I receive links from a few sources (i.e. Wall Street Journal) that have lists of link’s to articles both on their webpage and their App.

If I have Safari as the default browser the link directs me to the app, where the full article is available. If I have Firefox as the default browser (which I prefer) it directs me to the web version, which is incomplete, as it requires a more expensive subscription to access the full content.

Why can’t Firefox link directly to the App if present on the device?

On certain websites, if i click on a link in the middle of a page (say I scrolled down some then clicked on a link), when i click on the back button, instead of going back to where i was on the page, it goes back to the top of the page, and i have to scroll back down to where i was. Very frustrating.

Thanks for your help!

I just sent an email and had to go back to it to check something (which I do a lot) and it does not show on my sent list. I can find it doing a search for it and I see it (and 3 others) under search and it says it is in sent file, but actually none of the 4 emails on this search now can be found in the sent folder. And they all did (but the one from tonight) 2 days ago.

I now wonder if other emails have been lost, and can be accessed only by doing a search. But I need to have the emails in the serch folder as I go back to many of them a lot and all the time. Now I will not be able to find them unless I can remember who i sent it to. And I wonder how many more of them are lost and I just have no idea.

Any ideas? Has there been an update in the last week??

What can I do to get these emails (and maybe many others) back?

And I just copied this message to save and put it in an email to myself and sent it and it is not there.

in firefox ios Settings>"Send Usage Data" is enabled.

I was looking up a Kinder candy product called "Happy Hippo" yesterday afternoon, and briefly surfed around a website for a weird American supplement company with the same name that also came up in the search results. (Just out of curiosity trying to figure out what the supplement they were selling even was.)

That supplement company subsequently showed up in my inbox this morning offering me a discount code. And to state the obvious: I ABSOLUTELY did not give this sketchy supplement company my email address while on their site.

I would be alarmed to find any company tracking me to my inbox after simply browsing their website for less than two minutes, but for it to happen after using Firefox Focus, I'm also dismayed.

I've already unsubscribed from their mailings and sent a strongly worded email about the invasion of internet user privacy, but half the problem must also lie on Firefox Focus' end. I don't know who can look for bugs or loopholes that would have let this happen, but hopefully reporting it here will start that process.

Since attempting to sync my desktop and mobile app, I've been observing (at times beside myself with frustration) consistent failure of the password manager to have logins available at time of need. In fact, when I go to find the saved passwords manually from settings>logins & passwords>saved logins, the page comes up blank. No saved logins, no passowords, nothing at all.

When it would auto sync or I would manually hit the sync button, it would hang and take more time than I was willing to spend watching to finish. Then there would be problems with web pages not saving current progress & rolling back tens of minutes to a previously seen point, as if I had scrolled up and/or hit the back button a few times. Or tabs would disappear and their site history ghosting me, as if I had never been there before (I suspect after I've spent time on another app & Firefox falls out of the phone's memory, but I'm only tangentially informed on how phone hardware operates and I'm making a somewhat educated guess here (the most dangerous kind)).

I have found a workaround, i.e. close and restart the Firefox app. But this is an understandably annoying solution to perform every time I need to log in to a website. Besides that it isn't supposed to work this way, this solution only works for an indeterminate time before the password manager once more eats lead and fails to perform its duty and the app must be manually restarted again.

I believe I've since turned off sync, but a quick check on mobile shows it was synced 3 minutes ago (though all the boxes under "choose what to sync" are unchecked), so I'm unsure if it's really off or if it's trying to sync nothing and this is where the problem has diverged from whatever started this disaster. I don't care about syncing anymore, I just want my mobile experience to once again be effortless. As much as possible. Within reason.

1. I have automatic updates set for Thunderbird. Recently, it updated to 115.9.0. After this update, all but one of my multiple email folders disappeared. I have searched for days trying to find a solution. I added in two of my email folder names and manually entered the incoming and outgoing information. I now open my Thunderbird application today and all the folders are listed, including the 2 duplicates. The 2 duplicates have a different number of messages than the other 2. 2. I can not find where to be able to view the header and the message underneath. I have to click on each message to see if I want to keep it or not; then close; then delete. 2. how can I sort the email folders? This is a nightmare for me as I have more than 10 email folders to manage.

In French ('English underneath) J'essaye d'organizer mes marque pages 1)Je tape sur supprimer, la page revient à la prochaine application 2)Je crée un dossier. Dans des versions anterieures de Firefox, on pouvait simplement bouger les fiches avec controle>fleche jusqu'a le dossier. (Il n,y avait pas le separateur <autres marques pages>) Avant l'essai de reorganization, <autres marques pages> contenait la plupart des fiches, les marques pages normales (bouton >>je presume) contenait seulement une demi douzaine choisis au hazard. Apres l'installation des dossiers, <autres marque pages> contient seulement les dossiers, bouton >> toutes les fiches. Il est impossible de transferer de bouton >> jusqu'a <autres marque pages>, afin d'incluire les fiches dans un dossier.

I am trying to organize my bookmarks. 1)I press the delete button, the page comes back next time I open the computer 2)I create a file folder. In previous versions of Firefox ,there was no separator between bookmarks (button>> I assume) and <other bookmarks>, and one could transfer a file into a folder using control and the arrow. Before I tried to organize the bookmarks, <other bookmarks>for some reason contained nearly all my files, the button >> only a few chosen at hazard. Having created file folders, <other bookmarks> contains the folders, button >> all the files. It is impossible to transfer from button>> into the folders in <other bookmarks>.

I'm not entirely certain what to list this under... Mozilla Firefox updated a few weeks ago, not entirely certain which version started this issue. However, in the past, when I go to log into my Capital One app on iOS, the password function with Firefox on my iOS keyboard would automatically identify the Capital One login page through the app, and suggest my Capital One password accordingly.

Nowadays, after whichever update it was, now I have to type Capital One into the search bar for the password function. The password page also doesn't come up on dark mode, even though it did in the past, and my system settings are set to have everything in dark mode. Therefore, I'm wondering if it is user error or some thing that needs to be fixed on the back end.

Uninstalled and reinstalled both the Capital One and the Firefox app, as well as restarting my phone (iPhone 13). Nothing has changed. Thanks for your help.
