, tell me how I can do this. I'm getting up there in years, so any help and a "how-to do it", I would really appreciate it very much.

I was not able to "see" any way within Thunderbird on how I can do it. BTW- the version of Thunderbird is: 128.9.1esr (64-bit) and my OS is Ubuntu 24.10

Thank you for your time.

With the default settings, it is impossible to open a window without the email tab open. How do I enable this to show just the calendar in its own window. In my workflow, I like to have one window open for my email and a separate window that I keep open with just the calendar. The tab bar is always open when the calendar is open and it's a waste of usable space. Is there a setting to fix this?
