Is there a way to open Thunderbird in a tab in Firefox?
I'm trying to find a way to open Thunderbird in Firefox, rather than a stand-alone window.

See attached image. All my desktop url icons turned to a black firefox icon. I hate this, hard to see etc. I liked the standard firefox icon. I know I could change these one by one but I have over 70 on my desktop and want to change all back at once. Something changed them all from standard to this black icon all at once. I appreciate your help. Thanks Steve

Since the last update, Firefox opens with AOL.com. I have opened the page I want to use as my home page (Google.com) and dragged the icon to the homepage symbol. I have gone into options and checked use current page, I have typed Google.com into the open with page box. Nothing works. I have never used AOL.com as my home page, and only use it about every 3-4 months to clean up old emails.

I've used Eudora since Qualcomm initially created the software and have loved the old sucker. But I've also used TBird often to update Eudora OSE. I continue to use OSE because TBird will not open "new" messages to existing folders in a new tab. In other words, a new message comes in from "Frank", and the "Frank" folder opens in a new tab with Eudora OSE. Messages that do not have filters simply go into the "Inbox". I've searched high and low for years, even read old threads that address this specific feature. But none of the threads include a resolve - just "something" that "may" function in a similar fashion, but not the same. To me, since Mozilla has the rights to OSE, it would seem simple to include the code to do the same "open new messages in a new tab" as does OSE. I'd be happy to inject the code myself - if I could find the code that makes that work. Is there an add-on or extension or code that will provide the same functionality as OSE in opening a new message from "Frank" in "Frank's" folder tab? I'm not sure if I'm using the terminology that will "spark" the correct answer from support, but I'm willing to answer any questions necessary to get on the same page. Thanks.
Why when i open the first email and attempt to open the second, do I get returned to the Inbox - local folders?
This is happening in Thunderbird, not a show stopper just annoying.
Isn't sharing browser fingerprint without user consent illegal (in relation to GDPR)?

Dear Mozilla,
First, please know that I am a fervent defender of freedom and that for this reason, I try to only use Firefox as a web browser. I think that you have done an outstanding job so far and I encourage you to continue in this direction. I am grateful that organisations like yours exist.
The following is thus not so much criticism: you should much more consider it as suggestions and maybe as a list of (arguably) potential law breaches which you might want to address. Please note that I am no lawyer and that I might be wrong in the way I interpret the GDPR or parts of it. Please also note that I am an experienced software engineer, with more than a decade of web app development and design experience.
In the context of GDPR, I think that sending "browser fingerprint" information to website servers without receiving user consent for every single website is illegal processing of data - either from Mozilla's Firefox or from the website itself (I don't know for sure).
I would enjoy seeing in Firefox a feature which would allow users to avoid browser fingerprinting. I would like to decide by myself what data the browser shares and with which website it shares the data.
According to GDPR, consent must be a positive, well described, easily understandable action done by the user. Thus, by default, sharing any data with a website other than what is strictly required should be disabled until the user specifies his consent.
Of course, keeping proof and records of consents should also be done.
By the way, web browsing works: - without sharing the list of system fonts - this is not essential and is thus subject to user's consent. - without sharing the screen size and colour depth - this is not essential and is thus subject to user's consent. - without sharing browser plugin detail - this is not essential and is thus subject to user's consent. - without sharing hash of canvas fingerprint - this is not essential and is thus subject to user's consent. - without allowing supercookies at all - this is not essential and is thus subject to user's consent. - without sharing the timezone - this is not essential and is thus subject to user's consent. - without sharing the Hash of WebGL fingerprint - this is not essential and is thus subject to user's consent. - without sharing the platform (Linux, windows...) - this is not essential and is thus subject to user's consent. - without sharing the user agent - this is not essential and is thus subject to user's consent. - without sharing touch support - this is not essential and is thus subject to user's consent. - without specifying if cookies are enabled or disabled - this is not essential and is thus subject to user's consent.
These features are often not really useful to implement web applications, and many web applications could be or are implemented without these.
I know that this is an incredibly complicated matter, as it would mean that it would break some features of websites, but that is what is required by the GDPR.
This kind of feature would enable users to regain control of their data (and here, it is data that most users ignore that they share).
If any website of Mozilla collects this data, I would also recommend that you require explicit user consent before you collect it and process it in any way.

I don't receive the confirmation email on my Fastmail account, and when I click on "Not in inbox or spam folder? Resend", I get a message highlighted in red "Your email was just returned".
Note that I contacted Fastmail's support and they don't have any trace of the mail: they think it never reached their server.
Also note that I was able to create an account for this forum using the same email: I did get the confirmation email.
Is my email blacklisted somewhere in some way ? Is there a way to get it out ?
Thank you very much for your time.

I want to create an entirely new Mailing list for a different set of addresses that I don't normally mail to. Can anyone help me? I'd like the list to be as I create the addresses (alphabetically). This doesn't seem possible. Help!

Frequently when I am typing a message in Thunderbird, the cursor will stop responding for several seconds and then will abruptly catch up all at once with the characters that I was typing. Also I try selecting a message (which has already been downloaded) and the program stops responding to input for several seconds until the message pane updates. (Nothing like this happens with other programs like Word or Notepad.) I have already restarted with add-ons disabled but that did not fix it.
This happened in previous versions of Thunderbird but it seems like it's gotten worse with the latest update.
text size is to small email.
The text is so small in my email task bar and message list I can barely read it.

Whenever I try to load a youtube video - either embedded or directly through youtube.com, the tab will crash and present "Gah. Your tab just crashed." The issue does not occur on other video streaming sites, and it does not occur in other browsers. The only plugins I have installed are Adblock Plus and RES - neither of which should affect YouTube.
I am on Firefox 60.0.1 and I was using this version of Firefox without issue. The problem only manifested after installing a new graphics card (Vega 64) - I was previously using integrated graphics. Before installing the new drivers I did remove all display drivers, and I made sure to install the new drivers while disconnected from the internet so Windows 10 wouldn't try to auto-install anything. Other apps/games are functioning as expected with the new graphics card.
Here's what I've done so far:
- cleared cache, cookies
- disabled hardware acceleration in options>performance
- in about:config, set 'browser.tabs.remote.autostart = false' - though this will make the Firefox app crash, not just the tab. I do not have a 'browser.tabs.remote.autostart2' setting
- uninstalled Firefox, cleared %APPDATA%/Firefox, reinstalled Firefox
- repeated the previous steps with the new install of Firefox
Here's my recent crash reports:
