all tabs failing to play; is this a profile grep e unlock issues; GROK 5 linux ubuntu link action: terminal commands: ps aux | grep -i firefox ; kill -9 those PIDS; is the number one cause of firefox silently failing to relaunch after a hard kill

Hey folks and folkins.

I save all my passwords to my firefox.

I created a password for privileged access to my firefox at configuration time at some service. Recently (about half a year ago!) I created a new user at the same service (the same domain). The new login was used two times and is now stalled to log-in. It was simply a monitoring user.

Each time I visit the domain I get prompted with the monitoring user instead. I can not simply focus the username and select my previous user from the drop-down. Nor does firefox-password learn my preference (which is a good thing, I guess).

Nonetheless: I have to delete the username, write the first character of my user and then I can select my password. I find it cumbersome since I do this multiple times a day.

Imho there are privacy solutions which could be applied. I don't see any existing options in the UI.

Sincerly, Thomas

I'm finding more and more sites no longer work using Firefox. I've confirmed all software is up to date, and tried different settings such as turning off ad , tracker and fingerprinting protections, but nothing works. Even sites at which I have an account have stopped working. Sometimes I can still log in to the account, on others I can't even do that. If I can log in, using the account for what it's intended such as searching for and saving lists of things or following links to saved items doesn't work. I value Firefox for it's security and privacy features, and being able to sync saved information in the account and across devices, but if a site won't all that benefit disappears.

Started OBS Vitrual Camera option. in Firefox the camera is no listed.

https://webrtc.github.io/samples/src/content/getusermedia/gum/

only shows phyiscal cams.

How can virtual cameras listed in Firefox?

``` $ v4l2-ctl --list-devices --all OBS Virtual Camera (platform:v4l2loopback-000):

       /dev/video0

SandbergCapture: SandbergCaptur (usb-0000:07:00.0-1):

       /dev/video1
       /dev/video2
       /dev/media0

```

but OBS Virtual Camera is not listed

Hello,

I'm having an authentication issue with Thunderbird on Fedora when trying to add a second Microsoft account.

My main @outlook.com account works without any problems using IMAP/SMTP and OAuth2. However, I can't get my @outlook.fr account to work.

For the @outlook.fr account, I'm using:

IMAP: outlook.office365.com, port 993, SSL/TLS, OAuth2 SMTP: smtp.office365.com, port 587, STARTTLS, OAuth2

When I add the account, the Microsoft login page opens normally. I sign in with the @outlook.fr account, complete 2FA, and Microsoft confirms that the account has been successfully connected to Thunderbird.

However, as soon as I return to Thunderbird, I get an authentication error saying that it was unable to log in to outlook.office365.com with that username.

I've already tried clearing Thunderbird's saved passwords, cookies, and web cache. I also confirmed that IMAP is enabled in Outlook web settings, checked the account aliases/sign-in preferences, and verified the server names and ports.

Since the Microsoft authentication itself completes successfully, I'm not sure why Thunderbird fails immediately afterwards. The same setup works with my @outlook.com account, so the problem seems to be specific to the second account.

Has anyone encountered this before, or is there anything else I should check?

Thanks.

I have had the situation where the FF browser VPN extension has dropped out, the warning pops up, whatever programs are open cycle through and briefly steal focus and the last video I played in VLC has started to play, this has happened a few weeks ago on a Win10 that has extended suppoirt and today on Linux Mint.

How can I make sure the Vertical Tabs sidebar stays visible in full screen mode?

It worked this way by default until the [154.0 release](https://www.firefox.com/en-US/firefox/154.0/releasenotes/#note-792047):

> Fixed the Vertical Tabs sidebar staying visible in full screen mode. It now hides along with the toolbars and reappears when the cursor moves to the edge of the screen.

Is there a config setting that re-enables the old behavior? I want the address bar to be hidden in full screen mode, but not the Vertical Tabs sidebar.

hello: for several weeks, each time I tried to add another account back to Thunderbird, MS asked for the verification, and after I added it to link to their server, it kept telling me, "Help us beat the robot," and nothing else happened; the screen stayed blank. I am unable to see any further command. If it is being done using Windows, often you may see holding down the space bar or solving a puzzle to gain access. When it comes to Linux, I ran into this issue.

This is strange! Maybe it is trying to stop me from using this account on this platform to get all my mail here. I've been using it here for many years and no issues. Please see the attached. Please look into this. Thank you....

