Hello Firefox Support Team, I am experiencing a critical issue with the Firefox Android app where the control to manage pop-up permissions is entirely absent from the main settings menu. This makes it impossible to use any website that relies on pop-ups for critical functions (such as payment processing, SSO login, or document generation).

1. Problem Description The essential option to allow or block pop-ups is missing globally. For instance, when trying to access a government portal (https://sjmsnew.rajasthan.gov.in), a dialog appears stating the pop-up blocker is active, but there is no mechanism within the browser to disable it.

2. Current Device & App Details App: Mozilla Firefox for Android (146.0 (Build #2016129543), 13567a870654c915cd135b87cd1fe4e02fa8fa55 GV: 146.0-20251201213807 AS: 146.0.2 Latest version as of 2025-12-15) Operating System: Android (Android 14)

3. Technical Issue/Configuration The problem is related to the missing permissions toggle: Missing Toggle: In the main Settings \rightarrow Site settings page, the "Pop-ups and redirects" permission toggle is completely missing from the permissions list. Manual Exceptions Disabled: The "Exceptions" list is empty, and there is no visible option (like an 'Add' or '+' button) to manually add a domain to allow pop-ups. Tracking Protection Status: Enhanced Tracking Protection is currently set to the Standard setting.

4. Request This seems to be a UI bug or a configuration oversight in the current Android build, making the browser unusable for many common tasks. I urgently need guidance on either: a) How to restore the "Pop-ups and redirects" permission toggle in the Site Settings. b) An alternative configuration setting (e.g., using about:config) to allow pop-ups globally until a fix is released. Thank you for your prompt assistance.

After a recent Firefox update, I noticed an issue when trying to rearrange Containers. When I create a new Container, it is added to the bottom of the list (which is expected). However, when I try to rearrange it in Settings → Manage Containers and move it into the middle of the list, the cursor behaves as usual and turns into a plus sign, but instead of rearranging the container, Firefox opens that container in the current tab and displays only a blank white page. The container is not moved in the list at all. This behavior did not occur before the update. All I want to do is rearrange my containers in the list, but this currently seems impossible due to this behavior.

Suddenly last week, the behavior of my Local Folders emails changed. Double clicking caused a reply-to default, not an open in a new window default. All sub-folders seem to have this problem even new ones. Right clicking shows a menu where New Message From template is the default. No other accounts have this problem, but Local Folders is my main email area. Flags show the Inbox as an Inbox, not a Template. Opening a new subfolder under Local Folders indicates that Local Folders is renamed somehow as Templates somewhere in the underside of Thunderbird. I see threads about recent All Mail issues, but this seems different. I have also tried JustAnswers but am unsure that the issue will be fixed with just redoing the Inbox folder. I have also tried the Conifg Editor to change the default right click menus as recommended in various help forums but to no avail. It looks like some part of Thunderbird is handling Local Folders as before, but other parts are assuming it is a Templates folder with Templates characteristics, which it is not. Is there something else I should try?

Hi I have 2 gmail accounts set up in TB. Neither of which are my daily accounts.

I've noticed that both of them put a copy of any email I receive into archives, as well as my inbox. I've checked my account settings & they're identical to those of all my other email accounts.

Not only that, but one of the accounts puts every email I receive into inbox, archive AND archive for that email address, so basically, I'm getting 3 copies of all those emails.

What I want to happen is what happens for all my other emails. They arrive into inbox & I put them in local folders/delete as appropriate

All help gratefully received Thanks

I've been able to drag emails from my old laptop to subfolders using IMAP. The folders are on the server and with my old laptop, I could drag emails from any account to any folder, regardless of which account it was created under. I started trying to do that with a new laptop and it won't let me drag the email. I have to go through the move > search for folder > select folder process. It's a pain in the butt, especially if I have a lot of emails I want to move. Since I could do it on my old laptop, I'm thinking it's some kind of setting that I have on one that I don't have on the other. I just can't figure out what I did differently on the new laptop that it won't let me drag and drop the emails where I want them.

Hello!

I am an MDM engineer using Jamf Pro. I am hoping to be able to add mobile device app configurations for firefox preference settings (plist) for specifically iOS. If Android is possible, that'd be great as well. I did notice there are no available plist or Mobile application management configurations both firefox available directly on Jamf Pro or Intune. Does firefox have available settings to apply in xml or uploadable property lists for mobile devices specifically? I found the github repository but it only lists keys for mac and windows, I've tried these keys in case it also works for mobile devices as well but it seems that is not the case.

I have resisted automatic update of Thunderbird using "check but notify me." For whatever reason on 11/27/2025 Thunderbird was updated to 115.10.1 and it was an unsatisfactory change. Two thing immediately got by attention: 1) the menu bar had been changed and all open tabs had been removed. And 2) I could not find anyway to customize views (see the uploaded image). After two days of fighting this change trying to re-enable custom views, I preserved my mail folders then uninstalled Thunderbird 64-bit and restored Thunderbird 32-bit from an image backup of C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird. That of-course required me to set up my profile again and copy the saved mail folders to the new profile directory tree.

I don't like automatic closing of tabs in 115.10.1 and for that alone would not upgrade beyond what I'm now running.

And I can't work without setting up custom views to show messages automatically sent by my UNIX client's nightly backup process. My default view is to "Filter Super User" as all automatic client backup reports come from the root (superuser) account.

The 115.10.1 had some type of filtering named "Quick View" (This is from my memory as I can't consult a running 115.10.1 installation) that is inadequate as it did not offer a way to save the views for later use (that I could find in my frantic state).

I have private browsing disabled on Firefox but there is a way to still use it via Ctrl +H , right click an item and there is dropdown of "open in private window" and it works. However I have no other way to open private windows since I blocked it. Also when I Ctrl+T in the private browser, it says this is disabled.

Therefore this option in Ctrl+H right click menu should not be there and I don't recall seeing it before. Maybe a bug with a recent Firefox update.

Does anyone know what has happened or how to remove this option?

Thank you!

I use Ubuntu on a Dell Laptop and there is a number attached to the Thunderbird desktop icon on the side-bar which is not related to the number of unread messages?? What is this number about?

Recently, I've found that the OSX keyboard shortcut for focusing the next window in the current application ("Move Focus To Next Window" in System Settings) has changed its behavior. Pressing [cmd + `] will only cycle Firefox's windows until it reaches what seems to be the "end" of the current list of windows open. After this, I have to press [SHIFT+ cmd + `] to go backwards through the list of windows to re-focus any of the other windows.

Before, the behavior was such that I could just repeatedly press [cmd + `] and Firefox would infinitely cycle through all open windows, no shift key needed.

I haven't been able to reproduce this changed behavior in any other applications. Testing this in others (Finder, Safari, etc.) yields the cycling behavior instead of making me reverse the direction with shift to get back to the previous windows.

This is tied to the operating system's command. If I remap the keystroke to something else in system settings, I still need to use the shift key with it in Firefox once I reach the last open window.

Is there a way to get the old cycling behavior back? I find the key command with the shift key to be much less ergonomic.

I haven't been able to find a keyboard shortcut for switching between FF windows. I'm using MacOS Tahoe. Is this in development, or is it there and I just haven't been able to find it.

Is there a reason that settings, such as columns, layout, ordering, folder colours, etc. are not retained in the msf itself?

I have to use multiple machines, so tend to have an archive that I share across them as the primary storage of emails. However, nothing is retained between machines which is a bit annoying when trying to colour code for easy visual cues. So it seems clear that this information is currently stored in the local profile, even though the archive data is a filesystem.
