This is my story. Digital affairs are serious problems for a marriage, although sometimes, they are also a symptom of underlying problems. Either way, you may quickly end up needing a divorce lawyer’s assistance if you do not put a fast halt to what is happening. Previously, traditional notions of infidelity required an actual physical relationship between an unfaithful spouse and their romantic partner. Thanks to the chxhack @gmailcom who helped me to dig into the communications of my husband platforms like his phone and social media, that i discovered that he was hacking extra affair and i got all the records of the communications and i was able to save my marriage. therefore if you are experiencing such worries get intouch with above. thank you.

As from v100.0, Firefox allows users to "set their preferred color schemes for websites".

Ironically, this does not addresses complaints from users, including me, who wish for a consistent Light theme all across Firefox.

Even if "Web site appearance" is set as Light, the following still remain dark:

  • Background of main drop-down menu (Containing "Sync and save data", "New tab", "Print", "Settings", etc)
  • Background of right-click menu (Containing the refresh icon, "Save page as", "View page source", etc)
  • Background of "Please enter primary password" menu
  • Background of auto-filled user name and password menus
  • Background of elements in a bookmark folder
  • Background of Downloads menu
  • Background of Print menu
  • Background of "Clear all history" menu
  • Background of "Find on this page" menu
  • Background of "You are about to close X tabs" warning menu
  • Colour of title bar for "About Mozilla Firefox" window, when the window is not currently active

Being able to set "browser.theme.toolbar-theme" permanently as 2 would fix all of the above, but users are still (Note: Since v96.0, when this complaint was raised) prevented from doing so. Why?

So this morning (5/4/2022) I start the computer (desktop) Win 10 Pro, 64 bit and Firefox will not connect.

Checks: I verified that my phone connects to my wireless; I verified that email is connecting; I verified that Chrome is connecting.

I did the following:

I refreshed Firefox -> Firefox will not connect I started Firefox in troubleshoot mode -> Firefox will not connect I uninstalled and then restarted my computer and then reinstalled -> Firefox will not connect

Further, the once working about:config update to reinstate compact menus has no effect (why not test for a mobile OS before expanding the menus...?) Regardless, this secondary for the moment.

What to next is a mystery to me. Firefox has become so troublesome that it is almost not worth it to continue fighting with it.

Hi,

In the parameters, I chose to let Firefox ask me every time what to do with PDF files. But, when the window pop up and I click "Open with ... Firefox", the browser download and open with Firefox the PDF instead of only showing it in Firefox. When I set the "Open with firefox" by default in the parameters, Firefox will this time directly open the PDF in the browser instead of downloading it.

Are you aware of this bug ? Is there a solution ?

Thank you very much !

On my old (Intel based) MacPro Zoho email works fine. On my new M1 chip MacPro when I first open Zoho, or open an email, the page does not render properly at first (buttons/links don't work etc). After a delay it refreshes and shows properly. The delay depends on how fast my internet is - in the evening it can be a minute or so. Even when the internet is good I still get 2 versions of a page with a pause in between.

I tried on Safari and it works fine - which makes me think this is a Firefox issue.

I have some screen shots but when I click the browse button below I can select a file then it just endlessly shows working. I will have to email these to you separately

Thanks Phil.

I just installed firefox on a linux machine, and spontaniously, I keep getting a message pop up toward the top of the screen saying: "To play videos, you may need to install the video codecs".

This occurs when I am not even trying to play videos. I can play youtube videos fine. I don't need to install anything. It normally occurs when I am checking my outlook email, but can happen at any time.

So my question is, how do I stop this message from coming up? Prefereably WITHOUT installing some codec that I do not currently need.

Another message that comes up is an offer to install an outlook extension to my browser, but this is triggered by opening outlook email. I have no need for this either, so it would be nice to get rid if this message popping up as well.

Thanks

I was in two minds whether to post this i not as quite minor really, that said Thunderbird will be my default email client on several machines so may as well get Q's out of the way.

Changed the font size for emails and folder text which is spot on, the only other thing would be to have the title bars or column headers (subject, correspondent, date and so on) in bold as a quick glance makes them seem part of the emails.

