I am having a problem with a 502 Bad Gateway error which will not go away. There was originally a real problem, but it has been cleared up. I am trying to access an e-book on Libby from my local library site when the error occurs. The link works without any problem in Microsoft Edge. It used to work in Firefox as well, until the temporary problem occurred. I have clear my Firefox cache, but this has not resolved the problem. Somewhere Firefox has stored something which is creating this spurious error, but I have been unable to find it. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

I've installed Thunderbird on new computer, and moved over from the old computer emails and Address Books (including customized ones). But when I start a new message, I can't get any e-addresses to appear in the To box.

What do I need to do to access Addresses?

I have an iMac and it will not log into our credit union's web site. When I goo to the log in and enter my password and such, and click on log in, nothing happens. I have a Mac Book Air with Firefox on it and it works fine. So does my wife's laptop. But my iMac doe snot work. I can use Safari to log in but not Firefox. Very annoying since I use Firefox all the time.

Running Firefox 140.3.1 ESR on Debian, lately I've been experiencing a bug when I have several instances of Firefox open, and multiple tabs open in each instance. After a few minutes of browsing and opening and closing tabs, I am unable to drag tabs to rearrange them (above the address bar). The "X" that is part of the tab also doesn't work to close the tab, and clicking the main "hamburger" menu icon (three horizontal lines) does not drop down the menu. If I switch to a different instance of Firefox that is already running, sometimes the "hamburger" menu icon starts working (sometimes not), and I am able to exit and restart Firefox, which works for awhile, and then a few minutes later the same thing happens again. Interestingly, when it's not working, I am still able to "right-click" on the tab and choose "close tab" from the drop-down menu.

I've been trying to discern a pattern, but have not been able to find a way to reliably reproduce the error. It often seems to happen when I'm using Reddit or Craigslist (maybe only more noticable because I often open and close a lot of tabs on those two sites). At one point I thought it might be related to opening a new tab for a site that had previously been opened in another Firefox window (instance), but that may be a false lead, because I haven't been able to find a way to consistently trigger the bug.

Thank you for maintaining the best privacy-respecting browser in the world, an indispensable tool for me.

Hi I recently received an update on Windows 11 insider channel that blocked me from using Firefox and Google Chrome. It also refused to allow me to reinstall Firefox. It would not let open the browsers at all. I did everything possible-no child restrictions- no security issues-no issues with Microsoft redistributable packages. The only browser it would allow me to use was Explorer. I ended up doing a clean install of Windows 11 to fix the problem. I don’t think blocking a user from a web browser is legal but I’m not a lawyer. Thanks, Jonathan

When I try to connect to MSNBC Live TV or Fox Sports Live TV while using Mozilla Firefox, I am asked to click on my provider (which is Verizon) so that I can verify my account. When I click on that icon (from a choice of 15 or so providers), it sends me to the Verizon page where the message is Please wait - we are verifying your account with a spinning wheel that does not stop spinning. How can this situation be rectified so that I can sign in. It worked fine for years until the last couple of weeks. Thank you, Raymond Birch

I am looking to archive old folders from mail addresses that I don't use anymore, but don't want to delete the folders. And once those are gone- I would like the rearrange the order of the folders. This second one seems like it should be easy but I am having trouble finding how to do that. Thank you

Firefox repeatedly crashes on my, multiple times a day. I'dc really like to NOT have to change my default browser to Chrome.

What happens is that Firefox freezes, and I get a white bar at the top telling me so. I get a popup box asking if I want to close Firefox or wait for it to respond. Waiting doesn't work, so I always have to close Firefox. When I reopen it, fortunately all m,y open tabs are retained, but it crashes again within minutes or seconds as soon as I click on anything.

There only thing that seems to work is a reboot of my PC. But the respite is short before Firefox crashes again.

I've disabled most plugins, but that hasn't helped. Is there a way to create an event log within Firefox that I can share with someone at Mozilla to help e debug the issue? It's got to be something local rather than Firefox itself; I can't imagine this is happening to most users.

Hello- I have the drafts being saved locally to a draft account but in the last week, drafts are disappearing rather than being saved. I did change severs over the summer and have had a slew of issues since then, but this is a new issue as of this week. I have multiple email accounts and this is happening on all of them. I am on a mac 140.3.1esr (aarch64). Thanks for any help- this is a debilitating issue.

Hi, Thunderbird : Under Windows 10 and Ubuntu, I have a vertical taskbar on the left. but once installed under Widows 11 no taskbar and no way to make it appear. Do you know a solution? Thank you

I noticed that I can't see the end of any longer email messages and realized that the Status bar is missing in the email window, too. Changing the relevant setting in the menu didn't do anything. The Status bar is visible in other tabs. When I hid the Today Pane (Events & Tasks), the status bar came back. When I displayed it, Status bar disappeared again. With longer email messages, it is impossible to view the complete message, because the message window seems to extend below the screen bottom. Hiding Windows task bar doesn't help.

Help, how can I have my status bar and read the messages without opening them in a new window, without having to hide the Today pane?

I have an MS email account which is passwordless and only uses fingerprint/passkey authentication.

How do I get TB to use this security method to gain access to my email? Currently, every time I try to add the email address/account, it asks for a password, which obviously I don't have.

Please excuse misspellings and anything that may not make sense or cause offence as the medication I take can have an adverse effect on my mind.

My bookmarks toolbar is showing, but it's empty. All of my bookmarks are gone.

I went to a websites and attempted to add it to my bookmarks toolbar, but Firefox failed to add it to my toolbar.

I'm on Windows 11, I've archived my gmails to a 3GB zip and extracted it to a local MBOX file. I want to sue Thunderbird only to be able to conveniently see these emails. I don't want any accounts, nor to connect Thunderbird to the internet - I juust want to see the gmails.

I've installed Thunderbird, and the import/export Tools NG add-on. It won't let me import to a unified folder, so I deleted the unified folder. I have no "local folders", so I can't right click on one and select import. I can't see how to make one either, and the help is of no help.

I wonder if somebody could tell me, without assuming knowledge I don't have, how to do this please.

Thanks Chris

Hi I have a firefox account which I use on 2 macs and a PC as well as an android phone. For the past few months non of my book marks, passwords etc are being synced across the system and I have now completely different book marks on different devises. I have synced each computer multiple times without effect. This used to work perfectly before I changed my password a few months back. It is now reaching a point that firefox is no longer usable for me?? Thanks for your help

When I open the tab tray and realize that I don't know where the tab I'm looking for is, I would like to be able to type some search terms to find it.

This is when I am searching for a tab that I know is open, so I'm not using the new tab workflow.

I am having trouble with my Midflorida bank loading information. I am using my desk top and it goes to a page that states I am using an app. Please help me.

Thank you
