Up until recently, my default search engine was Google. I recently switched it to DuckDuckGo.

I regularly use Ctrl+k (hereinafter ctrlk) to popup the window to enter a URL to create a link in whatever web app I am using (Microsoft Office 365 apps, Reddit, Quora, etc.)

Suddenly, in when I used ctrlk to enter a URL for a title I highlighted in an email, the cursor bounced up to the Address Bar and selected it. I've tested it, and ctrlk works to open the URL window when I switch back to Google as my search engine--except when I am logged into my Mozilla account--ctrlk brings up the URL window.

Is there any way to turn off the ctrlk/Address Bar shortcut? As part of my job, I write job aids and emails that have lots of links embedded in them so, for me, this is an accessibility issue as it take fewer keystrokes to activate the URL window using the this shortcut, and just a single roll of my trackball to get from wherever I am on a page to the Address Bar the few times I may i need it while writing. (Between having nine functional fingers and severe arthritis in my hands, I am not exaggerating my use of the word "accessibility".)

Thanks for any assistance I can get on this!

Trying to download updates from Intel.com and as soon as I click the download button, Firefox just locks up and won't allow me to do anything. I have to basically shut down firfox through task manager to get the browser to work again. I have 139.04 which is the latest update for Firefox

A message to Mozilla if this is a bug how about fixing the problems that some people are having instead of consintration on implementing AI into Firefox as I want a browser that doesn't and isn't link to AI as many other people do as well as some if not most of us are sick to ther back teeth with everything having AI installed with in the programs.

Each time a video call comes in, the message on messenger, says Video calling is not supported on this browser. I've gone to the browser settings and cannot find anything that would change this. Help.

I just installed Thunderbird 139.0.2 on Mac OS Ventura 13.7.6 and set up my Exchange account. When I get the messages I do get a list of the messages.BUT when I click on a message, the message does not come up in the message pane. When I double click on a message a new empty pane opens. I can't see my messages. What am I doing wrong?

Getting "https://workspace.google.com/products/voice/" dozens of times at the top of browser. It shows as G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G across the top of browser. Getting sick of deleting each one. Will switch to a different browser soon.

Hi Guys, I have just installed Linux Mint 22.1 on a laptop and I am using Thunderbird for Linux Mint as my email program. The version of Thunderbird I have is 128.11.1esr(64bit). I cannot update Thunderbird to the latest version because it says "Updates disabled by your system administrator" How do I overcome this problem? Thank you.

Having trouble moving TB profile to new hard drive. HP Envy 360, Linux Mint 21.3 SSD crashed, but had a backup of the TB profile, not sure of the version of TB because of the crash. (and therefore can’t Export the files) Updated the computer with an M.2 stick and reinstalled Mint. Fine so far Installed TB, (which is 115.18), and have tried to copy and paste the old profile. Got the following message:

"A newer version of Thunderbird may have made changes to your profile which are no longer compatible with this older version..."

Have tried to import from the saved backup file, and got a red error message. Have tried to replace the Mail file of the new s2p4q…….. default with the Mail file of the backup. Have tried to Can’t figure out why clicking on the 93apdn…… default file only yields “times.json” (see attached pictures) Can’t figure out why in the new profile the 93apdn.. file isn’t the default, and not the s2p4q…

I feel the problem may be that I don’t understand why the 93apdn..default has (only) times.json, and that the .ini file lists it as the default.

It seemed so easy before, I never had to use Export/Import, it was so much easier to just replace the profile. I know it’s a known issue because others have mentioned it since an update of TB.

Any help welcome, thanks

Hello, I realized today that when I want to search in Firefox mobile on Google something and want to add something, that it's impossible especially if your last search contained only one word. If it contains more as one it will erase the space and merge the words. I usually use opera on mobile so I never had this problem, but sometimes do I use also Firefox and now did I saw this problem. I attached a video to this post (it won't be there forever, but I will try to let it there for a while).

The video shows when you searched for "Jeans" and want to expand it to "Jeans red" the word Jeans is erased, just gone, no editing possible. The end of the video shows,when you have multiple words like "skinny jeans in red" and you want to edit it or add something, the "in red" gets merged to "inred".

There is some strange behavior happening. My active extensions:

1. Dark reader
2. Ublock Origin
3. Auto scroll to top/bottom

Video: Google drive link with video

OOT: Btw: I dislike that you can't hold your finger here on a word to select it, I wanted to select my text to check my English through my translator. The editor doesn't allow Text selection by touch :( that is not nice. (Lol.... I could double tap the "oot" to select it and make it in caps,but now I can't do it again 🙃 very strange editor here!)

Have 5 email addresses with 2 different servers on my Thunderbird account...2 addresses with "maine.rr.com" and 3 with "gmail". Have no problem with the "gmail", but if try to make a "reply" to any "maine.rr" mail it is "server" rejected with message to "check SMTP settings AUP # Out-1500 and verify email address is correct in account settings". Have gone to account settings but cannot find. How so I resolve?

Hi all,

Filtering has always worked fine for me until recently. However, over the last few months I've noticed that any new filters I've setup don't work. Existing filters continue to work fine.

I've checked to see if there's an update but apparently I'm running the latest version: 128.11.1esr (32-bit)

Any ideas?

Thanks

Is there a way to protect selected cookies from being cleared when you need to clear cookies to access a web site? I don't like to lose the sign in cookies from sites I visit often.

Hi, I have set Firefox to automatically start at startup. But internet is not available when Firefox starts. Windows 11 now,10 before. After an update on 10 it no longer loaded internet before all other apps Is there a way within setting to delay the startup of Firefox. Basically every time windows starts I have to shut down Firefox and restart because I have multiple pages that open every time I start firefox? Since downgrading to Windows 11 it happens every time, on windows 10 sometimes it would be fine. Thanks in advance.

I tried installing the new release and lost my address book. It's on my mobile phone but not in my computer thunderbird. how do I get it from my phone to my computer?
