How do I stop sound notifications for incoming mail custom filtered as junk?

I have filters set up for certain words; these filters send the incoming message to the junk mailbox where I have them stay for a while. However, they send sound notifications when they come in; I'd rather not know that I'm getting these.

Thanks!

Twitter conversion to X. When trying to use Twitter (X) links it never seems to work for me on Firefox. When I switch over to Edge browser the link to X works fine. It always find my account from the Twitter link on Firefox, but always tells me I am locked out. Says something is not right but it's not my fault? Any thoughts?

a couple of months ago FF suddenly stopped reopening the last session and instead opens always the same from a specific date. performance has been poor to the point that I can barely browse FB anymore. cleaning temp files didn't help. what's the best way to go about it? is there a way to export the history before doing a refresh or new profile? thanks

I need Help! The image attached, it this coming from Firefox? It say's it is. If it is how do I turn it off? It's blocking me from accessing a Government site. Please! I need help to figure out how to shut this off!

I'm using Mac OS 11.7.10. Firefox desktop no longer allows me to browse the internet. It just keeps spinning wheels. I've downloaded the newest version and it still crashes. What can I do?

Unfortunately, because of regular issues with a web site, I was forced to use FireFox as my main web browser. I say "unfortunately", because FireFox takes FOREVER to load, especially compared to Safari. But, more importantly, there was something about Safari that I really liked; that I apparently cannot get with FireFox. But this is odd, since FireFox seems to have so many more user preferences than Safari! And yet there appears to be no way to open FireFox in fullscreen.

If Safari is in full screen, when browser is closed, Safari remembers this, the next time Safari is opened in full screen. With firefox, I always have to go through long start up, and then I have to manually click zoom button, to go full screen.

Is this something you never considered or something FireFox cannot do? Again, I guess I am surprised at how many preferences are available for FireFox, but nothing like this, even though this is a feature in a competing browser!

I am not sure, but, even if this is more of a Mac feature than a Safari feature, since I am using Mac version of FireFox, seems like FireFox could or should work the same way as Safari! But, if not, why not??

What ever happened to Firefox?? I try to search for something and 75% of the time I get error messages! Here is what I constantly get:

Secure Connection Failed

What is the problem? I have written about this before and NEVER get a response. Is it really time to just switch browsers? I have noticed when Firefox won't work Microsoft Edge and Chrome works just fine. What is the deal here?

When I returned to the coputer I was unable to continue working. I am very thankful for those who enable this computer to allow me to work. Thank you'. Miles

Lately (for several weeks) I have been having trouble printing web pages with bold headings (Not Headers... Headings) in their pages. For example - recipes. The bold text which is usually also a larger font, is either missing completely, or just a series of dots.

It looks just fine in the print preview (I am on a mac, running High Sierra 10.13.6) and the problem exists whether I use the webpage print dialog or my operating system dialog.

I have tried both of my available printers and it happens on both printers, so it isn't a problem with my printers (I thought it might just be my old HP P1505)

I have also tried saving the page as a pdf through my print system dialog - the text problem exists there as well. If I use Safari (I prefer Firefox, but if this is going to continue, then I'll have to go back) everything is fine. (see the attached image - Firefox on the left, Safari on the right)

So there seems to be something in Firefox that has recently stopped allowing these fonts to make their way through from the screen into the print system.

new Date(1743623960000).toLocaleString(['en-ES'])

outputs "4/2/2025, 7:59:20 PM" in normal firefox and "2/4/2025, 7:59:20 PM" in Firefox Developer. Test on MacOS and Ubuntu.

My bookmarks have been removed from the bookmarks toolbar. I'm not sure how this happened or how to restore them. In the attached screenshot, you can see the bookmarks and their folders still exist under "Bookmarks Toolbar", yet they're gone from the toolbar itself. I'm not sure what to do next?
