I've used Firefox for years on my iMac with its 5K display. The UI was fine. Today I had to delete and then re-install Firefox because the program had started crashing repeatedly. I lost a lot of bookmarks & tabs. Upon opening the new install, I saw that Firefox now shows a miniaturized UI that is very difficult to read. I refer to the UI elements (tabs, bookmarks bar, URL/search field), not the web pages themselves. As part of the installation, I went through all the settings, and I didn't see any controls for the sizes of UI elements. So I searched the internet and found many reports of similar problems over many years. I tried a few suggested changes to about:config settings. Nothing has worked. I am exasperated. What am I missing? Can anyone help?

Hi there,

since almost a week I got the problem, that I can't see the bookmarks in my bookmarks toolbar or edit them. The space, where they should appear is still there, just the icons are not. When I use the menu "Bookmarks" I still can see and use them.

I use a mac mini M1 of 2020, mac OS 13.2.1 (22D68) and the Firefox version 111.0.1 (64-bit).

Hi,

For a couple of weeks the synchronizing of my calendar in Thunderbird between my two devices seems broken.

- I don't know if this is related to Thunderbird or to the CalDav free service that I use (https://fruux.com/). Is there a way to find out which one it is? - Also I've been using this system for a long time, so I have many entries stored in the calendar. I'm aware that this is slowing things down, but can it cause complete lack of sync? - In case it's relevant: when I reinitialize the connection by deleting and setting up the calendar again, the content is correctly synchronized at the beginning.

Suggestions welcome, thanks :)

Hello, I want to make an email with two sender identity from different SMTP. Is that possible? One inbox for mail A, but sent as mail A or mail B with each own SMTP.

Case:

1. Mail A has IMAP and SMTP access
2. Mail B has SMTP access
3. Mail A and mail B has different SMTP
4. Mail B has no IMAP/POP access but all email received are forwarded to Mail A

Purpose: Send email like normal (choose one click sender, then write the rest of mail) using email with only SMTP access

It works well if they are on the same SMTP. As each account can only have one SMTP, I have to change SMTP manually to mail B after sending mail as mail A. It works for sending (by changing SMTP details) but not efficient.

Or maybe, is there a way to create send-only mail without inbox?

Thinks like Gmail feature... In Gmail, Send emails from a different address or alias feature-like is probably what I'm looking for. Its alias can have its own unique SMTP setting, but only have one inbox.

It works too, but want to setting this in Thunderbird if possible.

Hi, I have recently reset my phone and lost all my Google Authenticator codes. This required me to jump through a lot of hoops to get access back to all of my accounts (I'm still in the process for some accounts). On one occasion, I had backup recovery codes, but they weren't working. I noted that some organisations have the ability to view your recovery key and codes, and others don't. Does Firefox have the ability to do this so that users know that if something happens, they will be able to recover? If not, is this something they can implement?

Kind Regards, M.

My wife has a Hotmail account, which is now stating storage limit exceeded. 1) Is it correct that Thunderbird store emails on the computer? 2) Can you get Thunderbird to open the Hotmail account (If so what info is needed)? 3) Once the emails are downloaded onto the computer, if she deletes emails via her phone app or online, are they deleted in Thunderbird? 4) Can you back up the emails in Thunderbird? Thanks in advance for your help.

I deleted my emails between 2017 - 2019 by mistake, I think I have found them in this Thunderbird file : Profiles uq4n2zn3.default mail mail.pestblastersrus.co.nz, it is the sent emails I want to retrieve, I opened the sent in this file, someone told me to put all numbers to zero in the X-Mozilla-Status 0000, I then opened it in wordpad and it is encode base64, is this correct file to recover deleted sent emails ? And if so how do I convert them to readable email format?

Just spent 1 and half hours with Surfshark online support to troubleshoot why I can't send emails while connecting to them. Was working fine with Nord VPN. The problem is with Thunderbird app since I have no pb with my phone or tablet that uses FairEmail. No pb while using the browser version pf my email provider (posteo) either. I only get the "sending of the email failed" when using Thunderbird app on Windows 10. I did all the troubleshooting on the general help pages, nothing helps so far. And I can't seem to find any live support or even an email address for support. So I'd be very grateful for any info on that too. Have a great day and thanks in advance.

I have a IMAP server with a self signed certificate. How do I import the certificate as an exception? I've obviously done it once, because a certificate is listed in:

Server -> Privacy and Security -> Manage Certificates -> Server

I need to add a new one, for which I assume I use "Add Exception...". But that seems to only accept HTTPS locations. I tried imap://<hostname> and <hostname>:143 but neither seems to work.

Thanks.

Here exist some problems on my firefox account and I just feel so confused about this.The confusing situation happened yesterday when I install the firefox app on my desktop,I typed in my login email and clicked the enter but the website said that I have to use my main email address to login,I have another email address so I used another email address,about this email address I don't know whether I have used it to create a firefox account,again,I can't login my account,today I directly use the latter email to log in the firefox website,It told me that this email has't been used.So I want to know why I meet this error,and how to solve it.and when I try to change my password,the password-reset email will be sent to both the two email addresses I refeerd to in this question feedback.

