Every time I launch Firefox it creates 12-13 instances of Firefox along with one each for Chrome and Console.

I don't need that many instances. Typically I have no more than 3-4 tabs open.

Is there a Configuration setting that I can change to reduce the number of instances to 5 and greatly reduce the amount of time it takes to launch.

I am running Windows 10 Pro V21H2 at current update level. I have a custom made tower with 512GB SSD and a Core2 Duo processing running at 2.93 GHz with 8 GB Ram. Firefox is V17.0.1.

I'm having trouble re-establishing email accounts in Thunderbird. I managed to drop them in the process of going to version 115; I don't know how but I did.

Now when I try to add them back I can get through the process (Tools > Account Settings > Account Actions > Add E-Mail Account) and enter the user name, email address, and mail server names and port settings for the various domains I use. All goes well until the final phase when it tries to validate the password. The final message says "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password."

I've done everything I know to do to fix this. I've changed passwords, checked, re-checked, verified, checked re-checked and re-verified the domain's POP3 and SMTP server names and port addresses all to no avail. I'm having trouble with my ISP's (grandecommunications purchased by Astound Communications) support on issues with email addresses that use their domain (@mygrande.net) but I'm also having the same problem with gmail domain (@gmail.com) addresses.

I would abandon the email addresses if it weren't for the fact that some of the email on servers is critical and needs to be downloaded to my system. Also, I can't log in to some accounts because the companies use 2-step authentication that involves sending codes to my email addresses instead of codes texted to my phone. This has reached near crisis proportions as I cannot reach those companies except online which requires 2-step authentication using those email addresses that I cannot set up again in Thunderbird.

I'm willing to take screenshots at each step if that will be helpful. I'm afraid that I've dealt with the problem for so long that I'm making the same mistake repeatedly but not recognizing that I'm doing so.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Ads and other annoyances that distract me from being able to browse the web in peace are a pet peeve of mine. Take for instance this example amazon prime promotion that loads in its own web page that cannot be blocked by normal means. I do not wish to use amazon prime and don't want to be asked every time I checkout in order to complete a purchase. To make matters worse, the options are deceptively colored much like how bloatware developers word their installation wizards. I want to be able to bypass this page entirely and get redirected to the "no thanks" option every time this page loads. Is this something that can be done so I can shop online without being nagged for unwanted services?

A certain website (flixbus.com) is getting pinned on my firefox automatically. I have unpinned it several times but after few seconds, it gets pinned again. It's driving me nuts. I even cleared all my cookies but it didn't help.

I am a long time (10+ yrs) user of Thunderbird. I recently deployed v104 on Ubuntu and find using the address book at less than half screen width difficult. Once a contact pane has been opened it covers most (all but 2+ entries) of the existing address list (see attached.) For me, this could be improved if a widget to close the contact window, otherwise I have to close and reopen the address book to clear the contact pane/window.

Is there a solution I am missing?

Thanks for your time, Andy

Hello.

I have my Gmail setup in Thunderbird and everything is working well for the most part. I just have a question about the way the Gmail folders are shown in Thunderbird.

The Inbox is shown under the mail @gmail folder as I'd expect. But the other folders do not appear directly under it. Rather they're shown as "sub folders" under one called '[Gmail]'. Any idea why that is? See picture below. Thanks.

I use Firefox on my Mac. Since updating to the OS Ventura, I now see many words on different sites, as well as numbers, show up as things like zzjk{d instead of saying brett. This happens on my ebay site, my american express site which I cannot see any numbers of transactions cost since all the numbers show up as (d9 f for example. Something is not working correctly. I checked and and up to date with all firefox updates. Safari works perfect on all sites so this is a Firefox issue. See attached for how some areas on eBay look. Not all words are like this, some are still english spelling correctly. But some pages like this support page are completely unrecognizable but works correctly on Safari.

When using GMX and trying to open the Cloud screens I keep getting a Warning screen and the page won't open and then I am logged out of my acct. I have attached a pic of the screen print as I cannot seem to add the screen print in the system. I need help to correct this issue.

Thanks Shirley

Firefox has been my default browser for longer than I can remember. Over the years, I have maintained a significant bookmark file for work. I recently purchased a new computer, and my zero bookmarks from the new computer have replaced all of the bookmarks that I had in my old browser. This is a bookmark file that has successfully followed me through multiple computers and even my ios devices. And now it seems to be completely gone. I've looked at the places.sqlite files, and the largest one is 20MB and is in my current default profile, but it is dated today. That makes no sense because I do not have any bookmarks on this older computer, and my new computer doesn't have any either. The bookmarks have also been completely deleted from my iPad, but miraculously are still on my iPhone (evidently I had signed out of Firefox for iPhone at some point so they do exist somewhere.) The thought of trying to rebuild my bookmarks is nauseating. My only thought is to sign out of the browser on all devices, then sign back in and sync on the phone. Would that repopulate the main file with what's on my phone? Any other ideas?

Firefox is constantly hanging and trying to load. I have done several re installs and everything else to correct this problem but it still exists.

Thanks for the help al

Somehow I seem to have lost everything from my Yahoo pages. Sent, Archive, Deleted are all empty. There should be a mass of stuff in there. I was looking through Settings and may have accidentally clicked on something I shouldn't have. I was not intending to change anything. I guess I can't recover anything but I want to get it back as it was so whatever happens from now is saved in the right place.

What do I need to do to achieve this? You just can't guess the mass of stuff that has disappeared. A lot of it irreplaceable. Thanks in advance. Mike

when i am using firefox and i am switching between my word app the web page being displayed it will say expired when returning to it when i am only off the program to paste a word. What can I do to prevent having to refresh and confirm every time??

Normally when I am not using Firefox My cursor is different (I have changed it in settings). Yet when I use Firefox It changes to Ubuntu's Default cursor. I don't know what type of information is required but I will happily provide them if you tell me about them.

I was able to get emails until update. How do I fix this? I have re-downloaded and still no emails. Is Mozilla going to fix this problem? Since I can't get emails you won't be able to email me unless you fix Thunderbird. I just donated a few days ago and now I get nothing.
