Firefox Multi-Account Containers | Is it possible to "limit to designated" no matter what is the subdomain?

When I'm using Firefox Multi-Account Containers with the option "Limit to designated sites" enabled, I encounter an annoying issue when navigating between different subdomains of the same website.

For example, if you navigate from "https://www.google.com" to "https://accounts.google.com," you will exit the "Google" container until that subdomain is manually added to the container.

I thought it would be nice if I could somehow create a container for "https://*.google.com/" (where * acts as a wildcard, as explained in the note below).

  • Is it possible to do this? If so, how, and what is the safest way? (See note below)
  • If not, is there any viable solution to this problem?

Note: The RegEx (or wildcard) * should only allow alphanumeric variations to prevent security vulnerabilities. For instance, "https://www.PhishingSite.com/WeStealYourAccount.google.com" could bypass the container if * is not restricted properly. In this case, * could mistakenly refer to "www.PhishingSite.com/WeStealYourAccount"

Thank you for your help

The other day I accidentally pressed a keystroke that changed a Firefox setting, and now it thinks I'm on a mobile device/displays sites in mobile view where possible by default. This has persisted despite restarts of the browser and the computer and has been happening since Sunday (Australian time). I've tried opening the Responsive Design dev tool and I've sent screenshots to a techsavvy friend (I'm totally blind and use a screen-reader, so couldn't tell this was happening until I tried to use a site that had a radically different layout in mobile view), and aside from not seeing an exit button or a switch to change device mode, he couldn't tell what was going on.

I'm stuck and need help! I would like to unmobile my Firefox!

Hi there

My accent colour for my PC is a kind of lime green which I like. The blue of Mozilla Thunderbird worked really well with that green. The recent update has changed the colour of Thunderbird to a bright lime green which I really don't like. Is there anyway of keeping my PC accent colour whilst reverting Thunderbird to it's traditional blue colour please?

Kind regards Paul

Not long ago all my search queries starting showing up in French instead of my default language English.

Every time I click Change to English I get taken to Google's Search Settings with NO indication where to make English the Default language. When I click Parametre de langue I am taken to the Google Search Settings - Language and region. Here I change Language of display to English...., but when I close the window and start up again it jumps right back to French.

It's driving me nuts!

Hope someone can assist me :-)

Thunderbird 128.2: Hide column picker of the message list pane

First I'm living in Munich (Germany) and my English - how to say it - could be better. Therefore forgive my mistakes.

I installed Thunderbird 128.2.0esr (64 bit, German language) on Windows 10 to check it out as an alternative to MS Outlook. So far I like what I see and I will probably switch.

One small thing is the column picker button on the right side of the message list pane. I assume - after setting up Thunderbird - it will be rarely used - there is also the alternative by using the right mouse button on any of the columns - but it takes column space. Is it possible to hide/remove the column picker?

In my humble opinion above - next to "display options for message list pane" - would be a better place.

Thank you very much, Reinhard

All of a sudden, my extensions icons, site icons and some images in every page are very very dark or pitch black. I haven't change anything in themes other than changing the theme of the browser after installing it.

In the attached images, you can see how the Mozilla site icon is rendered by Firefox Stable, Firefox Nightly in Recovery Mode without my account being signed in and Google Chrome. The other screenshot is the extension toolbar with extension icons being rendered all black instead of their true color.

I have used Thunderbird as my preferred mail client for many years. Recent upgrade to Kubuntu 24.04 from 22.04.4 seems to have changed storage options. Thunderbird 128.1.0esr(64bit)

I store my mail on my local server so that I can access it from a number of different computers on the same network. If I set the Local Directory to that network folder it is changed to /run/user/1000/doc/5f5f8977/mail.xxxxxx.com and the mail is imported to my local disk in that folder.

However, when I restart the computer I have to set up the network folder again each time.

I have never had this problem before. How do I set the Local Directory permanently to the network server address? Thanks Bob

I have always been able to save my bookmarks to a folder called "Other Bookmarks". I can't remember if I created it, or it was there. Until this last update (130.0), this folder was my default folder, and all the bookmarks were saved there automatically. Now, for some reason, all of my bookmarks are being saved to the Bookmarks Toolbar, which I don't want to happen. I've tried setting the default back to the "Other Bookmarks", but for some reason, nothing works. I've tried 3 different ways of doing it. This only started to happen after FF automatically updated. Any help would be appreciated.

(Just upgraded to 128.2 64 bit - but I can't find the selection screen shown on https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/unified-toolbar.

I want to have a clickable shortcut to Next Message. Why? Because as I'm reading and reply to some of the messages, I have the mouse in my hand. It's a pain to switch to the keyboard to hit N or F. And I always forget the letter to go to the previous message.

Also -- after I delete a message that I just read from the trashcan icon, despite having more messages to read, even in a thread, the view goes back to the Inbox. I'd want to see the next email, not the list. For all its advanced features, this seems to be basic email reading. Maybe I missed an option?

OK. When on TB 115.x I could search my calendar with a keyword and the Events "description" would be included in that search. With 128 it would appear that only the event title is searched and I can find no setting that allows me to include the 'description' in the search.

Have I missed something obvious or has the 'search' changed in some way (i.e. become inferior!).

Any information appreciated. Oh, I 'upgraded' from 115 to 128 rather than a fresh install, if that matters ....

System is Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. Firefox 130.0 is the browser. When printing PDF forms from a website, the printer dialog shows the paper size as US Letter, but it prints as a tiny version of the document.

When I dig deeper into the printer dialog, the page setup is listed as na_letter. When I change it to US Letter, the document will print correctly, but it reverts to na_letter for subsequent print jobs.

The printer is a Brother inkjet, MFC-J985DW. This problem only started recently and the only known changes have been automatic Firefox updates. Any suggestions for a fix?
