During a recent upgrade, the Appearance defaulted to Dark. I hate dark web pages! Yes, I went to Settings > Appearance > Themes and selected Light. When I open a new page, it is light, but the Firefox home page is still dark. I want the Firefox home page to be white background with black text. How can I make that happen?

Sorry if this is addressed elsewhere but I could not find it. After a recent update Firefox (Windows 11) started each website file download (mostly pdfs) at the Downloads folder. Previously, it would start at the most recent folder to which I downloaded a file. Since nearly all of my downloads are in a few neighboring folders way down the folder tree, I now have a ton of navigating to do for every single download. This is not sustainable. I have done a lot of Googling and investigated several suggested changes to about:config. I changed browser.download.folderList from 1 to 2. I made sure that browser.download.useDownloadDir is false. No effect. Any other suggestions? I am considering abandoning Firefox altogether. It has issues with some parts of the Medicare website. And an earlier update seemingly eliminated my ability to set a particular web page (Google) for new tabs, due to which I often wait a while for the page to appear, then realize I must click on Home. I like Firefox , but too many issues are accumulating and I can't seem to find solutions. Thanks for any help.

I have been on Windows 11 for years. While trying to fix a password issue, I learned that Firefox thinks I am on Windows 10 whose support is going away. How can I tell Firefox that I am on Windows 11?

Related issue: Firefox no longer likes my password. It has 8 characters, but only letters and numbers. Things got messed up while trying to fix it, so I am not sure of my password anymore. Apparently Firefox and Mozilla have separate accounts. I don't know which system's password is broken.

It was suggested that I clear cookies and cache. I cannot find the menu to do that. Trying to fix each problem just creates more problems! I need some support to straighten things out.

I use Bookmark Toolbar a lot. It has several menus, with submenus. But when they layer over top of each other, I get lost in which layer I am on and too often my mouse moves off the top layer, which closes it.

I would like to somehow change the colour of the menus, depending on the layer. Currently they seem to all be kinda grey, regardless of theme.

But if the first dropdown menu could be yellow and then the next be blue ... or whatever, it would be most helpful.

I suspect this is something that could be effected in userChrome.css, but I have no idea what to put in there to target the menus.

Any help or guidance you can provide is much appreciated.

Thanks!

Yahoo Mail authentication errors in Activity Manager

I recently set up Thunderbird for Windows as a troubleshooting step for my Yahoo Mail account which has been generating an incessant number of authentication pop-ups in Microsoft Outlook (Classic) for Windows. I had been using New Outlook for many months before switching to Classic Outlook a couple of weeks ago. With New Outlook, there had been no authentication issues nor pop-ups appearing. I have been using the OAuth authentication, not app passwords, in all cases.

Setup within Thunderbird was relatively easy and the OAuth authentication went through without issues. The account has synchronized and seems to be continuing to do so as I read, delete, and send messages.

However, when I went in to the Activity Manager, I'm seeing a number of errors, appearing every 10-15 minutes or so. They read as follows:

  • Alert from account xxx@yahoo.com: AUTHENTICATE Server error - Please try again later
  • The current operation on 'Inbox' did not succeed. The mail server for account xxx@yahoo.com responded: UID FETCH completed.
  • The current operation on 'Inbox' did not succeed. The mail server for account xxx@yahoo.com responded: p.

Can anyone help me understand what they mean? It would help me stabilize Thunderbird and might give some clues as to what is happening in Outlook Classic for me. It would seem some have authentication issues with Yahoo on different platforms while the service works perfectly fine for others. I would like to move away from Yahoo as I find it finicky with a number of its features, but I'm a long-term user (25+ years) and don't see that being a practical solution at the moment.

Thanks!
