THE ISSUE: When opening Firefox, (Attachment #1 - below) appears. Seems to have nothing to do with any reality . . . as when I check in SETTINGS (Attachment #2 - below). 1. So, who's telling the truth? 2. How do I stop the popup (Attachment #1) from making it's nagging, inaccurate appearance?
Thank you / Nels

For as far back as I can remember I've been using Mozilla Thunderbird on a old computer running Windows 7. I've a Win10 machine here so a few months ago, I downloaded the latest Thunderbird and I was suprised to see it looked very different. After a bit of experimenting I managed to get it looking familiar so I uninstalled it with the intention of trying it again early in 2026 when I've a bit more free time, So this morning I installed the latest version but it looks even more different now :-(
I'm not sure how to attach images here but if it works, the original one looked like Capture01 and this morning's one is like Capture02. I still had my installer from a few months ago so I installed that one and it looks the same as today's one. Notice that there's no menu bar any more and AFAICT I can only view email headers and not their contents. Also, the 3 boxes at the top RHS (for sizing the window / minimizing it etc) don't work at all.
Is it me doing something wrong - or are there maybe some settings somewhere that I need to experiment with?

There is plenty of disk space, but there is no option for "write privileges". The trash folder has grown to 632 MgB even though I keep deleting old messages from the trash folder!

Recently I have noticed some changes in the way my Thunderbird downloads POP3 messages. Previously, it would be common to ask for new messages once a day and receive upwards of one hundred of them. But in the last month, this number has been limited to about 35 at a time. If I ask immediately again, I get about 35 more, and this pattern continues as long as there are messages in queue waiting to be downloaded. I am not sure if this is due to changes in gmail, where most of my received messages originate, or to changes in Thunderbird itself, or to some sort of third-party hack. Now that I have trained myself to keep on asking until there are no more messages coming down, this change does not cause me much difficulty, although initially it sometimes caused me to overlook messages because I failed to keep asking as long as I should have. Apart from that, it does not seem to be harmful as far as I can tell. I'd just like to know if other people have noticed anything similar, and if anyone knows what is causing it, and whether it has some hidden advantages over the way things used to work.

Changing color of the text during composing an email does not work when I use "Choose a color" button. The color in the button changes, but when I click "Ok" the color does not change. The color change works though if: I click "Last-picked color", or when I type color name "Green" or HTML hex, and subsequently click "OK".
How to change the color of text in a composed email when
I am using Thuderbird on macOS.
When trying to run in Safe Mode, and compose a new message, I the Thunderbird stucks, so I cannot confirm in Safe Mode, but I had this issue in the past also on other machines/Thunderbird instances, so maybe someone else had a similar problem, or maybe it is a known issue, already in dev team logs.

I’m running Thunderbird 147.0.1 (64-bit) on both my desktop and laptop, both using Windows 11 Version 25H2 (Build 26200.7705). I’m trying to highlight sent (outgoing) messages where the correspondent and recipient are different (i.e., not sending to myself). When this condition is met, I want the subject line to appear green. My logic is: • Match outgoing mail where the correspondent column contains one of my addresses • Exclude rows where the recipient column also contains one of my addresses • Apply formatting only to the subject column tr:has(
td.correspondentcol-column[title*="@pm.me"], td.correspondentcol-column[title*="@protonmail.com"], td.correspondentcol-column[title*="@passinbox.com"]
):not(
:has(td.recipientcol-column[title*="@pm.me"]), :has(td.recipientcol-column[title*="@protonmail.com"]), :has(td.recipientcol-column[title*="@passinbox.com"])
) td.subjectcol-column {
color: var(--tb-green) !important; font-weight: 600 !important; background-color: #e8f5e9 !important;
} Same Thunderbird version, same Windows build, same CSS file, same mail account structure. Is there something on the desktop system that could prevent this from working? For example: • about:config setting related to CSS • Layout or column differences affecting selectors • Rendering engine differences between installations • UI density / table layout mode differences My expectation is that this logic should behave identically on both systems, so I suspect a configuration or UI state difference. Any guidance would be appreciated.

I have lost all bookmarks on a new laptop. Recently added C Cleaner and did a scan. That may have caused the problem. But, now I cannot recover the bookmarks, nor can I save new bookmarks. The version of Firefox on my android phone has the bookmarks. I can see them. But, I do not see a way to sync the devices and import the data to my laptop.
Please advise.

I have a strange problem when searching for stuff on the internet. (Using google if it matters)
First search I type something like cars. I press enter. I get cars.
Second search I type black cars. I press enter. I get cars again and in the search result it shows i searched cars.
I type black cars again. I press enter. I get black cars, search finally says I searched black cars.
I refresh. I get cars again and the search shows I only searched cars.
Every time I wanna search something I need to open up a new tab or I run into this issue and it's driving me insane.
I have no idea where to even start with troubleshooting this problem, it's so strange.