Hi all,

Firefox browser hangs on page graphics when GData AV program is running. This is becoming a persistent and annoying issue. I disabled the several add-ons one by one, and narrowed it down to the GData AV program. This also affects trying to log out of gmail where the hang is perfect. Disabling GData this, and warm reset everything then works fine. The problems don´t occur with GChrome.

How can one be sure which embedded program is actually causing the problem as all work and interface together ?

I already have a profile with all the extensions, passwords, bookmarks, etc., that I want, with FDE. I want to start using Nightly, but dislike the continual moving of passwords & bookmarks, so I just want to use Firefox Sync for this.

(1) Is Sync a good option for me here? I would use FDE & Nightly on the same laptop.

(2) If my plan is ok, what is the best way to start with a new Nightly profile (which I would then Sync)? I tried deleting my old Nightly profile, uninstalling Nightly, and then downloading & uninstalling Nightly again, but every time I do this (including a reboot after uninstalling), I get a profile cannot be loaded error message every time I try to start Nightly. I don't want to use an old profile with Nightly, because I do not want to sync old data at all.

Suggestions?

I have KODI/Linux as my means to Watch TV & Movies.

I also like to watch AFL Football, Live Streamed using Kayo Subscription on Firefox.

When watching AFL Football Video Streaming, I encounter a Serious Video Buffering Problem, whereby the Video constantly stops, but the Audio continues. I do not Stream other Videos.

I have read an article that states that Bitrate can be adjusted to improve this annoying condition, but I cannot find a Setting for this in my Firefox or other Browsers.

Can an Expert on Live Streaming pass Comment on this Problem and how it can be corrected at the Customers End. Thank you.

In Firefox Settings I have PDF downloads set to 'Always Ask' ... this used to work well enough (although, depending on my file download dialog choice to 'Open with Firefox', 'Open with - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC' or 'Save File', I seem to be accumulating duplicate PDF file copies in Downloads\Mozilla.org\Downloads ... the duplicate file redundancy is very annoying), however, with the latest update to Firefox, now I am unable to direct download PDFs from the down-arrow symbol within a given e-mail's Gmail attachment icon ... I can view the file in Gmail by clicking on the body of the Gmail attachment icon but the download button within the Gmail file viewer (top right) doesn't work either. So far as I can tell, this behaviour is confined to Gmail alone (i.e.: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/1/#inbox) ... I am able to get the file download dialog for PDF document download links at other websites and successfully retrieve PDF files. What have the developers changed now? Whatever it was, quit it.

For the last two days, I have been unable to properly open AOL on my laptop using my default browser, Firefox. No ability to read email and the whole presentation was drastically different and unusable. I can open AOL just fine on my IPhone through the AOL app or by just checking mail. I called tech support at AOL and they directed me to use a different browser. I switched to Google Chrome and could see the normal AOL in both the classic and new format. I hope that you figure out what the interface problem is as I prefer Firefox's privacy and other policies. But I can't use it on my laptop unless you solve the problem. Just sayin'.

I have an old Firefox account/accounts that is no longer used and there have been attempts to access it by someone other than me, I very much would like it deleted and and my data associated with that/those accounts removed, there have been several attempts by someone to gain access to it, i would resolve it myself but i also have no access to it anymore or associated email (mediamonkeysolutions494) and i was forced to create the current account that i am on, which is fine im ok with this, but as for my old account/accounts it needs to go so that i can have peace of mind, if support could contact me I would be grateful. again it is not this account that needs attention, but an old account/accounts no longer used, yes I have had user difficulties with recovering accounts at the time hence is why i created my current one i use

the account to be DELETED IS: mediamonkeysolutions494@gmail.com (FIREFOX)

i am not sure if i have an account with groping.monkey1@gmail.com, (FIREFOX) THAT CAN GO TOO PLEASE

current account i am using to message you is to NOT be deleted

I really appreciate your time and i hope you can be of assistance, thank you in advance

Your browser is being managed by your organization. Why am i seeing this and how do I remove how do i stop it from showing up and wwhy is it showing up ? What organization is it and why?

Everytime I try to close my Firefox browser window, it just stops. There are multiple processes taking in excess of 200 or 300K in memory that seem to be causing the problem. I have to manually end the process just to close Firefox, and it is quite annoying. I just checked, my Firefox is up to date. Yesterday I deleted and re-installed Firefox, but it's still doing the same thing. This is kind of driving me nuts to be honest. I have Chrome, Opera, and Edge also installed on my computer so I'm ready to jetisson Firefox but thought I'd see what the community has to say first.

UPDATE - Firefox worked great for a few days but the issue returned not too soon after that. Whatever happened in the last update was only good temporarily. I've already done all the initial troubleshooting steps and believe I may have discovered the root cause of the issue.

There are multiple processes in Firefox whose size is over 100,000 kilobytes in size. Some are over 200K, 300K, and 400K.

As I compare this with other browsers I have on my computer, Edge has no processes over 100K, and neither does Chrome or Opera. I believe this is not coincidence, there is something internal to Firefox which creates large processes that is causing delays in closing it. Once again the problem has started annoying me and has started giving me thoughts of switching browsers again.

You can see it in the screenshots I posted.
