Well, I am in a real mess. Three days ago I lost the ability to access my favourite website. I CAN access the website in the Brave browser. The website owner has told me that it is not a problem with my account with them so it must be a Firefox issue. Before this happened I had been trying to move and delete files on my laptop and have got very confused about EVERYTHING. In that I had deleted my Firefox recovery folder(s). I have managed to move them back into my Home folder before they expire. Now I am being asked to enter my "password" to initiate the restore. But the several Firefox passwords in my laptop are not being accepted. How can I get a new password? If that is not possible do I have to delete my Firefox account? What is my best way to recover from this mess? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure how long this has been happening (maybe at least a month), but my browsing history isn't syncing properly between my desktop and phone. Previously, my desktop history was syncing to my phone, but not vice-versa. Bookmarks, passwords and tabs are syncing perfectly fine. I've tried enabling/disabling sync settings and signing out and in again and now my phone history is syncing to my desktop, but my desktop history has stopped syncing to my phone. While having the full browsing history on my desktop is preferable, it would be ideal for it to show up on both my desktop and phone.

Any text selected in Firefox for Android on a Samsung Tablet has the "Ask Gemini" option with no way to turn it off.

This only appears on Firefox, does not happen on the same tablet in DuckDuckGo, Google Play Store, Fossify Notes App, Wikipeida app. Only in Firefox on Samsung. (Does not appear on Firefox on Sony phone).

Gemini is not installed on the Samsung Tablet, and ALL of the possible AI settings, assistants and apps are disabled, turned off or opted out of in both the Samaung Settings, the Google Account, the Mozzilla Account and the Firefox browser settings. There is no active assistant running on the device and Gemini is not even an installed app.

As this is ONLY ever appearing in Firefox for Android on the tablet and absolutely no other apps without Gemini even being installed and actively being blocked from running makes me think this is a bug specific to Firefox.

Screenshots included as this shows it the different apps listed and that this menu is different per app as some have their own context items, which again supports this being a potential bug specific to Firefox.

How can this be sucessfully reported, removed, turned off or customised to stop the accidental activation of an AI Assistant from Firefox when selecting text? (Either as text already on a page or text that has been typed into a form or doc via the web.)

I have noticed several automatic updates in the last several days.

Yesterday, I started my Lenovo laptop and clicked on Firefox to start my business day. Clicked on the icon. Nothing opened on my screen. Each time I clicked, a thumbnail would open (see attached image).

I can right click on the icon. I tried open a new window. Nothing. I tried open private browser. Icon opened, I can see thumbnail, but it did not open either.

I tried to download new Firefox. Same. I tried to delete Firefox from Installed Apps in settings. Then I was asked if I wanted to Refresh Firefox instead of deleting. It saved my Firefox files. Thank you. I followed the steps. Firefox worked throughout the day.

This morning I tried to open Firefox...nothing except thumbnails like in the photo.

Photo has version date for Firefox. Dated yesterday 9.9.2026.

Appreciate your help.

All I have access to is right click on Firefox icon in my tray. I cannot see any settings.

Poor translation and setup

The browser recognizes Russian on the website as English and automatically translates it into "Russian," but what it actually produces is a jumble of letters that are neither Russian nor English. Essentially, the browser is translating from Russian—which I don't need to translate, since I'm from Russia—into an incomprehensible, non-existent language. And I can't turn off automatic translation of Russian because it's not available. There's a toggle switch: "Never translate English," but that doesn't work for Russian. You can click "Never translate this site" on the website itself, but the problem is that it's for a single website. It means I have to turn off translation and reload the website every time I visit a Russian-language website. This is very inconvenient. I ask you to add an option to disable translation of an entire language, not just English or a specific website.

This device is essentially a thumb drive made by MOPAR that contains automotive serve diagrams for a Jeep Wrangler. When you boot this device with Firefox being the primary browser you get garbage instead of schematic drawings. If I make Edge the primary browser the card boots properly and runs. This a legally obtained card with no password system on board.

I have three AOL accounts for various reasons. Until recently, all three were available and working in Thunderbird - no issues. A few days ago on start-up, I had a pop-up requesting indicating that my password for one of these accounts had not been recognised in Thunderbird. The account was working fine on another device, ipad. Re-entering the password didn't give me access to the account, and in desperation I deleted the account from Thunderbird. I then tried to re-create it, but although Thunderbird shows all the correct(?) details in the account settings, it actually just gets all the ...box contents from another of my accounts. Does anyone have any ideas how Thunderbird references existing account when add a new mail account, or how to stop Thunderbird referencing an existing account please?

