For the past couple of weeks, Thunderbird has been horrible to use. I get a "not responding" message often. There is much more, but limit reached!
In addition to the "not responding" message, everything is slow to load, mostly it seems because it is waiting for the "not responding" to go away. Very often when I am … (read more)
In addition to the "not responding" message, everything is slow to load, mostly it seems because it is waiting for the "not responding" to go away. Very often when I am typing a message, for no reason at all, I will be moved to my Inbox or other folder and messages from that folder or other folders are getting moved to the Archives for no reason. Very frustrating. Help please.

Is there a way to get around the "not available for your platform" blocker and force a download?
There's a theme that I love (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ft-deepdark ), but it's a pain to update because it's not officially supported on OS X. In the… (read more)
There's a theme that I love (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ft-deepdark ), but it's a pain to update because it's not officially supported on OS X. In the developer's FAQ, they state:
"It is not officially available for MAC, but for those who would like to try it anyway on that platform, you can force download (regardless if it is the Windows or the Linux file) and once the package downloaded on your computer, you can install it manually by clicking the 'tools' button in the add-ons manager and then selecting 'install an add-on from file...'."
However, this options seems to have been removed in newer versions of Firefox. So basically, every time there's a major version release, I have to download the theme on a Windows machine and transfer the xpi file to my Mac.
Does Firefox use ip 38.113.165.7x for health reports and data?

I see large packets of data going to 38.113.165.xx addresses - .71 for example. Using netstat -no I see that this is Firefox. Is Firefox using this address to receive health and data reports which I have enabled? Is it downloading lists of bad sites? Or do I have a more serous problem. Perhaps data is being hi-jacked? Is there another explanation?

firefox updated without my permission AND cannot right-click addons on toolbar

First of all, the last update, 49.01, updated ITSELF. I previously had the preferences set to, "Check for update, but let me choose...," but after the update, I found it had been changed to "automatic". *I* did not change it. (I did subsequently change it BACK to my preference.) It is very disturbing to find my settings changed when no one else has touched my personal computer. (only one other here).
Second, AFTER that update, I no longer can right-click on the addon icons on the upper toolbar in order to get the ADDON"S options, I can still left-click the addon icons, but right-click (different menus) does not work properly. Some the of addons WANT a right-click to give me THEIR options. There doesn't seem to be any updates for my addons. I only have four. Everywhere I right-click on the bar, it gives me the FIREFOX menu and toolbar options. This is why I guessed it is a firefox problem. This is the main problem that I would like fixed.
Third, I discovered that I had 32-bit firefox installed on my 64-bit computer (new). I had trusted the program to figure that out as I didn't see a 32/64-bit option at the time. Silly me. That would seem to be an important choice. So I have now installed the 64-bit program and uninstalled the 32-bit as per mozilla instructions. This has not fixed the right-clicking problem however.
No, I do NOT want to "refresh" firefox since the instructions say it will wipe all my addons and THEIR settings. I won't be able to remember them again. I still can't remember what I had had on my old computer. If your idea of "refresh" actually means "erase addons", then you should just call it that.
Thank you for any help.

Below is what Hostmonster told me was wrong with Thunderbird sending mail through thier service: I don't know what the ehlo-helo value should be .
This is a link they sent on how to change it in TB but I don't know exactly what to change what to what:
Hostmonster answer to TB problem sending out mail thru them----------------------------------------------
It's an issue with how thunderbird is presenting itself in the HELO
It's using a method that spammers typically use, by claiming to be a localhost user when it isn't
In the information it is giving, it is claiming to be a localhost user, or coming from 127.0.0.1, when it is not a part of our server at bluehost
The ehlo-helo value needs to be fixed.
This guide may help: blog.plee.me/2014/11/mozilla-thunderbird-changing-the-ehlo-helo-value-in-the-received-header-for-outgoing-mail
Thank you,

Here is my current TB settings. Some are for Hostclear which I am currently trying to switch to.

