How to add speed dials in homepage and URL bar on Firefox Android?

I access some sites instantly like alternative search engines, social media, news sites, messages and others so need them on homepage of browser (also new tab like Chrome otherwise speed dials won't work).

But in Firefox Android and Chromebooks, I can't find a way to have done sites as speed dials like Edge browser, Samsung browser, cococ browser, soul browser, mask browser, kiwi browser, Brave browser, Vivaldi browser, and Opera browsers among others. Only Firefox is light years backward despite being veteran.

Humbly requesting this feature urgently as usability is zero when using Firefox browsers and I have to go back to one of the browsers mentioned in that case.

I am a new user of 115.6.1 (64-bit) on a Mac.

I want to sort my contacts by last name. I can't find the menu item I have seen in other posts to do this. Can someone tell me where it is. It's not in my view menu.

If this setting exists, does it apply to all address books? thanks in advance!!!

I need addon tool to export email messages separately to eml format with a 'batching' addon, not all to a zip file not one message at a time, quick export all messages automatically.

One website in particular is almost 100% black. I cannot see most text. On another site, I cannot see check boxes, can't see the trash can icon.

This just happened recently. When I switch to Light Mode in the settings, both sites remain dark.

What settings can I change so everything on a site is visible?

I keep my profile on a detachable USD hard drive so I can use Thunderbird on my laptop when I travel just as I do on my desktop. Thunderbird on both of these computers is the 32-bit version and kept up to date (version 115.6.1). I know how to point Thunderbird to use the profile on the USB drive via the profiles.ini configuration. Recently, I bought a new desktop computer and downloaded Thunderbird from the download web page. UNBEKNOWNST TO ME it downloaded the 64-bit version without giving me a notice or a choice. I edited the profile.ini file to point to the profile on the USB drive and it did not work well. The calendars were disabled, no mail folders appeared and no email accounts appeared. My contacts were OK. So, I shut down the new desktop and I put the USB drive in my old desktop, ran the 32-bit Thunderbird and it now looked as dysfunctional as it did on 64-bit Thunderbird. Ooof. Dead in the water.

Fortunately I had a 2-month old backup and restored that profile after renaming the damaged profile folder on the USB hard drive. I then copied over the mail folders from the damaged folder to the restored profile folder so I would have all the latest mail. I also copied over any files in the main folder of the damaged profile that had not been changed by the 64-bit program on the new desktop computer. Fortunately, when I ran 32-bit Thunderbird, all my email from the last 2 months was there. Some recent calendar entries were missing and I had to redo the POP protocol for one of my 5 email accounts I manage with Thunderbird as I did a couple weeks ago. Yay! I immediately backed up the USB hard drive.

So, any clue why this happened? I am planning to make a test on the new desktop. I uninstalled the 64-bit version and installed the 32-bit version. I am going to restore the 32-bit profile folder from the backup to a USB stick with just the profile folder to see if it works as it does on my old desktop and laptop by just editing profile.ini (and installs.ini) as it is on those two systems.

My Thunderbird was upgraded to 115 automatically, and now I can't see any emails (old and new). Just a blank page. I don't have a backup. How can I resolve this issue? Tried the troubleshooting mode, but didn't help. I've been using TB since 2006, and have thousands of emails in my profile, so can't just create a new profile.

Some of the text in Thunderbird (and also Firefox) displays as a green and pink/purple colour. Even refreshing doesn't seem to change it back to the black text.

I have also noticed that this is also happening in Firefox when I access the admin part of a WordPress site. I have tested the WordPress site with both Chrome and Edge as well, and it only happens with Firefox.

Is there a way of stopping this from happening?

I recently stopped being able to send email. I receive emails just fine. I uninstalled and reinstalled and I'm having the same problem. My wife uses an email account with Spectrum as well and has no such problem. Error message reads - "Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) mail.twc.com timed out. Try again." I've checked my server settings and they're correct. Settings copied from Spectrum: Username Your Spectrum email address Note: Be sure to include your domain after your username. Password Your Spectrum email password SSL On for SMTP and IMAP Protocol IMAP Incoming Server mail.twc.com Incoming Server Port 993 Outging Server mail.twc.com Outging Server Port 587 Requires Authentication Yes, or checked. I have no antivirus, VPN, proxy or firewall software on. I'm using Thunderbird 115.6.1 on Linux Mint 21.3 My wife uses Outlook on Windows 10.

I'm trying to open a web page, which worked perfectly until about a week ago. The address is: https://xdaforums.com/f/xiaomi-poco-x3-pro.12163/

I now get a popup window, which tells me that I'm trying to open a "application/octet-stream (377 bytes)" and gives me the option of "open with" or "save file".

I don't want to do either, just view the page as before.

With the new 118 version that introduced fullpage translations, whenever I got to a site that's not in English and that is one of the supported languages, the translation icon doesn't appear at all in the address bar. I can go to the menu and click "Translate Page..." and then the icon will appear but when I click to "Show original" it dissapears.

Hello,

When I send an email the SENT copy goes into SPAM. I haven't figure out yet if it is just some of the emails or all of them, because it happens sometimes not all the time. Recently, the whole SENT folder content landed into the SPAM folder. I read on the forum here, that I should whitelist my addresses books. I did it, and I put special attention on doing it with my own email address. My believe is that my address has been replicated and someone sends me SPAM from the very same email address I use. Therefore, I whitelisted it on the server setting under Thunderbird settings. When a I receive a SPAM email from my own email address I just delete it.