Email filter problem after update

I'm new to the community and don't really know how things work, so maybe this is the wrong place for this. I had a seemingly catastrophic problem after updating yesterday. All of the emails sitting in my inbox disappeared, and were gone from the yahoo server as well. Long story short, I figured out what happened. In my filter rules I sometimes had a blank entry at the end of the list. Previously that had been ignored, but after the update it is now treated as a match. So the first filter that had a blank in it caused everything in my inbox to be moved to a certain folder in my Local Folders. Obviously, it would be legitimate to not allow blank entries in the filters, but once you've allowed it, you really shouldn't make a change. In the end the solution was simple, but it wasted a fair portion of my day figuring it out.

For the past few weeks, I have been having problems playing certain Facebook videos. It seems to only happen when I try to play a video that was recorded live. I have tried clearing the cache, I've tried a private window, and I've tried safe mode. I still can't get the video to play. However, when I copy and paste the url to Safari, it works fine. I have been able to play "live" videos while they are actually "live"; it's just that they will not load when I try to play them later. I don't have any problems playing videos which have been uploaded to Facebook; only those which were recorded live. The videos just show a circle in the middle as if they are trying to load but nothing else happens. The length of the video does not matter; it happens with short videos as well as long ones. The screenshot image (of a random "live" video I found) I am uploading shows a partial black circle in the center, which is a spinning circle in realtime. I have circled it in red.

Hello

I use Thunderbird (153.2 0esr) on a win 11 PC.

I have some POP email accounts with btinternet which work.

I want to change. them to IMAP accounts using the same email addresses.

Before I do this I have several minor problems within Thunderbird, which I would like to sort out before copying the Thunderbird files as a backup.

Rather than list them all, it's possible that fixing the first may solve others.

When I open Thunderbird I see this message... see FIRSTCalendar if it hasn't been inserted into the text

I have never (knowingly) used BT's calendar. Clicking cancel removes the report and does not stop any of the BT mail accounts working.

I tried using the username and password of the default account but password of the default account without success. At a later stage this appears...

See SECONDcontacts if not inserted here

The address displayed is one that I have deleted from my BT Email account.

It is no longer shown as one of my BT accounts in the email management page in MYBT or in Thunderbird

Again, clicking Cancel does not stop my BT email accounts working.

Any suggestions how to fix this, would be welcome.

Cheers

Dave

hi, in the last few days i have been having issues receiving emails from btinternet.com but only to my inbox (other folders are updating) i am getting the error message The current operation on 'Inbox' did not succeed. The mail server for account username@btinternet.com responded: EXPUNGE failed. i have removed the account and re-set it up, i have made sure expunge on exit is disabled, repair does nothing on the inbox, nor does compact etc. i have run out of ideas hy this is happening, so i downloaded bluemail, to see if the problem came from thunderbird itself. it is working fine on there and immediately updated all my mails. with no issues. i have tried deleting the folder 'username'@btinternet.com and the msf files. i need help to figure out why this is happening. i checked the IMAP settings and its all correct and the same as in bluemail. also worth noting i can SEND emails no problem too from that account, just not receive them... i have tried to add as many relevent screenshots as i can think of.

I made a change somewhere that caused a total loss of history/open tabs even in my tab manager extension. I can't remember exactly what it was I changed but nothing I have searched here has been helpful in recovering from this. I did not want to bring my profile from home as I am using Firefox here in a work environment. Can someone point me to or explain a step by step method to be able to do this? Nothing I found in searching here has been positive.

Hello Due to a massive cluster**k this morning, I changed my password by accident I think I've now got everything working again, except that Thunderbird cannot sign in to my Google Account What I don't understand is that I have a password with normal and special characters and numbers, but the Oauth2 password is very different of course How do I know what to change my Oauth2 password too? Or perhaps the question should be how do I now generate a new one that goes with my new "normal" password Thanks in advance for any help

I've been relying on backup/recovery from backup because firefox now deletes my profile/session every time it does a meaningful update (several times a month).

Now, one stupid/broken thing is that I have to re-enable backup every time I restore my profile/session (this setting, backup ON, should be included in the profile/session!).

The second broken thing is that now I can't re-enable backup today, after yesterday's update.

I can fakely turn backup ON, but when I click "backup now", I always get "Hmm, there was a problem backing up. Learn more"

Learn more has no useful information. Waiting a few minutes, like it suggests, does nothing. Now, I'm going to get my profile deleted the next time firefox updates, and I won't even be able to restore from backup.

Finally, whoever's in charge of this feature needs to learn English. Log in is a verb, login is a noun and an adjective. Similarly, back up is a verb, backup is a noun and and adjective. You can't "backup" your profile. You BACK UP your profile. A backup is a noun. You can't do nouns. You do verbs. I back up my profile. I back up (verb) the backup (noun) in a backup (adjective) file.
