I'm using Firefox in a kiosk-mode application, on a Raspberry Pi based system, started from a bash script like this:

# Clear history etc. to prevent problems if unit is not perfectly shut down rm -v -r /home/pi/.mozilla/firefox/*.default rm -v -r /home/pi/.mozilla/firefox/*.default-esr rm -v -r /home/pi/.cache/mozilla/firefox/*.default rm -v /home/pi/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini

sleep 2

/usr/bin/firefox-esr --kiosk -url http://127.0.0.1

However on booting I get a banner from Mozilla along the top of the screen saying: "Firefox automatically sends some data to Mozilla so that we can improve your experience [Choose what I share]"

This is not acceptable in kiosk mode, as it would give users access to the configuration as well as being a visual annoyance. How can we disable this?

How to make custom colours permanent? TB used to keep custom colours, but doesn't appear to any more. The colours offered are mostly not readable for text, so they have to be made a custom shade; but TB doesn't do that any more.

I have ticked the box 'spellcheck as you type' which should indicate a typo or a misspelling It has stopped working. I have gone into settings and unticked it and re-ticked several times but o luck If there is a solution, please note: i'm non-tech and can't follow shortcuts so need every step in the process Many thanks Dina Allard

I have 25 filters set up in Thunderbird and all work as expected. However, any mail I receive that is not caught by one of my filters is directed to the folder I have set up in the last filter in my list. Why? Shouldn't any mail not caught by a filter just remain in the inbox? How do I get this unwanted behavior to stop?

Hey, Please my metamask is no longer opening over the past few days, its just showing the loading icon in an infinite looping continues and never stops and never opens. Attached the pics for the infinite loop below:

latest versions of firefox (now at 140.0.1) keeps opening onto my 2nd monitor which is off - how to stop it doing it. Tried making new profile which works for awhile, but sooner or later they all bump it to the 2nd monitor and it never comes back - tried moving to primary and closing it there, but next time back on #2. Open 2nd window while first is on primary, and that goes to 2nd monitor...

When I download Firefox initially I am able to set the home page the way I want with the shortcuts I use. After a few weeks the shortcuts disappear and the only way to get them back is to delete Firefox and reinstall. I am also not able to save bookmarks anymore. This has the same resolution methods.

This has happened 3 times already.

In my main email account, I have many folders each with munerous sub folders. In TB for PC, these sub folders can be collapsed into their main folder but in Android, it shows all the folders and sub folders all the time and I can find no way to collapse these sub floders into their main folder. I am a great fan of TB for PC and have used it since the start but android is not so user friendly so may have to go back to G-Mail or Outlook, both of which have the ability to collapse sub follders into the main folder. Can someone help me please.

In Windows 10 my Firefox Icon lists above the tasks all recent downloads which I do not want for security reasons. I have been deleting one at a time when shutting down. I don't want them there at all. Please help. Thanks

Is there a way to hide the popup asking for support either permanently or for a longer period?

I fully get the need to ask for support, but this one pops up many times a day, which is just too much.

I have some websites that require pop-ups. I cannot get them to work in Firefox on my Android phone. Google searches reference a setting under "privacy and security" where I should be able to allow pop-ups in general or for certain URLs only, but I don't have that setting option.

I have Firefox version 139.4 if that helps.

Thanks in advance, Paul

Recently, after upgrading to 140, I noticed that text replacement on MacOS (Sequoia, here) seems to be functioning differently within Thunderbird; differently than in other apps I use.

What's happening is when I type a known shortcut, say "pr", the modal for the replacement pops up; if I continue typing my preferred word, the text replacement is simply inserted. I now otherwise have to press ESC to stop this. Before, I could ignore the pop-up modal and just keep typing -- that is what we expect in other apps, and this seems to be the case in Firefox (which I'm using now, and it works fine). This suggests there may be some change or difference in TB that is causing this unwanted behavior.

I do not see that there are any settings to change this -- but before I dig too deeply, I want to understand why this change was made and whether I have a choice or setting I can fix this -- or if it's a bug.

Thanks!
