Hello,

The pop-up blocker exceptions are not working for some sites which I, of course, use a lot. The sites are listed in the exceptions, but Firefox stubbornly continues to block them. I sincerly consider walking away from Firefox (notwithstanding I love it and being a long term user), because it happens with sites I frequently use on a daily base.

I've looked around but none of the solutions work for me as those articles are rather old.

My version of Firefox: 99.0.1 (64bit) running under Windows 10 Pro

Hoping to find a solution here.

Renaud

Hello

I do not understand how firefox sync is supposed to work. I have a desktop and a laptop. The desktop is FF 85 on Linux Mint (I cannot get a later version due to some querk) The laptop is 99 on Windows 10 Both are signed in to sync but my bookmarks were scrambled so I signed out the laptop and cleared the profile, cleaned up the bookmarks in the desktop and to be safe I tried just syncing the tabs, not the bookmarks, by opening the fresh firefox on the laptop and signing in again. In the sidebar under my account icon I clicked "Synchronise now" and the open tabs from my desktop appeared in a list underneath, jumbled up. (I have 2 separate windows open on the desktop with different tabs in each, but this separation was not followed either, there didn’t seem to be any provision for syncing tabs in two separate windows)

But the row of tabs didn’t open, all I can do is open them one by one from the list on the right, this is a slow process as every time I click on a tab in the list the new page opens in the same single tab, not a new one, but the sidebar closes again.

Is this what’s supposed to happen? I was expecting the synced row of tabs to open automatically.

This feature would have been useful as my OS on the desktop, (Linux Mint) tends to crash and to have the on the laptop would be a good backup.

Incidentally the other way I try to back up the lost tabs is to select them all and bookmark them to a new folder which I call “backup” but it seems this doesn’t necessarily duplicate them, which I would prefer, so any of the open tabs that were previously bookmarked risk being removed from the original bookmarked folder, without my noticing, and I am therefore reluctant to delete the backup folder without checking that it doesn’t contain the only bookmark of a page.

When I came back to syncing the bookmarks, how do I avoid them getting scrambled again?

When I type in the main firefox pane I sometimes get the search bar popping, cf the discussions 4 years ago. No idea why, I haven't added any addons. Maddening. It's not doing it now or i couldn't have sent this.

Hello, I have a GMail account, from which I download my email in Thunderbird (in Linux), and keep it ordered locally.

I noticed that my backups are very slow, because Thunderbird keeps two big directories that get updated often:

11G /username/.thunderbird/k0aa999s.default/ImapMail 7.0G /username/.thunderbird/k0aa999s.default/Mail

under /username/.thunderbird/k0aa999s.default/Mail I see I have my local folder structure and that's good, but what is under ImapMail ? I guess it is the corresponding email structure I have on the gmail server, (although gmail reports that I'm using 5.67GB, not 11GB). The 11GB are created by just 4 files: 1.6G Apr 22 09:55 Sent Mail 3.0G Apr 22 14:16 Trash 2.6G Apr 22 14:16 Important 4.3G Apr 22 14:20 All Mail

I saw it suggested to rebuild the folders in Thunderbird - I did it but nothing changed

What can I do? I dont need / want to replicate Gmail structure locally, I just want (and use) only what I have under /username/.thunderbird/k0aa999s.default/Mail

Finally! I successfully migrated from Eudora 7, but I had to use TB 17.  Where do I go from here?

I'm running a Mac (10.12.6) with different flavors of Windows in different Parallels VM's, and in order to keep my Eudora install safe I did the conversion on a Win 10 32-bit VM on my creaky old MacBookPro which is disconnected from my network.

So now I want to get a current version of TB running with my newly minted TB data on my primary desktop computer. Typically I am concurrently running the following Parallels VM's: Win 7 32-bit, Win 10 32-bit and Win 10 64-bit.

Makes no difference to me which VM I start with, I just don't know how to get from TB17 on my laptop to TB95(?) on one of my desktop VM's.

