I had to replace my hard drive recently, and with it my Firefox install. I managed to transfer everything over to the new install, except for the URLs in Reading List. The extension itself made it over; just not any of the URLs I stored in it.

In theory, I know that I can scrounge through the Firefox install on my old hard drive and grab the necessary files, but I have no idea how I'd go about doing that. I can't rely on folder names, since those are based on extension IDs that are generated when I install the extension, and the files themselves are too opaque to glean anything useful from (Notepad++ didn't turn anything up, so I'm assuming the extension data's compressed).

Other than that, I've tried:

  • Running this tool to see if there was anything I could use. There wasn't.
  • Trying Load Temporary Add-ons to identify the Add-on I wanted. I accidentally erased my feeds on RSS Feed Reader doing this, so there's another extension whose data I need to restore. (It was fine before I tried Load Temporary Add-ons.)

I’m using Thunderbird to connect my Hotmail account. The setup shows as “successfully added,” but an error message appears:

“The operation on Inbox did not succeed. The mail server for account responded: User is authenticated but not connected.”

Previously, the connection worked perfectly, but starting this week, Thunderbird can no longer access or sync the hotmail mailbox.

How to fix this problem!!???

Show custom favicon for bookmark in a subfolder? userChrome.css

For example, this code in userChrome.css will work for showing a custom favicon on the bookmarks toolbar:

.bookmark-item[label="Bookmark"] image {

   width:0!important;
   height:0!important;
   padding: 0 0 16px 16px !important;
   background:url(custom-icon.png)!important; 
   background-size: 16px !important;

}

However, after a recent update, if the bookmark is located inside a folder, the custom favicon will not be displayed and it will revert to the websites favicon.

See the attached image example of a bookmark on the toolbar vs. inside a folder.

Hi All, I have been sending emails through Android Thunderbird, but they aren't being synced to the server, so I can't see them anywhere else. I've set the Sent folder to sync (as well as the Inbox). Pressing the sync button just spins the indicator, but doesn't actually sync. When I try to move or copy messages, an error comes up saying that messages can't be copied or moved that aren't synconised. How can all my messages (sent, inbox, everything) be synced so that I can see them everywhere? I've just turned on sync debugging, will see the results soon.

For the past few weeks, I have been intermittently but stubbornly getting the beachball of death when I open Firefox, coupled with Force Quit. Sometimes I force quit and then restart and it's fine. Sometimes I force quiet repeatedly and it continues not to open. Sometimes I restart my laptop and that fixes it, but sometimes not.

I do have a lot of tabs open, but i have always had a lot of tabs open. This thing is new.

What could have changed? What do I need to do, fix, trash, or curse?

(In simple language, like for your unsavvy grandma please?)

I get genuine messages from Bell. I get spam from Bel! (that's an exclamation mark) and others including an "e" with a mark under it like a cedilla. I would like to copy and paste that version into a filter but I have not been able to capture it. I can copy the <whoIam@isp.com> part but not the name. The answer is probably obvious, but it escapes me.
