Firefox worked this morning, but stopped in the afternoon. I ran an update, but could not connect to my gmail account anymore, or listen to the Radio France podcasts All this works from Google Chrome (not my default browser). All under the Mozilla VPN 2001:4860:7:150e::fc (why the IPv6 address?)

Hello,

I love Thunderbird, but I have recently moved to use a Android device for most of my work, and despite that there is now Thunderbird for Android, I found that there is a feature I really need but it is not working there: moving mails across different accounts. I work daily with four different accounts and sometimes I need to move some threads from to another. I had to move to a different email reader because of that, but I would really love to come back to Thunderbird.

Best regards, Patricia.

For some reason, Thunderbird is prematurely word wrapping (or inserting line breaks) on emails that are sent.

I'm using default 'HTML Style' Defaults, but have also messed around with those to see if I can fix the issue - to no avail.

I found an old 'question' on the support site where this seemed to have been resolved (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1307490). Unfortunately, the Solution doesn't appear to apply to modern Thunderbird versions (e.g., version 148); I can't find the suggested setting to change.

bold text Hi, I have Yahoo mail and Thunderbird. I want to use TB as my main mail but still keep my Yahoo account as the data is stored by yahoo and I suspect I will loose my history if I cancel..

I leave my email and a couple of other tabs open when I shut down. I cannot make TB appear as a tab, it always opens full page.

Any ideas?

I have Firefox installed on multiple devices and most/all of them don't keep sessions or browsing history

I noticed that these files are updated while browser is open and get deleted once browser is closed:

• sessionstore-backups/recovery.baklz4
• sessionstore-backups/recovery.jsonlz4

No other files are related to sessions

I have "Open previous windows and tabs" checked

Installations:

• Windows 10
• Debian 12
• Debian 13 (Firefox 148.0 Snap)

On Firefox for Android, this issue doesn't happen, I can even see the whole browsing history including history lost on PC installations

Von der Erstinstallation war ich gewohnt, dass von oben nach unten die Darstellung der Ordner wie folgt war: Posteingang / Entwurf / Gesendet / Archiv / Spam / Papierkorb / Local Folders /Postausgang / Unbekannt Nach der neuen Installation, die erforderlich war (Rechnerneuinstallation) ergab sich folgendes Bild von oben... Lokale Ordner / Papierkorb / Local Folders und dann alle meine selbst erstellten Ordner am Ende dieser Aufstellung kam die Zeile mit meiner web-Adresse xxxx.xx@web.de dann Posteingang usw. siehe oben aufgeführt Damit liegt der Posteingang am Ende meiner Ordner Auflistung und das ist über den unteren Monitorausschnitt hinaus, diese Situation ist für mich untragbar und deshalb werde ich wohl auf ein anderes e-mail Verwaltungsmedium umsteigen müssen. Eine Kopiermöglichkeit um die Ersteinstellung zu erreichen war kläglich gescheitert und jetzt ist das Durcheinander noch größer beste Grüße B. Bein

I need to change some config settings to prevent some problems that corrupt the screen or crash Firefox on android almost every day. I found that using a Bluetooth reduces the frequency of these problems, but it still happens and is very frustrating.

I was really shocked and horrified to see Firefox place the Qatari regime's propaganda mouthpiece on my home screen. The Qatari regime is one of the worlds worst abusers of human rights. It allows no political parties, tolerates no criticism, and severely punishes online dissent. It has absolutely no LGBQ rights, is deeply misogynistic and antisemitic and uses slave labor extensively. Additionally, it is a known supporter of extremism and terrorism. It is not OK to push their propaganda outlet on the front page.

Last night I had an operating system update. Before the OS update, I closed all open apps, including Firefox. In the past, the session I closed the previous evening was restored. But this morning, all my pinned tabs and other open tabs are gone, and Restore Previous Session does not appear as an option on the dropdown menu. Recently Closed Tabs is pretty random, not really helpful. Recently Closed Windows only shows one tab that I opened this morning (probably a mistake on my part). Is there any way for me to retrieve the session from yesterday?

I have enabled the option to open the previous windows and tabs. I had one window that I always closed last as it had a lot of groups that are important for my work, so it used to open every time I started Firefox. Sometimes, even if I closed the window by mistake without closing other windows, I was able to get it back by pressing ctrl+shift+n.

But yesterday, I might have closed it by mistake and when I pressed ctrl+shift+n , it didn't come back. I wasn't able to access my window and now it's all gone. I don't see anything in recently closed windows in history.

I need those tabs back as they are very important for my work. they were a lot of tabs. I had many groups but now all are gone. I tried by using the previous.jsonlz4 in the sessionstore-backup by renaming it in the default-release profile as sesstionstore.jsonlz4 but still wasn't able to access my window.

I didn't clear my history as the tabs opened in the window still show up in the history.

Kindly help as soon as possible

Here's the error page I get from O'reilley Auto Parts when searching. (I don't get this error when on O'relley com, but ONLY when searching for a part and ONLY with Firefox on my desktop. This started just a few months ago. All ad blocks and U Block Origin are disabled):

I have left Shortcuts toggled on, since I want to see the 18 shortcuts that I have manually pinned. Fine so far.

I have unchecked Sponsored Shortcuts, but I still am seeing sponsored shortcuts added to my dashboard whenever I open a new article. What am I doing wrong?

I am now getting this message when I try to search for things at Lowes.

This has just started recently. I do not have this problem using Google Chrome. All other searches (Amazon, Ebay, Safeway, Walmart, et.al. are ok. Just who exactly is edgesuite? I am running Firefox on Windows 7.

Three days ago a window popped up asking me to update Firefox. I did and afterwards my personal bookmarks listing disappeared. I tried rebooting everything. No luck. I went to your website and followed all of your suggestions, but again nothing worked; mainly because I could not find on my computer the info the last step in your suggestions were asking for. (I did get a message several times telling me I was using an old Firefox profile. I tried to investigate, but each time your instructions told me to look for something as the last or next-to-last step, I ended not being able to find it on my computer. Again, I have tried everything. Please help me.
