Using Tbird 78.14.0 (64 bit) with Windows 10. I can no longer access the Page Setup screen properly. I suspect it's because I accidentally put a very big value in for the top margin. The print preview for even a short email says it's many pages, there's no text visible on any of those pages, the only part of the Page Setup screen visible is OK and Cancel at the bottom, and I can't get to the top of the screen. I've tried closing and re-opening Tbird to no avail. How can I get to the top of the Page Setup screen to fix the problem?

This is sent as feedback only. The problem is happening on two different accounts (separate computers) of ours - again, since the last Thunderbird update. If it gets worse, I will try to re-install Thunderbird.

Hi there

How do I move the bookmarks toolbar to the TOP of the window (ie above the tabs row) please? I cannot find any info on this.

Thanks

If you add a proxy (manual) to firefox, you can also put in exemption for which domains the proxy should not be used. And from the examples that are shown, you might think it is also possible to add ip-address-range like 192.168.1.0/24. But this does not really work. Even when your servers are in the network 192.168.1.0/24, the proxy still we be used. It is only working if you add your domain e.g. .mydomain.local.

how do i permanently disable the tab preview on hover? after every update i have to go back in and reset it to 'false'... it's totally annoying and a hindrance to productivity due to the distraction... any help with this would be most welcome, thanks in advance -

HI,

For many years I have used Firefox as my browser, and I have also used the Bank of America online banking service. Until yesterday, there were no problems with this pairing.

Yesterday, I was able to log on to my B of A account, but I ran into trouble when I attempted to go from their home page to their bill paying service. I was unable to continue and received this message:

"Why can't I access Bill Pay? You might have cookies blocked or cross-site tracking prevented. Depending on what browser you're using, check your settings for these terms. *Block third party cookies. *Cookie tracking. *Cross-site tracking. Make sure cookies are not blocked and cross-site tracking in enabled. Follow any additional instructions in your browser once you have adjusted these settings."

I have been able to verify that a Firefox update was successfully installed on October 3, 2024 at 12:48:08 PM. The update numbers are 131.0 (20240923135042).

Because of the timing, I suspect that this latest update somehow impacted my Bank of America online account.

I do not know how to proceed to accomplish the required modifications that would enable me to continue using all of the features on my B of A account.

Can you help?

Hi everyone,

Im doing a clean install and i dont want Thunderbird to sync and download some emails.

What im trying to achieve is to download every email to use offline and be in sync with the Gmail account but only the most recent ones. And i did this:

Inbox: So far in Gmail i moved alot of emails from the Inbox to another folder. How can i disable that folder to sync in Thunderbird? Because as soon as i log in, every folder starts to sync and download automatically.

Outbox: I did some research and its seems that is not possible to move emails from outbox to another folder. Is there any way that i can only download emails only after specific date?

When using google workspace apps (docs, slides, sheets, etc.) I am unable to use the menus to cut, copy, and paste. Instead, I am forced to use the key binds, which are super annoying and less convenient than opening a menu and pasting quickly with my mouse. Past articles from Reddit and one on the support site claim that having "dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled" set to true makes it work, but it does nothing and I still cannot paste using the menus.

I am confused by Local Folders and have never deliberately used them.

Due to a problem with sending outlook emails I have removed all the accounts and reinstalled Thunderbird but first in the list is Local Folders - which maybe preventing me seeing all in boxes unified - so how do I get rid of the Local Folders accounts or atleast make it the last in my long list of email accounts?

Some help regarding sending from Outlook.com accounts willl also be welcome - but I seem to have a Microsoft problem as Hotmail emails are being sent without problems.

I am not IT competent.

So I'm trying to apply a configuration profile in Microsoft Intune that enforces managed policies for Firefox. I have 40 different OMA-URI settings configured for it, 39 of which apply and report as "Succeeded". I can verify that these are working on a test device.

The problematic setting that is not applying to the test device is "ManagedBookmarks". It is reporting with an Error.

