Hi there!

I'm using Firefox Nightly version 88.0a1 (2021-03-19) (64-bit) at the moment. And I couldn't help but notice that the native screenshot option is absent from my adress bar menu.

It is avaiable at the customization options, but I don't know if it's possible to get it back "inside" the address bar.

Can someone help me out?

I changed the email address for my Firefox Account today, which involved entering my password. The password was not recognized, despite having been used without any problems in the past, and being stored unchanged in my password manager.

I managed to reset the password using my Recovery Key, logged in with it successfully, then tried to create a new Recovery Key to replace the now obsolete one. The process failed at the first step, however, claiming an incorrect password. I reset once more, again logged in with it successfully, and yet again I get an incorrect password error when trying to generate a new Recovery Key.

Obviously the password is working fine as I've successfully used it to log into this Support forum.

What could be the issue here?

Hi Until recently I was using Live Mail and could archive emails I needed to keep in named subject folders e.g mobile phone bills. I found this very useful but I do not seem to be able to do this with Thunderbird. Archiving according to date and not subject will not be much use to me as I have still to migrate all my archived folders from Live Mail. Is there any way I can set up subject folders to archive emails? If there is could you make the instructions very simple please - I am not very tech savvy. Many thanks for your help Veronica Bennett

Bear with me there's a bit of a story.

One of the apps I most use is MightyText. It allows me to send texts from my desktop computer's web browser. When FireFox automatically updated to the newest version, something didn't work right and MightyText stopped being able to connect.

My workaround was to use System Restore to go back in time so to speak. But FireFox is pretty aggressive with their updates, and eventually that stopped being a work around.

I tried to install an older version of FireFox manually but I couldn't ever get my profile to work right.

So, I've landed somewhere where FireFox has updated to the latest version, AND MightyText works just fine.

But now the problem is I cannot use any of my add-ons. Actually, I can re-fresh FireFox, and start it without any add ons. I can add all my add ons and everything works great, but if I restart my computer, FireFox will not connect to the internet (the wheel just spins) until I refresh again and wipe out all the add-ons. After doing so, all my tabs are restored, all my saved passwords, etc--and I can add back the add-ons and they will work until FireFox Crashes or I restart the computer, but then FF won't connect to the internet and around and around we go.

What's up?

Last night Firefox insisted that it be updated and so I allowed the update on my somewhat antiquated laptop. It's the laptop that my wife uses and because she's far from tech-friendly, things need to be simple and basic. She didn't want to update it because everything was fine for the limited browsing that she uses the laptop for but for the sake of doing as we're told, we let it happen.

When the laptop restarted and we went to open Firefox, a damned User Profile Box appeared - one that's got me scratching my head and cursing. What the hell is it? Choose User Profile Then inside the box; Create Profile Rename Profile Delete Profile She doesn't have a 'profile' - what the hell is it anyway? Why should we make this change - what's it in aid of?

Whatever, we opted to click on Rename Profile and found that the existing profile was 'User', so I renamed it with her name - and then started Firefox. A blank Firefox page appeared - with no favourites; no log-ins; no records - NOTHING. Preferences? NONE. What on earth has happened? She had a selection of physiotherapy exercises in her favourites - WHERE THE HELL ARE THEY? THEY WERE VITAL FOR HER HEALTH AND NOW THEY'RE GONE. Just what the hell is going on? Why do we need to go through all this - where have all her records gone?

Ok - I searched the internet for an answer. I then found a similar case from back in 2015 - and the member (because it was on this forum) came to the conclusion that it was best to use Chrome instead - and I reckon that's what my wife will have to do. If this change can't be undone and if her saved information can't be accessed (and EASILY - not via a string of convoluted instructions that neither she nor I will understand) then you've just lost another customer. Answers please - and simple ones, not a long guide through the mess that's inside Firefox.

Is there a CURRENT explanation (not one from 10 versions ago), for why I keep saving the same new contact over & over & over & over & it never appears in my address book. I've got about a full hour trying to do this one simple thing. The system seems to accept the new contact, but it never actually appears when I pull up "Contacts." How do I set up a new contact?

I can see that there are reasons why Thunderbird defines & differentiates "mailing list" vs "contacts" vs "address book", but having so many options adds to the confusion. Maybe these categories are part of my problem??? I have nothing in what T calls the "Personal address book". I have contacts in both my "Contacts" folder and the "Collected Addresses". My needs are simple... I need ONE address book, which I would use as my ONE mailing list. I don't need subcategories or multiple mailing lists. I just want to add a contact & see it appear in my Contacts folder. Why is such a simple task so difficult in T?