I've twice gotten a banner that says, "Want to try something new in Firefox?" and has a button labeled "get it now," and another button for "more info."
Is this legit, or is it malware? It happened once a day or two ago, and then again today. (I took a screenshot, but it is not uploading for some reason.)

Win 10. Wouldn't perform attach function, so upgraded to FF 49. Reboot. Nothing. Not sure if this is a Microsoft Outlook email problem so asking both places.
Get message can't attach file at this time, try later. (file on my computer, .pdf file) followed all the MS troubleshooting including installing Silverlight. Still won't work.
I was able to email with attachments prior to today in Outlook.com.
Any suggestions?

Just downloaded Foxfire and having mutliple problems. 1) every time I open a saved shortcut on my phone's home page, it does not actually open unless I click AGAIN "open tab", which is very stupids and unnecessary.
2) every time I open a new tab, it opens a list of recent websites I have visited and not Google, which I have set up both as my home page and my default search engine.
3) there is no spell check when I type. For example, ween I type in this box to type this question, there is no indication "ween" is spelled wrong.

OS X 10.10.5. As has been happening with recent versions, Firefox announced an upgrade, but added in the same message that the upgrade could not be installed because the account lacked administrator privileges.* I downloaded Firefox 49.0 and replaced the previous version. I got the warning (no surprise).
Option 1: Using Finder I hold down the control key while clicking the Firefox app file. It opens. I close it, wait, click the icon in the dock. Same verifying and then the developer message with Cancel or Open. Option 1 does not seem to cause 49.0 to be recognized as accepted.
Option 2: I click the icon in the dock and choose Cancel in the developer message. Then open System Preferences>Security & Privacy. I see the message about Firefox and the Open Anyway button. Whether I am fast enough to click it or not, I can't tell. Whether I try to click (even if it seems I was fast enough) or simply wait a second or two, that part of the Security & Privacy pane is cleared. The next time I launch Firefox, OS X verifies and offers Cancel or Open.

How do I get rid of view pocket list and other bookmarks? I should be able to delete these easily without viewing hours of documentation. Get rid of them or at least make it so i can easily get rid of them either by right clicking or going into show bookmarks and deleting. I'm not sure what kind of nonsense this is but someone screwed up.

The snipping tool worked fine the first several times I used it, now when I try to use it, the page I'm trying to print turns grey and the tool won't work. I found someone who had the same problem, and it was connected to the ibm security software, windows 10, and Firefox not allowing the snipping tool to work unless the ibm security is turned off, but I can't find it to turn it off. I can't locate it in the software on my computer, I can't locate it in Windows 10, and I can't locate it on Firefox. It sounds like an easy fix, but why can't I find it??

Every time I am using Firefox after a device restart on either my Android device, Laptop or Home desktop I have to relogin to my Firefox account to fetch my synced data. After the login, I have to go to my Email (Gmail) to click on a confirmation link that allows me to Sync the information to the browser..
This process is very time consuming, and makes me want to go back to Chrome sometimes...
What I have done so far:
- I have looked at almost every browser setting to allow saved history, password, etc..
- I have tweaked about:config browser.sessionstore.privacy_level from 0 -> 2
- I have looked at the custom setting for history, and everything I checked except Clear history when firefox closes, and private browsing mode.
- I have Sync across all devices configured appropriately..
TLDR; I want to disable or change the sync process that is constantly needing to relogin to fetch my Synced information, and the need to go through my Gmail to allow sync.

Ever since I updated to macOS Sierra, Firefox, and really, most macOS apps, are acting funny.
There's a lot of constant scrolling going on even on a slight mouse move and on various keyboard shortcuts, like pasting something into a field, the page zooms or shrinks, sometimes considerably. I know I can hit command-0 to correct that, but it's just temporary. I'm looking for a permanent fix.
Why are new messages marked as read (and not bolded) even when I haven't read them yet? This only happens when they are part of a thread.
And strangely, they are bolded for a split second when they appear in my inbox and then the bold disappears.