Here is the setting for the particular policy:

• Name: ManagedBookmarks
• Description: Adds bookmarks into a managed folder.
• OMA-URI: ./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/Firefox~Policy~firefox/ManagedBookmarks
• Data type: String
• Value:

<enabled/> <data id="JSON" value=' [

 {
   "toplevel_name": "Bookmark Folder"
 },
 {
   "url": "https://www.ticketsoftware.com",
   "name": "Ticketing"
 },
 {
   "url": "https://www.paymentsoftware.com",
   "name": "Payment"
 },
 {
   "url": "https://portal.office.com",
   "name": "Microsoft Office"
 }

]'/>

I have anonymized a couple of the above bookmarks for privacy. I will note, I have also tried to nest the bookmark items as child items under the toplevel_name (with the correct JSON formatting of course). This also failed to deploy the policy.

Am I missing something here? I am trying to follow the documentation at https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/blob/v6.3/docs/index.md#managedbookmarks to a T, but it still fails. Everything else works though!

Hi, When I get a new email, the sound plays (correctly) and a notification popup appears on my Windows 11 desktop. Unfortunately, the same notification appears over and over.

It seems like it won't go past that email until I read it. I'm expecting the popup to relate to the very latest email that is arriving.

In settings, I have checked Show an alert, Use the system notification, show a tray icon for unread messages. In customize, I have all 3 fields checked with a 4 second timeframe.

I am using 128.3.0esr (64 bit) with nebula

Can this be resolved? If so, please enlighten me.

Thanks in advance! Don Sceifers

Hi community,

I want to configure a guest account on a ubuntu system. This is done by configuring a standard account and link the guest account to the standard account.

For firefox that means, that the .mozilla directory of the guest account points to the .mozilla-directory of the standard account. (The files in the standard account are not changes, so every new guest session starts with the same preconfigured environment.)

When starting firefox in the guest session, most of the settings, e.g. homepage, installed language packs, coockie settings, are recognized. Strange enough, the language packs have to be enabled again. Somehow firefox in the guest session realizes that firefox is run the first time in the newly created guest account. In my use case, firefox starts up in English because the German language pack is disabled. In the configured standard account the language packs are enabled, active, etc..

With thunderbird the behaviour is different: Copying the .thunderbird (or appdata/roaming/thunderbird-folder in Windows) leads to a completely configured thunderbird. No "first run"-questions or -settings have to be answered.

My questions are: 1) How does firefox realize that is has a "first run" situation? Why is copying the .mozilla-folder not enough for transfering the profile(s)? How can firefox be configured to use the existing .mozilla-directory without asking first run questions? 2) How can firefox in a first run situation (with complete profiles and correct profile.ini) be started with e.g. an enabled German language pack.

Thanks a lot

Martin

Hello,

I recently reinstalled Windows on my PC and had to upgrade Thunderbird to 128.3.0esr. Now, when I open an event from the Calendar, it opens in a tiny window with an Edit button. When I click on the Edit button, it opens the event in a slightly larger window that has to be manually resized in order to properly edit the description and other details. There is no standard "Maximize" icon on this Event window. In older versions, the Event simply opened as a new tab in the main UI, which was vastly more efficient and user friendly. Is there any way to reenable this functionality? The current functionality is a bit frustrating.

Thank you.

Hello,

I am running Thunderbird 128.3.0esr on Windows 11 as POP on gmail and having issues with junk mail. Items are being moved into the junk folder despite identifying them as not junk. I go into the junk folder, identify them as not junk, they move to inbox, and at some point Thunderbird moves them from inbox to junk. Nothing I do seems to prevent this from happening.

I decided to turn off junk detection. Attached are screen shots. However, the problem still occurs. Mail in my inbox move to junk without me doing anything.

Help!

Thanks, Art

I have loved FF desktop browser since I started using it per my boss in 2003. But I am so tired of the fact that EVERY SINGLE TIME you put out an update it breaks my access to the bank. EVERY SINGLE TIME. I waste HOURS reading articles, calling the bank IT dept, chatting with people who are on 3 calls at once, only to hear them tell me to "just use chrome." I clear the cookies, clear the cache, reboot, follow all the prompts in the settings and THEN the damned bank server doesn't recognize the device so it forces yet ANOTHER password change. It happened again TODAY and it makes me so sad but I cannot do it anymore. I am STILL now (going on 4 hours) trying to access the billpay page @ Xantanderbank. (ahem, secure codename) I am forced now, by this craziness, to use the imbecilic duckduckgo which is A) and offensive name and b) you KNOW it nowhere near the product you have built but I CANNOT DO THIS ANYMORE. Thank you for the time it takes to read this diatribe. I appreciate it.