Thunderbird 1 of 7 working Spectrum email accounts stopped retrieving email. Tried to setup the account on new computer and it will to connect to Spectrum's mail server. Able to setup the other 6 on new install Tried under windows and Linux same problem.

I have an email account that was establish 30 years ago that suddenly stop working in Thunderbird but it is accessible through Spectrum's web server.

Spectrum wants me to verify Thunderbird is not the problem. Sounds like passing the buck to me.

I need some help with this one.

Using: Linux Mint 22.3 - Cinnamon 64-bit 7.0.0-29-generic Nemo 6.6.3 Thunderbird 153.1.0esr (64-bit) - but it has happened in the previous two releases which is when I first tried.

As per title, when trying to save an attachment I have a number of locations on directory trees at least 5 deep on networked shares (SMB). Attempting to access these via the favourites entry in the file dialogue does not work.

I use favourites to get round having to trawl through the structure each time I'm accessing very frequently used places. This works with everything I have tried so far, but it does not seem to work with Thunderbird.

I get the following two errors:

If I just click an entry in the favourites folder I get a dialogue as in screenshot 1. If I right click the entry and then select open in file manager I get a dialogue as in screenshot 2.

The shares are attached using Gigolo, so I presume this uses GVFS to mount them but what effect that has to programs is beyond my knowledge.

I can use the shares to save something from Thunderbird if I use the same file dialogue but then access the location via the "other locations" (see screenshot 3) , then select the correct network drive and track through to the same directory, so the issue appears to be that Thunderbird can't use the favourites function, not that it can't access the directory itself.

Anyone any ideas?

An 8 second delay when I open Firefox for the first time.. Once it has been opened once, it reopens immediately when required. The problem has been present since I installed Linux Mint 9 months ago, Linux Mint 22.2 then, since upgraded to 22.3 Zena. I can live with it, but it is very frustrating! I have tried the obvious things like removing extensions, but I suspect it is a "Linux" connectivity problem rather than a "Mozilla" problem.

My Firefox browser has just been updated .. not by me but somehow .. to 140.11.Oesr(64-bit) Its completely messed up all my settings .. why? Its taken me the best part of this morning to sort everything out . All my bookmarks were not displayed, the web pages that should have been displayed on startup weren't.. and to cap it all the "Done" button is hidden at the bottom of the page .. and why is it needed  ? all other setting just need to be changed to set them. Its so annoyed me that I've downloaded Chrome. and I'm using Opensuse Leap!

My Message Source displays text in very large Liberation Mono. I can't find a setting anywhere, including Advanced Preferences. Where can I change that?

Liberation Mono is the font I have set for monospace in different languages. Since it is not the default, there may be a connection there.

Also, since yesterday when I reply to certain HTML messages, the font used for quoted text is again large size Liberation Mono. I haven't changed anything, so I suspect it's a bug in new 152.0.1.

Hi All,

I was writing an email, and completed a spell check where I had written "inital" instead of initial. I clicked on replace with Initial as I have done with many errors in the past, but this time the change wasnt made to the text before the email was sent.

Now, whenever I write inital as a test, it is no longer underlined in red and the spell checker is happy with it.

I have checked the personal dictionary list to see if I added it by mistake but its empty. Also, If I choose another english dictionary i.e. English (United Kingdom) it is once again recognised as a typo.

Is there a way for me to remove and reinstall the Australian English dictionary, or is there an easier solution I can try?

I am a relative newcomer to Linux but can follow terminal directions if provided. Thanks for your help!

Need an update for the update. My Mozilla settings say my operating system (Ubuntu 22.04) handles the updates, and it's a deadend. I can only use my browser for one minute before it freezes.

I'm working with Thunderbird 152.0 on linux (Manjaro GNOME). I've been having this issue where sometimes while composing a reply, the quoted text of the email I'm replying to in the body of my current reply will be displayed as black on the dark background. It's very annoying when I need to look at specific text to refer to in my message.

Some more observations: - This is not a new issue, it's been happening for quite a while now, possibly years, but it's finally gotten to a point where I want to fix it. - It does not always happen. I suspect it's when the original message I'm replying to has been formatted in html first, whereas I prefer plain text replies.

I've attached an image of what it can look like on my end, as well as one where I select the text to show the contents.

Is there anything that can be done about it?