While I like to have shortcuts for sites that I visit frequently (Amazon, eBay, bank, etc.), I don't like the fact that a recently visited site shows up among the four rows of my shortcuts every time I log in and go to my shortcuts. (My computer defaults to these shortcuts when I open up Firefox). Something new that wasn't previously there. I'm like, "okay, that's not something that I put there myself". Something that I didn't SAVE as a shortcut myself. It wasn't like this on my old computer. I had just the frequent sites that I WANTED to show on my shortcuts, not a new icon for a site I've visited recently. I unchecked the "Shortcuts" box in settings and sure enough, ALL my shortcuts disappeared. Had to recheck the box.
Am I missing something here? Why can't I have only the shortcuts that I want on those four rows and not have an icon for a recently visited site just add itself to my shortcuts? Just because I visit any particular site (whether one of my shortcuts or not) doesn't necessarily mean that once I leave that site, that I want it to show up in my shortcuts with a slightly different looking icon from my regular shortcuts, basically duplicating what I already have, but needlessly adding something that I didn't ask to save? For example, if I open up Yahoo to check mail, despite already having a shortcut with the Yahoo icon, the next time that I turn on my computer, I'll have a slightly different Yahoo icon that might now show "log in", as well. Ditto with other shortcut icons.
I hope all this makes sense. Can anyone explain to me how to fix this? Any help would be much appreciated.

Facebook videos in Firefox stop playing when clicking the Windows 11 Start button or opening Solitaire (after recent update)
This issue has just started after a Windows 11 update and restart. It has never happened before. I usually watch Facebook Reels while playing Solitaire at the same time — yes, I know, I don’t have a life.
This morning, after the update and restart, I opened Facebook and started watching a Reel as normal. As soon as I clicked the Windows Start button to open the list of programs, the video stopped. I then selected Solitaire, which opened to the taskbar. I restarted the video, clicked Solitaire to open the game fully, and the video stopped again. As soon as I minimize Solitaire, the video resumes playing.
I’ve tried all the suggestions I could find via Google, but nothing has worked so far. Note that this only affects videos playing directly on Facebook — videos playing in the Windows Media Player Legacy video player itself are not affected.
Any help would be greatly appreciated… and yes, as mentioned, I clearly don’t have a life 😅 Link to video showing what happens when I select Solitaire in the Taskbar. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oKLIl3I4f9lfTZvbU-9pJ1gMbOU7h0zm/view?usp=sharing
Regards everyone.
More info... I run two monitors and it seem if I click on whatever I have open in the second monitor the FB video stops. So something has changed after I turned my computer on this morning and updated Windows. I even did a System Restore to a setting two days before this new update and nothing changed still have the problem.

Hi, I tried to drag and move a tab (worked everytime till now). After I tried to move it toolbar freezed (The image is what I mean by toolbar). Url bar, forward, backward, refresh and 3 lines for settings doesnt work. Only things that works is downloads and side bar. I can also click on tabs and they will open, but moving them wont work. Drag and move options is True.
When I try to quit and reopen firefox, everything works fine until I try to move a tab again. I tried editing the tool bar and default toolbar settings, that wont work either.

I have been using 1Password 7 to manage my login credentials. It includes a Firefox extension to fill in account names and passwords in login alerts and pages.
Firefox 147.0.1 (macOS aarch64) in January 2026 has broken 1Password 7's ability to fill in account names and passwords.
To reproduce: 1. Install 1Password 7 Version 7.9.11 (70911000) and its extension version 4.7.5.90 in Firefox 147.0.1 on macOS. 2. Visit a URL for which 1Password 7 has login credentials. 3. Click on the toolbar icon for 1Password 7. A 1Password 7 dialogue box pops down from the icon, containing the username and password for that URL. 4. Click the Autofill button in that dialogue box.
Observed behaviour: 1. Username and Password fields remain blank.
Expected behaviour: 1. Username and Password from 1Password 7 appear in the Username and Password fields.
For approximately the last three months, there was a partial failure similar to this. 1. 1Password 7 popdown dialogue moves from the toolbar icon to the Firefox tab for that URL. 2. Username and Password fields remain blank. 3. Workaround: click in the username field, then tab 2-4 times to further UI objects in the login credentials form. Then click the 1Password toolbar icon, then click the Autofill button in the popdown dialogue. Then, the Username and Password from 1Password 7 appear in the Username and Password fields.
The expected behaviour occurs for the same URLs in Safari.
Thus I suspect that Firefox has somehow changed its behaviour in the last few months to cause this regression. I have not changed the 1Password software versions in this time, because I am intentionally using a previous version of 1Password.
I am looking for a fix or workaround which works with my current 1Password software version. I am not interested in a solution which requires me to upgrade to the current version of 1Password. (The current version of 1Password imposes a feature which I am resisting.) I realise that this reduces the chance that I can persuade the Firefox team to find and correct this regression.

Youtube has two settings that must be turned on for captions to show and start automatically when watching a video. "Always Show Captions" and "Auto Play Captions" and not be forced to be signed in to YT. Both settings must be checked off/turned on for captions to work and "set" in the cookies, for captions to work when not signed into YT.
Previously, one could sign in to YT, re-select the settings, refresh browser and then sign out and the captions would work when signed out and viewing YT content.
Since your update today, YT's "auto play captions" option is now missing when using Firefox, but not when using chrome, meaning when using Firefox, it can't be selected while using that browser. The result is that persons who choose to use Firefox instead and don't want to be signed in to youtube, not wanting our information followed in a non anonymous manner, can't use firefox to watch YT and still have captions working without having to constantly turn them on for every single video watched (that's where "auto play captions" came in).
Bad, bad move. On both mozilla's part and YT's.

Hello, I use Windows 11 on my PC in France. I lost all my Firefox bookmarks and browsing history some time ago. When I try to use Firefox I get the message : Firefox is not operational because one of the Firefox files is being used by another application. I have tried to get an explanation on firefox.fr but to no avail, their support page is far too complex. I can still browse with Frefox but no bookmarks, so it defeats the purpose... Please help if you can as I now have to resort to Google Chrome, wich is not as versatile and I would really like to be able to use Firefox again. Thanks. Raymond
