I use Greek letters Omega (Ω) and mu (μ) in electronics discussion, where the Greek Omega (Ω) is the symbol for "ohms" of electrical resistance to the flow of current, and Greek mu (μ) stands in for "micro" or millionths of an ampere of current (1μA is 1/1000,000th of an ampere of current flow).

I sent an email to others and my email account on which I use Thunderbird Mail (version 115.13.0 on Linux Mint). I artfully spelled in all caps the word "Communicator," using the Ω sign in the place of "O" and the μ sign in the place of a "U." I received the word with this spelling: "C?MM?NICATOR"

Checking in Firefox on my Gmail account's Sent folder, I found the Greek letters in good order. Firefox can use UTF-8 encoding.

I found a solved thread on the Stack Exchange. Look under Tools • Options, as it is in Windows, but in Linux that's Edit • Preferences • Display. I have neither Options nor Preferences in this version of Thunderbird, nor can I find anything about setting encoding in Edit • Settings. I should set encoding from Western to UTF-8 on both incoming and outgoing mail to see foreign characters.

Some info about my installations of Firefox and Thunderbird here: In order to not lose my profile when I need to reinstall Linux for whatever reason, I have both Profiles stored on an outboard disk that is treated as a permanent disk on the system. This move also gives the profiles room to expand as needed

So I ask, "Where to from here?"

I've installed firefox with pacman on Linux, and I installed arkenfox. It did not work, I tried other user.js', none worked. I've also tried wiping my entire firefox root folder, then using arkenfox, but did not work.

Firefox should definitely add a dedicated option in the toolbar to make switching between profiles easier. Currently, the only way to do this is through the "about:profiles" tab, which is much less convenient than the profile switching options in other browsers

The Adobe Acrobat Add-On Extension for Firefox was missing so I attempted to add it from Adobe Acrobat Pro 2017. I have had to do this manually by installing from the adobe_acrobat-1.0-windows.xpi file. This usually has worked. When i tried to add it this time is said the add-on file was corrupt.

I tried uninstalling and redownlading AdobeAcrobatPro 2017 thinking this would add an uncorrupted file and got the same the same message. Unfortunately, because I had used the Adobe license key too many times for Acrobat 2017 on my computer I had to upgrade to Adobe Acrobat Pro 2020. i had hoped this would solve the problem. But no, I get the same message corrupt file message even with a new copy of the Acrobat Pro 2020.

What is going on? Can anyone help with this?

This is a new Dell Precision 3260 with Windows 11 and a 1st time install of Thunderbird 128.1.1esr (64-bit)

By default Write, Reply, Forward are missing which may or may not be correct.

However the "View"->"Toolbars" ->"Customize" page shows all the buttons available but when any one is selected it cannot be dragged or saved, it's as if the customize option has been disabled.

Also the blue Save icon is always greyed-out.

Any help much appreciated. Thank you

Hi, I want to use dark background color theme in the Mozilla Firefox PDF viewer, read here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1434510 but cannot find "userContent.css". My question is where can I find this file on a Windows 7 or Windows 10 installation?

Seemingly straightforward searches through the options like:

• "Reset firefox"
• "Clear cookies"
• "Empty cache"

None of these things pull up any results when searching the settings... Why?

I want to turn off the hover preview feature. First I went in settings, but that disabled only the thumbnail (browser.tabs.hoverPreview.showThumbnails in about:config is set to false and saved). Then I went in about:config and manually set browser.tabs.hoverPreview.enabled to false as well, that disables the unwanted feature completely.

But every time I restart the browser it's turned back to true (just hover.Preview.enabled, not hover.Preview.showThumbnails). Can I save my settings? It's annoying that I can't opt out.

I have gone to sites that already have my stored password. The saved password is not populating. I deleted the password. When I go back to the same site, it did not ask to save my password even though the option is selected is settings. This started after the recent update.

As I said in the title, the spellchecker add-on I use, LanguageTool, does not work on this site. I am not fine with that. What's the best way to get it working here? Any answers that amount to "you don't" are not acceptable.

How can I change my email address in Thunderbird? My current address (very old sympatico server) is defective and I cannot respond to mail I receive. I want to create a different email address and delete the old.

Every time I shut down Windows and start it again, Firefox looses all custom configuration and does not navigate on any site. Other browsers do it: Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge.

I have to go to Menu | Help | Technical Information and clear all of them AND I have to redo all my personalized configuration like: options, buttons, bars, tools and tabs, which I get from my backup (I use the extension: "Simple Tab Groups").

How to fix it? I use Firefox for decades and I have never had this issue.

Thank anyone for any enlightenment. Ivens

Hello guys !!

I wanted to disable the prefetching/preloaad pages and I found some entries on about:config that I had to change. Some of those are here on the official support site and some not, I found them on another forum.

Here's the list: network.prefetch-next (false)

network.dns.disablePrefetch (false)

network.dns.disablePrefetch.FromHTTPS (false)

network.http.speculative-parallel-limit (0)

browser.urlbar.speculativeConnect.enabled (false)

So, my questions are: 1. All these expect one "browser.urlbar.speculativeConnect.enabled" are available on android (nightly). Is there and i can't find it or it's indeed not available ??

2. Is the "network.http.speculative-parallel-limit" works only for http or it works and for https as well ?? Is there some setting to geti it to work for https if it doesn't ??

3. Is true that the "network.dns.disablePrefetch" and/or "network.dns.disablePrefetch.FromHTTPS" doesn't work (if i disable it) if i have turned on the dns over https ??

4. Are there other settings that I need to configurate or I'm good with these ??

Thanks in advance !!