This option is probably available similar to changing the font inside config file but I may not be searching for the right thing, 'headers' returns results for the actual message format.

On another note, in case this pops up later on, while dragging icons from the toolbar selection tray the 'delete' button didn't quite make it, the button is no longer in the tray (as an option) or on the menu ?

Many thanks all

For weeks, I have been searching everywhere for a definitive method for transferring my Thunderbird 91.8.1 profile to a new PC. There are lots of posts mainly covering windows applications and older versions of Thunderbird. One reoccurring problem seems to be that some installations have 2 profiles. Some have a profile with just a xxxxxxxx.default profile and others have a xxxxxxxx.default-release and a xxxxxxxx.default profile. It would appear that if you have the 2 profiles then the .default-release would be the one you would use for transferring to a new PC. I was wondering if some one could lead me to a current definitive procedure, for transferring a Linux based Thunderbird 91.8.1 profile, from one PC to new Linux PC . What to do if you have the 2 profiles? Can you just delete the yyyyyyyy.default profile?

Perhaps some one could comment on the following procedure that I have cobbled together from the myriad of posts that I have read.


THIS IS MY VERSION (UNPROVEN) Transfer Thunderbird (91.8.1) profile to new PC [v_4]

On your SOURCE computer [Linux Mint Cinnamon 20.3]

       1. Connect a device for data transfer, either a USB flash drive, or a USB SSD/HDD drive. 
       2. Open the Home directory and click the “View tab” then check the box “Show Hidden Files”.

       3. You should find a directory called .thunderbird. 
       4. Open .thunderbird and look for the folder, xxxxxxxx.default-release. Note; the x represents a string of 8 random alpha/numerical text. 
       5. Right-click on the xxxxxxxx.default-release folder and select Copy.
       6.  Paste a copy of xxxxxxxx.default-release to your transfer device. Remove it safely from the source computer when done. 
       7. Uncheck the “Show Hidden Files” tab that you checked in step 2.

Note: a) These steps can also be used to create a backup of your Thunderbird profile folder.

         b) In step 4, you may not find a default-release folder. You may see a xxxxxxxx.default or  
             both. Choose the one that is active.


On your DESTINATION computer [Linux Mint Cinnamon 20.3]

       1. Open thunderbird and then close it. A new profile will be created yyyyyyyy.default-release, or .yyyyyyyy.default.
       2. Locate and open the backed-up profile folder, xxxxxxxx.default-release.
       3. Select all of the folder contents and choose Copy. 
       4. Locate and open the new profile folder,  yyyyyyyy.default-release.
       5. Paste the contents of the backed up profile folder into the new profile folder. Choose to overwrite existing files of the same name. 
       6. Start Thunderbird.

Came out of Win10 mail, moved to Thunderbird. (Good decision). After much screaming and kicking I managed to get my address book info out to a text file, formatted as CSV. Very simple, 3 fields: firstname,lastname,emailname@emailaddrs comma delimited.

Used the Import function, aligned 3 fields with the input data, done. It created a file called "email contacts". All of the addresses came in. Then it got kind of strange. When I open the that file it only shows 2 columns. Col1 is "NAME", Col2 is "EMAIL" Col2 is correct but Col1 shows the emailname only snipped off of the full email address. If I open any entry in the address book with the EDIT button, the first name and last name are there, so the import worked. So the question is: How do I get the top level of the address book to display the firstname, lastname? Did I do something wrong on the import? I can't seem to find any way to add columns or re-arrange the display. The "select columns to display" menu doesn't have any choice that I recognize. I can re-format the source file any way I need to, is there a better structure for import? Advise needed.

Hello, I just installed windows 10 on my nephews computer. I installed firefox so I don't have to use edge, but firefox won't start. It just flashes. I have tried re-installing firefox, deleted all mozilla and firefox files and folders and clean installed firefox, even reinstalled windows. Troubleshoot mode don't work, it just flashes too. I checked for Crash Reports, but there are none. The only time it works is when windows is in safe mode, I even upgraded to computer to windows 11 hoping that it would fix what ever is going on. But it didn't. I honestly have no idea what to do next. Firefox has worked on that computer before. Everything else works fine, it's just firefox that won't work. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