But, now it is happening again and my own SENT emails land into the SPAM folder.

Is this a Thunderbird issue or my email server issue? How can I fix it?

Thank you so much in advance for your help.

How to save images to the downloads directory (that I chose in settings) without using right click -> save image as .. -> popup window .. then choose the location where I want to save it.

I tried alt+click, it didn't work, it saves the webpage url instead of the image. I prefer a solution that does not involve any add-ons.

OS: Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS Firefox version: 121.0.1 (64-bit)

Thank you.

Please add the following features.

Once the bookmarks are in a collection, then save the whole collection to bookmarks.

When selecting open tabs to save, have the ability to save to both collections and bookmarks at the same time.

Have the ability to select all open tabs so you don't have to select individual tabs.

Basically I created a flux to store and open some MBOX files that are important, and some of them are seemingly empty, although they are like 67Mb. Another detail is that when I opened it the first time I got those files, some folders were automatically created, and when I opened them, some MSF files were created, which is normal, but the name doesn't match with the MBOX file's name, although it matches with one of the created folders. Anyone has an Idea of what to do ? (Those are imported e-mails, and I only used a flux, no e-mail adress, nothing)

Hello,

I am trying to create a management policy for extensions where all themes are allowed, some extensions are force installed, other specified ones are allowed, and anything else is blocked. I have been scouring the web looking for samples and I just can't get it to work as intended. Here is a sample of what I have written.

{ "*": { "blocked_install_message": "IT has blocked the installation of UNAPPROVED add-ons. Please contact the IT Service Desk to request approval.", "install_sources": "https://addons.mozilla.org/*", "allowed_types": ["theme","extension"] }, "plugin@okta.com": { "installation_mode": "force_installed", "install_url": "https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/3601147/okta_browser_plugin.xpi" }, "support@lastpass.com": { "installation_mode": "force_installed", "install_url": "https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/latest/lastpass-password-manager/latest.xpi" }, "developer@zoom.us": { "installation_mode": "allowed", "install_url": "https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/4212428/zoom_new_scheduler-2.1.52.xpi" }, "info@katalon.com": { "installation_mode": "allowed", "install_url": "https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/3826743/katalon_automation_record-5.5.3.xpi" } }

In this current state, I am allowed to install themes, I get the forced installs, but I can install ANY extension. I don't want that.

If I modify the blocking section with [ "installation_mode": "blocked", ], then I only get the force installed plugins and I can't do anything else. It even removes any previously installed themes or plugins not explicitly forced in. The allowed plugins can't be installed either.

I have also tried it without the "extensions" allowed_type but the result did not change. To recap, I need to block any extensions not explicitly pushed or allowed. Would anyone be able to assist and point out what I may be missing please?

~Regards

Thunderbird version: 115.6.1

Since the end of last week, no e-mails have been displayed in the inbox or folders - a number with unread messages and the folder size still appears next to the inbox and folders, and I also receive a desktop notification when a new e-mail arrives. The connection to the server must therefore still be available. The calendar is also displayed.

In the account settings under "Synchronisation & Storge - Disk Space" "Synchronize all messages locally regardless of age" is activated.

Deactivating add-ons does not lead to any different behaviour, but starting Thunderbird in safe mode does. Then all messages are displayed again.

Likewise, "Properties - Repair folder" and clearing the cache under "General - Disk Space - Clear now" do not lead to a solution.

Are there any other solutions I can try?

This occurs only on 1 out of 6 devices accessing the same account. -1 Windows 10, Thunderbird 115.6.1; *** -1 Windows 11, Thunderbird 115.6.1; -2 Zorin OS Thunderbird 115.6.1; -2 Androids gmail

All above devices access the same multiple accounts. The problem is the Windows 10 device, as it displays emails that have not been read in all accounts. The sent folders are empty on all accounts also.

The other devices do not have this problem as they show all emails. When a new email arrives, it is visible on all devices including Windows 10. However, if any device reads the email, and the status changes to "read", then about 20 seconds the email disappears on the Windows 10 device.

Logging into the email account via Firefox Browser, and the emails are all intact. I have ensured View/Threads/All has been selected, and still the problem persists. (I toggled this on the Win-11 machine and the display toggles the read on & off).

I deleted an account, and re-added the account, and as it synchronized only the unread emails displayed. I tried Account-Settings/Synchronization & Storage/Advance/Download to force download all. The process seemed to work, however, the results were the same, unable to see "read" emails.

My last resort will be to un-install Thunderbird from the Windows 10 device, and re-install, and setting up the emails again.

Any advice before re-installing would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi I am the admin site owner of the above site on th site we have a widget that lets us monitor who is in our teamspeak server from the home page this was working great until I and other members updated to firefox 121.0.1. 2 days ago, now we get this message in the widget frame insted.

Firefox Can’t Open This Page To protect your security, server.nitrado.net will not allow Firefox to display the page if another site has embedded it. To see this page, you need to open it in a new window.

I contacted Nitrado support after reading this https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/xframe-neterror-page They say they have fixed the issue but it still present after reinstalling the widget, clearing cache (server and firefox app) and server restart, this is effecting all our uses who use firefox, which is all of them :( can anyone help?
