Hi,

I have for some time (over a year) been using a remote server as a SOCKS5 proxy for Firefox so I can bypass my local ISPs filtering.

The proxy connection is setup using an SSH tunnel like this:

ssh -D 8080 -q -C -N -f root@<remote server> That sets up port 8080 on my local machine to listen for connections which will be forwarded to ssh on the remote server acts as aSOCKS4/SOCKS5 proxy.

    -D [bind_address:]port
            Specifies a local “dynamic” application-level port forwarding.  This works by allocating a socket
            to listen to port on the local side, optionally bound to the specified bind_address.  Whenever a
            connection is made to this port, the connection is forwarded over the secure channel, and the
            application protocol is then used to determine where to connect to from the remote machine. 
            Currently the SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 protocols are supported, and ssh will act as a SOCKS
            server. 

Tried it today and it doesn't work any more. I've attached a picture of my Firefox Proxy settings and a picture of the Firefox version I am currently running. plus a picture of the error I get when I try to access the BBC website using Firefox via the proxy.

I've tried all combinations of "Proxy DNS when using SOCKS v5" and "Enable DNS over HTTPS" with no effect. I've also tried it from "Troubleshooting Mode" and the same thing happens.

I also tried accessing https://www.bbc.co.uk through the same proxy by using the command:

curl --silent --location --socks5 localhost:8080 https://www.bbc.co.uk

and it worked perfectly.

I'd be grateful if you could have a look at it and let me know what is wrong.

Thanks, Alan

Hey, so I've just spent the past weekend attempting to troubleshoot this issue and nothing is working.

The issue: Firefox either crashes (only Linux) or slows down drastically alongside a CPU temp spike (Linux and Windows). Temps are 25 Celsius at idle, 30-40 while using Firefox for the first few minutes, and then it spikes up to 55-65 Celsius and never drops back down to normal unless I close the browser. Chromium-based browsers like Chrome, Brave, Edge all run fine with no crashes, no slow down, and normal temps.

Things I've tried to troubleshoot the issue:

  • Reinstalled Firefox
  • Tried troubleshoot mode
  • Updated drivers
  • Enabled and disabled hardware acceleration
  • Made some configurations (media.ffmpeg.vaapi.enabled set to true, accessibility.force_disabled set to 1)
  • Tried both Wayland and Xorg on Linux, changed the window protocol to wayland instead of xwayland
  • Changed operating systems (Fedora, Arch Linux, Windows 10)
  • Reinstalled Fedora and Arch
  • Disabled XMP profile in BIOS
  • Performed Memtest (no errors)

And a few of my crash reports:

Perhaps I'm spending too much time into this but I really want to know what is causing this and whether it's pertaining to my hardware or Firefox itself. Any help appreciated.

Hi - I'm using TB on Ubuntu 22.04, on a Lenovo X1 Yoga laptop. When I don't have an additional monitor connected, TB displays everything at a sensible size on the laptop screen. But as soon as I connect a 24" monitor (configured as an extended desktop), the TB window on the laptop screen changes so that all the text, message lists, everything is tiny - too small to be usable. View->Zoom is disabled (except when viewing the Settings screen), and changing the default font size makes no different to anything. As soon as I disconnect the external monitor, the TB window on the laptop screen immediately reverts to being a sensible size again. If I drag the TB window onto the external monitor screen, it remains unreadably small, but with more illegible items in the mailbox and message lists. Both screens have the same pixel resolution (1920x1080), but are very different sizes (13"/24"). and therefore use different DPIs. It seems likely that this is the cause of the problem - but how can I get TB to display at a sensible size on the laptop screen when I have the other screen connected? Grateful for any help! Thanks Nik PS - why is Zoom disabled when mailboxes or messages are selected? If it doesn't zoom, what's the point of it?

Hello:

Color changes were simple when using an old Thunderbird (around 68. or so) but after embarking on an update process (now 102.6.0) the color choices quit working.

I can select a color during the composition phase and the color shows. If I look at the message after it is sent (in the sent folder), the color change(s) do NOT show. Everything is black. Also, there is no color change shown in the message that is received.

I've tried changed HTML preference changes, to 'never' override colors, to use (or not) system colors...no change I make to the composition settings have made a difference. TB knows I am changing colors because those color changes do happen in the composition window.

What am I missing?

Thanks.

Suggestions for Firefox for Android

Since the built-in password manager is not good enough in terms of security and functionality, (and I don't think it will be good enough for the foreseeable future), it would actually be a good idea to build an app instead of the built-in one, or to choose a third party app as a partner as an official recommendation, and so forth.

I find the browser's ad-blocking features to be very unorganized, repetitive, and not easy to use. I wish you could build a comprehensive enough and personalized built-in pan-ad blocker.

And please allow the beta version's custom "add-ons collection" to be added to the official version

Anyway, there are many problems and many solutions, I hope Firefox will be better and better.

Thanks.

Hi there, I`m using Thunderbird for a year now and I was pretty happy with it. Then a couple of weeks ago I made the mistake to do an update. Since then all PDF-Attachments are opened in Chrome. Thunderbird doesn`t care anymore what program you set in the attachment settings. It only uses Chrome to open PDFs. Then I deleted the "actions" for PDFs in the settings to try to make new ones. But now they are gone and theres no button like "add new rule/action"!?

Does anybody know a solution to this?

Thank you

Every time I open Thunderbird it automatically downloads new e-mails from my internet service and deletes everything that was already in my in-box. The first time it did that the old e-mails were completely lost. Since then they have gone into the trash, so they can be retrieved, but I'm getting really sick and tired of having to dig everything out of the trash all the time, every single time. I thought there might be something in the settings to control this but I can't find anything there. I find myself using webmail all the time to avoid Thunderbird, but I got Thunderbird in the first place because I want an e-mail program on my computer. Is there a way to get Thunderbird under control? Or is this standard Thunderbird behavior and I should just start looking for a new e-mail program?

Thunderbird version 102.5.0 (64-bit) Debian 11 (Bullseye) KDE Plasma 5.20.5

I am trying to insert a HTML signature to my new messages. The HTML file contains a link to the signature file.

When I try to compose the message I get this message: "Thunderbird has blocked a file from loading into this message. Unblocking the file will include it in your sent message." There is a button "Preferences". When I click it, the message says: Unblock file:///home/xxx/yyy/zzz/artwork/email_sign_20160719.png

When I click Unblock, nothing happens.

I have tried to compose manually a new email and insert this image. Menu -> Insert -> Image -> Chose file. Chose the same file.

Same error message and no result when allowing / unblocking this image.

In Settings -> Privacy -> Mail Content -> Allow remote content in messages is checked. There is no exception blocking local file content.

I have added an exception, allowing everything starting with file:/// . No result.

In config editor I have mailnews.message_display.disable_remote_image set to false.

I am out of solutions. This is far beyond a simple method to allow me to attach an image in a signature.