Why do I keep getting a server error message when trying to access a link?

Hello,

My remote server supports POP only and the disk space is filling up. So, I wanted Thunderbird to download all emails from all times to the local disk.

But it is downloading only few days and not all mails. Tools >> Account settings >>Synchronization & Storage option is not available to me.

Is there any add-on to do the job or some way to activate the Synchronization & Storage option?

Is there any kind soul to help me out?

In anticipation, Thanks, Gaurab

Hey there,

When first opening the MozillaVPN app (in Linux) it gave me to option to consent or decline to data collection of technical information. I consented but would like to decline/turn it off. I know how to do this for the Firefox browser, through the settings and privacy tab; however, I'm having trouble finding a way to turn off / opt-out for MozillaVPN.

Thanks!

(I'm asking this question in this Firefox forum because I was unable to make a new post in the MozillaVPN forum.)

Hello, since migrating from Chrome to Firefox, I have used the Import Wizard to successfully transfer over my bookmarks and history, but I just can't seem to get my logins/passwords over. The wizard finishes saying that it successfully imported saved logins and passwords, but nothing shows up in the password manager. I am running Windows 10 64bit and Firefox is up to date. Anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks

Thunderbird WIndows - auto-installed update 91.8.1 this morning, Apr.28th.

Incoming emails stopped showing up in the inboxes in all three accounts I have set up.

Can I unroll the update? 91.8.0 was working fine. I use Thunderbird for work - need a solution urgently.

Thanks in advance! Cyril

Hello-- I have created an alternative account in Thunderbird, and with it custom signature text using the html option in Account Settings. When I send emails using this alternative identity, however, the signature that displays is the one associated with the primary, default account. How do I get Thunderbird to use the correct signature?

I also have a problem when emails are sent to gmail: the signature displays with an extra blank line between each line of text. The signature displays as desired in other email clients. Thanks for any clues Jim

I've always used the "Always ask you where to save files" option when downloading. Recently (beginning of April 2022), files go directly to the Downloads folder. The "Always ask" option is still selected in Settings.

I've tried un-selecting and re-selecting, restarting Firefox, restarting my computer - basically every iteration of 'turn it off and on again' that I can think of.

I've been using Firefox since 2007, and I've had a love-hate connection with it at times. It is not uncommon for updates to wreak havoc on the system. I have to fix everything, and I don't want to use Firefox anymore. With the updates, it's changed a lot of the pages, even the ones that I use daily. I've tried everything to try to fix these problems. Please tell me how to straighten things up.

I forgot my password to my Firefox account, and only just realized I haven't updated it in KeypassXC when I was trying to log in to a new machine. It seems that, even though I am already logged in on my old computer and have full access to my account (including saved passwords, bookmarks, and browsing history) I can't find a way to reset my password without deleting all of my synced data. From the "Change Password" menu, it requires my old password if I want to change it without deleting everything. Also, I have 2FA enabled, so why isn't there the option to authenticate my identity in a password reset using 2FA instead of my old password? I know a similar thing already exists for recovery keys, but I only have 2FA. Is there any way for me to reset my password where I don't lose everything? Thank you.

<tools> <Clear recent history> asks whether I want to delete Browsing history cookies cache

I have 7800 entries in cache. Are these "scratch" or "temporary" files or are these files I have kept in folders over a few decades? I want to keep the messages that I put in folders.

Is Browsing history just links to Firefox I clicked on inside messages?

I receive emails addressed to many different eddresses which have been sent to me via a remailer. The To: function still shows the original eddress. I want any emails originally addressed to two specific eddresses to be forwarded to another eddress, one that will be read on an iPad. Is this possible?

I am looking for a new email service provider, and Proton mail seems to always be near the top of the list. Searching Thunderbird support yields only help from a year or more ago. How well do proton and Thunderbird mesh currently?
